I started working on a hobby project recently to meld the utility of Beets with a music and podcast streaming service, like Subsonic. I’m developing this with a contract-first approach, and so far I’ve gotten most of the podcast management code in place, but I’ve not started working on the frontend outside of integrating a skeleton project into build process. I’ll add a note to look into supporting webdav data sources directly.

I plan on doing another big dev push around Christmas, so hopefully I’ll have an MVP app to show off around that time. The frontend is a basic vite/react base and the backend is Spring Boot with Kotlin. I’ll be looking for some contributors for the mobile app side within the next few months.

Reminder that guns don’t just “go off” and anyone that suggests this should be disregarded as the nincompoop they very clearly are.

This is like the Oliver Stone science meme kind of fact.

A lot of low information mouthpieces have trouble understanding data, and it’s probably even more difficult with the PPB boot in their mouths. Many of them still say we’ve defunded the police since they haven’t actually bothered to apprise themselves of the city budgets or how they are delineated, ever.

You rip them and provide them to a community that will then re-dub them into something fun. Hilarity ensues.

This was a great video. I’ve done nothing in Godot yet but I watched the video all the way through and I’m super motivated to try it out this week. Perfect timing as I’ve been wanting to pick it up and start learning how to build games.

That is probably true, however, I personally use it to share with others who are not part of my network, calendar integration, password database access across many devices, rsync backups across *many devices, document editing via Collabora and probably other things I’m not thinking about at the moment. I don’t have the performance issues that others note, but I took all of the performance improvement steps noted in the documentation: have bare metal well-resourced db hosts (for multiple services), dedicated redis cache, properly configured php-fpm, etc.

Nextcloud is good at general cloud features. It’s not specialized in photo management. If you’re storing memes or cell phone pictures it’s fine, but if you use an actual camera that uses a RAW format, you’re much better off using Immich.
