Why are you still burning CDs?

I think the second guy had it backwards.

Nearly half of foster children in the US become homeless when they reach the age of 18

You can get the streams in the form of a playlist file.

Attach it to any subsonic player. Or probably VLC

It seems to go along popularity lines. I have never heard of this phone.

Yes it is. PITA to work within your own network.

I run a DNS server for this purpose.

I wanted a taskbar button for Navidrome at work. This is so I could quickly find my music in between the several open Firefox windows.

As the IT admin, I could've installed this. But I knew I REALLY shouldn't. It needed administrator rights, and I had no idea how secure it was.

So instead I used Brave for Navidrome PWA. Brave was installed as local user, so it couldn't bring down my entire organization if it got my password.

Now I'll be able to switch back.

You can do DDNS for free, using a client app on your server, rather than router.

I use cloudflare-ddns

I'm not asking for much! Android Music app (requirements below) in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

As other's have said Navidrome is the way to go. Not the most featureful, but it's so much faster than every other solution that you make it work. It's also very close to a huge update to support plugins and stuff.

I use the DSub app. Free from fdroid. Configured to download 10 songs in advance, for when I'm driving with spotty service, and download my favorites.

It also let's you set different internal and external IP addresses, if you need that. I think most people do unless you run a DNS server.

Murena, Volla or other open source smartphones suggestions? in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] butter@midwest.social 2 points 4 months ago

Personally, I'm watching Volla.

Volla supports dual boot. Android and Ubuntu. Play with Ubuntu, work with Android.

Praise-post for OpenMW for android (midwest.social)
 

I'm playing for the first time in my life now.

I've recently had my first kid, and as such, I need a game that I can quickly pick up and put down. Ideally, the game is also playable in long form as well.

Enter openmw for android. The only on screen controls that have ever been usable. Convenient quick save. Minimal load times.

I can hop on, play a little, and get off in a hurry if I need to. I thought I'd be stuck playing old Pokemon ROMs with save states until she hit an age of independence.

It was such a good episode, though

How it feels as an iOS user right now in c/memes@lemmy.ml

Most of this community came from reddit. This is only as stupid as if the upvote arrow is red or orange.

In Ohio, you and your spouse share an FMLA pool for children if work together (midwest.social)
 

Just a heads up, if you're looking to have children in Ohio. If you and your spouse work at the same place, your company can give you a shared FMLA pool, rather than two separate pools. Not sure if this is a common rule, across the country. And obviously your company can give you more as they see fit.

The company my wife and I work lets us take 2 weeks off with no approval needed, which is what I'll do, and I'm giving my wife the 12 weeks of FMLA. I only have 2 weeks vacation time, so if I took any more, I'd start eating my cash.
