  • The year was 2002 and I was working in the music section of a Borders. Older guy comes in asking for an album by a new young singer, he didn’t know her name but “she could be a model”. I don’t recall how, but somehow, we made it to this album and that was what he was looking for.

    As a 20 something, it wasn’t my cup of tea and given the Borders crowd’s obsession with it, I was mostly unwilling to be bothered with it. Fast forward 20+ years and I’ve developed a real love of Jones and this album in particular.

    I guess my point is listen to the old people even if they don’t know what they’re talking about.


  • I’ve just finished ripping about 1300 CDs. I used Jellyfin for a bit since I already had it set up for my video library, but I wasn’t happy with the Android options and it was pretty basic.

    Navidrome is a fucking TREAT. Paired with Symfonium, I’m finally enjoying my personal music collection regularly again.

    As for tagging, OP, while I get why people like Picard, it doesn’t always work with how I like to do things. I put everything into a music folder on my desktop, use Mp3Tag to retrieve metadata, edit what I need, and make sure the artwork is decent and sized where I want it. Then I use the tag > filename to organize and move them to my NAS.





  • First off, take this for what it is: a guy who can follow instructions but does not understand all the inner workings of docker.

    I use Gluetun and have a set of apps that I run through it. They are all in the same compose file. Each of the ports is defined in the Gluetun section and not with the individual app. Then each app’s network_mode is set to service:gluetun

    This routes all the traffic for those apps through the VPN while maintaining my regular network for everything else.
