  • Do any of you know another solution to stream audio from my phone to my server

    I use snapcast throughout my house and devices, but there’s no snap_server_ for Android.

    I’ve been meaning to try roc, for which there is an Android client that will both play and serve.

    Sonobus also claims to be many:many; I haven’t tried it either and it doesn’t look particularly active.

    I don’t use UPnP or DLNA because of the security issues, so I can’t offer a suggestion about that. I thought DLNA was a pull oriented protocol - like, to send music from your phone you’d have to select and play on your computer with a DLNA client. Can you push media with DLNA?












  • Shamelessly shilling my OSS project, rook. It provides a secret-server-ish headless tool backed by a KeePass DB.

    • Headless server
    • Optional and convenient integration with the kernel keyring (on Linux), for locking the server to only provide secrets to the user’s session
    • Provides a range of search, list, and get commands
    • Minimal dependencies and small code base make rook reasonably auditable

    You might be interested in rook if you’re a KeePassXC user. Why might you want this instead of:

    • Gnome secret-server, KDEs wallet, or pass? rook uses your (a) KeePass DB, while most other projects store secrets in their own DBs and require (usually manual) sync’ing when passwords change.
    • One of the browser secret storage? Those also keep a bespoke DB which needs to be synced, and they’re limited to browser use. Rook supports using secrets in cron jobs or on the command line (e.g. mbsync, vdirsyncer, msmtp, etc, etc).
    • KeePassXC? KeePassXC does provide a secret service that mocks Gnome secret-service, but you have to keep KeePassXC (a GUI app) running even if you only rarely use the UI. Rook can also be used on a headless machine.
    • The KeePassXC command line tool? That requires entering the password for every request, making it tedious to use and impractical for automated, periodic jobs.

    Rook is read-only, and intended to be complementary to KeePassXC. The KeePassXC command line tools are just fine for editing, where providing a password for every action is acceptable, and of course the GUI is quite nice for CRUD.






  • I think there are several servers that don’t try to match any particular dominant player.

    It’s really down to the follow-person or follow-community model. AP supports both, but I’ve seen few servers or clients that support both. Which should be possible; it’s something that frequently annoys me about every Lemmy client I’ve tried: sometimes, there are people I’d like to follow, and get everything they post, regardless of community, in my feed.


  • I have a GoToSocial server, which is pure AP, not Mastodon. Misskey is still a microblogging platform, right? One of the people I interacted with a lot when I was trying it ran a Misskey server, and she used it like a microblogging tool.

    It’s the modality of it. There’s a category of servers that follow the Twitter model: people follow people, and posts are usually short and frequent throughout the day. Then there’s the Reddit model: people join communities, and tend to do more periodic binge browsing.

    Misskey - as I understand it - is a follow-the-person, shorter post model; the Twitter model. Lemmy models after Reddit.

    I prefer the community model.
