  • I tried navidrome but the issue I ran into is that it would not play individual songs or sort through them, it would just play my albums in alphabetical order.

    And I don’t know as far as jelly fin goes, I like it as a video platform but for music I couldn’t get it to just randomly display the songs and let me shuffle through them.

    I’m looking for a music server that can see all of my songs and music and shuffle them and play them. Does anything like that exist?



  • Cheapest TV you can find that has the specs that you are interested in combined with a $50 pawn shop laptop and an inexpensive wireless keyboard and mouse.

    Linux is optional but highly encouraged.

    Connect that to a USB dac which is then piped into an amplifier for 2.0 sound.

    I could probably rig up a subwoofer for a little extra oomph but none of the amplifiers I found at the thrift store have a way to turn off a powered amp or power an unpowered one.



  • I would gladly go to a doctor and have my issues dealt with if I could.

    I have good insurance.

    I have money, although not a lot, but enough to go to the goddamn hospital.

    Every time I go to the hospital with a complaint, they basically told me it’s all in my head and send me on my way without running any diagnostic tests, analyzing the specific issues that I’m talking about, or finding out any more information than whether or not I have insurance.

    Then when it’s all said and done, I get a bill for $1,000.

    This has happened to me the last three times I went to the doctor.

    I have nodules in my throat. I have giant lumps under my skin, my urine smells like maple syrup even though my blood sugar is Rock fucking solid. I have issues with losing weight that aren’t directly related to my diet.

    I have depression, I have skin issues with fucking eczema that do not respond to any over-the-counter treatment. I have a deviated septum. My xiphoid process is literally broken and free-floating in my chest. My coccyx is the size of a fucking grape.

    I have an entire litany of issues and I have told multiple doctors about this in person and asked for help and assistance, and not once has a single doctor ever offered to do so much as draw my fucking blood for a test.

    If I do not DIY my own medicine I cannot receive treatment for any of my issues. No matter how many times I have asked for help, my pleas for help have always been ignored and I’ve been charged $1,000 for them on top of insurance three different times.

    If you know how to fix this where I can get qualified competent medical assistance with my issues before they snowball together and murder me, please tell me how because I cannot solve this.







  • It’s sort of like how you can create a pretty good text message on your phone using voice to text but no courtroom is allowing AI transcription.

    There’s still too much risk that it will capitalize the wrong word or replace a word that’s close to what was said or do something else wholly unconceived of to trust it with our legal process.

    If they could guarantee a 100% accurate transcription of spoken word to text it would put the entire field of Court stenographers out of business and generate tens of millions of dollars worth of digital contracts for the company who can figure it out.

    Not going to do it because even today a phone can’t tell the difference between the word holy and the word holy. (Wholly)



  • I have a 4070 sitting around collecting dust that I got from a trade, I’ve been thinking about setting it up with whispr and TTS and having a way to talk to my house.

    I have a couple of smart home integrations, mostly air conditioning, light switches, security, and doors.

    What I would like would be to have a few speakers on the walls that can talk to my server where I can say something like, hey computer, turn on the lights in the dining room and the lights in the dining room would turn on without transmitting that information to Google or Amazon.



  • The biggest issue I’ve always heard people say when it comes to replacing a video hosting service like YouTube is needing storage space and bandwidth.

    I feel like ipfs, the interplanetary file system, could be leveraged to do this but it would require a concerted effort to make a fast, stable, reliable, and federated YouTube replacement, and I imagine that we would need people to financially support it.
