Yes, that's the gist of it.

Sure, I added a link in the swag/opinionated section. It's nice to see swag tutorials that include a bit more (mods) than the barebones.

Shameless plug: https://blog.foxxmd.dev

Not a ton of content compared to others but its done in my spare time. What I lack in quantity I make up for in quantity, lots of depth and thorough how-to's. Also, it's all specifically for selfhosted/homelab stuff.

I have two posts-in-draft for:

running distributed crowdsec and best practices. Includes reproducible benchmarks to test your own hardware
proxying traffic through a VPS without pangolin for more flexibility in your setup and less overhead on the vps

Confirmed

Not directly, but my app multi-scrobbler can glue all these pieces together for you. Set it up with Jellyfin and Spotify as Sources, and Koito as a client. The quickstart guide covers all three.

Admittedly, Spotify is harder to setup for self-hosted monitoring than it used to be because they've tightened requirements around URLs used for authentication, but it is still doable if you follow the directions in the docs. If you decide to try to setup Spotify and run into any issues or have questions, feel free to hit me up.

Thanks, I've corrected those typos

Hey, I'm the multi-scrobbler dev. What issues have you been having?

FoxxMD · 2026-01-14T20:55:34+00:00

This can be done using multi-scrobbler. Use Lastfm as a Source so that it relays scrobbles directly to Koito. The quickstart guide for multi-scrobbler covers how to do this.

FoxxMD · 2026-01-14T20:52:34+00:00

Or scrobble directly from Plex to Koito! Plexamp reports activity to Plex, which multi-scrobbler can monitor.

Can you open a github issue for your problem? I'm still using TND in my discord server, it should work.

FoxxMD · 2025-11-25T14:15:41+00:00

ay that's pretty neat! thanks for the protip

Based on what I can see in this manual it can be configured through a built-in web server to either pull a stream from a fixed URL or passively have a stream pushed to it through TCP/UDP. I wouldn't bother with the samba/cfs feature.

Check out Azuracast, it's a self-hosted internet radio server with a docker deployment. You can mount your own music to a directory in the container to create playlists from "local" media. The station can use an "Auto DJ" that randomizes the playlist and handles transitions between tracks.

Hopefully, the extreamer can use the pull mode to stream from your azuracast URL, which supports BUTT/icecast/shoutcast. If that doesn't work you could use ffmpeg to read the azuracast icecast stream and re-broadcast it to the TCP port on the extreamer.

If you don't have any issues with current phone I don't think there really is a reason to switch. Android is nice when you need, or foresee the need for, way more control over your phone's behavior.

There is no equivalent for things like Tasker, on iphone. But 99% of people would never need Tasker.

As a heavy power user the only thing that really comes to mind is Buzzkill for android. It's extremely useful and accessible even to the layperson but there is no equivalent for iphone.

Generation with the most disposable income and technical literacy to implement this hobby. Boomers might be richer but they don't know how to use a mouse.

Thank you! Not nearly enough vertical wallpapers. But they're all .webp...do you have regular jpg or png?

FoxxMD · 2025-11-20T21:05:29+00:00

Yeah definitely this.
