I’m at the age that the first train to the event being full is enough to make me go home.

To all the people who bought anything from Sony after the 2005 rootkit fiasco: what the hell did you expect?

Please provide any input or alternative options on this,

The post asked for alternative options. I suggested an alternative option. It is not knee-jerk, and it is not noise.

Alternative: make a separate “selfhosted-ai” community for the sloperators.

Working at home: mpd + ncmpc on my personal laptop.

At the office: mpd + malp on my phone.

No streaming. I buy CDs and vinyl and rip them and download live recordings, and only listen to entire albums or concerts.

ssh -L 1234:localhost:1234 remote_server binds the RPi’s localhost:1234 to remote_server’s localhost:1234. You want to bind the port to something on the RPi that the TV can hit, so something like ssh -L 192.168.1.5:1234:localhost:1234 remote_server, where 192.168.1.5 is the RPi’s address.

I think you also want -N on the ssh command.

Can you provide more detail? What are the networks/routers/vlans? Which network is the RPi on? What is your ssh command? Is that ufw command on the RPi or the router?

Github is like the Microsoft of 3rd party forges.

“self hosting is important because …”

Uses github.

If you run your own mail server and set up everything correctly, including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, most major providers will still either silently drop your messages or always mark them as spam, unless you pay money for a relay (e.g.: postmarkapp.com).

I have had my domain for 20 years and IP for years, and set up everything correctly, and Microsoft and Google rarely accepted my messages.
