I used this recently to help a friend with some tech stuff. The docker images were simple to bring up and within minutes we were connected. It freaked him out how easily I could get on and control his PC. I was impressed by the whole experience.

This article taught me the term “Hundred Model War” referring to the crowded AI market in China. Interesting stuff.

Deadlock, and really enjoying it!

I am not a fan of this. I see it all the time at work and it’s very obvious when someone has chatGPT write an email for them (it’s always such a sterile and yet overcomplicated writing style). If it’s a direct email to me, I tend to feel insulted that they couldn’t be bothered to write those 4 paragraphs themselves - it would have taken them 2 mins. There is a definite human disconnect going on in society at the moment, and its worrying.

I looked at it a few months back and it didn’t have the history side of things, just the setup and realtime stats which I’d already got through the CLI. Thanks tho!

Thanks. I think I looked at doing that when setting it up, and it was more expensive in terms of API calls. With a cloud vendor you have to be careful of that, so I opted for the SIZE command.

Rclone. Not because it’s a complicated tool, but because I would like a history of my file transfers and a few graphs to show we what speeds, files sizes and whether the transfer succeeded. At the moment in order to confirm my home backups have succeeded, I have to run a separate size comparisons between my different datastores.

7 Days To Die. It may have taken them 10 years, but the game is pretty solid now. This release has a huge number of quality of life changes, fixes and is extremely performant compared to many previous alphas. Great fun with friends.

If by locally you mean all on the same PC, then absolutely. Anything can be a server. Look into running docker on your PC, and then running a Navidrome container on that. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it’s nothing a YouTube video couldn’t teach you (pay attention to anything about persistent storage). Once you have it running, connect to it with 127.0.0.1:4533 (localhost) using a browser, scan your media, and then connect your clients to it with 127.0.0.1 too. Good luck :)

I have this and use it everyday. I use Beets to give the files metadata (using Musicbrainz and the Discogs plugin as a fallback). I then host Navidrome as a music server and connect it to Last.fm. Once you have all that in place, find a client that does Radio or Instant mixes and it works like a charm. The two clients I use the most for this are SonixD on PC, and Symfonium on Android. If you’re feeling adventurous, then host a VPN at home and connect into your Navidrome server using your phone client, and you have mixes on the go! :)

More often than not, adverts are about brand awareness. You might not buy that car based off that advert right now, but when you do decide to buy a car, you’ll remember that brand name and they become a consideration.

I hate adverts.

I’ll keep it short and sweet.

I’ve been using Manjaro for about 6 years now.

When I had an Nvidia GPU, it would break after quite a few updates and need a rollback.

Then I moved to an AMD card, and I haven’t had any issues at all.

Like…at all.

The End.

Not seen this before, I’ll give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion.

KDE Plasma

Thanks for the suggestion. This does work. You can force the dock to a specific screen, but then it doesn’t autohide (dodge) as it still thinks the other random screen is the primary and only triggers off that. Still, this may be the answer if nobody can suggest an alternative.

I’m 9 hours in now and loving the game. The environment is superbly designed and the puzzle are just on the right side of too difficult.

I would LOVE to see this game in VR. Walking around the megastructures would blow people’s minds.

Saying that, my performance isn’t great, but playable. Let’s hope for some optimisation patches.

I had a similar problem a while back and it turned out to be my Asus motherboard’s “AI” frequency control hard locking the system. Took me days of troubleshooting and headaches to figure this out. Ended up switching it off in BIOS and everything is stable now. Just my 2c.

I was in your position a few years back. I missed MediaMonkey when shifting to Linux.

I found Tauon media player was a pretty solid replacement for playing local and network files, but ultimately settled on running Navidrome server and Feishin as a desktop client. I haven’t looked back.

For organising your collection, I’d look at using either Musicbrainz Picard (GUI based) or Beets (CLI, and it’s a little complicated at first). I generally use Beets with Musicbrainz database, and the Discog plugin for anything not found by MB.

I haven’t found anything that is a complete package like MediaMonkey, but with a bit of effort and once the parts are set up, it’s so much better.
