Windows install is way simpler than that. Thing is, so is Linux with most major distros, unless of course you’re doing something more advanced. It sounds like you’re being way more technical than you need to, and it’s scaring people off.

Asking people to read isn’t a big ask.

Yes, but asking them to read a large, technical manual that’s gonna put them several hours and multiple pages in for a single concept is.

That is indeed what I was thinking of.

Gonna be real, the only thing this offers that I could want, I already have set up through Playnite…

In fact, I’d say this looks really kinda bad. Just about everything you charge for is just leveraging some service or tool someone else already made for free.

IIRC, it’s one of the few add-ons that does work with Librewolf.

That said, the main reason I don’t use is, if I’m remembering the right browser, it just goes way too far with the privacy protections. There’s literally a single thing that’s a deal breaker for me, and that’s the inability to use dark mode on websites. It’s absolutely blinding to the point of being essentially unusable for me.

I do not as I cannot afford the extra storage required to do so.

Okay, but, Picard is for managing an already existing library, not downloading new music…

EDIT: Ah, okay, I see what you’re getting at. Picard covers half the use case talked about in the OP, and that’s what you meant by “for songs available there.” Alright, I follow now, lol.

Isn’t Musicbrainz an info database like Discogs?

Community score being 36 makes me think this might be a well-known crack. Check the community tab there, see what the comments say.

I am a bit worried by the apparent knowledge of the dev. Things like relying on the Firefox extension store to host a piracy tool and not understanding that you only need a hotlink to a file ending in .user.js to install with tampermonkey concern me.

Edit: Not saying it’s malicious, it’s actually a very simple script, it’s just that these things give me pause.

Bro responded to a joke with a thesis paper.

Visits in person? Are anime companies sending out the fucking Yakuza now?

Not so much self-hosting related (though I do run a Jellyfin server on this PC), but within the past week, I was sure I was gonna have to reinstall my os (and probably take the opportunity to jump distros) because audio just would not work. Everything seemed to think it was fine. Even OBS was picking up the audio, but there was no output. Persisted through reboots and everything.

I have no idea what happened to cause it or fix it.

It’s not actually a glitch, it’s Windows’s Fast Startup feature. It sort of hibernates the system rather than shutting it off. The running state of the system is partially retained and the drives aren’t cleanly unmounted. I don’t know anything about ntfsfix personally, but it probably cleans this up just fine. If you’re gonna be spending a large amount of time using Linux, however, you’re probably better off disabling fast startup altogether. If you only use Linux a little, though, I think holding shift while you shut down also forces a full shutdown.

The concern isn’t so much them directly taking your money or info, but rather accepting money to enable someone else to.

Basically, they’ve been bundling ads with their installer for years, but several years back, whatever ad service they used without a care decided to start shipping spyware as well, in addition to the already existent deceptive patterns used in the installer.

You’d expect any good dev to be pissed if something like this got into their software, right? Well, they were pissed… at the users. The stupid, stupid users and cyber security researchers who dared to say this was a problem. They refused to acknowledge the problem, made excuses, removed discussions about it on their forums and tried to act like it wasn’t a big deal even if there was malware because they also offer a download without the malware, provided as a nice, tiny link on a separate page.

Ah, didn’t mention I’m on Linux. Not gonna bother with a paid client just for Wii U homebrew anyway.

Really kinda sucks that all the FTP clients that seem good are Windows only.

Yeah, there’s a module for the modern custom firmware that runs an ftp server in the background for file access. Let’s you manage things, add homebrew, install games, etc without constantly swapping the SD card. For whatever reason, though, GNOME commander can’t connect at all and gFTP disconnects immediately when trying to make a transfer.

I still don’t trust it given what the devs have done and how they responded to the community.

Same shit different software. I’m still using that turd Filezilla because literally no other FTP software I’ve tried has worked with the server run by WiiU homebrew.

It isn’t even new, the replies have been the same childish shit since at least May of 2022.
