Looks great, maybe this will convince me to setup a music server to free up space on my phone :) One question, does it support browsing by album artist instead of just artist? I organise my music with Picard which moves features to the artist tag, which breaks up albums when using just the artist view. Great work either way

Definitely recommend this approach, listenbrainz end-of-year recaps are quite similar to Spotify. Plus their tagging tool is great

I wish I had the willpower to stop wasting days in front of my PC and go out more, but it always feels impossible, no close friends, no car, live in a small town with an average age that’s probably in the 50s. All I do is go to work and come home to sit in my room. I also hate talking to new people over voice chat (and it takes me some time to warn up to someone when only talking over text) so I don’t do much socialising when sitting at home. I’ve been thinking of moving to a bigger city but that’s a whole other can of worms and doesn’t fix my ability to hold conversions past pleasantries

Public transport navigation is also very lackluster.

This reminded me of a few months ago when I went to Milan with a friend. I used Organic Maps for getting around and they used Gmaps. Their phone was always trying to get us to walk as little as possible, using EVERY possible combination of metro, tram and busses for even the shortest trips, it was insane. Change bus here, ride one stop, get on the metro, change to the other line, get back on a bus, take the tram, it never ended. Same trip on organic maps was 3 changes on the metro and a 5 minute walk at the end.

I’ll echo the rest of the comments and say Debian with docker. I use podman myself but the setup should be similar enough. I used the official Jellyfin guide from their wiki and got everything working in a day, including transcoding.

They use XDG Desktop Portal, which makes video and audio capture system level instead of application level to enhance security. When a program wants to record your screen you get a pop up to choose which screen/window to share. After that the app can only see that window or screen.
