Love that for you.

However, that is not everyone’s experience and doesn’t really answer op’s question.

Not false, and shame on you for suggesting it.

I not only disagree, but sincerely hope you aren’t encouraging anyone to look up information using an LLM.

LLMs are toys right now.

Well, you’re certainly in the minority.

If you follow lidarr’s methods on cataloguing your music, sure. But most of us have developed our own way to organize music and lidarr blows at handling these:

• concert albums
• bootleg
• international releases with different track listings than north american version
• custom mp3 fields
• certain artwork
• playlists
• cddb tagged music (yes, even pulling the music directly from a disc.)
• flac album-year and album-artist tags
• multi-disc albums
• electronic music
• vinyl music tagged with picard

And god forbid you give lidarr free reign on your collection, it will start renaming, re-downloading and replacing music, essentially destroying your collection.

The problem is that there really isn’t a standard way to categorize music, but lidarr wants to impose one.

It is not a search box. It generates words we know are confidently wrong quite often.

“Asking” gpt is like asking a magic 8 ball; it’s fun, but it has zero meaning.

I don’t understand the willingness to forgive error … Would you go to a person if you knew for a fact that 1 of 5 things they say is wrong?

Good reply, we’ve all been there. Hope your next disks survive their journey.

You’re perceiving some kind of blame from those users asking, but tbh you didn’t make your situation clear in your original post and they’re fair questions.

And I’ll echo most here and suggest you stop buying from that provider. It seems like the obvious choice. NewEgg isn’t exactly the paragon of customer service.

OK, I respect your opinion.

I’m coming from a place of administering a server and I attest to this:

• Minecraft players want their particular mods on their particular seed, they don’t see value in armadillos and whatever other nonsense MS is “releasing”.
• most of my player base has moved on to Vintage Story because Minecraft itself is stagnating like counterstrike did. And now we have the same situation CS had, where there’s a huge base of mc players who are stuck on old versions because, let’s be honest, Minecraft is stale AF under microsoft.
• just because modern hardware is better at running vanilla doesn’t mean paper won’t run even better.

Try paper or fabric, add Aikar’s Flags (https://docs.papermc.io/paper/aikars-flags) and marvel at the high ticks!

Because paper and others don’t run like garbage, unlike vanilla MC.

Finally moved all my lxc onto a lower-power Xeon D host, consumes 1/3 the electricity of my previous Dell R430, same essential performance.

Hmm… Let me look.

Edit: each instance gets 50gb boot volume, I can log in and confirm if you like.

24gb memory and 4 OCPU . the CPU doesnt sound like much, but if its using the ampere back end and not the amd micro, the CPU performance scales up with demand (to a point).

I have two containers running, one using 16gb memory and another using 4gb, they each have one cpu and they perform fine for what they do.

No.

Credit card? Have things changed? I have two containers hosted there and I never gave mine.

Exactly! Get music, tag with Picard, least work.

I don’t really blame Lidarr devs, though. Music is a difficult problem to solve because the media itself is too loosely standardised. And with good reason; everyone’s workflow with music is different.

From my experience with sonarr and radarr, I thought lidarr would be great, but it’s garbage.

Bandcamp isn’t what it used to be, apparently there’s a better service for music now, I’m sorry I can’t recall the name.

Navidrome should serve you well for Spotify replacement. It uses the subsonic api, so you can use any app that supports that, and there are many.

Regarding sync phone with server, you might want some thing like synching or nextcloud with a local player on your phone. My music collection is 1.5TB, so I simply stream and have only a few select albums downloaded locally on the phone.

Yes, more control over what happens between server/client. Sorry, that wasnt clear.

Immich aims to be a google photos replacement, which has this function built in.

Now, I don’t care if it works only one way, but it should be clear.

I love immich. I just wish for two things:

• synchronised deletes on client server
• the edit tools on mobile to actually work on the photo at hand instead of creating a new photo with new metadata. May as well not have the tools, tbh.

I would argue that logrotate was the ABC of any sysadmin in 2005, but today that should be a solved problem, whether in docker or bare metal.
