Shit. Here I thought I was creative.

I use my alias butter. With either the device or the OS if I’m dual booting or distrohopping.

I’m fully aware of what a SHA file is, and it’s entirely unimportant to me.

Admittedly, I did check the arch image I use at work.

Doing the lords work.

Permaseed is the default. To disable perma-seed would be to set an upload limit, like a time amount or a ratio.

I run a ratio of 2:1 for most stuff

This is especially useful for Books. Small torrents are so hard to find. I perma seed books/audiobooks and copy to my slskd directory because they’re so hard.

Buy a pixel a or an older flagship.

8 pro, virtually identical to the 9 pro, is like $400 renewed on Amazon. It’ll be more powerful than your S8, but not that powerful overall. Not sure how it compares to an A series, worth looking in to.

GrapheneOS is the most stable OS I’ve ever used. I haven’t ever had any problems with it that wasn’t a result to its security features.

What are the transaction costs?

Is it to the point where I can feasibly purchase it with a credit card and spend it as Monero without paying 25% more?

If you’re using qbittorrent, looking into Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr. And maybe even jellyseerr and recyclarr if you want to get into it.

I mean, this is correct.

But this is a laptop. Probably just had laying around

At the very least, be sure to put your current library out on soulseek.

Not gonna lie, I’m considering paying for Deezer to move back to this.

You can automate downloads with Lidarr. I’m set up to download every song by every artist that Last.FM recommends.

Currently, I’m using Soularr, but it’s really slow and not always FLAC and not always full albums and the metadata is not always perfect.

As other’s have said Navidrome is the way to go. Not the most featureful, but it’s so much faster than every other solution that you make it work. It’s also very close to a huge update to support plugins and stuff.

I use the DSub app. Free from fdroid. Configured to download 10 songs in advance, for when I’m driving with spotty service, and download my favorites.

It also let’s you set different internal and external IP addresses, if you need that. I think most people do unless you run a DNS server.

Well my “Server” just a repurposed desktop with a headless debian install.

At the lower end, it’s a pretty rocky line. It’s easy to image a person who games during the day and torrents at night on the same machine. Or runs a plex server but only when they want to watch something while they sleep.

Spun it up. Works great. Thank you so much

I couldn’t figure out watchtower. I just made a script to pull and restart and scheduled it to run daily at midnight.

One of the gen 9 pokemon games. I think violet?

I was out with my wife’s family coordinating with my brother by text trying to get it downloaded.

For sure.

At some point, your services could easily warrent it. If you learn it early, it makes it much easier to organize your services and share them with others if you decide to.

Also, if you do decide to use a domain name, you probably won’t be able to use it internally to your network. If you use Adguard, you can use DNS rewrite to only direct your traffic to your server when you’re in your network.

Also, personally, I use nginx, but I’m more than happy to give you any advice on setup or reverse proxy.

I know you didn’t want to, but I’ll bet two navidrome instances will be faster and lighter than JF or Plex.
