Sure its a catalog of your local media served via an API, with metadata enrichment, built in transcoding (hardware support too) and multiple user support (watch history, recommendations etc).

Its not just a web app, I would say most dont use the web app directly, instead they provide clients (Android/iOS/Roku/AndroidTV/WebOS/Tizen) that are in official app stores. This is the big thing for me, being able to just install the client on your TV and not worry about it is great.

Often the clients are just wrappers of the web client with native integrations, but they work well.

Plus there are loads of 3rd party plugins to extend it, and alternate clients, Im a fan of https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin for music duties personally.

I wouldn't go so far as efforts, so much as legally required publication of 3rd party code they use, or open wrappers to their proprietary libraries

I've moved over to ListenBrainz, it's quite nice and I like that the data is open and not trying to be monitized

Ive noticed every vibecoded website looks the same, or similar to this one.

Why is it? Does this style have a name?

This is interesting to see and shows the beauty of open source: if you want GTK2 to be alive, you can put in the effort to revive it.

This being Devuan it is driven by those pesky Debian devs removing GTK2

Debian is not the only distro doing this. A few months ago, Arch Linux

removed GTK 2 from its official (non-AUR) repositories [1]. RHEL 10 was

released earlier in 2025 without GTK 2.

gtk3 was released 15 years ago. Debian has had the stable 3.24 series

for more than 7 years.

The announcement[0] has a quite long list of packages still using it.

Was so refreshing to read some human generated content

Hard to tell if this is so hard to read because it is LLM generated, or because its is hollow "thought leadership" with no insight.

Unsure if there is no astroturfing rule for HN, but this is pretty blatant.

Yes

Ouch, that is huge. I assumed this was more like 10%

Most interesting here is the possibility of Arm64 Widewine libraries appearing?

I wish they would hurry up and ship my TRMNL X please

Sounds fun!

Another option out there is "UUID47" which uses siphash[0]

Oracle were 40B in profit in 2024.

Now they are out raising debt (again) and equity too, to fund DCs and hardware with no proven return.

I cannot comprehend it.

Play premier instead! I suck and have hugh trust so I never see any cheaters.

What is happening USA. Please stop.

"It Hurt Itself in Its Confusion!"

I saw a comment in a "I moved from Windows to Linux" thread implying Windows has more configuration potential than Linux. I wonder what that commenter would make of Gentoo.

I wish I had more time I could dedicate to maintaining my system, I'm marooned on Arch due to lack of time, such a shame.

Wait Corey Quinn is on El Reg now? That's awesome

Vibe coding the tool to remove the vibes from text is kind of beautiful really

ProtonVPN free tier is great

On size limited platforms like steam deck and friends this is a huge W

Remember this not a billion dollar company we are talking about here, this is volunteer OSS project. If no one wants to maintain the X11 support then that's up to them.

My issue is that the quality of the macos UI is degrading over time. They can't even get rounding consistent, not quite at windows levels of mismatching yet though.

Also no one bothers making the beautiful native apps now, everything is electron, which is equally inconsistent everywhere.

So I think the advantage over time Vs a Linux system is diminishing... Slowly.

That is pretty impressive.

So impressive it makes you wonder if someone has noticed it being used a benchmark prompt.

Beets can do this too!

The -C option to avoid copying files and the -W option to prevent writing tags (or set it in the config file)

It will still attempt to match and store the results in its DB for later writing to files, or moving, or querying.

For the data to be most useful, you will need a client that connect to Beets to get the data though, Im not sure how prevelant those are. You can use the web-ui plugin though.

A few people commenting that some of their collection "doesn't exist in any DB", the best way to fix it is to add it to Musicbrainz[0] yourself!

I have found that adding things to Musicbrainz is actually pretty easy (and if you are so inclined like me, pretty rewarding and fun).

Streaming releases (and Bandcamp) you simply drop the release URL into Harmony[1] and it does most of the work for you.

Musicbrainz can represent nearly everything musically related and its all freely licensed, a very cool thing to exist.

Most (non-destructive) edits are auto-applied, whilst the rest go through a 7 day voting period (they are still applied by default unless someone votes against). The barrier to entry is very low.

Bold to move away from both of the things that contributed to their success initially (mkdocs, material design) at once.

Prime time to build an AM4 system!

Oh man, as a casual Musicbrainz contributor, we need to get these added/linked

Anywhere other than us-east-1 in my experience is rock solid.
