  • gonic as the streaming server, Lidarr for library management and some of the downloads, Sonixd/Tempo as desktop/mobile clients.

    Works alright for albums (downloads are a pain), probably won’t really work in your case though.

    Everything is running on a single-node k8s cluster (because infrastructure-as-code is awesome), but it’s probably overkill for most people. https://github.com/sibwaf/Infrastructure for reference if you’re interested (/selfhosted/charts - lidarr, gonic)

    Shameless self-plug: I’m working on a Subsonic-compatible server which wraps yt-dlp (i.e. allows downloading from YouTube/Bandcamp and then streams it). Seems like it should work for your case of handling single tracks. It’s still very much in progress (very-very slow progress) and really isn’t ready for use, but if anyone is interested in following the project: https://github.com/sibwaf/Tapesonic



  • To be honest, I’m also not that knowledgeable about it even though I do have it running on a VPS. And can’t say I’m too knowledgeable about networking/VPNs either - I do use Wireguard which I also manage, but that’s about it.

    So, some bulletpoints instead:

    • It’s kinda a pain to set up
    • It’s default server configuration logs all requests, so you might want to disable this
    • As far as I understand, it’s more of a proxy than a VPN, so you won’t be able to make connections from one client to another
    • It mimics standard HTTPS
    • When using the “reality” protocol it successfuly mimics any website of your choosing for any unauthenticated clients by forwarding HTTPS certificates and whatnot, which protects you from active probing
    • People use it to get around the Great Firewall of China


  • Had a dream recently where I was having a great time in a fantasy world tavern (guess it’s time for me to stop watching so many isekai shows) and decided to sleep on the floor in that same tavern. Woke up in reality, but I really wanted to go back to that story, so I was “telepatically” communicating to a “buddy” in the tavern to wake me up, and each time he would do that I’d see a flash and still find myself in the real world. Was pretty disappointed after a bunch of attempts to “go back”.
