It’s everyday the year of Linux !

Not sure if every audio file is upscaled, however I had a few files who clearly were 128kbs mp3 upscaled to ~192kbs opus !

personally I cannot hear any compression in the audio.

100% agree on that xD !! However, I’m some kind of strange audio freak hoarder. If the spectogram of an audio doesn’t reflect my standards (not upsacles audio files…) I won’t keep/archive it !

Do note that I didn’t used a paid YouTube account… Maybe they don’t serve HQ audio files to free users? Dunno, but after some digging into the spectograms I was not happy seeing how bad they looked !

Cool stuff, thank you for sharing your project with the community ! It’s very cool and useful for people who just want a set and forget situation !

I stoped using yt-dlp frontends the moment I saw youtube actually serving upscaled opus media files (very visible line on a spectrogram). Also their metadata is totally fucked-up and not very well organized and full of shit (comments with huge spaces and non useful metadata…).

Sure, the metadata part is easily fixable with Picard MusicBrainz, but the quality downgrade was a huge no for me. Nowadays, I use nicotine, rutracker and private trackers to download FLAC quality files and transcode them to opus 192k to serve them in my Navidrome library with a well curated metadata structure !

Yes it takes way more time and some dedication but it’s worth it :) specially If you are some kind of perfectionist and like everything neatly organized ! 😁

More power to you for keeping the opensource community thriving !! Thank you !

So he was manually compiling all the software he used, even those related to his system like openssh?

Isn’t RedHat who pushed systemd? Most init enthusiasts hate systemd ! Dunno if related tho. I’m just recently into linux so I never had the chance to give the init system a try !

However, I’m an opensource and free from corporate shit software lover. Try to avoid everything related to corpo (Redhat, Ubuntu…). That’s exaclty the reason why I’m reluctant to give Fedora a try, even though it seems kinda a good distro !

Debian as server distro EndeavourOS as daily drive

Just to add a note for OP: If your not into tinkering and taking care a of your OS don’t even think to try any Arch based distro. There’s a minimum time you have to spend to keep your system healthy.

Just recentlty I had a boot issue after an update (black screen on boot without login or tty) and after a lot of debugging and websearch couldn’t fix my issue. At first I though of a fuckedup bootloader or to long wait time between updates but It was a recent issue with MESA and nvidia driver.

Had I looked up the EndeavourOS forum rather then my own search results that would have avoided a fuckedup fresh install wich didn’t solved the issue either.

So yeah, there was a solution out there (downgrade MESA, install new nvidia driver rather than nouveau) but I wasn’t looking in the right place 🫤 So here I’m with a fresh install…

After digging a bit the rabbit hole I’m still not sure I understand… But this issue is mostly related to portables devices (Laptops, Steam deck…), battery mangement and legacy BIOS?

After going through this written blog post that’s what I “understand”.

Another reason to hate Bill Gates !

Vikunja is very good IMO ! Not sure it’s ready for small business/shop, but it does work well for a personal project management !

Give it a try :)

Oh yeah sorry about that here’s the GitHub repo: Tempo !

Navidrome + Tempo is probably the best experience I ever had on mobile !

However, Tempo hasn’t been updated for a few months now and hope the maintainer is doing okay?

Tried a few other alternatives but Tempo came out the best IMO !

Yeah XFCE is great ! I tried KDE 6 to give it a try and compare but I guess I spent to much time in the CLI to bother about all the GUI knobs KDE provides !!!

Also when you accidentally create a directory called ‘~’ the command rm -r ~ is not the right one…

Ughh ! That one is nasty !

LoqSeq looks nice, but I do hate the part that everything is a bulletpoint :/ And that’s their core feature !

That’s not futur proof IMO. If logSeq disappeared, your notes become useless :/. Or maybe I did misunderstood something on how it works?

I can finally met the ONE? 🤓

That’s not an arsehole… It’s part of the fediverse cluster !!! (The asterism ⁂).

You can compress to lossy and still don’t make the difference between each while saving a ton of storage. Opus 192k is really good and mostly transparent.

I do agree that storage is cheap however if you have to make backups, it really gets satured very fast !

I would still encode and compress the files without noticeable visual loss from a reasonable distance.

AV1-opus combo is generally a good choice and is a viable open codec alternative to x265! Plus you save GB of space for even nore movies and share your encodes on a private tracker to keep up your ratio !!

It’s a win/win situation except if you’re a hardcore bluray/4k hoarder and have the money and mean to keep everything in the native quality. More power to you !!

I really hope you’re right :/ !!

Just a message to bring up positive vibes. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your project with the community !

Edit: Nice to see you host your project on codeberg 👍

I hate what I’m reading here… But I have already thought about the possible enshitification of docker and docker-compose…

It really sucks to always have to relearn everything from the beginning… Now that I feel comfortable I have to relearn a new way to keep my homelab up and running.

Kinda understand how Plex people feel when someone tells them to switch over to jellyfin…Can’t wait to see Jellyfin or Arr stack going a similar route 😮‍💨😮‍💨!

Edit: Similar feeling goes toward Traefik… 😕🫤
