Never heard of this. But even if you could connect to them, how would you cool it?

Edit: never mind, that’s exactly what the article is about.

There is also Morphe, which is fine for me.

Luxury Sport Utility Vehicle

😂🤣 Brighten my whole day.

If I had a nickel for every time that song came up on Lemmy this week, I’d have two nickels, which is not a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

You might be interested in Rush, which detects music from your “now playing” and displays the lyrics beautifully. Then you can use whatever local player you like for your library and have great lyrics experience regardless.

If you end up setting up a home server with navidrome or similar, Chora has the best lyrics search and display. The website also mentions local playback, so it may meet your need, although I’ve never used it that way.

It’s been a while since I’ve used a local player, but the best ones I’ve found were Oto Music (closed source), which has very good lyrics search and support, and Booming Music.

PixelPlayer also looks like a promising new option.

Navidrome works best with a library that is already well-organized, but it can do some things in terms of library management, particularly with the use if plugins.

There are some good tools for organizing your library, such as beets, Picard, etc. I did not have good luck with beets because I find it a bit complex for a CLI tool, and a lot of my library is composed of singles and mixes. It seems to do better with whole albums. I use Strawberry player for local library management, which has tools like Picard built in, and also connects to lots of things like lastfm if you want. You can also add lyrics with a tool like lrcget.

If you have existing playlist files saved, Navidrome will automatically import them. It can also make new playlists, and there are plugins for smart playlists, etc. Once you set up Navadrome, you shouldn’t have to touch it very much because it will automatically monitor and update your library if you set it up correctly, which is not difficult at all. It’s a little bit more specialized and so has a little bit better setup for music than Jellyfin, in my opinion. And it has far more front-ends on various platforms. I do use Jellyfin for all of my TV and movies, though.

Tempus is phenomenal. I switched to navidrome on my server to use it. Chora is also good, and I use it on my TV (works well on any screen). If you don’t mind closed-source, Symphonum is excellent.

If you are using Jellyfin, it works well on PC, with Fintunes on mobile.

You can find a number of good apps for navidrome here. I quite like Strawberry, which is cross-platform. I use it locally for library management.

I connect everything with Tailscale, which is dead simple.

Yea, it’s not winning any beauty contests. But super fun turn based strategy.

Some overlooked ones:

Material Files

Anx Reader

Overmorrow Weather

OSS Document Scanner

Feudal Tactics rarely shows up in the “best of FOSS” lists or games lists. Yet I think it’s one of the most engaging and nicely balanced single player, local games out there.

Some people find it helpful to name the negative self-talk voice. Then you can say things like, “shut up, Karen. You never have useful suggestions.”

There is also something in toddler parenting called a “no thanks bite.” That’s the first vite of food that you have to decide if you want to say “no thanks.” It works with toddlers because there is less pressure around eating, and you are allowed to try new things that you might later decide not to have.

The adult version is the same. When trying out a new health routine, etc., you can do a “no thanks try.” Say, I am going to go to the gym this week and next week. If it works out, I may go again after that, or I may not. It just depends on whether it fits in my routine.

Remember that we have routines for reasons. We don’t always know why. Routines are very hard to change while the underlying reasons persist.

Wow, I just recovered a childhood memory

GeoCities

I couldn’t quite follow all that. TLDR?

Thanks, I did not realize. I just did a quick search because I remembered an app but couldn’t remember the name. Must be something else.

Edit: Maybe it was mapillary after all. They were acquired by Meta in 2020. A better option looks to be KartaView.

Album I would listen to start to finish on any given day: Rubber Soul by the Beatles.

Favorite overall album to listen to: Chutes Too Narrow by The Shins.

Most important album: London Calling by The Clash

I’d love to see that wonderful interoperability we were all promised. It should be possible to have one identity/account that’s connected to multiple services. I should be able to log in once, post some thoughts on Mastodon, share a photo on Pixelfed, and comment on a PeerTube video. Some services have tried to combine various formats with a little success, but it has been very limited, and generally broken.

Not the one you’re replying to, but I’d generally agree.

If someone wants to post on Peertube, they basically either have to have the time, funding, and know-how to self-host, or arrive with an established audience. Someone with great creative talent does not necessarily want to run an expensive and complicated software project. Someone who has an established audience has very little incentive to jump to federation.

PeerTube is improving slowly. There are now a few instances with open registration, which could mean more fertile ground for good content. We shall see.

Absolutely. The organizations that have the most to gain and the most capability to manage instances are

• local governments,
• news publishers/journalists, and
• Universities

These are groups that have unique publishing and legal mandates that already have the IT departments and adequate sway to compel users. They already host email and websites, and regularly come into conflict with corporate messaging platforms.

OpenStreetMap is frankly about as good as a crowdsourced map can possibly be.

And it’s always improving. Mobile apps like CoMaps let you add business information. There are also apps like Every Door, MapComplete, or SCEE, which particularly emphasize updating OSM on the go.

There are apps for adding photos, such as Mapilary or Panoramax, which are not built into OSM, but built on top of it.

There have been a few attempts at FOSS review projects, like lib.reviews or mangrove.reviews, although it is tricky to reach critical mass.

Each of these are huge organizational challenges and data management challenges on their own. Without selling ads or mining data, it’s hard for me to imagine a single project that does evey part and does it well.
