An aquantance of mine has a CD collection and wants to rip it. They don’t want to stream it over a server but rather store it, say, on a hard drive connected directly to their speakers/receiver....
Volumio
Will run on a dedicated raspberry pi and x86.
(dedicated means, the computer will only do this, nothing else)
Connect the sound out of the device to the amp and it will provide a web interface to directly control playback.
Music is not streamed, it can play files from a local disk, or from a network mount.
The free tier is 99% of what someone needs.
Moodeaudio
Same as above without fees, though explicitly only for raspberrypi and a limited number of SBC's
A key fundamental for any music is the metadata tagging and Musicbrains Picard is the best way to do this
Picard can automatically find the proper metadata for almost everything, and, can "scan" ripped from cd tracks and automate the naming and folder structure that a music library should be in.
A Starfield remake, of sorts, has been created in 48 hours, incorporating seamless travel between planets, something missing from the actual Bethesda RPG.
Star citizen has been able to do "all that" for at least 4 years, and most consider it a glorified tech demo
In Star citizen you can also do all those things with other players too
If you think "they aren't close yet" it might be worth trying it out during one of the free fly events - the only cost is your time to download and play it.
Having an opinion is fine, having an informed opinion is better
If things continue the way it has been, never would be the best estimate of a release date.
Depending on the last time you logged into a session, the current status is between playable and entertaining and nightmare of lag/desync issues making it something most people would want to avoid
In a purely technical sense, if CIG locked the code branch and set 100% of the creative teams to the task, the current system could replicate a Starfield level game and do so in a seamless manner.
It wouldn't be without issues but something I consider plausible
Currently I manage my passwords in an archaic but secure way, which is simply to synchronize a directory where I have my Keepass database between my devices, and I say archaic but secure because even if my Nextcloud server hosted on a VPS explode (where I have the database stored) I still have the databases stored locally, so I...
Syncthing can realtime monitor a folder that just has the keepass file and automatically update to any other syncthing enabled devices in near realtime.
Additionally it can be set to keep versions of the file so you can have copies of older versions to hand whenever things go wrong.
The only real catch is to not have the keepass db open on 2 devices at the same time as any changes made in one may be overwritten by the other as file locking isn't a thing in this method.
I've used Syncthing and keepass in this way for many many years
I have a bunch of google rewards $$$ going to waste, id be more than happy to use them as a one time payment.
It's a missed opportunity for the dev to refuse money from people who would like to make a one time payment.
Just offer an ad free + support development option and also have pro option subscription for those that want it
you might want to look into getting wordpress to generate static pages and only deliver the static html.
Overall using bloging tools that generate static pages is better than constantly requesting DB and dynamically compiling each page every time there is a request
So basically, Reddit wants you to work for free, to moderate content provided to them for free by users and if you don't do it the specific way they want you to they'll kick you?
