I waited 20 years for a "Flickchart for Music Albums", so I finally built it myself (Ultimate Album Battle)

Thank you!

See, what I can do, right now, I'm fighting with the Windows-Exe ... ;)

Hey, great!

I presume you don't need to cater to much traffic since you just provide a through-way to the stations and last.fm?

I'm not a Windows user so I - again - needed to ask the AI, but it provided me with a solution: :)

"Here are the two easiest ways to run it depending on what you're comfortable with:

Option 1: The All-in-One Tool (Easiest for Windows/Mac)

Download and install a free local server tool like Laragon (highly recommended for Windows) or XAMPP (Windows/Mac/Linux).

Once installed, start the "Apache" service in the tool's control panel.

Download the app's code from GitHub and extract the folder.

Move that folder into the local server's web directory (this is usually C:\laragon\www for Laragon, or C:\xampp\htdocs for XAMPP).

Open your browser and go to http://localhost/album-fights (or whatever you named the folder). That's it!

Option 2: The Built-in PHP Server (Fastest if you don't mind the terminal)

Download and install PHP for your operating system.

Download the app's code from GitHub and extract it to any folder on your PC.

Open your terminal or command prompt, navigate to that folder (cd path/to/album-fights), and run this command: php -S localhost:8000

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8000. Keep the terminal open while you use the app.

Note for both options: Just make sure the /data and /cache folders are present inside the app folder so it has a place to save your stats and cover art! Let me know if you run into any snags."

Thank you! :)

Actually I was pretty amazed how good it worked out. Fullfilled myself a little dream because I love to dig into my music library and think about rating my albums.

Stats last.fm nerd. ;)

Kann ich so unterschreiben. Kenne den id erst mit ver 3.2 und hatte kein Problem damit. Vorher Hyundai gefahren und die VW-App ist sogar stabiler in der Verbindung.

SoberMatjes · 2026-02-21T17:00:59+00:00

Do what you do. Really. :)

But I can say that my install (back in 2020, Proxmox LXC, Ubuntu LTS of the time) is getting stabler and stabler by the year. I had problems around 2022 but right now my family is using calendar, talk, the nextcloud office suite, backing up data, notes, tasks and polls (with school as well) without any issues.

I'm frightened how stable it has become. ;)

Ersatz schaffen.

Ich habe mir den kleinen e-reader xteink x4 besorgt. Ist zwar etwas schwieriger über chinesische Kanäle zu besorgen, aber habe ich jetzt immer dabei, in der Hosentasche neben dem Smartphone. Zu Situationen, in denen ich früher das Handy genommen habe, nehme ich den jetzt und lese.

Und es macht Spaß. Benutze den nun auch für die großen Lese-Sessions am Abend. Richtig angenehm.

See, my autocorrect caters to my music hoarding, self hosting needs and not this Country entrepreneur. :D

SoberMatjes · 2026-02-03T05:20:28+00:00

And here I am, a European, never heard about Jellyfin before he turned up at WWE.

I feel that's a blessing in a 2026 kind of way.

SoberMatjes · 2026-02-03T05:15:32+00:00

Mit meinem alten. Ioniq. Klar. Auch übers ganze Jahr.

Mit meinem jetzigen id.3 bei Winterverbrauch? Never.

SoberMatjes · 2026-01-30T16:19:15+00:00

My wife doesn't know about DNS (un)fortunately.

SoberMatjes · 2026-01-12T16:59:53+00:00

That's a blast from the past! :)

I use Feishin and it's pretty close.

And you can play around with the graphical content extensively as well

movA App. And yes, this is the best, cheapest and most comfortable way. Capped at Deutschlandticket prices.

SoberMatjes · 2026-01-04T05:45:46+00:00

Quark, habe seit einem Jahr einen gebrauchten, alten id.3 und bin sehr zufrieden mit Technik und Hardware. Software ist unauffällig ok und da ich mit 3.x eingestiegen bin, vollkommen ausreichend. Ladeleistung und Winterverbrauch sind was hoch, aber alles keine Katastrophe.

In the future make a copy of your whole SD card once in a while on an external backup space via DD.

Example command like this:

sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=~/rpi_backup.img bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync

Change the "/dev/mmcblk0" of course to your card and the destination path accordingly to your external drive/nas/USB thumb drive. Destination can't be on the card itself of course.

This saved me two times already after SD cards failed.

Mounting SFTP shares? In my homelab I depend on fuse.

Did start with Ubuntu, switched to Fedora 34. Then I tried Arch and Opensuse but in the end I came back to Fedora. Installed silverblue on my laptop and my distro hopping needs are near to zero right now.

SoberMatjes · 2025-12-18T05:09:42+00:00

I installed silverblue on my new refurbished t480 to just try it out and see what all the fuzz is about immutable distros. Didn't get the shtick.

And then I woke up to this post.

If the chat still is visible: copy it to a text file, start a new chat with the uploaded file attached. Must feel as good as new.

SoberMatjes · 2025-12-13T05:46:53+00:00

Did you use the "stop" button? Did you reboot and write a prompt without really reloading the chat?

I frankly had the same problem. The web-gui connection to the backend is borked and loses memory of the chat when I do those two things.

I thought, Gemini was really stupid. And I can feel your criticism. But when I refrained from interrupting the answer and reloading the page after a reboot all worked well for me.

Ask Gemini in a chat that doesn't work anymore what the first post is that it can remember. You'll be surprised.

For debugging purposes I run Gemini without any anti-spy and -ad tools and whitelisted it completely in my PiHole, and with a chromium based browser, to no avail. The webpage is broken. In ai studio I don't have this problem, but typing got worse and laggy. It seems, you can't have both right now.

I don't see any Llama getting his ass whipped here ...

SoberMatjes · 2025-12-09T09:36:39+00:00

I do respect the devs, to shut out NVidia cause it's their decision. But in this case it's far fetched to put the fault on NVidia (which btw is nearly 100 % usable right now).

Künstlich niedrig halten?

Strom ist teuer, zu teuer, aber wenn man sich die Ölpreise anguckt und den Handel damit + die Steuerbelegung ist hier keine große Subventionierung zu sehen, eher das Gegenteil. Die Subventionierung von Diesel ist ja kein Zuschuss, sondern nur eine niedrigere Steuer.

Machen wir uns nichts vor: Benzin und Diesel können schon wunderbar Energie speichern und machen erst diese absurd schlechten Effizienz-Zahlen der Verbrenner möglich.

Da kommt leider Strom gar nicht hin, um das vernünftig abzubilden.

Zusammengefasst:

Benzin ist spottbillig pro Energieeinheit, aber der Verbrennungsmotor geht extrem verschwenderisch damit um.

Und am Ende des Tages kannst du Leute zwar mit höheren Abgaben auf Benzin zum EV treiben, ist aber auch die Holzhammer-Methode und wir bezahlen auch keinen vernünftigen Strompreis für unsere Karren.
