  • I also just started the process of migrating to a self hosted music server. I’m using navidrome, but a big feature I want is being able to easily add custom tags to songs that I can later use to search and filter for what I want. Navidrome will only open your library in read-only, which is a smart security measure, but means it cant support this. I’m going to try Koel next and see how that goes.



  • If you haven’t tried FreeCAD and are just going off sentiment you’ve seen online, I’d recommend you give it a try. It’s a good program, just a different workflow. Lots of people just refuse to learn it, instead trying to force a workflow from whatever software they used before. When I was a complete beginner, I was able to make multiple functional prints in a couple of hours with MangoJelly’s videos. I was also trying both it and Onshape at the time, and preferred FreeCAD in the end.

    It’s really your only option besides Blender if you want something FOSS. The most recent release also improved a ton of things, and it’ll just keep improving.

    You could also take a look at AstoCAD, a soft fork of FreeCAD by one of the maintainers. It’s 4€/month a month to get the binary, otherwise you’ll have to build it yourself. The money of course goes towards helping develop FreeCAD. The main upside is UI polish, but that comes at the cost of having a different UI than pretty much any tutorial online, so I’d still recommend at least starting with FreeCAD.

    Edit: fixed wrong word, grammar



  • I have all my services behind a reverse proxy and use Crowdsec to monitor and block automated attacks. I also have pocket-id for auth, I use SSO for apps that support it and others just require authentication to access them at all. The docs are pretty solid, it was easy to set up.

    Make sure you know the services running on your server, the most likely way you could get attacked is by just leaving some vulnerable or misconfigured software running and accessible.

    Also I’d probably set up account lockouts on any software you can, I know Jellyfin supports it.





  • Oh my bad, I misread the first line. In that case, I would guess that Proton on Steam might be using a different version of the DirectX translation layer. I’m not sure which that is, since im not sure which directx version the game uses.

    Very interesting that at least one person reported the same error happening on Windows.

    Edit: My guess is that wine is using WINED3D, the directx 9 to opengl translation layer, while proton is using DXVK. Since the game reportedly has this error on windows, the issue might actually be that DXVK is doing the “correct” thing and crashing the same way it would on windows.

    Did you verify that PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 crashes with the exact same error and not a new one? Since you said the game works with vanilla wine, which defaults to wined3d, I would expect this to fix it.


  • Steam uses the Steam runtime and can automatically apply specific settings and configurations known as Protonfixes.

    Try using Proton in Lutris and enabling the Steam runtime. Lutris has support for a tool called Umu Launcher which essentially replicates Steams method of launching games and applies Protonfixes for you. I don’t know the exact requirements to use it, but looking around in the discord (unfortunately) might get you some info.



  • I love Nushell, it’s so much more pleasant for writing scripts IMO. I know some people say they’d just use Python if they need more than what a POSIX shell offers, but I think Nushell is a perfect option in between.

    With a Nushell scripts you get types, structured data, and useful commands for working with them, while still being able to easily execute and pipe external commands. I’ve only ever had two very minor gripes with Nushell, the inability to detach a process, and the lack of a -l flag for cp. Now that uutils supports the -l flag, Nushell support is a WIP, and I realized systemd-run is a better option than just detaching processes when SSHd into a server.

    I know another criticism is that it doesn’t work well with external cli tools, but I’ve honestly never had an issue with any. A ton of CLI tools support JSON output, which can be piped into from json to make working with it in Nushell very easy. Simpler tools often just output a basic table, which can be piped into detect columns to automatically turn it into a Nushell table. Sometimes strange formatting will make this a little weird, but fixing that formatting with some string manipulation (which Nushell also makes very easy) is usually still easier than trying to parse it in Bash.
