I’ve been looking into PiKVM this week, to allow me to administrate certain systems over IP. It also allows for remotely powering on and off a system, if you use an additional expansion module. It isn’t an entirely cheap option, though.

Feature thoughtfulness.

I’m test driving podgrab right, and I really like it, very snappy. It looks like it might not be under active development anymore, unfortunately. The only thing it’s missing I’d have hoped for, is some sort of automatic tagging mechanism.

Ah, hmm. I just set my account with the vars SLSKD_SLSK_USERNAME and SLSKD_SLSK_PASSWORD

Delete everything Meta. Jesus Christ. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. The general public truly are lazy consumer idiots, aren’t they?

Per the readme,

Once the container is running you can access the web UI over HTTP on port 5030, or HTTPS on port 5031. The default username and password are slskd and slskd, respectively. You’ll want to change these if the application will be internet facing.

No tips, I just didn’t find the configuration process very intuitive. This was compounded by my needing to essentially translate some of my preferred N+ settings to the slskd yaml config.

When you get the config dialed in, the simplicity makes it 10x better than N+ in my opinion.

Did you turn that butter knife into a makeshift spudger?

Nicotine+ is great.

If Docker is your thing, slskd is good.

You work in the coal mines?

Tailscale is the way. You can make their free tier go really far, especially if you use your own OIDC solution.

I use a DAP with an SD card on the go, because my whole collection is lossless and I like fidelity. However, it’s convenient to be able to stream music to my TV while doing house chores, in addition to allowing family access.

I’m in the habit of manually cross-referencing Discogs for every album I run through Picard, often making alterations if need be. I’ve also spent a lot of time configuring and scripting the shit out of the tool to get a pretty immaculate collection.

Thank you for the info. I might try this, however I’m already having a 10x better experience now that I’ve set up Navidrome, and then tried the Symphonium client.

I meticulously use Picard to curate my collection. I’m 99% certain it’s not me or my library, it’s the assumptions Jellyfin makes about specific artist related tags, and the inability to override said assumptions.

I tried their demo, and I really dig the minimalist approach. Might give it a shot.

I’m very interested in Games on Whales. Are there any hardware implications with this approach? IE, does it perform better with consumer or pro Nvidia GPUs? I assume decause it’s using Docker, the more RAM the better.
