For those that don't know, you can use three numbers, zero through eight, with the chmod command. it takes the binary of each digit to set the permissions.

$ chmod 644
 6  |  4  |  4
110 | 100 | 100
rw- | r-- | r--

The developer has hit a bit of a roadblock reworking a back-end system and is requesting help, but it has a great feature set already and is super customisable.

How's the tagging when converting over to Opus?

I assume it supports the basics like Album and Artists but what about tags like embedded lyrics or ReplayGain?

I have several terabytes of free space on my server so I have no issue sacrificing a few gigs to have the lossy archive be portable and independent of the music software.

It gives me the freedom to drop the lossy archive to whatever device I want (SyncThing to make it automatic and wireless) and use whatever music play I choose.

I could, and have thought about, switching the script to use hardlinks for the MP3s which means the only storage used is for the transcoded MP3s. Plus it would get rid of the requirement to sync any updated MP3s from the original archive to the lossy one, the hardlinks would just update with the original.

I do something very similar. I have all my music on a network share with a playlist folder inside. I run a script that copies all the lines from an .m3u playlist file and copies them to another music folder inside my user folder, converting any FLAC files along the way.

I then user SyncThing to synchronize that folder with my phone. Makes it super easy to get all my music and playlists when I upgrade to a new phone.

a = *lines from playlist file*
new = *destinationFolder*
# If the mp3 version of the flac is older than the flac or doesn't exist in the destination,
# convert it from Flac to variable bitrate mp3
  if [ "$a" -nt "${new[@]/%flac/mp3}" ]; then
    echo Converting $a
    ffmpeg -y -i "$a" -qscale:a 0 "${new[@]/%flac/mp3}"
  fi

There's some cleaning and other steps done but I'm willing to share or provide more details if anyone is interested.

After your alarm goes off... You turn it off.

The instructions for a bare-metal install are there.

I've really fallen in love with the Aves gallery app. It's finally got me started with organising and tagging my photos.

Another recommendation, especially for addresses and points of interest, is https://every-door.app/

It's not as pretty as StreetConplete but it's fine to work with.

I'm curious what this has to do with technology.

And the game of 20 questions commences.

But it's actually 50 questions and then turns out they were talking about something completely different.
