  Not sure yet. They did say they were small so probably nothing too egregious, I’d imagine a contact damage nerf if anything.

  Splinter is an odd choice to update at all but w/e, Moorwing I felt was tough but fair and really forces the player to learn the fundamentals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Silksong] Patch Version 1.0.28497 Now Live⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Really don’t think the boss nerfs were warranted at all but the environmental damage change is very welcome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  HK can be trivialized pretty early on by stacking charms and upgrades. Silksong spaces out meaningful upgrades in a way that really forces you to learn the ins and outs of the game before you can start buildcrafting.

  FWIW, all the final bosses are easier than HK’s true final boss. The difficulty scaling starts with a rough curve but evens out over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly it. I think the game is a goddamn masterpiece. The most infuriating fights feel like huge accomplishments, not just relief. Phenomenal game all around, but that difficulty curve isn’t for everyone. I can say the same about any Soulsborne game, love them to death but it’s definitely too much for some folks. Difficulty options are a good thing, if a compromise has to be made just have it disable achievements or w/e.

  The only games I’m remotely interested for it are DK and that FromSoft game. I’m not buying a new console from Nintendo of all companies just to gather dust aside from one game a year tops. I’ll wait for the emulation scene to do its thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the game’s definitely harder than HK was, but by no means impossible. It’s not nearly as difficult as say Elden Ring for a recent-ish example.

  None of the runbacks are egregious either. There’s just about always a bench barely 30-40 seconds away at absolute most.

  Good shout! Admittedly I’ve been happy with Symfonium so I haven’t looked into FOSS alternatives but this looks really good. When I get a chance I’ll add it to the writeup for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s something I’ve struggled to find so far unfortunately. Maybe something exists but I haven’t found an answer yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a bit over my own head as I’ve only been dabbling with it recently, but so far from what I’ve found that seems to be the case.

  You can get creative with the Rules, but that’s always accepting a level of risk. Like to get Beszel and Komodo Periphery working on my VPS, I technically expose some services, but I keep Pangolin’s auth enabled and use the rules to restrict it to certain paths and only my own public IP (1. Allow: my IP, 2. Always deny 0.0.0.0/0).

  I really need to get into a better habit of waiting for their friday events lmao, but yeah that’s where I get most of mine from as well. Otherwise, sometimes a physical record comes with a download slip or w/e, or I’ll just go find a download for something I already physically own. But for purchasing digital, Bandcamp is king right now, and I’m definitely interested in other options that are out there too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At least from my understanding (specifically for Navidrome here), there’s no way to differentiate which user owns which track/album if they’re in the same location. Navidrome’s multilibrary configuration is basically just telling it “hey this folder is this library, that folder is that library”. A combined single folder is perfectly fine if users are fine with that, but in my use case my wife and I have dramatically different tastes so it makes more sense to separate it all out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s nuts LOL. I’m not sure how I clutched out the radiant boss clears but couldn’t handle the binding pantheons, I tried dusting it off this week and I’m definitely way too rusty now. Maybe I’ll revisit it after Silksong

  Y e p. It’s a nightmare tbh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Appreciate it! I literally just slapped it together just for this post LOL but I’ll probably start using it some more, kinda therapeutic in a way. The assets are all recycled from my streaming days, may as well still get some use out of em

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I made a note about that, but you’re right I should make it more apparent. I did use the blampe/hearring-aid build here which solves the issue for the short term, but I’ll add a clearer note to futureproof it for when the main builds are fixed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And tbh since OP said they’re generally more into Soulslikes and such, Silksong comes out in 2 days for $20

  This is what happened to me too when it came out. Tried like 3 times, couldn’t get it into it. Next thing I knew I was doing any% speedruns, earned all achievements, and cleared all radiant bosses. The only thing I haven’t done in that game was the pantheons with all bindings, those are insane lmao

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSP games that are enjoyable without the nostalgia-factor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every Yakuza fan should play Kurohyou 1 and 2. The fan translations are a big rough but overall the games are fully playable (minus some hostesses in K2 which only matters if you’re going for full completion, and you can just power through it with the same save file in the Japanese rom)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you use for music library streaming?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is gonna get a bit into my particular setup but sure

  Explo’s a super early in development “discover weekly” generator, relies on Listenbrainz scrobbling and runs on a cron job to download the playlist from your connected source (in my case slskd), put it in a folder, and create a Navidrome playlist out of it. I use the SLSKD_MIGRATE option (my feedback is actually the reason the dev even added it), so my files are downloaded to my slskd dir and explo moves them to a separate library.

  I’m very particular about my library though so I don’t want it just throwing everything into the same folder as the rest of my music, and I have 2 users, so my directories are like:

  /music/me /music/wife /discover/me /discover/wife

  Keeping the discover folders for Explo completely outside the main library, but mounted in Navidrome as additional libraries, helps keep things very separate.

  I run 2 Explo instances, 2 hours apart, and in between those runs I have another cron job that wipes out my slskd downloads directory for a clean slate.

  One small catch I ran into: Explo needs a Navidrome admin account to kick off the library scan, but my users aren’t admins (since an admin automatically has access to every single library). So each week when it runs I need to log in as an admin and re-assign each playlist accordingly. Not a big deal, and the dev already has some ideas in mind to address this in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you use for music library streaming?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep! They released it like a week after I just set up a second instance lmao

  The only catch I noticed is that the default “/music” library can’t be changed, so I set up my directories in the container like:

  • user1/music
  • user1/discover
  • user2/music
  • user2/discover

  All 4 are set up as separate libraries, and I keep "/music/ in the container mounted to an empty directory. The discover folders are populated when Explo runs each week, that’s a whole project of its own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you use for music library streaming?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Navidrome even supports multiple libraries now. I was using 2 instances for a bit for my wife and I, but now it’s all in one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you use for music library streaming?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in the middle of writing up a novel about my music stack since I’ve just about gotten it exactly where I want it. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here and it’s difficult to really replicate the behavior of major streaming services.

  The short version of what I have set up:

  • Backend: Navidrome

  • Frontends: Feishin (both desktop and hosted) and Symfonium

  • Remote access: Pangolin (this does involve keeping a Navidrome rest endpoint totally exposed so Tailscale/Netbird/Wireguard are fine too, but I wanted to be sure my wife can access it from her work PC in the office)

  Library and metadata management: Lidarr, beets, and metadata-remote. Lidarr does the bulk (one instance per user/library), beets handles manual imports, and MDRM is for fine-tuning and really obscure stuff

  Searching/Downloading: Lidarr + Tubifarry + slskd. Also support smaller artists as much as possible, bandcamp purchases and merch and whatever go a long way.

  Discovery: Explo

  Oh this is the first I’m hearing of this one. I’m liking OpenCloud so far but the setup process and bizarre OIDC implementation don’t leave me too confident in it. I’ll keep an eye on this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Started hosting my own Nextcloud and its awesome!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s definitely a bit of a behemoth, and the dated php codebase doesn’t really help either. I set up OpenCloud last week and aside from the struggle getting it working with a single compose and Authentik for OIDC, it’s been exactly what I’ve been looking for. Simpler, faster, and only does the things I need it to do.

  His replacement’s not much better. Lots of mixed sentiment from past employees, and even though he did acknowledge it with a joke, the “overdelivery” thing is such a red flag to carry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your fav guide/method for securing Jellyfin?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pangolin with an Authentik login required. Jellyfin’s set up with OIDC too but that’s more for convenience than security (especially since password auth doesn’t seem possible to disable, so it’s just hidden with CSS which does jack shit for security).

  I’m paranoid so I only expose 3 services total without Pangolin/Authentik in front of them: Authentik itself, headscale, and navidrome’s rest endpoint (the last one skeeves me a bit but it’s mandatory for it to work remotely in the situations I want it, like a web player on work machines). Anything else I personally need remote access to, I can get through tailscale - Pangolin for me covers friends and family usage and a few niche situations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting Sunday - What's up to date, selfhosters?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve mostly got this working but no matter what I do I can’t get UDP and direct connections working if the embedded derp server is enabled (and the only accessible relay).

  Speeds were slow at first but it’s been fine lately so I’m not sweating over it too much, but it’d be nice to get that last piece working.
