Yeah I don’t want to use another app. Therefore I’ve subbed to Spotify premium and that works perfectly with Snapcast. Can use the Spotify app to play to all snapclient speakers.

Thanks! Yeah, saw there was a yt plugin but not for ytm. The plugin for ma is also a bit flaky and auths via cookies, so not proper auth.

I’ve subbed to Spotify and it works like a charm. Can select Snapcast directly from any Spotify app and then it plays on all snapclient speakers in sync.

Thanks! Yeah think YT music is going to be hard or impossible. Other than this, I like it better than Spotify.

Will have a look at those two options.

I’m using Kagi and can’t be happier.

Yes, but I think it’s because of OpenVino. Some other people with Intel HD using OpenVino had similar issues. I’ve just switched to another model based on this post.

It has integrated Intel graphics, not a separate GPU.

Yeah think I’ll get a standalone WiFi smart plug, not connected to my Home Assistant, as a kill switch. But you’re right, it’s overkill.

I found some weird things in the logs, this goes beyond my knowledge :( See https://lemmy.nz/comment/6192604

Yes, very good idea. I’ve got HA on a RPI so that should be easy.

That’s interesting! I’ve converted all my docker run commands to docker compose, as I found that easier to manage. But, I guess you can’t do the dependencies like you have. Also, yours has the advantage it always pulls the latest.

Awesome, yes, definitely will do. After years of using Linux, the whole systemd thing is still a bit of a black box to me. I know how to create /start/stop services etc but that’s about it. Thanks for the prompt replies!

Yeah I used /etc/fstab which are static mounts.

I switched to autofs and that seems to be much better, as it does the mounts “at runtime”, ie when requested.

Thanks! I’ve just set that up. That would seem to solve the solution, right, without reboots?

Sorry, I’m absolutely not a Linux expert :) I use /etc/fstab for the mounts, and to manually re-mount I run “mount -a”.

Yeah, saw them, but that’s over budget unfortunately. Thanks.

I haven’t done extensive research, but as it’s a paid product, they have the user’s interest in mind, instead of ad revenue.

I switched to DDG and then to Kagi based on all the praise it gets here. So much better than Google!

Thanks! Very helpful. Will give it some thoughts.

Thanks for the insights. I’m planning to import about 1.2Tb of photos… So RAM is most important? What about Intel gen? I’ve compared 4th and 8th gen in terms of cpu speed and 4th still scores well. Depends of course on exact cpu. 4th gen can be bought here for about a 5th of the price of an 8th…

42 yo here, same as you! I tried the game multiple times as everyone was raving about it. Got so frustrated with the bosses that I gave up.

Okay, good to know. Then I wouldn’t need an 8th gen, a 4th gen with a Coral pcie should be better I believe. Much cheaper too.
