- Comment on Navidrome repost: Heads-up: the next release changes all internal IDs 12 hours ago:
Question: Is there a hard limit for playlists? Reason being, I have a rather large collection I have converted from the physical media to flac. I have a playlist that is edging 100k songs. When I try to play it in the Navidrome UI, it takes at least 5+ minutes to even begin to play, and then forwarding to another song is neigh impossible. I can play other playlists smaller than that in the UI. Feishin, which is indirectly routed through Cloudflare, and not taping the local IP of the server, has no issues playing the playlist in question. Substreamer, iOS, has no problem either.
Specs:
Optiplex 7020 i7-49790 32 GB RAM
…which seems like it would be sufficient.

Shit I deleted my post. Yes I have been enjoying some greenery so you just have to hear me out. I have an old countertop ice maker that stripped it’s gears. The refrigeration loop is fine. Pretty wild how small it is. I was wondering…what if I provisioned some brackets on which to mount a muffin fan of unknown CFM, to blow across the coils thru several sheets of mesh of varying gauges to collect moisture drained off to an unknown location, and duct that indirectly into the computer, like a miniature Liebert server room cooling unit. I worry about the moisture tho. Constructing a desiccant wheel seems improbable. I could reheat the cool air upstream or mix warmer air in with the stream to keep the so the outlet air doesn’t stay at a very low dew point and “rewet” downstream components. Perhaps with a small filament heat coil. HMMmmmmm

Hybrid (CPU + GPU) inference is where it’s at these days. It opens up a whole world of huge MoE models, whereas on an 5090 you are stuck with Qwen 27B.
Why you do this to me? LOL Injecting your options. But seriously thank you for the advice. I’m really green in the AI arena. So I’m trying to feel my way around, trying not to spend money on equipment I’ll regret later.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 3 days ago:
Be aware that you pay a significant performance penalty for going over occulink.
And that’s why it’s tentative. The reason I’m leaning towards the dock is that, while the 5090 will fit, physically in the case, I am worried about heat dissipation. Even now, when I fire up a moderate model and run it through some paces, I can see the temps rising fairly quickly. So, if I’m going to drop that kind of cabbage on a 5090, the one thing I don’t want to do is watch it turn into a shrink-i-dink.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 3 days ago:
LOL Not quite, however, I am choking on the 5090 but as I understand, that’s the better option, and 32 GB seems to be the sweetspot for AI.

Well, let’s see…nothing really new on the server. Still waiting for something interesting besides *.arr. I did provision a new tower with the following specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
- GPU: ASUS ROG RX 580
- RAM: Came with 32 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 / dropped another 96 GB in it.
- SSD: WD Black NVMe M.2 iirc it’s about a 1tb
- Asus motherboard
- Working on acquiring a GeForce RTX 5090 32GB GDDR7 mounted on a OCuLink external dock (tentative - may change)
- Comment on Is this a good first homeserver? 3 days ago:
Your server looks fabulous, and I’m not discouraging you from pursuing it in the least. However, if I may draw from my own personal experience and what I am currently running, it may give you some ideas. Currently, I am running 53 containers on a Optiplex 7020 SFF with the i7-4790 and 32 GB RAM. Just checked and it’s load average at this moment is: 0.47, 0.60, 0.73. Meaning it’s pretty much in an idle state except for logging in just now. Grand total cost was less than $200. It consumes about $8 USD/month.
Unless you’re going to get into selfhosting heavy AI models, most stock PC, office discards, etc built in the last 10 years will do just fine for a homelab, with a little love like some additional RAM or a dual nic card. Immich and Nextcloud will probably require a bit more than 16 GB RAM running together. I don’t run Immich, but I do run Nextcloud and it does just fine with the above set up. No lags, stutters, etc.

I mean…I just don’t understand the disconnect. Dev toils and sweats over a app. Dev gives it away for free as opensource. User: @#$%@$$# <insert foot stomping and pouty lip> Fuck that noise.

Audiomuse-AI looks interesting imo
If you decide to deploy Navidrome, there is an Audiomuse-AI plugin for it as well.

I fully disagree with your comment. Frankly your attitude sucks. I will not bother any more attempting to help, rest assured. You missed an opportunity to improve your documentation, on this page:
See, this is why I’d never publish an app. I have long since lost my patience.

I’m a bit skeptical. How does that work and how long have you been using it. Have you noticed any weird noise on your firewall?

I really like those big cases. Lots of room for expansion and cooling I’ve got an old CoolerMaster Cosmos II.

I took the bottom rails and put casters on it. It’s huge and hard to move around. Stands about 30" tall.

About the only thing I have in that range would be an old Connor CP30174E from the 90’s. It doesn’t get any use tho. I framed in in a shadow box for display along with some other drives that I disassembled and display as a curio. I just think they’re neat.

- Comment on Navidrome can do lyrics now - but how? 5 days ago:
With the update I’ve added this Navidrome lyrics plugin, but I’ve not really tested it yet. I’ve been using lrcget to locate and add lyrics before this update.
I love the fact that they have really opened up Navidrome to use plugins, and it seems the community is starting to produce some pretty decent examples.
- Comment on Navidrome can do lyrics now - but how? 5 days ago:
Hmmmm…Navidrome has supported lyrics for a while now, no? Apps like Feishin will fetch lyrics for you based on the song being played, if it’s available that is. But it doesn’t embed them, to my knowledge. However, since I still have a stripped down Windows 10 installation, I used MusicBee to embed the lyrics. Highlight the library, and let it eat. If your library is large, it will take some time. When finished, the lyrics will be embedded in the audio file, and will display in Feishin and in Navidrome.
I know that beets has a lyric plugin, and that might be an avenue for you OP. However, in my case, I started with MusicBee so very long ago, and it’s still a top notch player imho, even tho it is a Windows app.
