They smashed it out of the park on 2/3 hardware announcements. Let them have their weird, fat controller.

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

@ezraboeth.com They make their money on hardware and walled garden experience. Apple Music is a first party product with a captive userbase, why would they need to provide a quality *public* api?

It really is maddening. multi-scrobbler has this *mostly* solved because Youtube Music does the same thing (but due to it being scraped from browser). I ended up using the polling interval plus some list diffing logic to determine "scrobbled at" timestamp. github.com/FoxxMD/multi...

Kudos to @mmatt.net and the @teal.fm team for eating the cost for a developer account and (eventually) implementing a (free?) api middleman to retrieve users history.

The other issue is that apple music history doesn't apply to radio, podcasts, and doesn't include timestamps...😬

For multi-scrobbler specifically, no. Turns out it's *really hard* to use the Apple Music API as a one-off/in a self-hosted environment. It's been attempted [several times](github.com/FoxxMD/multi...) but the hurdles are high.

I'm all-in on Komodo (7 servers, 78 stacks, builds, deployments, actions...) let me know if you have any questions about it

I know docker isn't the *only* way to distribute apps but when I see a self-hosted server app launch *without* a docker build it's a 🚩🚩🚩 that the author doesn't understand the community or doesn't care enough and is only using it as a marketing tool.

Excellent writeup on "sketchy" flags to watch out for in apps that present themselves as "self-hosted" ready

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

Even cooler! Near null island, there's a set of points shaped like the US (you can see Florida in the lower right.) But when you zoom out, they're off the coast of Liberia, exactly where they'd be if the latitude and longitude were both divided by 10 (eg so NYC is at 4.1, -7.4 instead of 40.7, -74).

Have you used it on mobile yet? I was in the same boat until it ate up my battery on Android.

@jeffgeerling.com Whatever happened to that stolen radio tower you and your dad covered last year?

Cool! Ive been checking on it periodically ever since you posted it on Reddit back in 2015ish? And we're still hurting for good FFT successors to this day 🥲 I imagine GS is in the "old projects" bin at this point but I hope you are doing well!

It's an interesting idea which I could se being useful for simpler content but for full-fledged posts it's missing too many features to replace my existing setup. TOC, richer code snippets, dark themes, admonitions, analytics...
