Glad to help! The legendary pancake house here, Kompressor, has blonde munk on tap. It’s why I make the greasy association. Highly recommend getting a bacon cheese pancake and a munk, and try to make room for a nap immediately after.

Yep, its the ring chips. There’s also chips pressed into long rectangle wafers all neatly stacked that’s worth checking, if only for the novelty of it.

Oh one last thing I just remembered, Baltic style garlic bread! It’s best from bars with a good enough kitchen, but there’s also a packaged version. Super greasy fried black bread infused with most too much garlic, perfection.

I’m pretty sure Saku Mõdu is still alive and well, just look for Mõdu rather than Honey. I was taken with it the first time too. By the second and third you’ll probably get over it.

The beer here that wowed me and still draws me back is Tanker’s Sauna Session. It’s a lager (I think) that is heavily doped with birch flavor. As the name implies, great for sauna, but I think it’s great any time you need to shock your taste buds.

On the topic of beer, Karski’s Blonde Munk is a very satisfying brew to have with a greasy meal, and Põhhala’s Saturnus is just damn good any time.

On the continued topic of good things that aren’t great for you, Pirat. Like, funions but made out of potato starch I think. Delicious, but they go stale in like 15 minutes.

This isn’t a complete solution, but trakt.tv covers a lot of ground. I started using it for getting a consistent history of watched shows between jellyfin on the road and kodi at home. It works okay enough for this, though at times it does seem that one or both of the plugins can fail to log a watched show. I would guesstimate a 90% success rate.

My favorite open secret of the internet. It’s crazy to think how long that network has been running. I think I stumbled on it around 2003. Thanks for pointing out this client. I’ve been relying on a rickety container build that uses novnc and nicotine+ to give a quasi-portable experience. It will be nice to ditch that, hopefully.

If you have the time to spare (a few weeks perhaps, if coming from zero) to experiment and read, Prometheus and Grafana offers a lot and can be really flexible. I use a pretty simple bash script that scrapes my desired https endpoints and writes out the results to a file Prometheus (node-exporter) understands, and from there I can write alert rules in Grafana to fire off notices by email or slack.

I wouldn’t take too seriously anyone saying it’s a horrible idea. I mean, I think you could always argue it’s a waste of resources running a GUI for a thing intended to be a server. But headless servers aren’t the end all be all. I’m sure there’s a lot of licensed redhat instances out there running gnome or whatever because reasons.

Personally I wouldn’t do it unless some hard necessity were there because it’s just another thing that could go wrong, another thing to maintain if you’re capturing your config as code, and mostly because I’m not gonna dedicate a keyboard/monitor for that kind of stuff.

I’m not the op of the comment, but there is a good chance it is Semiosis by Sue Burke. It’s such a fun read, and quite unique for several reasons.

I did a 4 node Pi4 kubernetes cluster for about 5 years. The learning experience was priceless. I think most notable was learning to do proper multiarch container builds to support arm and x86_64. That being said, about half a year ago I decided to try condensing it all into two n100 nuc-like clones and keep one pi as the controller. For me and my apps and use cases there was no going back. Performance gains were substantial and in this regard I think I was hobbling myself after the educational aspect plateaued.

You might check out wiim stuff. They seem to be the darling of budget streaming for the moment.

There have been a few mentions of Navidrome. I find it works well for sharing at an album or even artist level. It can do playlists as well. But you must explicitly choose what to share, at which point it’s generates a unique URL and will generate a web player and zip if you enable the option to download.

You can, of course, just make user accounts and distribute credentials.

If you’re needing to offer browsable folders to easily copy, basically a filesystem-like experience, it’s probably not the best tool.

Edit: one more thing to point out is that navidrome, jellyfin, and airsonic all construct music libraries differently. Navidrome is using tags, jellyfin uses file names, airsonic uses directory structure. Not sure about Plex.

for that I expect to get that)

Only thing I can say on 3 is the interface is pretty not bad. I’ve never quite liked it, but it has never really gotten in the way. I only recently started trying the track/artist mix. Also can say it’s okay. I’ve actually found a few gems over a few weeks of usage, but at the same time I have found times where it’s time to skip to the next track, though this is mostly due to personal taste and not because it’s throwing some really out of character into the playlist.

Tidal has been pretty good for me over the past 5 years. I don’t know what your criteria are, but for me it’s something like 1) is the catalog big enough to offer 90% of what I’m looking for and 2) no advertising if I’m paying for the service. It ticks those boxes. I imagine it’s only a matter of time until they introduce the bullshit tier where you’re paying and being advertised to, but for now you get what you pay for.

Sounds like you don’t smoke cigarettes, so not that dumb!

I’ve had a good experience so far with two minipcs, mele quieter 4c for kodi, and a morefine m9 (I think this one is branded as mipowcat in the EU). They’re both n100, the m9 can go up to 32gb of ram although it is picky about what modules it will accept. I use the m9 for jellyfin and about 10 other services. Quick sync works great as far as I’ve tested it. For jellyfin I’m relying mostly on direct streaming, but I tried a few episodes with forcing some transcoding by using Firefox for playback and it worked fine.

I think they’re suggesting the BMW comment reads like an ad by responding like an ad.

I don’t think it’s actually still popular, but I’m just talking out of my ass here. I remember it made some waves a few months ago about finally having a new release after so long, and my feeling was a shitload of nostalgia brought it back into the internet spotlight, regardless of how many people are actually using it.

I gave it a spin again, purely for nostalgia. I could find no compelling reason to use it over my actual preferred player, foobar

I feel like the argument for using a nonstandard ssh port these days is that you dodge the low tier automation/bots that are endlessly scanning IPs and port 22 and trying obvious usernames and passwords. I do also question how much it is worth dodging these since presumably you’d have already done the other basics like key only and no root login before this. Maybe there’s some value if you want a clean auth.log or equivalent

Val!

To add to this, there’s even the capacity to add usb dacs if the underlying distribution supports it. Picoreplayer was my introduction to these tools and I’m pretty sure it’s my final destination. Can’t recommend it enough if they have the time and curiosity to get it set up.

I would also add that if the person OP is asking on behalf of is not so inclined to get into the technical parts and okay with possibly throwing money at the project, volumio is there. I tried this first and appreciated it for what it was, but I wanted features behind the pay wall which are readily available for free with pCP.
