My background is in graphic design/marketing and I’ve mostly worked in the non-profit sector. A few years ago I canceled my Spotify subscription after they hiked up the prices and decided I wanted a way to stream my own music collection from anywhere. I found Navidrone, began learning docker, fell down the Jellyfin/arr rabbit hole, and eventually stumbled upon Cosmos Server as a simpler way to expose my containers safely. It’s been a fun project and a welcoming community so far.

I recently sold my Ender 3v2 to buy a Qidi Q1 Pro and I’m very pleased with my purchase.

Yes

Idk if this helps anyone else but recently I couldn’t get any torrent results to load in Stremio so I did some digging and it turns out the developer of the plugin made changes and it no longer works with a VPN. If I turn off my VPN the torrent results will load and then I turn my VPN on again to stream as normal (I don’t have Real Debrid and live in the US so VPN is necessary)

Man sometimes I feel like the internet is an absolute garbage pit and then I come across treasure like this. Thank you for sharing!

It’s a PCB mounting style that uses an o-ring instead of screws to hold the PCB inside the case.

Sounds like you’re doing all you can. Hope that help works out.

I think OP said highlighter maybe?

I remember your first post, these are indeed dope! Glad you’ve got some more creativity flowing, how are you doing nowadays?

The blooms are lovely ☺️

What kind of Hoya is this?

Speechless (US, 2016) is a sitcom about a family with a teenaged son who has cerebral palsy, is non-verbal, and uses a power chair. It’s hilarious and wholesome! The show doesn’t shy away from the difficulties of living in an ableist world but it’s also hopeful without veering into inspiration porn or preachiness.

Glad you found it helpful 😄

This is wonderful, thanks for sharing your project! It’s nice to see hobbyists building projects too 😄

Still wont be able to afford this but maybe my 40s secret Santa will be extra generous 🤑

I’m sure the gb will be a hit!

Like you I try to support artists by purchasing physical media or releases on Bandcamp. Outside of that I get my music on Soulseek, through torrents, Usenet, and occasionally XDCC. I don’t need lossless files and even if I download FLACs I transcode them to 320kbps MP3 before they go on my iPod anyway. The harder it becomes to acquire music legally the less bad I feel about downloading with abandon.

Awesome! If you do I’d love to hear how it goes. I’m sure I’m not the only person trying this but I haven’t found much online from other users yet.

I absolutely don’t need (nor can I afford) another QAZ but this is just too good and I must have it 🤤

Streaming my own music was the reason I got into self-hosting in the first place and I’ve been satisfied with Navidrome for over a year now. My preference is to stream via an app on my phone but I’ve made accounts for a couple friends and they stream happily on multiple devices using the browser interface.

As stated, my reason is that I was paying Spotify more money for less music and I was unhappy with that. You pointed out yourself that musicians barely get by in the streaming era so I would rather support them on Bandcamp (I know it has it’s own issues) or buying physical media whenever possible rather than pirating. Streaming platforms may make music you want to listen to seemingly affordable and accessible but that’s not the case for everyone. This is my personal experience.
