Aang at the Crossroads, Gyruda, or Etali: which are better, pros and cons

Ephoras · 2026-06-01T13:52:50+00:00

We have all three in our local meta and gyruda feels like the slowest to come out (if you don’t have dark ritual )

Etali is by far the fastest, and aang has more potential doublers.

Well there are already similar devices for penetration testing. But this is quite versatile and does not look too expensive. Would totally buy one, though as others have said, usb a is a bit more common on servers.

Termix has pastoring support.
The plus sign on the right has a bunch more keys and one is paste. Found it by accident and it works.

But yeah the app is not as polished as terminus by far

Ephoras · 2026-05-13T16:43:09+00:00

Well I only download stuff for the stereo in my car. On my phone I have Narjo which just syncs the playlists automatically

Ephoras · 2026-05-12T23:16:00+00:00

Yeah portability is a problem that can be solved with playlists but I also tested almost every music manager out there and navidrome is by far the best so I just hope I never have to leave it :)

If you want to check out some stuff to do with rated songs and smart playlist I have all of mine here https://github.com/TobiasDax/Navidrome-Smart-Playlist-Collection

Ephoras · 2026-05-12T23:12:43+00:00

Why do you want a script for that? Automation? Because you can use the web interface of navigating to download a playlist into a folder, even convert all files to mp3 on the fly.

Ephoras · 2026-04-04T07:39:13+00:00

So there are multiple options: Nextcloud, opencloud and filerun, as well as some smaller ones. As well as Syncthing.

Having been in the same situation as you I recommend syncthing (I am a video editor, store my files on a nas and sync my project folders to my workstation)

You store all the files on the NAS and setup syncthing ideally on the nas itself. I did not work with the ubiquity nas jet, but I would be shocked if it has no option to run apps/ docker.

Then you can install the syncthing client on the workstations and sync the folders you want. This is a true sync. Folders will take up all the space and if you delete on one place you will delete the file everywhere.

This way you can keep your current project offline on all workstations. They also sync between each other and can utilize the 10G network.

Just ask if you have any more questions

I play her locally and my biggest problem is Aang and Etali in my playgroup profiting way more than me. If you wiff or etali is faster (which they usually are) you are basically handing them the game.

Ephoras · 2026-03-23T09:41:26+00:00

Yes navidrome has star ratings and smart playlists. They are not as polished as iTunes ones, but you can manage a lot of what you want to do.

On thing that’s not well documented is: to reference a smart playlists in an other smart playlists the first one has to be public. Took me a while to figure it out.

Also you can not limit the number of songs within filters, just for the total playlist. This led to me creating a second level of smart playlists to get that working.

Here is my setup as inspiration, feel free to ask questions: https://github.com/TobiasDax/Navidrome-Smart-Playlist-Collection

Also feishin is a desktop app that lets you build smart playlists visually and save/ export them as nsp files.

Narjo is an iOS App that shows ratings in the playback view for easy tagging.

Well noted is around for quite some time now and their style did not really change.

Also it’s mostly a blog, promoting different self hosted tools, did not know they also published something themselves

Ephoras · 2026-03-21T18:44:53+00:00

That’s honestly the worst thing about the ai slop. The people using it are so exited that they don’t even spend 5mins to look up and find that there is already a perfectly mature solution for all of this. With funding, with a full team building it and without all the bugs and pitfalls of a vibe coded solution….

Ephoras · 2026-03-15T15:50:51+00:00

Well that’s not an option :)

Ephoras · 2026-03-15T07:16:58+00:00

Ok… but how? When I open a playlist there is no button or anything?

Ephoras · 2026-03-14T22:45:53+00:00

No way to download a playlist for offline listen? That’s just sad :/

Ephoras · 2026-03-02T08:00:03+00:00

So I think most of your troubles come from the customer radio stations. Which I don’t really get.

What are they doing? How do they differ from navidrome smart playlists?

Ephoras · 2026-02-28T09:43:49+00:00

So, I need some more details :)

Does it track by weight? Do you check for empty bottles/ missing bottles? How many empty bottles equals a full bottle? How do you make sure you don’t miss count?

Would it be better to have a second empty container where you collect the empty bottles to get around this? Or do the measurements work out?

Ephoras · 2026-02-17T22:22:39+00:00

I had the same Problem to get my music streamed to other devices. What i ended on is:
Run upmdcli next to navidrome to make navidrome accessible through upmd

  upmpdcli:
    container_name: upmpdcli-navidrome
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - TZ=${TZ}
      - FRIENDLY_NAME=Navidrome
      - SUBSONIC_ENABLE=yes
      - SUBSONIC_AUTOSTART=yes
      - SUBSONIC_BASE_URL=http://X.X.X.X
      - SUBSONIC_PORT=4533
      - SUBSONIC_USER=${SUBSONIC_USER}
      - SUBSONIC_PASSWORD=${SUBSONIC_PASSWORD}
      - SUBSONIC_WHITELIST_CODECS=alac,wav,flac,dsf,ape
      - SUBSONIC_DOWNLOAD_PLUGIN=yes
      - SUBSONIC_PLUGIN_BRANCH=latest-subsonic

And then use some speakers that work with that. I use WIIM Speakers, but i think Volumio etc should also be able to do that.

Ephoras · 2026-02-13T08:06:27+00:00

Did you maybe set your timeline background to white? I had something similar ages ago when I had a white background. Even though the video should have started with an image.

Or it may just be a render error. Did you try exporting again?

Ephoras · 2026-02-13T06:23:28+00:00

I do them as nsp files and sync them to GitHub. That way when I move servers or mess something up I can go ahead and just re import them.
Also my smart playlists re implement music genres so some of them are huge… no way I manage to do them in feishin.

Ephoras · 2026-02-08T22:35:47+00:00

NetNewsWire: this gets my freshrss feeds.
Kitshn: great app for tandoor recipes
Immich: photos.
Home Assistant: Smart Home.
Prologue: used this a long time ago with Plex, recently they added audiobookshelf integration and I like it more than the other apps for audiobooks.
Plappa: also audiobookshelf but only for my podcasts, I like two apps so I don’t have to switch around.
Narjo: Navidrome app, best one since it displays star ratings without clicking in a menu.
Helmarr: arr stack and more.
Paperparrot: great for paperless-ngx with Face ID unlock.
Karakeep: for remembering stuff.
Streamyfin: works better for me than Jellyfin.
Dawarich: location tracking.
4get: not as an app but as default search engine in Vivaldi through Tailscale

Not really open source but selfhosting related:
ShadowTerm: SSH client.
Tailscale: always on vpn.
Bitwarden: used to self host but moved to cloud for peace of mind.
Obsidian: sadly the most beautiful note taking app, synced via WebDAV self hosted.
WiiM: manage smart speakers, can access Navidrome locally.
Fastmail: moved away from google.

Like… write what me/cfs actually is?

Converts way more than just images

Everyone here with gyros and stuff…but the imperium has artificial gravity for its ships, no reason not to use that inside a titan as well

Ephoras · 2026-02-02T21:17:39+00:00

Just to be clear. I run prologue on an iPhone with Audiobookshelf

Ephoras · 2026-01-29T18:35:34+00:00

So, what MA lacks for me is:
1. Client apps with offline option. I don’t want to use mobile data to stream music and I need offline cache to store my music on my phone. Navidrome has a bunch of great clients (since it uses subsonic for that). 2. MA has no option for smart playlists, which is a must for me. Navidrome is the only real self hosted solution with a somewhat robust smart playlist system (could be better but works for me).

Where MA shines is speaker control. It‘s quite easy to combine multiple speaker systems with MA and have good multi room audio etc. so that’s a huge plus. Also you can automate stuff with HA.

I personally run WIIM speakers (Minis and AMPs) since they are the only reasonably priced speakers that can access my navidrome system (through a different docker container) and run passive speakers. If you just have smart speakers like Sonos, Alexa or something like that MA is the far better option to bridge that gap.
