This will not be a fork of OpenRGB. While I plan to take a huge chunk of it (the reversed generiert device protocols)

How about opening an issue on OpenRGB asking what you need and why, maybe it can be abstracted away, headless, and that architecture change could be useful for them and other projects too then?

You can do that part yourself and let other use that new tool as their dependency but it means you’ll have to keep it up to date against OpenRGB itself as it supports more devices just because of its popularity.

Why fork OpenRGB rather than make it a dependency?

You are leaving your comfort zone for something new and that’s difficult for everybody, so kudos. Consequently my only advice is to take time to learn how it works and accept limitations.

Switch workplace.

There are countless ways to bypass that (e.g. https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-webtop/ running on a server) but honestly if a workplace does not value your expertise to hone your own tools, they don’t really value you as an employee.

lol, sorry but in what world do you live in? NONE of the OS “just works”.

I’m sorry but this is such a trope. I watched someone using an up to date iOS phone. That thing is LOCKED down to no end, countless people claim that Apple are some kind of UX geniuses … well you look somebody trying to do anything as complex as watching a video on this and it’s a damn struggle.

Sorry for going on a rant here but the very concept is a lie. It’s like Windows being easier to use, it’s absolutely not BUT people have trained, at school (sigh) or at work, on how to use it. They somehow “forget” that they went through hours or even days of training and somehow they believe it feels “natural”. That’s entirely dishonest but why do I insist on this so much? Because it’s unfair to then compare Linux distributions to things that do not exist!

What “just works” but STILL is not perfect or flawless, is SteamOS on the SteamDeck not due to any “magic” from Valve but rather because :

• the hardware is very limited (basically selected to work well for it)
• the use case is very limited (start Steam, play)

and as soon as one start to tinker with SteamOS on SteamDeck by replacing part, adding USB-C devices, remote the r/w restriction on the OS, etc then again “just works” becomes “worked at some point”.

How I interpret this :

• Oh no, the very trend and thus powerful corporations are doing something stupid that does not work, let’s copy them!

instead of just watch the sideline as they keep on pouring more resources with nothing to show for it except the buzz they keep so hard on trying to maintain.

Step 1 : don’t.

Why even a phone then? I’m not being facetious here it’s actually a follow up on https://lemmy.ml/post/42255169/23589434 namely what do you actually need a phone for?

Maybe you are used to it and it’s convenient for a lot of things you do. But do you actually need one, especially knowing that it’s a legitimate threat to you?

How about no phone but a small laptop or tablet with SIM as USB dongle?

So… I’m kind of in the same situation but mine is actually by mistake. Namely my SIM somehow (OK maybe I tinkered with eSIM a bit much… anyway) works for data and SMS but not for calls. I tried to fix it a bit… then honestly I like it without. Most of the calls I received are not important, nor urgent, and the few that are can leave a message or an SMS.

I stopped relying on my phone for calls entirely and I like it.

When I tell people it doesn’t work they just shrug it off and always find a way to contact me without making a big deal out of it.

I still like having a SIM though if only to

• check where I am on a path the first time I get there
• know if the person I’m meeting might be late
• warn if I’m late on the way to somewhere

but typically my phone works well entirely offline (e.g. I do not stream music, I have actual files on my phone) so I understand.

Honestly in your shoes I’d gauge the person, if they are potentially interesting enough to explore the topic with curiosity, I’d be honest. If I just want to move on because they seem obtuse I’d keep it to the minimum.

Ooh didn’t know about it, thanks!

You’d have settings for when to stop seeding, e.g. 1:1 ratio minimum, duration of the track xN, etc with a reasonable default. Suggestions welcomed.

I would recommend against a new player when existing scriptable ones like vlc and mpv already exist.

Instead what I would do is a plugin for either, eventually repackaged as its own player (if somehow installing the script itself is too much for some) for which the script would

• include a very small torrent client
• point that client to the torrent (which AFAICT is still not public, so for now a reconfigurable URL)
• include a search function that when it fails, proposes to search within the trimmed cleaned torrent metadata then does the torrent download then plays.

• stop the container (safer)
• scp only its mounted directory once to the target, via ssh key (no password)
• next time rsync instead to add only the new files, ideally via a crontab script

On the RPi microSD, on a USB stick, on a SSD,… entirely up what you have available and what you need.

Immich fits on a RPi so not sure one needs a lot of memory for that.

AFAICT it relies on https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git/blob/HEAD:/libavfilter/vf_scdet.c

Neat, made me curious, seems to rely on https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#scdet-1

There are actual radios, like FIP.fr or plenty of other ones that just give you the m3u8 and their playlist. It’s not federated but it’s less centralized than most platforms like SoundCloud or Apple Music.

If you do want a specific song and album you can pay for it via BandCamp and get the actual file, DRM free, to play on any device.

If you do want a song or album it BandCamp does not have, or you already have a copy of, e.g. physical CD, and you want something less centralize SoulSeek still works.

PS: I have been running my own PeerTube instance for years now but I don’t use it for music, just videos.
