Mostly ease of management. I have a server on which I run multiple applications. If I don’t need something anymore, I can just purge the container. The directories used by that container are clearly listed in my docker-compose file so I never have to wonder whether I purged everything that is now unnecessary.

It also makes it very easy to deploy a new service.

I’m not the guy you replied to.

I originally stored my music in Plex and used Plexamp. I have a large playlist downloaded from youtube which caused horrible performance issues in Plexamp. Navidrome is pretty much a read-only service. It can only read metadata from the files, not add any or manage them. For me this feels safer to expose to the internet since my docker container only has read-only access to all of my files. Even if someone broke into the service for some reason, they couldn’t do anything to my files.

I don’t know if jellyfin has similar performance issues with large playlists since I already had navidrome set up by then.

I found it a pain in the ass to remove amazon drm ebooks. What worked for one book suddenly didn’t for the next.

Whenever possible I try to avoid them for that reason

I just tried converting that to euro to have a better frame of reference for your 200k. Are those really equivalent to about 8 Euro or did I make a mistake with the conversion?

I just wished they were more relevant in german politics.

It’s the typical dilemma. Vote for a party you know won’t get enough votes to do something or vote for the least bad of the established parties.

If you are into selfhosting you could checkout audiobookshelf which allows you to stream podcasts and audiobooks from your own server and manage their metadata

Wonderful tool. I’ve had mine long enough that the black finish has given way to silver fur to my keys rubbing it off

In regards to getting your music on your phone, there is also the option of setting up a navidrome server or similar and streaming your files to your phone.

Some apps like Symfonium (which is a paid app but I really like it) allow you to download the music to a cache so you can use it on the go without exposing your server to the web. If you do decide to actually stream from it, there is support for auto transcoding to a smaller format so you don’t burn through all your data streaming flac music

The elevator shaft was invented before the elevator. Tom Scott made a video about that

Physical since I carried it over from my old phone which didn’t support eSIM.

I did get an eSIM some time ago for a short vacation in switzerland though. The activation went surprisingly smooth even though I had to wait a day before they verified me. The verification delay was probably because I used a foreign ID to register at a swiss provider for that eSIM.

In a similar fashion, I have a gerber dime on my keychain. Slightly different tool loadout from what I could spontaneously see.

That’s not samsung specific. My xiaomi has that feature too

Maybe he thinks they need to find the app and open it on his phone?

Any recommendations on what to use beside Fusion? I hate that the files created in it are only stored in the cloud while I would like to use git for version management.

(…) manufacturer of SpaceShipTwo, did not consider the possibility of a pilot unlocking the feathering system too soon, and so did not build safeguards to prevent the accident.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me

My notes for the next exam… Before that I was reading the Amaranthe series by G. S. Jennsen. I just finished the first three books which make up a trilogy of their own and don’t want to start the sequel trilogy until exams are over because I have no self control

That’s gotta be a very intense back massage if the dad is sweating like that

How do you get your documents on the device? Is there a syncing mechanism?

Not sure if that’s the correct translation but I think he means an inn. Basically what I understand as a Gasthof is something like a restaurant which also rents out some rooms.

Basically, they enable you to have a different, randomly generated and very long password for each service with minimal impact to your usability.

Personally I use keepassxc with the accompanying browser addon. When I unlock my PC and need a password, I have to enter my master passwort to unlock the database. Afterwards, until I lock my PC again or manually lock the database, I can click on a single button in my browser window to automatically fill out my login information. I do not know any of my passwords beside the master passwort.

I have yet to need the forget password option after switching to a password manager since I can always look up my passwords.
