I have a mix of music in my Navidrome library consisting of full albums, and singles. All of my music is imported with Beets.

My experience with singletons is however not very enjoyable in Navidrome, as they're shown as full albums in album view, and viewing "songs" makes them drown in the sea of songs in albums.

The playlist function in Navidrome is a bit cumbersome, ideally I'd like to have new singletons appended to an existing playlist when importing with beets to keep the process as automated as possible.

So my question to the community - how do you manage your singletons? What advice do you have for me? I see the most recent Navidrome version has support for muti-libraries, should I keep two seperate libraries, one for album and one for singletons?

I have solid experience configuring and maintaining Linux, but my knowledge in networking is quite basic. What should my first configurations and preparations should I do before flashing Openwrt and setting it up for my home network?

PS. If I can use the switch as a NAS, I'd be delighted.

Hey Lemmies, I want to buy a new pair of sunglasses without contributing to Luxotica dominance. I've had Shady rays, but I am looking for a non-american brand.

Look forward to hear your recommendations.

You are the victim of a con — one so pernicious that you’ve likely tuned it out despite the fact it’s part of almost every part of your life. It hurts everybody you know in different ways, and it hurts people more based on their socioeconomic status. It pokes and prods and twists millions of little parts of your life, and it’s everywhere, so you have to ignore it, because complaining about it feels futile, like complaining about the weather.

It isn’t. You’re battered by the Rot Economy, and a tech industry that has become so obsessed with growth that you, the paying customer, are a nuisance to be mitigated far more than a participant in an exchange of value. A death cult has taken over the markets, using software as a mechanism to extract value at scale in the pursuit of growth at the cost of user happiness.

These people want everything from you — to control every moment you spend working with them so that you may provide them with more ways to make money, even if doing so doesn’t involve you getting anything else in return. Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and a majority of tech platforms are at war with the user, and, in the absence of any kind of consistent standards or effective regulations, the entire tech ecosystem has followed suit. A kind of Coalition of the Willing of the worst players in hyper-growth tech capitalism.

Things are being made linearly worse in the pursuit of growth in every aspect of our digital lives, and it’s because everything must grow, at all costs, at all times, unrelentingly, even if it makes the technology we use every day consistently harmful.

This year has, on some level, radicalized me, and today I’m going to explain why. It’s going to be a long one, because I need you to fully grasp the seriousness and widespread nature of the problem.

I've seen a lot of posts for a lot of different homepage for selfhosters: homepage, homer, homarr (which has an 700 MB image!).

I was after something lightweight, simple and easy to configure and get up and running without all the frills and flashy features. And I found a hidden geml in envlinks - a really simple dashboard that is supersimple to configure (just env-variables in the compose file) and still customisable enough for my needs.

Hope it will satisfy the need of other minimalists out there :-)

Hello all, I wan to create an alias of this command: alias dockps = "docker ps --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Ports}}""

The syntax for creating an alias is: alias $COMMAND = "docker ps --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Ports}}""

However, since there are quote marks, I assume they neet to be escaped with \. But in the case above, I'm getting the errors in fish and bash.

Fish error: $ alias dockps = "docker ps --format \"table {{.ID}} {{.Names}} {{.Status}} {{.Ports}}\""

alias: expected <= 2 arguments; got 3

Bash error: $ alias dockps = "docker ps --format \"table {{.ID}} {{.Names}} {{.Status}} {{.Ports}}\"" bash: alias: dockps: not found bash: alias: =: not found bash: alias: docker ps --format "table {{.ID}} {{.Names}} {{.Status}} {{.Ports}}": not found

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: For fish shell users out there, this can be accomplished by using func: $ function dockerps docker ps --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Ports}}" end $ funcsave dockerps

I'm leaving the question up as the question with escape characters is still relevant and can be a learning resouce.

Hello selfhosters.

We all have bare-metal servres, VPS:es, containers and other things running. Some of them may be exposed openly to the internet, which is populated by autonomous malicious actors, and some may reside on a closed-off network since they contain sensitive data.

And there is a lot of solutions to monitor your servers, since none of us want our resources to be part of a botnet, or mine bitcoins for APTs, or simply have confidential data fall into the wrong hands.

Some of the tools I've looked at for this task are check_mk, netmonitor, monit: all of there monitor metrics such as CPU, RAM and network activity. Other tools such as Snort or Falco are designed to particularly detect suspicious activity. And there also are solutions that are hobbled together, like fail2ban actions together with pushover to get notified of intrusion attempts.

So my question to you is - how do you monitor your servers and with what tools? I need some inspiration to know what tooling to settle on to be able that detect unwanted external activity on my resources.

Hello selfhosters.

I'm considering to buy a SFF PC to act as a docker host. The main services / applications I'm going to run is going to be Immich. Filebrowser, Samba-share and eventually Paperless-ngx. I've been eyeing PCs with a N100 / N200 specifically to run quiet, and to conserve on energy consumption. I am most likely going for an Asus PN42 and will have an SSD in it to keep the moving parts to a minimum.

To those who are running machines with this CPU and similiar workloads, how has your experience been?

Hey all, I got a giveaway promo code for this game. I'm not into the Apple ecosystem at all, so I won't have any joy out of it. Grapefrukt usually produces quality games, so whoever gets to this code first - enjoy!

More info about the game here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/subpar-pool/id1546080553

To get the code:

• multiply all numbers by 3
• CAPITILIZE ALL LETTERS
• remove all dashes
• Enjoy!

PS: I miss the old "play it forward" community, so this will be my first contribution in that spirit here on Lemmy.

Let's be honest, the rankings of gnome-look are weird at best and there is no good resource to gauge what icons / cursors / themes people like to use in their everyday DE.

So please share what icon-pack / cursor theme / GTK|QT theme you use, and why.

Hello all. I'm trying to change the SSH port on an Oracle VM, but I'm getting nowhere and I don't know where to solve the issue.

I have changed the SSH port:

edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Entered the port info:

Port 5522

I restarted the service:

sudo systemctl restart ssh

And made sure that the port is open:

ss -an | grep 5522
tcp   LISTEN 0      128                                                                               0.0.0.0:5522                0.0.0.0:*            
tcp   LISTEN 0      128                                                                                  [::]:5522                   [::]:*    

I also allow incoming traffic to 5522:

sudo ufw allow 5522/tcp comment 'Open port ssh tcp port 5522'

AND just to make sure, I allow 'routed':

sudo ufw default allow FORWARD

And make sure the FW config is valid:

sudo ufw status verbose
Status: active
Logging: on (medium)
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), allow (routed)
New profiles: skip

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
22/tcp                     ALLOW IN    Anywhere                   # Open port ssh tcp port 22
5522/tcp                   ALLOW IN    Anywhere                  
22/tcp (v6)                ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)              # Open port ssh tcp port 22
5522/tcp (v6)              ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)              # Open real ssh tcp port 22

Yet, I cannot connect to this server. Trying to ssh -vvvv -p 5522 [ip-adress] yields this:

OpenSSH_9.0p1 Ubuntu-1ubuntu8.4, OpenSSL 3.0.8 7 Feb 2023
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config

debug1: connect to address 129.x.x.5 port 5522: No route to host
ssh: connect to host 129.x.x.5 port 5522: No route to host

I can connect just fine when the port is at 22, but as soon as I change it to 5522, i get the 'no route to host' error.

I've made sure I have rules on Oracle cloud that allows ingress and egress traffic to 0.0.0.0/0 on all protocols, no matter the destination / source.

What am I doing wrong? It feels that this problem is host (server) based rather client based, since I'm getting a routing error. Do I need to configure the routing for that port specifically, and if so how?

PS: Also, connecting to localhost:5522 from the server itself works fine. So the problem is not in the configuration, but likely network related.

EDIT: This issue is solved, solution written on this post: https://lemmy.ml/comment/2787074
