- Comment on Advice on moving my Spotify library to Navidrome 15 hours ago:
Spotizerr + navidrome + tempo
Spotizerr (fast development, sometimes breaks) will let you download you spotofy playlist. 320kbps too if you have premium. Also, deezer premium accounts are free for 1 month and let you download flac.
Navidrome replace Spotify as streaming server.
Tempo is a good android client. O also love symfonium but its not free (very worth paying for, though).
- Comment on "Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no? 1 day ago:
Well, yes, I would say it’s rude if you have no reason to say no. At least hear them out is usually considered nice.
But…
If the person is clearly wanting to sell something to me, or trick me into something, or take advantage of me (typical in touristic places) I would just say “no thanks” and move on.
- Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy 1 day ago:
So I will stick on Lemmy for the time being. After all I don’t care for down votes, I think votes in general should not be private, because this is like a public plaza what you say is public, and attaching a reputation because of down votes is dangerously bullying and a slippery slope, so piefed doesn’t actually feel like my pie at the moment.
Still maybe I will try a fresh installation just to check it out.
- Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy 1 day ago:
Interested, how do I move an instance from Lemmy to piefed?
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 3 days ago:
Not really reliable, much less than wire guard. If your connection is unstable ssh not the best option. Autossh make it better, but still after a forced disconnection ssh will take a while to drop and reconnect. Wire guard is much better. I moved from ssh+autossh to wireguard and wished I did that sooner.
- Comment on Once you are over 30 we no longer want to go out - we want to be left alone, with a beer/wine, a blanket, tv, and tacos… 3 days ago:
Beg your pardon… After my 40 all I want is good weather and time to go running or cycling or maybe swimming in a lake.
No way would like to spend time drinking alcohol or watching shitty TV.
YMMV.
Fully agree on the I don’t want to go out, meaning social life, too much. Except going out cycling with my sport buddies, ofc
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 3 days ago:
Wire guard to the vps with nftables port forwarding.
Check my wiki here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=networking%3Awiregua…
Or setup ssh with port forwarding as well. Less reliable but nothing to install on a basic Linux.
- Comment on Backup for important files/pictures? 5 days ago:
Rest+backrest and the 3.2.1 rule.
One backup local on an external drive on my server Second backup on another disk connected to a WiFi ap in the house.
Third off site backup copy on my VPS.
All done by rest.
- Comment on Safest CalDAV/CardDAV server 6 days ago:
I use radicale. Safe and solid. Zero php.
You need to install a separate app if you want a web based calendar ui, or you can just use dav5x on android or any other caldav client.

Respect her and her needs. If she doesn’t want, there are good reasons for that.
She is underage, so that also counts maybe?
Maybe she is protecting you, or herself… Can you tell?
- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 1 week ago:
Yes, because there is really no reason to avoid either I can understand having a preference or a dislike for props, but not really to avoid them.
Unless, of course, you clarify why.

Really appreciated the reference!
Good to know my wiki is of any use to somebody.

- Comment on Connect Mini Split to Air Circulator system? 2 weeks ago:
Bet it will cool the ducts down and warm air goes into the rooms…
One split is probably undersized for all those rooms
- Comment on Introducing Calendars, Contacts and Files in Stalwart | Stalwart Labs 2 weeks ago:
I did, we discussed this on an issue and a github discussion. It was still too slow and saturating my low spec machine, no matter which backends I tried to use.
Probably my hardware is just too underpowered.
- Comment on Introducing Calendars, Contacts and Files in Stalwart | Stalwart Labs 2 weeks ago:
Stalwart probably aims a bigger infra than mine, i think that is the point.
- Comment on Introducing Calendars, Contacts and Files in Stalwart | Stalwart Labs 2 weeks ago:
I had to give up on stalwart because on 4gb ram dual core with mechanical HDD the performance for a single account domain was abysmal and after some support back and forth there was no solution.
On the same hardware the good old postfix+dovecot just handles perfectly with 90% spare capacity
Sorry guys, maybe it was time to optimize it a bit before adding more features?
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I did
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 2 weeks ago:
Good to know… Is it a pleasant experience?
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 2 weeks ago:
I respect your choices, but I am afraid modern web is mostly JavaScript. Can you actually browse anything with noscript today?
- Comment on My two cent about emails servers field. Over a two decades... 2 weeks ago:
Don’t agree. Being hosting my email server for 20+ years without issues.
Yes you need to study, no its not difficult at all.
Check wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=email%3Astart it’s really that, and guess what? It works!
So, yes its getting more complicated but its still well at the grasp of a home hoster.
Do you want it as simple as docker compose up? Grab mailcow.
- Comment on Self hosting email, FLOSS, Python ... 2 weeks ago:
See my personal notes. I do selfhost mail server, but on a vps to have a good IP
Being doing so for 20+ years and recently rebuilt the entire stack.
- Comment on Spotify sync web gui 2 weeks ago:
Hey, o didn’t known this, pinned in my bookmarks indeed! Will look into it and try as soon as possible! Ibalso already have slskd installed!
- Comment on Spotify sync web gui 2 weeks ago:
I have that setup… while it kinda works (provided the music you listen to can be found at all on torrents/usenet) its a pain and the playlists are not created, just the artists are synchronized. This is not good when all you listen to is one track from one artist that has 20 albums…
- Comment on The last note taking app you'll ever need 2 weeks ago:
The original android app has been discontinued by the dev for reasons. Another dev picked it up and keep publishing SyncThing fork on FDROID, at least, i get it from fdroid…
- Comment on The last note taking app you'll ever need 2 weeks ago:
When i tried Joplin i was put off by a few issues:
- pretty sluggish UI on all platforms
- not plain markdown: all your files have .md extension but the content is definitely more JSON than MD :)
- synch is cumbersome unless you use sychthing or similar.
It was over 1 year ago,so.
- Comment on The last note taking app you'll ever need 2 weeks ago:
I don’t really get all the hate on the comments. Yes there are tons of note taking alternatives, and yet usually none ever works just perfectly for anybody. More choice is a good thing.
Yes it saves to a database, but it doesnt seems to be encrypted nor “proprietary” or “vendor lock-in” as the notes are, afterall, plain text and can be extracted from a database easily. Is it the best storage for text notes? not in my opinion, but that is not vendor lock-in.
- Comment on Spotify sync web gui 2 weeks ago:
It worked perfectly on my playlist. It seems that if you want to do “bulk” download of entire artists it will hit some issues, but i guess it’s due to spotofy throttling or limiting, in any case it’s working pretyt nicely.
- Comment on Spotify sync web gui 2 weeks ago:
I had zero issues with Spotizerr, maybe because i have premium account? Anyway, this is how i set it up and installed: wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Aspotizerr in case it owuld be usefull for somebody.
Spotizerr create the .m3u file too and Navidrome picked it up immediately, very neat.
- Comment on Spotify sync web gui 2 weeks ago:
I do have navidrome and use Symphony (for which i have also paid, because it’s worth it), but i miss the spotify playlists and ease to use them. I would like to be able to download those in an easy way.
- Comment on Spotify sync web gui 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t tought about that in that way, but put like this i guess its a spotify TOS violation. In that case, should i delete the post?
