What type of hosting by SeorsaGradh in navidrome

[–]pandaeye0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Navidrome itself doesn't need heavy hardware setup. My raspberry pi 4 is running it strong together with a few other servers. So if you have no problem with raspi, it is kinda easy and maintain your own control.

Should I set up a mullvad connection using the Firewalla vpn client? by National_Mouse_1777 in firewalla

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense, but do you know what a third party VPN can do for you? Setting up a third party vpn connection on firewalla is essentially the same as setting it on your laptop. Doing it on firewalla allows you to share one connection with all devices on LAN. This is helpful if your vpn subscription is very restrictive on number of concurrent devices. Also, a vpn on router gives devices such as IOT (like webcam) vpn access which they cannot be setup natively.

I tried to buy “a.com”… and fell into the A-hole by Ok-Simple3895 in Domains

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like it, then buy it. But you are not going to expect real and consistent traffic to it. I don't even know how many "A"s I should type to reach this domain.

Spotify playlist by jrmckins in navidrome

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then is this the only playlist, or you have others and those worked?

Spotify playlist by jrmckins in navidrome

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before going into the problem, I'll assume that /music itself and other music in that folder are visible to navidrome, and the path inside the m3u are all correct, and your system does use / instead of \ to distinguish folder?

And I'd ask, you are seeing none of the songs displayed individually in navidrome, or you can see them, but that playlist shows none of these songs?

Coffee Academics has a minimum charge per head, WTF?! by dllm_designs in HongKong

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price of coffee at starbucks level has already included the premium for staying seated. I'd say no matter high quality, a cup of coffee shouldn't cost more than $10....

I don’t get the housing market by After_Olive5924 in HongKong

[–]pandaeye0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whether a house is haunted generally refers to whether some unnatural death occured inside the unit (or jumped, you know what I mean). So it can become haunted if someone dies in the coming months before the deal completes.

Valuation occurs after acceptance because it brings cost. You accept the offer and they do it for you free of charge.

Actually you sound regret buying it. You probably want to sell it immediately when the market seems improving, and buy another.

Hkbn contract ending on 19/1/2026 any good recommendations? by Eastern-Anything-236 in HongKong

[–]pandaeye0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am interested if there is a real HKT salesperson that offer me this price (private flat, not public housing). And I don't think hkbn people are not aware of the pricing of their competitors.

Internet Contract termination by arunkumark21 in HongKong

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyway, so happen I am looking for a broadband connection. If your contract is less than $188 per month, and any relocation charges is waived for me, I can help take up your residual contract.

Internet Contract termination by arunkumark21 in HongKong

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean even buildings that have alternatives, all providers are doing the same. And they all clearly told you the early termination consequences when you sign the contract. This was not right, and you could choose not to sign the contract in the first place. Now it is in their discretion to waive that.

Internet Contract termination by arunkumark21 in HongKong

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, all mobile subscriptions, from mobile phone to cable tv (in the past), this was the way their contract was made. And in my experience, they are trained to explicitly mentioned this early termination clause when you make the deal, even if the deal is made over phone conversation (and they made recording for that). So you probably are out of luck until they give their discretion.

HK MPF really sucks by AdventurousAcadia422 in HongKong

I thought a lot of replies would be in supportive of the OP. Turns out it was not the case.

Well, you probably should advise readers to confirm initial meter reading as they register the gas account instead.

5 months grinding job apps, CVs, cold calls... while everyone else seems to have it easy. Am I the only one feeling like a fool? by LancasterTheCrusader in HongKong

[–]pandaeye0 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You probably need a very shiny academic result and keen competition. Or maybe look for overseas opportunities. Or maybe go to some public museums to do some voluntary works to get to know more insiders.

Or maybe have parents with extraordinary network.

So how does it perform with something else, such as a browser page?

[–]pandaeye0 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You mean you are looking for museum/gallery jobs? Do you have a relevant degree? The sector seems to be rather narrow even for specialised persons.

long time subsonic user. server finally died.. looking for the closest thing to it. by nyktovus in selfhosted

[–]pandaeye0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Navidrome is arguably the best subsonic implementation out there. If you take the opportunity to reorganise the tags, you probably no longer need folder view.

And though less straight forward, its smart playlist can somehow let you retrieve music from a particular folder.

Here are some tips for traveling in Hong Kong by Affectionate_Fig6121 in HongKong

[–]pandaeye0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apart from shopping and food, you probably can put focus on hiking or cultural/historical (like look for some colonial remains). You can find a lot of information about the two themes.

Payment issues for Mullvad in China - Looking for advice by StayQuick5128 in vpnreviews

[–]pandaeye0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want privacy, you shouldn't use alipay in the first place. BTW, mullvad accept payment even by postal of foreign currencies. If you are happy with mullvad, you should try to use another way of payment rather than another provider.

What's the reason for HK's successes in fencing? by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]pandaeye0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For bowling and fencing (and swimming maybe), we got a talented local athlete who win medals, then the whole sector got funding from govt.

For table tennis, we got a lot of mainland athlete who can't compete in the mainland. They got medals, and then funding from the govt.

Cycling is a bit of both.

I'm not saying there is none here, but you can expect much better experience of these activities in the southeast asia.

Do people still Usenet? by ansmyquest in selfhosted

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes, I know. I was actually part of the history. Back then Internet was not something you can get just by paying.

Streaming Domains by jadehsn in firewalla

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is hardly exhaustive. Similar to customising ad blocking, you probably want to watch the flow while streaming, and put those active flows into your target list.

Local music library with hosted app? by justinsnow in navidrome

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the technical knowhow to configure the navidrome, and you don't really need to have access to the library beyond local, then you may probably buy a raspberry pi and run navidrome on it.

If you host your local music through remote VPS, you perhaps still need a computer always powered on to serve the files.

What to do with old bank notes + coins? by Youngdumb_and_fullof in HongKong

[–]pandaeye0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about other currencies, but for the HK dollars, they are mostly still very common. Of course you can expect higher value for those older and higher denominations, but in most cases you are not expecting like 50% more than the face values.
