LMS seems to have the best potential as a SubSonic-compatible server. Simple, fast, seems to work. The web player is missing gapless playback and the replaygain support it has doesn't do EBU R128, but this could potentially be done in a SubSonic compatible client.

However, my first attempt at logging in with my first test app, SubStreamer on iOS, indicates its API isn't fully compatible and it errors... :rolleyes:

edit: it's also not filling in album/artist artwork... grrrr

@rude I don't see an option for this, only whether or not Musicbrainz and/or AudioDB are enabled. Nothing seems to indicate there's an option to exclusively use local metadata; it just seems to ignore some of the local metadata completely for some reason.

I twiddled some more settings, try to force refresh on some albums/artists, nothing happens.

I'm aware that Musicbrainz has been suffering under heavy load lately and API calls time out so I'll be patient but this is just not looking very good 🫠

Rossmann is doing the work of God.

The recent data center outage surfaced the shocking reality of one adjustable bed manufacturer collecting 60 gigabytes of data per month per bed. Pretty insane data collection for a bed(!?)

Nest collects a mere 50 Mb, it’s still spyware. Rossmann goes on to inform us even though the device services have been discontinued, the device still uploads 50 MB of data a day to google.

@vancura co přesně tě zajímá? Dovezl jsem to včera večer a zatím jsem se věnoval především instalaci systému a přesunu aplikací a dat, takže jsem to z pohledu provozních vlastností zatím moc nezkoumal. S monitorem si rozumí, FreeSync jede, výkon to má taky odpovídající (i když od toho nečekám zázraky, je to přece jenom midrange). Na straně softwaru jsem zatím nenarazil na žádný problém, ale můžu hodnotit jen zkušenost na Linuxu, Windows šly hned pryč.

> But even with all their skills, they can only see the so-called "on-chain" trades.

If it's not on-chain, this is even easier to investigate. Go get their private databases they use for their order books.

but also I wish our elected representatives cared even a fraction as much about the criminal activity happening on the stock market which is the same thing happening here, but significantly bigger. Nobody cares about dark pools, how they're front running retail trades stealing from regular Americans, ladder attacks to manipulate prices... all of Citadel... trillions of fraud over decades swept under the rug

I think the Mona people are making the same mistake the voice dream reader folks made, which is announcing the new product/payment system without a FAQ or other documents which outlines the process, how much it will cost, what things are supported, and what will happen to the old app. I'm like Lynn, I paid for Mona Pro, I have no problem paying for an app, i don't want to pay for AI, because I don't use it, I am really happy with Mona, and hope they keep supporting this current app, but frankly, if they stop supporting it, and it becomes obsolete, and my only choice is to buy new Mona and pay again, or switch to Toot which I've already paid for and which is continuing to be supported, I'm not going to pay for Mona again.
in reply to The Witchy Bitches

Yeah, that. I think Mona was and is well worth my money. But if my choice is to pay again simply because someone wants to shove AI down my throat without anything else useful, or switch to another app, then honestly, I'll likely switch to something else. I'm not going to dump money on something I won't even use. It's not about paying for stuff for me, if something is useful to me, I'll gladly pay for it. What I won't do is drop money on something useless to me, something I've already fairly paid for, or something I outright dislike. I don't need AI in my mastodon app, and if I have to pay to continue using Mona simply because someone decided I need more AI immediately, then I just won't do it. I have better things my money could go to.

Komplete users: I haven't set up Komplete Kontrol from scratch for a long time. I just downloaded every plugin I owned and squished them onto a secondary SSD in this new machine. And now, if I try to add the KK plugin and hit the browser button, I get the "file types" selector, and no results at all after that.
Is there a really basic thing I've forgotten to do? Does Reaper need to be able to see all the plug-ins if I want to actually use them?

I changed a lightbulb today!

And this makes me happy to be living in the future, because I think the last time I did this was 3-4 years ago.

When I was growing up, replacing bulbs was something that we did at least once a week.

When I moved into a shared house as a student, we were replacing at least one bulb a month. Around then, CFL subsidies came in and the cost of a CFL dropped to about the same price as one month's power consumption for an incandescent bulb, so we replaced all of them, and then didn't change a single bulb for the next two years I was in that house. The next house (which I lived in for around 5 years) also used CFLs and they would gradually have lower peak brightness so would get moved around to places that didn't need as much light.

We have LEDs here now, and they don't seem to fade. I think this is the first one to fail in 8 years (we did bring some older CFLs, which gradually died and were replaced). I'll see if this is a pattern (do they all fail after 8ish years, or was this an outlier?).

Hello everyone!

Here's version 0.20.2 of #GoToSocial; it's another bugfix release!

codeberg.org/superseriousbusin…

If you're updating to this version from v0.20.0 or v0.20.1, it's a very easy update with no db migrations.

If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.20.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.20.0, but replace 0.20.0 with 0.20.2 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.20.x contains some potentially very long migrations. Please do read the notes carefully!

Release highlights:

  • Roll back to using name property instead of summary for alt text (for now anyway), due to compatibility issues with *oma, *key, and Iceshrimp.
  • Stub authorize_interaction to avoid surprising 404 when trying to do a remote interaction.
  • Fix issue that was causing emojis not to download properly.
  • Add optional build tags for reduced binary size.
  • Fix some swagger docs issues.
  • Various other fixes + performance tweaks.
  • Dependency bumps.

Thanks for reading! Have a good week!

We just released our biggest (and most beautiful) update ever. The new version fully embraces Liquid Glass and comes with a ton of enhancements, fixes and meaningful changes.

The update is available now, and it’s so big that we couldn’t fit all the fixes and changes into the App Store’s text field. You can still find the full release notes on our website:

ulysses.app/release-notes/

Oh, and it’s really beautiful. Happy release day, everybody!
