TLDR; The developer of tachiyomi got threads from the manga publisher’s lawyers. So he archived his repo. Other devs forked it to keep the project alive.

Sure thing!

I’m using Yōkai.

Pre-11 windows was at least less buggier than Mac OS. But I agree: It’s a big pain too! Linux just works better for me.

I don’t use Bazzite. But if you have any pro arguments for Brew, feel free to share them. Change my mind.

I feel you. Once I was forced to code on a mac too. It made me insane ☠️

May be a sign to install Linux 😏 brew sucks anyways

My internet provider offers up to 4 sim cards per account. They cost once 10€, without a monthly fee. However they have only 300mb of high speed traffic. But this should be just fine for a tracker, no? Just have a look in your customer portal. Maybe you’ll find something there too

I like MakeMKV. It also works flawlessly with modern formats like (4k-)BluRays. Also it’s super simple to use. Just throw your disk in, press the big shiny button and wait till it rips your disk. It even handles the decryption for you.

To be honest I like this behavior. I haven’t enabled the hot word, so this is a really convenient way to launch the assistant. (It doesn’t has to be the google assistant btw)

Welcomes! Btw: If you want to make it even slimmer, you can also remove features. Or you add some if wanted (like tilting, if your cover supports it).

I just use a tile card. Simple, but great!

    - type: horizontal-stack
      cards:
        - type: tile
          entity: cover.wohnzimmer_rollo_links
          features:
            - type: "cover-open-close"
            - type: "cover-position"
        - type: tile
          entity: cover.wohnzimmer_rollo_rechts
          features:
            - type: "cover-open-close"
            - type: "cover-position"

If you want to start cheap, I can recommend you to use an old notebook. In my opinion it’s the perfect home server for beginners.

• It’s cheap (most people have an unused laying around anyway)
• If it’s old enough to still have a dvd drive, you can replace it with a second sata ssd. There are cheap frames for this available.
• it has a battery, so it can shutdown if there is a power outage
• It’s slim. You can just throw it on your closet and forget about it

Most services don’t need much. So it’s just fine if your “server” is like 10 years old. My first notebook server had 2 cores and 4 GB ram and it run Proxmox with like 10 lxc containers just fine.

I’m using MusicBrainz Picard. However there are some tricks to spare you some nerves:

• you can set weights to release types in the settings. Singles and compilations should have a lesser weight than albums.
• Don’t add too much music at once. Or you’ll get crazy selecting the correct releases. I usually go with one artist a time. Especially for older artists I just add one album a time. You can enable the file Browser in the view settings, than you can just drop them in one after the other.
• in the right pane you can just drag and drop whole releases to merge them together.
• Also noticable is the rename feature in the settings. It’s just awesome!

It’s a jungle out there 🎶

That’s a cool approach! Reminds me of the old Napster 🤓

Awesome! I just learned something today. Thanks for pointing it out so detailed!

yt-dlp can handle YouTube Music Links. Just tell it with -x --audio-format mp3, that you don’t want the Video, but an mp3 (opus can’t be tagged). I use it to obtail whole artists, then I tag them with MusicBrainz Picard. I’m sure there is a way to automate this. yt-dlp has also a Python library. However I haven’t used it for now.
