  I use Jellyfin but I download all my songs from Tidal, Qobuz or Deezer and tag them automatically right then and there in a clean format so Jellyfin does not have to guess at all.

  I also have some automatic checks in place to convert incorrect metadata to a proper format. Like moving artists from the title (feat. Somebody else) to the artists tag Somebody; Somebody else and a bunch more.

  Together with Finamp on desktop and mobile everything is pretty much working as expected.

  Do you play solo? I tried twice in coop but after some time my coop partners always lose interest.

  Thought about trying to do it solo but not sure if it’s as fun alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone tried cloud gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m running this on a 7900 XTX with 32GB RAM. No issues so far. According to their instructions, Nvidia is a little bit more involved but it should perform the same on consumer or pro GPUs.

  I assume decause it’s using Docker, the more RAM the better.

  Docker has pretty much no overhead, so you only need enough RAM to run the games/sessions you want to run in addition to your regular desktop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone tried cloud gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t do the same thing: Sunshine is intended to stream a single physical desktop.

  Games on Whales runs headlessly and creates virtual desktops for each session in a Docker environment.

  For example, you can create an instance that runs at 800p so you can stream to your Steam Deck at its native resolution. You can even still use your desktop normally since the streams run in the background.

  Both of them support connection via Moonlight.

  Games on Whales has worked really well for me: games-on-whales.github.io

  That’s good timing because I just played through The Dark Ages and Eternal is still my favorite.

  They are some of my favorite shooters, so definitely give them a go. 2016 and Eternal also go on sale quite frequently for a few bucks.

  They play quite differently by the way. So in case you don’t like one, try the other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have sinned and got Doom: The Dark Ages for 40 bucks so I can rip & tear a little bit.

  Did not like the parry mechanic at first but it’s starting to grow on me. Also, can’t really recommend the game if you don’t have a high end PC.

  If it’s for C#, I’m doing pretty well with VSCode/VSCodium on Linux.

  WPF and Forms does not work but I also have a Rider license from work which I use occasionally to maintain one of our old WPF applications, which we converted to Avalonia XPF. It works great and we now also have a Mac and Linux version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved my Lumia 1520, but it just doesn’t hold a candle to a modern Android phone with LineageOS installed. Both in functionality and in privacy.

  Anyone wanna yell at me for being an idiot and doing everything wrong?

  Not yell, but: Jellyfin is dropping HTTPS support with a future update so you might want to read up on reverse proxies before then.

  Additionally, you might want to check if Shodan has your Jellyfin instance listed: www.shodan.io

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Jellyfin with Finamp on Android/PC and the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi on my HTPC.

  The Jellyfin plugin does movies/shows too and not just music but it handles music playback as well. For a dedicated music box I’m not sure if I would use Kodi for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The first paragraphs on endof10.org tell you why you should install Linux followed by telling you how to get in touch with someone who can explain things to you and even install it for you. Most of them do it free of charge. I’m not sure how you can improve on that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depending on which services you want to replace, Nextcloud might also be worth a look. There are quite a few hosted options available by Hetzner and others.

  Is it still possible to see those generated summaries somewhere? Would like to see what their model outputs for some articles, especially compared to the human written lead-in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Next Fest has started once again. What good demos have you found?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks like a lot of the complaining is about how it’s not like Patapon?

  Most of it, but not all of it.

  I played a little bit of the demo and was excited for a Patapon clone but it felt…off?

  My main issues with it:

  • Moving your own character does not really add anything to the game
  • It’s really easy for the music to sound off-beat by narrowly missing the timing
  • The metronome was replaced by a fixed Guitar Hero-like note display
  • There is too much going on at times, mostly due to the more complex art style
  • The beat between enemies and yourself does not match, making it impossible to counter some attacks
  • You cannot cancel the beat by failing on purpose; If you fail, you have to wait until you can input the next command

  I really hope they can improve things but right now I don’t really enjoy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can install an application like Flatseal (flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) to inspect the permissions for a flatpak.

  How locked down a flatpak is depends entirely on the developer and what permissions they request. By default, they can’t really see much. For example, they can’t even see the processes running on your host or your user and system files.

  Flatpak does not do anything about network access though, it can only do no access or full access, no in between. The data they can collect on Linux in a Flatpak is very limited but it does not prevent them from calling home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They went pretty fast with performance improvements after launch and the first major update. There was a larger gap with the last update because they bought their publishing rights back and had to wait for all the legal stuff to settle.

  So far they had one large update which added end-game content and another large update with a major balancing overhaul, which also reset character progress.

  HLTB currently sets the game at 12.5 hours for the main story and 24 hours for main + side quests.

  I’m planning to play it once co-op releases, the game seems to be in a good state and has enough content for me.

  Yep, old ChatGPT was much more blunt and factual.

  Don’t really like the recent trend of every LLM talking to me like I’m in kindergarten.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher III is currently on sale for 3€ until 25th May⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t have to re-add the game but I think you have to start Heroic itself from time to time to check for updates.

  Back feeding is legal here if it is connected to a micro inverter which can turn off immediately when disconnected and never outputs more than 800W.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack overflow is almost dead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ChatGPT won’t humiliate you for asking a question that someone else has already asked.

  I don’t know, being told what a good question that was and what a good boy I am everytime I ask a stupid question feels pretty humiliating.

  (Still better than SO)
