  The way you write tells me you are young.

  The older you get (and having a family of your own) the more you enjoy the quiet moments, just like the ones when you sit in an airport, waiting for the plane.

  It’s really feels like a weight has lifted from your shoulders.

  Yeah, fucking sheep!

  I also thought about those scenes in Wally when I was walking the dog the other day. Soon all of us will float around in armchairs and never step outside.

  Welcome to the new world.

  Even Picard gets some metadata wrong on auto. Don’t trust it blindly.

  Be careful and only do changes manually.

  Key features:

  • Schedule for nine social media platforms (Threads, Pinterest, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Dribbble, YouTube, Instagram.)

  • Fundamental analytics for almost all social media platforms.

  • AI Features: Copilots, AI Auto-complete, Canva-like editor.

  Sorry to budge in like this, but I don’t use any of these garbage social platforms, at all. Copilot is also strongly against my belief of the right to privacy online.

  The reason why I started to selfhost and use opensource apps/OS, was to get away from all this nonsense.

  Lemmy is the only platform I use, used to be on reddit, because the main purpose is to help or to get help/advise on issues.

  I’m a firm believer that social platforms are destroying generations with its toxic environments.

  Rant over.

  Shower me with downvotes if you believe I’m wrong.

  Personally I use gonic with the Subsonic API, and Ultrasonic on Android.

  Gonic is a super lightweight subsonic API server with a very basic static stats “dashboard”. As so, it’s great for lower end devices. Only problem is that it sometimes fails to pick up the album art is some cases, if that don’t disturb you, then it’s great.

  Airsonic (abandonedware) is the best subsonic server in my option. It displays all album arts correctly and is folder based which works much better than Navidrome’s Id tag reader, which is a dumpster fire.

  Airsonic is on the heavier side on ram usage, around 1GB. Can probably run just fine on 500mb. Probably around what Jellyfin uses.

  Ultrasonic is a great android app. It is just not updated for quite some time now.

  I’m also running Jellyfin and I’ll experiment with Finamp. Let’s see if it takes the number one spot from Ultrasonic :)

  Shit!

  I came here to say AI, which I’m not allowed to.
