Yea, after another hour today I've decided that my time is better spent elsewhere, so I'm just going to stick with Navidrome and not worry too much about losing out on the federated music idea for now.

I gave up on funk whale about 6 months ago and was loving navidrome, but hadn't realised the lack of library separation. Thankfully that doesn't bother me too much. I'll give this another go and see how I get on though if I can find some time over the weekend

I've got my instance of matrix working with voice calls. It's not built in, but it's just another service in my compose file alongside the bridges I use to have my unified chat app.

I'm using coturn and it just works when doing voice and video calls with federated users.

I think I've seen people using jitsi as well, so it seems there are many options available

I know it doesn't help you at the moment, but at some point between June last year and last week they've updated the kickstand to include an extra little crossbar up at the top of the metal u shaped piece of metal that makes up the stand so that you need to lose both pins for it to fall off now. (I ordered one last year and ordered a replacement kit for a 2nd steam deck that I've gifted to my wife) And I'm liking the look of the new design.

I'll see if I can take a photo later on and share it to explain as I suspect my words aren't doing a great job.

Edit: here's a quick photo I've taken to try to show the new crossbar thing in action.

Ah, thanks for correcting me there. I knew that EA were involved at some level and I didn't think to research that part of the post I was replying to, so I stand corrected, but I think the main point I was making is still valid, that the team that initially developed the game weren't behind this re-release.

The original was EA, this re-release is Aspyr, so as bad as EA are I'm not convinced that they're to blame here.

Oh, I'm fine with my setup, I have a couple of external servers that can monitor all my web accessible stuff with kuma and then I've got another local one to monitor my non-web accessible stuff.

Thanks for those tips though, definitely useful to consider other options

On the uptime monitoring I've been quite happy with uptime kuma, but... If you put it on the same host that's down... Well, that's not going to work :p (I nearly made that mistake)

Haha, that's fair. I was being sincere.

I'd initially scrolled past thinking "I played this whilst I was still at Uni, why is anyone talking about it now?"

Now that I know this person's focus is intentionally looking at older games I'm willing to go and give it a watch.

Thanks for that additional insight into this channel. This completely changes the way that I will now look at this content.

If the extra charger that covers with the official dock doesn't work to you (fair enough since you mention that portability is key) I backed the jsaux case on Kickstarter and am quite happy with us: https://jsaux.com/products/omnicase-2-storage-docking-station?variant=43986713772252

I got the pro version, but there's no reason that you can't get the standard one and it came with a nice little travel pouch, but I don't know if that covers with the ices you buy directly.

That sounds like a rather unpleasant experience indeed! I've never looked into it in more detail than scrolling through the lsio containers they offer, so thanks for that insight and saving me a headache in case I get around to a similar project I've also been meaning to embark upon

 

I've been using Cura as a slicer for my Anycubic Kobra since I got it a few months ago. After a few weeks I discovered octoprint which was amazing as it let me start and monitor print jobs whilst out and about.

Cura has been great for me but I'm growing tired of needing to copy my print profiles from machine to machine on different OSes to slice my STL files. Is anyone aware of any self hosted web based slicers I could use to sidestep this problem?

I would be willing to live without an octoprint plugin and manually download and upload the gcode files to my printer if needed, I just want to be able to slice from wherever I am and kick off the print from wherever I am.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
