They are already tagged as explicit/clean in the metadata as well as separated by folder with an [E] tag if explicit. I could manually rematch them but my library is large so I’d really rather not
- Comment on Selfhosted alternative to Spotify 4 weeks ago:
I like Plexamp but there’s a couple of things to be aware of depending on your music library that took me a while to figure out:
- They downsample anything above 48kHz which isn’t a big deal but sucks if you have hi-res music. It won’t even tell you it’s transcoding if you check the dashboard and Plexamp will show it as playing at the actual sample rate which is misleading when trying to debug.
- It doesn’t distinguish between explicit and clean versions so if you have both then it will just look like duplicates. You also can’t favorite just the clean or explicit version as favoriting one will do the same for both versions.
- They don’t support Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos(E-AC-3) music. Doesn’t matter if they are m4a or flac. Again, nothing about transcoding in the dashboard but the sound will be horrible. It does at least show in Plexamp that the song is playing as Opus. I know everyone says multichannel music isn’t worth it, but I wanted to try it out and was very disappointed when Plexamp wouldn’t play them.
These probably aren’t issues to the majority of users with just their favorite songs in mp3 or flac 16-44, but it’s something for people with larger hi-res/multichannel libraries to be aware of that I recently learned.

I actually didn’t know that about addressing before your comment and so I found it very interesting, thanks
- Comment on Using Ubuntu may give off a hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect. 6 months ago:
Ubuntu was my first Linux desktop distro and I’ve been using it for 4ish years. I really liked it but I no longer feel like I can trust canonical after the whole ‘secretly install Firefox snap when installed with apt cli’ thing. It wouldn’t have even been a big deal if they just said it was only available as a snap but the execution pissed me off to the point of switching

Yes it looks like it is included in the official docker image

Ya that just sounds like good practice for internal services.
@Kethal@lemmy.world Maybe see if you can use a FIDO2 device like yubikey for 2fa
- Comment on I7-14700 and Asrock z690 extreme - can't figure out PCIE passthrogh 8 months ago:
It looks like it should be possible as both your cpu and motherboard support Intel VT-d

PCIe pass through isn’t enabled by default in Proxmox and requires some manual changes to the bootloader (grub or systemd-boot) as well as loading some kernel modules. You may also need to enable VT-d in your BIOS. You can read proxmox’ guide for enabling PCIe pass through here:

Thanks for the info! Looks pretty cool I’ll have to check it out

This is the first time I’ve heard of Victoria Metrics. It looks like it has a similar use case as Prometheus, is that correct? If so, what made you or your team choose one over the other?

You can always do both and expose some services outside your network and keep the others local only while still being able to access them yourself with a vpn.

Its more likely that they are required to have insurance that would cover ransomware due to the sensitive information they have on patients

I haven’t tried any of them but I did just listen to a podcast the other week where they talk about LlamaGPT vs Ollama and other related tools. If you’re interested it’s episode 540: Uncensored AI on Linux by Linux Unplugged

I thought it was great in terms of listing examples for common use cases and I appreciated that the commands could be altered and ran interactively.

- Comment on Selfhosted Trello Alternative? 1 year ago:
Looks like the docker images built by mattermost are only for amd64 architecture . You could try an image built by someone else such as this one that seems to be regularly updated. I haven’t used any of them though so I would look through the repo/dockerfiles before deploying any unofficial images.
- Comment on Qestions about eSATA vs USB3.0 for a drive enclosure connected to Proxmox 1 year ago:
Thanks, I may hold off on ceph for now in that case
- Comment on Qestions about eSATA vs USB3.0 for a drive enclosure connected to Proxmox 1 year ago:
Unfortunately the drives in the enclosure are 3.5. I do have a spare SATA spot in each of the 7040s but you can only fit 1 SATA drive in the 3040s and no m2 drives. That’s why I am trying to decide whether it would be better to sacrifice a SATA port on one of the 7040s for (hopefully) better speeds and stability or use USB and put an extra drive in each of the 7040s
- Comment on Qestions about eSATA vs USB3.0 for a drive enclosure connected to Proxmox 1 year ago:
Ok thanks and ya I plan to upgrade to something better suited for the job at some point. I just want to get started and use what I have as efficiently as I can.
- Comment on Qestions about eSATA vs USB3.0 for a drive enclosure connected to Proxmox 1 year ago:
Ya I realize this isn’t a great way to go about storage but I already have the enclosure so I might as well use it for now. At some point down the line I will build something that will work better.
If I connect it using USB I am able to see each drive individually in Proxmox. I am unsure if it will be the same if I use eSATA. In the manual it says that the eSATA interface card needs to support Port Multiplier which I fear means the eSATA to SATA option may not work but I was hoping someone here may know more about that.
If I have to go the USB route and I am able to use each drive individually, would you recommend going with a ZFS pool or ceph?
