Poor Man Media Server
Posted on January 9, 2025
Tags: madeof:atoms
Some time ago I installed minidlna on our media server: it was pretty easy to do, but quite limited in its support for the formats I use most, so I ended up using other solutions such as mounting the directory with sshfs.
Now, doing that from a phone, even a pinephone running debian, may not be as convenient as doing it from the laptop where I already have my ssh key :D and I needed to listed to music from the pinephone.
So, in anger, I decided to configure a web server to serve the files.
I installed lighttpd because I already had a role for this kind of configuration in my ansible directory, and configured it to serve the relevant directory in /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/20-music.conf:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "music.example.org" {
server.name = "music.example.org"
server.document-root = "/path/to/music"
}the domain was already configured in my local dns (since everything is only available to the local network), and I enabled both
20-music.conf and 10-dir-listing.conf.And. That’s it. It works. I can play my CD rips on a single flac exactly in the same way as I was used to (by ssh-ing to the media server and using alsaplayer).
Then this evening I was talking to normal people1, and they mentioned that they wouldn’t mind being able to skip tracks and fancy things like those :D and I’ve found one possible improvement.
For the directories with the generated single-track ogg files I’ve added some playlists with the command ls *.ogg > playlist.m3u, then in the directory above I’ve run ls */*.m3u > playlist.m3u and that also works.
With vlc I can now open music.example.org/band/album/p…to listen to an album that I have in ogg, being able to move between tracks, or I can open music.example.org/band/playlis… and in the playlist view I can browse between the different albums.
Left as an exercise to the reader2 are writing a bash script to generate all of the playlist.m3u files (and running it via some git hook when the files change) or writing a php script to generate them on the fly.

Confy 0.8.0
Hey! Confy 0.8.0 has been released!
In this release :
- Updated UI to latest Adwaita widgets and style
- An handy list of latest opened conferences at start (and in application menu)
- Talks list grouping can be set by user. Is there a multi-room track and you want to group the list of talks by room? Now you can!
- Fixed and enhanced XML parsing for past events (I know... better later than never!), eg: try to not panic on not expected date formats, try to handle completely different xml structures, extract and show speakers avatar if available. Man, I love the ever changing world of unstandardized XML schedule format!
Updated screenshots on official home page:
confy.kirgroup.net/
and in your nearest appstream-enabled appstore!
I would like to thank everyone who helped with code, tickets, distro packaging and general moral support :)

Yesterday afternoon as I was brewing some tea my mind suddenly was reminded of the word “eidolon”.
I still have no idea what it was about.
The first and seventh of four? A metal band I've never really listened? Some other kind of ghost or idol?

@David de Groot ecco, devo ammettere che non la percepivo come parola inglese

There was a pile of IKEA instructions, the one of top read SKADIS, but while passing nearby my mind read TARDIS.
And @Diego Roversi worried about it, and apparently doesn't trust me with assembling a TARDIS because he's afraid of the extent of what can possibly go wrong in case of a small error assembling it.

meanwhile, in #bakingPeopleProblems, it has been too long since I last made my favourite #bread, and I can't remember whether the measurements on the recipe printouts, which are already higher than the original ones, are for two or four pieces.
And I have enough sourdough for double that amount. And I'm not sure whether my machine can deal with 2.4 kg of flour. But that's a problem for tomorrow me.
Also a problem for tomorrow me: I am sure I don't have enough pieces of white fabric to wrap the dough while it's rising, in case I end up accidentally making 8 pieces. (and my stock of fabric is elsewhere).
Intanto, nella categoria #ProblemiDiChiPanifica, è passato troppo tempo dall'ultima volta che ho fatto il mio #pane preferito, e non mi ricordo se le dosi appuntate sulla stampa della ricetta (che sono già più alte delle originali) sono per due o quattro pezzi.
E ho abbastanza lievito madre per raddoppiarle. E non sono sicura che l'impastatrice regga 2.4 kg di farina. Ma quello è un problema per domani.
Un altro problema per domani: sono sicura di non avere abbastanza pezzi di stoffa bianca in cui avvolgere 8 pezzi a lievitare, nel caso io abbia per sbaglio quadruplicato la dose. (e le mie scorte di stoffa sono altrove)

and it's confirmed, the corrected recipe was already for 4 loaves, and I doubled it.
the machine managed it without too much effort (but I had to take some out of the bowl to rise, or it would have expanded everywhere in the kitchen)
I found enough pieces of canvas to wrap the 7 loaves I made, 4 plain and 3 with fruit (fresh apples, dried apricots, raisins)
This afternoon the oven will work overtime :D
confermato che la ricetta corretta era già per 4 ciabatte, e l'ho raddoppiata.
l'impastatrice ce l'ha fatta senza grossi problemi (ma ho dovuto poi toglierne metà dalla ciotola per lievitare, o si sarebbe allargato per tutta la cucina)
Ho trovato abbastanza teli per avvolgere le 7 ciabatte che ho fatto, 4 liscie e 4 con la frutta (mele fresche, albicocche essicate, uvetta)
Oggi pomeriggio il forno farà gli straordinari :D

@Sini Tuulia there will be :D
and it's not even a type that is great for freezing
still problems for later me!

Yesterday our culturally-significant-movies watching group met to watch en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chri…
And we all agreed that it's a shame that it's not more widely known, and if anybody has an operating system project that needs a name, an homage to this movie may be worth considering.

Ieri il nostro gruppo cineforum per film di rilevanza culturale si è incontrato per guardare en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chri…
E siamo stati tutti d'accordo che sia un peccato che quel film non sia maggiormente conosciuto, e se qualcuno sta scrivendo un sistema operativo e gli manca il nome, pensare ad un omaggio a quel film potrebbe non essere una cattiva idea.

aaaargh, my clit has broken!
I touch it, and rather than getting the proper feedback and movement, I see the pointer jumping a bit around the screen and then it gets stuck on the left side of the screen

Dear european¹ craftingverse,
I'd like to put a #pegboard in my sewing room.
The local hardware stores sell the metal ones, and they have holes at an odd distance that I suspect is some absurd amount like one and a half inch or something, sometimes with two additional smaller holes in between.
Then there is the SKÅDIS line from IKEA, where the holes are at a decent and proper distance of 4 cm, but
a) they are made of particleboard instead of metal
b) I'd be afraid of getting stuck into an ikea-only standard
Are there other places that sell metric-based pegboards?
Is there something else I should consider?
Am I overthinking the whole thing?
¹ I'd prefer² any product recommendation to be available from a shop in the eurozone
² as in, I will just ignore anything else :D

(and no, I can't use the time I use to handsew garments: that's usually the kind of time when it would be pretty unsafe for me to be around any kind of power tools, be it a drill or a sewing machine)
(and that's one of the reasons why handsewing is great: it fills that kind of time when want to do stuff, but aren't able to do anything that requires more than a modicum of concentration)
Intanto, quando c'è LEI i treni viaggiano in anticipo!
e no, non mi risulta che sia *partito*, è solo l'orario in cui il treno prima (RE 2516) da Milano a Porto Ceresio è arrivato a Gallarate. e lì si è fermato in attesa di ripartire, causa guasto ad uno scambio

e poi c'è la soluzione ai problemi di @LaVi e @Fabio : tornare ai cavalli!
(tecnicamente sta parlando della linea dello stato¹, non di quella delle nord¹ da saronno, ma il problema è sempre quello)
“Superata poi appena che si abbia la suddetta spartizion d’acqua a fianco della Camerlata, il terreno discende rapidamente verso il lago di Como, e qui è dove le difficoltà per la costruzione dell’ideata rotaja non sono veramente nè poche, nè piccole qualora si volesse continuare a servirsi delle macchine locomotive per il trasporto delle merci e dei passeggieri nel ritorno dal lago di Como alla Camerlata; ma postochè si offre per quest’ultima tratta di strada di ferro l’ovvio ripiego di servirsi dei cavalli in vece del vapore, mentre l’uso dei cavalli per l’attiraglio dei carri e delle carrozze sulle rotaje di ferro comporta pendenza e curve assai maggiori, almeno nello stato attuale di perfezionamento delle macchine locomotive inglesi, e così permettono di non allungarne di troppo la linea con molti giri per andare a spianarsi colla strada di ferro sotto il livello del pelo basso del lago di Como.”

yesterday evening I had to stop playing wesnoth (Son of the Black Eye) in the middle of a scenario because it was bedtime.
“The problem here is that there is some *scum* that is not worth living! And that their skulls are still inside their heads, attached to their bodies, instead of being made into cups!
“And if I want to use those cups to drink mint cordial, that's my own business!
“You know what? I'm going to order those skulls made into a *tea*set*! A fancy tea set, with its own wicker basket, lined with checked fabric, to carry on campaign!”
and @Diego Roversi didn't even bother deigning me with a “yes dear”

Ieri sera ho dovuto interrompere uno scenario di wesnoth (Son of the Black Eye) a metà, perché era ora di andare a dormire.
“Il problema è che c'è della *feccia* che non è degna di vivere! E che i loro teschi sono ancora dentro alle loro teste, attaccate al loro corpo, anziché in lavorazione per diventare delle tazze!
“E se in quelle tazze voglio bere un cordiale alla menta sono fatti miei!
“Anzi, sai cosa? Darò l'ordine con quei teschi di fare delle *tazze da té*! Un bel servizio da té elegante, con il suo cestino di vimini foderato di stoffa a quadretti, da portarmi durante le campagne!”

In a while we're probably going to live in a house with AC (as well as radiator-based heating)
This morning as I was watching @Diego Roversi get dressed at a record-setting speed I asked “so, what are we going to do? turn the bedroom AC on for 10 minutes in the morning to get dressed? It's probably not going to be worth the effort, is it?”
his answer: “yes.”

Però il cappello, fateci caso, la testa è sempre calda, quindi perde molto calore.
@Rinaldo Giorgetti @Spazio ☮️🌈📖 @Diego Roversi @Luca Sironi già, però sulla mia testa ci sono anche i capelli lunghi, che un po' aiutano a trattenere il calore

(to pay for services, not for black-friday goods)
(and for services that we had booked at the beginning of the month, way before the strike for today had been announced, and they had legal deadlines (one tomorrow and one two weeks ago - uoooops), so we couldn't just rebook them out of solidarity)

mi sono accorta di essermi dimenticata di assaggiare il campione di Gold Blend McEntee: quando ho aperto la busta le foglie avevano quasi profumo di caffé
poi avevo bisogno urgente di un té e quindi ho sbagliato a puntare il timer e non so quanto tempo sia rimasto in infusione, per cui non posso ancora fare confronti con gli altri (uooops, fortuna che il campione non è monodose), ma in generale sembra approvato anche questo, nella categoria amari e risveglianti.

After four days on and off of building ikea furniture (on the floor, of course), as I was walking up the stairs my legs had an union meeting and started to make demands.
I told them that I can't give them a pay rise, but I suggested a significant reduction in working hours (for the same pay, of course), and they haven't started a strike yet.
We are still negotiating about a warm shower.

I've just declared sock mending bankruptcy.

* darning them is basically useless: as soon as they have been darned they break somewhere else
* patching them with bits of other socks works, but takes some effort and I have a years-long backlog. really. it's a huge bag and I'm not going to go through it ever, and there are others in various piles around the house

@MaialeCosmico no, no, le lavastoviglie sono fatte apposta per pulire piatti e pentole *sporchi*, lavarli prima è uno spreco (e leggevo in giro che rischia pure di essere controproducente).
ovviamente se ci sono sopra pezzi grossi vengono tirati via con una forchetta o simili a secco.
