  • What are your VPN recommendations for accessing self-hosted applications from the outside?

    Jump

  • You got two options which I’ve tried -

    1. A solution like tailscale or zerotier. Simple setup, easy to turn on and just go. Tailscale is newer and has a nicer interface and features like using an actual VPN like Mullvad as an “endpoint” (or whatever they call it). Their Mullvad connection also basically gives you a discount as they charge only $5 for the vpn instead of €5. The catch is that Mullvad charges you that price for 5 devices. So if a sixth device connects to the VPN through tailscale, you get charged $10 for that month.
    2. A cloudflare tunnel with zero trust on top. More work to setup. But makes it easy to access your apps without any vpn. They’re basically exposed to the internet at that point, but locked in behind cloudflare’s authentication. You can literally set it up for one or two email IDs. Yours and a family member’s. Much simpler for others to wrap their heads around. But some people dislike cloudflare for some reason or the other.

  • A very good example of this is birthdays on Facebook. When the birthday message posting started a few millennia ago, everyone took it very seriously - they would sit up at night and reply to each message. With each passing year, the number of messages increased - 20 to 50 to 70 or even 200, depending on how many “friends” you had on the evil site.

    That’s when everyone realized that it’s just impossible and impractical and most important - unnecessary to have so many people posting on your “wall” to wish you birthday.

    So the game became - you reply to the few folk you really care about - close friends and family. Everyone else got a like or a copy pasted “thanks”.

    The hellsite even saw their “engagement” dip and built a product using the time of highly paid software engineers, product managers, SREs, and managers. What did the product do? It let you do a one click prepopulated “happy birthday person-I-met-once-at-a-party” message to their wall.

    Of course people caught on to how disingenuous that was and just stopped replying to wall messages on that Satan’s Armpit.

  • Why are nonstop flights cheaper than flights with stops these days?

    Jump

  • Airlines are charged for every landing, docking, refuel, etc they do at every airport. So for the same flight from A to Z, it you stop at E, J, and T airports, the airline is shelling out money for each of those three pitstops.

    That’s contributing to the cost of stopover flights.

  • YSK: You can continue to access most subscription services (even trials) after cancelation until the next billing cycle

    Jump

  • Most TV apps end your trials and even paid accounts immediately. Apple rather enforces that they have to give the paid subscription till the end of the term. That’s why I like paying through Apple.

  • I think I’ve finished one game ever. It was GTA Vice City. Of course, not the side quests. I got the game to 49% total completion, I think, with the storyline. Then I lost interest.

    I have finished Skyrim once before, a long, long time ago. I’m taking my sweet time now.

  • I’m slow burning Skyrim on a second hand steam deck. The plan is to finish one play through in a few years and then start again with a different character.

  • Advice on moving my Spotify library to Navidrome

    Jump

  • I reckon the problem with that is… what’s the source for the recommendations and then what’s the sink?

    Like, first, how do you get all that information about music, type of music, musicians, year of release etc?

    Then where do you store it? Then you come to the problem of building a robust recommendation engine. Sure that’s one step that seems solvable with open source. Not easy. Solvable.

    Then, what does a person do with the recommendations? So you have to build ways to export to YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, FOSS music solutions. Perhaps plugins are the way to solve this.

    Not saying it’s not doable. Just difficult.

    Though I also believe someone would have tried to tackle it in their capacity in the FOSS world. Don’t know how Fedi plays into this. Maybe an online radio station?

  • Spotify scrobbles to LastFM. Maybe they have an API or export solution? All you would have to do is play your playlist straight through once after connecting to LastFM.

    I don’t know about importing it further as I don’t know what Navidrome is.
