Mostly ease of management. I have a server on which I run multiple applications. If I don’t need something anymore, I can just purge the container. The directories used by that container are clearly listed in my docker-compose file so I never have to wonder whether I purged everything that is now unnecessary.

It also makes it very easy to deploy a new service.

I’m not the guy you replied to.

I originally stored my music in Plex and used Plexamp. I have a large playlist downloaded from youtube which caused horrible performance issues in Plexamp. Navidrome is pretty much a read-only service. It can only read metadata from the files, not add any or manage them. For me this feels safer to expose to the internet since my docker container only has read-only access to all of my files. Even if someone broke into the service for some reason, they couldn’t do anything to my files.

I don’t know if jellyfin has similar performance issues with large playlists since I already had navidrome set up by then.

I just tried converting that to euro to have a better frame of reference for your 200k. Are those really equivalent to about 8 Euro or did I make a mistake with the conversion?

It’s been a while since I last looked into those.

If you aren’t looking for neural networks I found sklearn to be quite capable and easy to understand.

I also tried tensorflow and pytorch a couple times (not enough to get really proficient in them) and I think I found pytorch the hardest to wrap my head around. It’s been quite a while though so maybe it’s better to listen to others with more experience in that regard.

If you are into selfhosting you could checkout audiobookshelf which allows you to stream podcasts and audiobooks from your own server and manage their metadata

Wonderful tool. I’ve had mine long enough that the black finish has given way to silver fur to my keys rubbing it off

I wouldn’t go as far as to say that without germans we wouldn’t have computers today. What he is probably referencing is the Zuse Z3, which can be considered one of the first computers.

The main argument against it being the first is that it’s a mechanical design rather than electronic and that turing completeness was only achieved on it much later using a trick which the designer had not intended. Interestingly, ENIAC, which is considered the first computer by many, uses a decimal design. The Z3 on the other hand was already using binary.

I took this info from the german wikipedia article on the Z3. I’m not sure if the english article goes into similar detail on those points.

In regards to getting your music on your phone, there is also the option of setting up a navidrome server or similar and streaming your files to your phone.

Some apps like Symfonium (which is a paid app but I really like it) allow you to download the music to a cache so you can use it on the go without exposing your server to the web. If you do decide to actually stream from it, there is support for auto transcoding to a smaller format so you don’t burn through all your data streaming flac music

The elevator shaft was invented before the elevator. Tom Scott made a video about that

I wanted to write a minecraft mod. I have never written a minecraft mod but I got interested in actually learning to program after I realized I had no idea what I was doing. Also english and computer science where the only 2 subjects in school I was pretty good at

Try debugging a distributed embedded real time system which crashes when you are in a breakpoint too long because the heartbeat doesn’t respond

Physical since I carried it over from my old phone which didn’t support eSIM.

I did get an eSIM some time ago for a short vacation in switzerland though. The activation went surprisingly smooth even though I had to wait a day before they verified me. The verification delay was probably because I used a foreign ID to register at a swiss provider for that eSIM.

My Proxmox server is named Atlas, as the titan holding up my network.

My VMs on the proxmox server are named:

• TrueNAS (I didn’t have a good name)
• Poseidon for my docker server (Something something docker -> whale -> ocean)

I also have a raspberry pi running for testing out some stuff. It’s named Eileithyia after the greek goddess of birth.

That’s not samsung specific. My xiaomi has that feature too

My notes for the next exam… Before that I was reading the Amaranthe series by G. S. Jennsen. I just finished the first three books which make up a trilogy of their own and don’t want to start the sequel trilogy until exams are over because I have no self control

How do you get your documents on the device? Is there a syncing mechanism?

Basically, they enable you to have a different, randomly generated and very long password for each service with minimal impact to your usability.

Personally I use keepassxc with the accompanying browser addon. When I unlock my PC and need a password, I have to enter my master passwort to unlock the database. Afterwards, until I lock my PC again or manually lock the database, I can click on a single button in my browser window to automatically fill out my login information. I do not know any of my passwords beside the master passwort.

I have yet to need the forget password option after switching to a password manager since I can always look up my passwords.

That guide looks great. I may try that as well
