One thing i haven't done but i know some people like is getting song recommendations. Ive heard some success in using listenbrainz for that. Might be worth checking out if you want to still get recommendations. Navidrome scrobbling

Im on wayland and don't recall having an issue with audacity since i switched to Linux over a year ago fwiw. It's been a few months since i did anything serious with it but a year ago i did initially record ~100 hours of audio on it for a project

Well of the major options out there that's not github you're looking at gitlab, forgejo/codeberg, or sourcehut. Sourcehut is the most minimalistic UI so you may love it or hate it. Otherwise i personally would value open source over UI which is why i use codeberg.

This is what I use, and then in my waybar I have a volume control that lets me right click to switch between speakers and headphones as my output device, middle click to mute current output device, and use scroll wheel to increase/decrease audio of selected output.

I use that lyrics plugin and it works great. Basically you just enable it in navidrome and in your configuration you set the lyrics priority. I have it set so its lrc -> txt -> plugin -> embedded so if i have lrc/txt lyrics already it pulls those and if not the plugin will search. If plugin fails it will check for anyvembedded lyrics. This works with my feishin (pc) and symfonium (android) apps if I'm on my network or vpn'ed in (i don't expose my server).

Another thing you can do is use the LRCGET app which can bulk download them.

I haven't touched the ELRC lyrics yet but will look into pulling those

Their About Us page even touches on this and mentions alternatives

Thanks for mentioning that, I'll take a look!

My music is on my PC hard drive and synced to my server. Last year I spent a few weeks tagging my old stuff and i tried beets, kid3, and picard but ended up liking picard the most just since it was a lot better at grouping albums together and finding the best matches ime. Any new music is tagged with picard. Then i run a navidrome docker container with the music library mounted. And i use feishin for desktop and symfonium for mobile use.

If you're interested, i wrote about my experience migrating from iTunes to navidrome and tagging my music here (no ads, monetization, or tracking)

I imagine it's like the Active Noise Canceling (ANC) mode of headphones which will monitor background noise and then calculate the inverse sound wave and play that sound to you which in effect mostly cancels out the background noise (works better for certain frequencies than others). For a microphone they could do the same but instead of playing you the inverse sound, they could play it through the microphone for whomever is listening.

My advice (from above)

• fork projects on whatever platform they are hosted and keep the forks on that platform.
• only put your own original code on codeberg.

So whatever code you are looking at, keep it on that platform if you are forking it.

If you have original code, then you can license it however you want and put it on codeberg if it's an OSI approved license.

For starters, read licensing from codeberg (including their licensing page that is linked from there. Granted youre not choosing the licenses but there is good info to learn there.

Now codeberg wants free licensing. A good rule of thumb is if it's an Open Source Initiative (OSI) license then it's good. For a list of OSI licenses you can check out their page.

There may be other free and open source licenses that people use but if you know nothing about licensing then stick with the OSI ones until you get your feet wet.

You'll also want to make sure that whatever project you're using isn't using dual licensing with non-free parts. If it looks like they have multiple licenses described in their README.md or LICENSE then as a beginner i would just run away as those can be complex and you may not be able to put that code on codeberg

HOWEVER, my advice as someone who uses codeberg as my main forge is this:

• fork projects on whatever platform they are hosted and keep the forks on that platform.
• only put your own original code on codeberg.

My rationale is that part of the open source mentality is being able to give back your code contributions. Putting your code on another forge will make it so you're not able to do that unless you later add a different git remote to your fork on that forge and then merge (im ignoring the rare unicorn projects that accept contributions via email). That isn't hard to do but it's extra steps. If you fork a github project on github then you can still have a local copy in your PC and if the original policy is removed/nuked/relicensed/etc then you could dig into the licensing and see if you can put your local copy on codeberg.

What are you trying to do, specifically? And why? AUR is a collection of third party package build scripts to install software. You don't download the entire thing on any system.

Navidrome exposes the folder structure via the subsonic api, and any compatible app can then display folders if they want. Both symfonium (mobile) and feishin (desktop) have folder support.

Are there any good apps for android for navidrome/jellyfin respectively?

Symfonium is paid but by far the best i tried. Will work with both via subsonic api.

how easy can I add songs to them/do they pull metadata from somewhere (like jellyfin does for movies)

I use navidrome and can't speak to jellyfin. Navidrome is intentionally read-only for security reasons so you add music to where navidrome can see it and it'll auto-scan them in. For metadata my recommendation is musicbrainz picard. A lot of people recommend beets and it can be good but it's a big learning curve. Musicbrainz picard has a nice gui and easier to get music matched for beginners.

how do they (or any other options) compare in terms of ease of setup/maintainability?

From what i see people use jellyfin because they don't want "yet another container" and most people already have jellyfin for other media content. So that would be easiest route. Navidrome isn't hard to set up though, and overall has a better feel for me.

do you have any overall recommendations?

Look into LRCGET to get the timesynced and/or plaintext lyrics of your songs. There's also a navidrome plugin that will automatically fetch the lyrics when a song is played

Edit: for desktop id recommend feishin. It'll work with both through subsonic api

I would say the bigger issue is needing more people willing to be package maintainers. Their docs do cover how to move packages from AUR to an official package but it does involve needing to be sponsored by existing package maintainers and doing extra work. In the end it didn't seem worth it for my package that meets the criteria to be /extra.

And with the AUR malware issue, if these AUR maintainers can't be bothered to maintain their packages and let them get orphaned, then how would you expect those maintainers to meet that higher standard of work?

Like any open source project, the limiting factor is the volunteers. And, well, I'm just not going to tell the arch linux volunteer package maintainers they need to do more when I haven't been willing to do the work they are doing

Here are some scripts that can help too

(Edit: apparently i need to say to read and understand what these scripts are doing before running them. If you don't understand what you're running then don't run them) https://gist.github.com/Kidev/85756c3dcad3623ca5604a8135bafd14

Might be your instance. Try blog and spot and .com without spaces. The blog is also linked within OPs article

Their april 15th blog post explicitly calls it a backdoor and mentions it was very well hidden. I'm interested to see what comes of this

Article really buries the lede here by not even mentioning mitigation for all 3 vulnerabilities:

Update UniFi Network application to Version 10.1.89 or later.
