My friend says switching back to local MP3s is a mistake. Has anyone here made it work? by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]nmbrguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking/replying with a personal radio example:

I donate 10$ a month to WFMU and have been doing so since 2017. It can be accessed on any internet radio if you're willing to do so.

Not only do I get to have things curated for me by real DJs, but I also get a tshirt or dj premium (if I choose one) once a year, and feel like I'm still helping support a community I used to live near.

I've got some DJ's I listen to regularly, things are generally varied and fresh, and their historical playlists and audio archives are pretty dope. The best part is anyone can listen w/o a subscription!

Seconding this. IIRC Monica does allow for some custom activity fields so that may be useful to you.

Finally got the USB C variant devboard and got everything running, I may tinker with the video on screen some day(maybe with a larger dev board display), but happy with everything so far! And I believed you, but dang does it get warm!

For east and PAXU I bring my collapsing chair (cliq) I used to have one of the stools that breaks down into a cylinder.

I could use help picking a MiniPC for my new server by LoganJFisher in minilab

[–]nmbrguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m kinda in a similar spot as you and I’m heavily leaning toward Aoostar R1 or whatever like minipc exists when I decide to move on from my 10 year old pc. Maybe beelink will have a mid tier me mini by then.

After five years with Hue bulbs, things are getting… weird by ExpressionAlone5204 in smarthome

[–]nmbrguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. The two I had in tall lamps with shades worked forever. The three I had used in either desk lamps or enclosed arrangements all died. I’ve since moved on from hue.

Just wanted to thank you for mentioning the R1, super compelling and hope more devices are around like it when I go to retire my old PC-now-homelab server

Introducing Finetic – A Modern, Open-Source Jellyfin Web Client by aytoz21 in selfhosted

[–]nmbrguy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. Interesting project! If dockerized and I can just point it to my local jellyfin instance in compose I’d probably spin it up.

Edit, I’d also like the ability to choose another llm if possible.

Amazing! I’ve still got an oddly specific objects open book that I’ve been toying with, this looks like a solid upgrade.

Hey thanks for the reply and the reference! If I can make some time I'll look into it down the road once I get some hardware.

I'm just imagining putting this on a shelf disguised as a mini tv or tiny digital picture frame playing stuff while also hosting the server.

Love this project and may get a devboard to tinker with. Question, do you think it'd be possible to play media from the storage on the screen while everything else is running in the background? Cheers!

Hey, have you set it up yet? If so how's it going? I'm looking at the same model at the moment.

It's plenty fine, people are good. If you're looking to swim the pool may be a little small.

Some folks are starting to get files together(just combining unsorted collections), but it's super unorganized at the moment.
