@ticky there’s a bunch of beets plugins that allow importing play counts from places, but I’m not sure if it can actually write them in a way accessible and understandable to navidrome

@FaeAlchemist @bookofbeasts for majora’s mask 3d, you might wanna consider using this: https://restoration.zora.re/

music server update: hooked slskd up to the whole thing, because sometimes finding the thing you want in the usual places is hard, plus this library is the exact kinda thing I’d wanna expose on soulseek

update: I’m finally actually trying zotify, and barring some auth issues (not a zotify specific thing, it affects anything that uses librespot, and I already encountered it at some point) and ratelimit issues (mitigated by using a fork and the right delay), it seems to Just Werk :D

@Sacchihikaru according to the archiveteam wiki article, it happens when it can’t get a response from a trpc endpoint

I somehow never encountered it, but I can absolutely see how annoying it’d be

@triangle-dog services like tunemymusic probably won't really cut it for me, my library is pretty massive AND includes a whole lot of niche stuff that pretty much ensures I won't be able to find some stuff on alternative services supported by those kinda things (or, worse, will hit false positives), that's why I was thinking of just writing my own Thing that cross references a bunch of music databases to get as many reliable release links as possible, hopefully ones that are easier to download from _{(and I might still do it at some point)}

zotify seems like it could work well enough though, I'll def check that one out

does anyone know a (preferably command line) spotify downloader that’s a) good and b) not just a youtube music downloader that happens to be able to use spotify metadata? I’m trying to get out of spotify’s iron grip (got navidrome running and I’m already importing tracks with beets, it’s pretty dang neat), but as it turns out, I have A Lot of spotify playlists that I’d ideally like to migrate, but getting the correct audio for stuff is gonna be a nightmare if I can’t find or engineer a good solution (I can handle the playlist metadata itself, I’ll just duct tape some code together to generate that)

I have no idea how ban happy spotify is with that stuff, but I don’t mind potentially burning a spotify premium account, I could get a fresh account and a free trial for this

@tenna NOPE

@progressivejpeg thanks! seems like it doesn’t have the Polish exams, but it’s definitely still gonna come in handy

thinking of getting a ham radio license, because Why Not

@Sacchihikaru I’m 100% double timing that archival script I only recently had a chance to get back to

but also yeah I think queer online expression is gonna be extremely fucked up in the next few years, de facto and de jure prohibitions on porn, and queer people being targeted as inherently harmful in exposure.

It is gonna Be Bad and I am afraid that everything is just gonna be massively fucked

@muffinlord that is a Certified Windows Moment™

I’m running arch, and it’s currently using 10 gigs of physical memory plus 4.2 gigs of zram (backed by an additional 1.3GB of physical memory) while running a bunch of software plus compiling things in the background

@ysaie LGTM on arch

@spdx_wl yknow, there’s a copy in my steam family, I gotta try it out. it does seem like smth that’d be right up my alley

@niss yesn’t, the ![alt text](image url) markdown syntax does work on the akkoma frontend, but it doesn’t on some other instance types/frontends

@wenchcoat @muffinlord now that’s just practical

I generally do 95% of my linux related Fun Stuff in my main arch system tbh, I know that I can generally get it back to a working state (plus I got snapshots in case it’s somehow FUBAR)

I kinda wanna do linux from scratch in a VM, for Science

@FaeAlchemist I highly recommend getting a UPS (even a cheap one) if power cuts are a regular occurrence over there, it can save you from data loss AND it can often get you through short power cuts without your computer even noticing
