Vampire for Slayer Hire

It’s actually 60% ($4.79) right on Steam. Snatching this up today!

They’ve been changing their terms of service over the past year with some shady stuff and have continuously screwed over creators. I’m planning on yanking my music out of there too.

This explains a bit more

Anyone have suggestions for an iOS media player I can connect to a setup like this?

Love Unraid. Been using it for a few years now on an old Dell server. I’m about to transform my current gaming PC into the main server so I can utilize the GPU pass-through and CPU pinning for things like running a VM just for LLM/AI and a VM for EndeavourOS for gaming. I just need to figure out how to keep my old server somehow working still bc of all the drive storage I have already setup, which my PC doesn’t have space for without a new case.

For anyone looking to setup Unraid, I highly recommend the SpaceInvaderOne YouTube channel. It helped tremendously when I got started.

As a music artist and software engineer, I wish more self hosted options were accessible. I’ve tried and stopped a few times to build an open source platform like that but there’s always some kind of software knowledge needed, whether it be just for deploying. Faircamp is a really neat project, but it’s not really accessible to most artists. Till then I think Bandcamp is the best option.

For me personally, I’m no longer planning to release music to most of the streaming services. It’ll be either sold directly on my website using Stripe for payments or via Bandcamp.

There are ways import downloaded music to local libraries on apps like Spotify which helps a bit. But still an inconvenience for the average fan of music that just wants to search or discover and hit play.

Yeah, this is that.

It blows my mind how many of the MAGA/Qanon folks openly talk shit about Jews with comments about things like “Jewish Space Lasers” and whatnot, and it’s perfectly acceptable. Anyone with a shade darker than white or not in that camp opposes an actual genocide, and they’re a terrorist. I know I know, rules for thee not for me bs. It’s just exhausting. And any attempt to try to point this out to MAGAts is pointless.

Those rosaries are really gonna help him get out of this.

What the absolute flying fuck…

PyCharm is a solid choice. It just works. But if you’re open to another editor, take a look at Zed. It has python support too. It’s super snappy and way less bloated than the others.

Isn’t this kinda how the SS came to be?

Thanks for this!! I became spoiled with Arc’s UI, but it’s a Chrome based browser. This looks like it’s the same experience without the bs.

Tbh I didn’t even mind what the bot was trying to do. I just remember opening what felt like every post and seeing dozens of lines taken up by the bot. I ended up just blocking it and cross-referencing with ground news myself.

I’ve been using Netlify for smaller apps, but lately Railway has been my go to. Pretty cheap too and it covers mostly everything you’ll need to deploy app regardless of language or framework. Their UI makes it all very easy to manage with the “nodes”.

Both of those services (as do most) give you the option to load environment variables onto the app itself.

So the process is normally this: You have env vars you’re using locally like API tokens that you’re putting in your .env during development. Now you’re ready to deploy. Because you’ve gitignored that file locally, you don’t have to worry about secrets being in your code base, but also, because they’re environment variables, you’re framework will see those variables available in the “box”.

Ultimately, there’s no difference between having stuff in your local .env and injected by a service during deployment. Just make sure the env var keys are the same in each case.

Hope that’s not too confusing. If so, I’m happy to clarify anything.

EDIT: also wanna add that Supabase isn’t that bad. It helps you know exactly what you need it to provide for you and then start searching away to see how to slowly put together each of those pieces. With them, I usually start with the Auth stuff, then move on to my database and storage. Functions last if the project calls for them. There’s quite a bit of info out there if you know specifically what you’re wanting to solve at the moment.

You don’t really need to know a specific language to self-host anything. But things like YAML, JSON, Docker, and some networking basic will go a long way.

If I could do anything different though, it would definitely be to write more documentation. Document the steps taking setting things up, log notes on when you have to fix something, archive webpages and videos that you used along the way. Currently doing that myself now after some time self-hosting.

Most counties offer this. It’s a truly unknown and underused service. Even if you don’t have a truck, you can rent a U-Haul truck and it would still be way cheaper than bags of compost/soil.

I found out about it when studying for the Master Gardner program. For anyone interested in the US, call your local Extensions office and they’ll point you in the right direction.
