If your use case is only desktop and phone, KDE Connect can do it independently from your music service. Works in both directions as well.

My impression from a recent crash course on Docker is that it got popular because it allows script kiddies to spin up services very fast without knowing how they work.
That’s only a side effect. It mainly got popular because it is very easy for developers to ship a single image that just works instead of packaging for various different operating systems with users reporting issues that cannot be reproduced.



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.
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.
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: https://games-on-whales.github.io/
Mostly, I’m not big enough to trigger anything there.
Also, since ISPs usually only get a single humongous IPv6 block, it’s actually pretty hard to know what is okay to block. Somebody might be on a /48, /56 or /64 network but they might also just have a single IPv6 address. Since you’re blocking quintillions of IP addresses with each /64 net, the risk of hitting innocent IPs is high.
Also also, I’m not sure if Google is actually prepared for such a case. Since all the requests coming from Invidious just seem like legit unauthenticated requests, it’s hard to flag them on IPv6 when the IPs are fully randomized.
Still, Google is moving towards requiring a login for everything. So I assume that method won’t work for much longer.
Define “widely”.
According to Google 46.09% of their traffic is IPv6 and most servers support it. It’s mostly large ISPs dragging their feet.
My favorite thing to use IPv6 for is to use the privacy extension to get around IP blocks on YouTube when using alternative front ends. Blocked by Google on my laptop? No problem, let me just get another one of my 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 IP addresses.
I have a separate subnet which is IPv6 only and rotates through IP addresses every hour or so just for Indivious, Freetube and PipePipe.


And one dude that really wanted to play Nier Automata on Linux.


the Samsung car moving robots are kind of amazing.
Apparently it’s Hyundai, not Samsung. The article mentions Samsung and then links to an article about Hyundai’s robots.
Nonetheless, those things are surprisingly fast. Assuming they work as well as in that presentation.
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: https://www.shodan.io/


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.


Thanks!


Steam does as well.
I found out recently that KDE has a “Focus stealing prevention” in their settings and it has been glorious.


I “vibe code” anything that is throwaway.
Same here. It’s surprisingly easy to get quick results with a few prompts for one-time scripts without putting any effort in.


Doom 2016 launched with a 44k player peak on Steam, Doom Eternal with a 100k peak and Doom: The Dark Ages only got a 30k peak.
Either most people play on Game Pass, think the game is too expensive, don’t have raytracing compatible hardware or don’t like Denuvo.
Whatever it is, the game doesn’t seem to be doing so great.
I always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as “Full ASS”.
I bought a Model 3 SR+ in 2019 because it was pretty much the only decent option, also still driving it.
BYD and other Chinese brands were not available here yet and German manufacturers were asleep at the wheel.
The best coming out of Germany at that time were repurposed chassis from ICE cars, with all the flaws that brings. The Leaf lacked water cooling on the batteries.
The best alternative at that time was a classic Hyundai Ioniq but it had a 28 kWh battery where as the Model 3 SR+ had a 52 kWh battery for 10.000€ more.
Since you own an e-Golf, just to put some numbers on this. (e-Golf left, Model 3 SR+ right)
