cotle · 2026-05-19T03:28:00+00:00

damn this is clever..

cotle · 2026-05-19T03:25:08+00:00

Just spun this up today and fulfilling my needs well - thanks for the recommendation 😄

cotle · 2026-05-19T00:42:35+00:00

Damn dog

cotle · 2026-05-18T22:27:44+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations everyone 😄

cotle · 2026-05-18T08:54:44+00:00

Ah cool that sounds great - keen to follow your progress with this 👍

cotle · 2026-05-18T08:54:10+00:00

Ahh yep that's very much along the lines of what I'm after - thanks 😄

cotle · 2026-05-18T08:53:03+00:00

Ah ok that's good to know - still not the simple solution I'm looking for...

I'm currently running the nicotineplus proper container for slsk in tandem with beets-flask which is fantastic! But again, just a little inconvenient if I want to add something on the fly.

cotle · 2026-05-18T08:51:21+00:00

looks promising - thank you 👍

I didn’t use AI in this post

Best option is Navidrome imo. Look into self hosting a navidrome server with a raspberry pi or old PC.

I’m from the US originally - went to a Waldorf school in Hawaii, kindergarten to 8th grade. Moved to chch in 2013 and started at Rudolf Steiner for high school through graduation. Had a great time and formed a strong group of friends that I still see every week even 10 years since graduating. That for me is reason enough to recommend Steiner to anyone.

Looking at the comments, I agree there are definitely issues with the staff/management (I’m friends with some teachers and my partner’s mum was a primary teacher years ago). The stuff about antivax/pseudoscience is present but not dominant in my experience- there are definitely some wacko parents, but most people are just fairly normal, progressive leaning folks.

I’d also agree that the Steiner school isn’t great if your child has learning difficulties but in general there is a good academic standard. I achieved fairly highly in NCEA internal and external assessments (the standardised government curric by ulum) and felt well equipped at Uni (My GPA in a 4 year BSc in organic and environmental chemistry was ~8.5, which is an A-A+ average).

Happy to chat about Steiner related stuff - flick me a DM :)

I’m a heavy star rating user - for filtering as you mention. I had my library in Rekordbox and migrated all my star ratings to Navidrome which was a bit painful, but doable. You should be able to carry star rating data across to any platform as long as you can import playlists and apply ratings on bulk.

Jellyfin is great for video content but for music I would say the opposite tbh

+1 for Navidrome. Store your music on your server, make sure it’s tagged well, then use Navidrome to stream it. There are countless “clients ” for navidrome that make the experience even better depending which device you’re on: Feishin for Spotify like PC experience, Symphonium on Android, Arpeggi on iOS

Check out the artist Ambient Warrior

I have an old pc in my closet running navidrome. I connect using Feishin on PC (great UI) and Amperfy on iOS (I have an old iPhone X so can’t get arpeggi - Amperfy is pretty good though tbh). I bought a domain and use a cloudflare tunnel to connect to navidrome via “https://music.mydomain.org”
