No. Stay away from these sites. They’re only reason to exist is because they have builtin their promo-code into each “try this vpn” button. Giving them a cut of whatever you end up paying for the vpn service. These promo deals that these vpn companies have going are also incredibly lucrative for those promoting them, often giving them 20-40% of the cut.

I think this is unfair because their articles are low quality and often just copied from other sites.

There are mainly 3 vpns you should consider:

• MullvadVPN.
• ProtonVPN.
• IVPN.

I think most people don’t understand the fact that Kagi is meta-search engine which literally collect the results of other search engines and display it and add very small amount of results from their index(tecilis).

People basically pay them to search Yandex and Brave for them.

You’re enticing that they ‘do very little’. But they do search multiple sources at once, providing a better choice of results for their users in addition to allowing users further customizable filters. If they’re doing this then they’re doing more than just the standard ‘Yandex/Brave’ search as you describe.

I do however, agree that they should state that they are a metasearch engine if that is their case. Also just seen their pricing - ludicrous!

If they’re indexing multiple sources and then making a custom experience for the user - based on multiple sources and user input. Then that to me, sounds like a valid service to to allowed to sell? I struggle to see the issue here?

\not a kagi user.

I’m more afraid of them reading about each transaction and selling that information forwards to their partners…

Hm, good of you to point out. I hope and assume they will post the code for this as soon as they launch this.

I’d be very surprised if this was some sort of sham. At least both Jeff Geerling and Raid Owl have posted about getting these; though like sent to them without them backing them directly.

Currently exploring some tools around this myself too. I’d recommend having a look at Gonic, LMS(light music server) and Navidrome for hosting music. Personally I quite liked the simplicity of Gonic.

If you need to re-sort/manage your music then, Beets and Musicbrainz Picard, or MediaMonkey (if you’re on Windows) are your friends. These can add alot of additional metadata to your library.

Beets is apparently the “best” tool out of these as it has a big plugin library and hella customizable configuration for your exact setup.

Best of luck 🤞

Love the idea of this project, exactly something I’m looking for. Though as others have stated, a more native way for Linux or an integration with Lutris or Heroic Launcher would truly be helpful for this project. Believe it would get a lot more traction in the selfhosting community if this became a reality.

Same here!! Been absolutely fantastic so far. Although I have to remake my playlists, totally worth it considering Spotify is only getting worse and worse each year. Discovered late last night that Navidrome supports smart playlists, so will play around a little with that.

Thought I’d make a Lemmy post about the whole transition when I’m completely done migrating 😊

Isn’t the purpose of peer to peer to for people to connect to each other? If your port isn’t open then how do they connect to you?

Just out of curiosity, was your services pointing out to the public Internet? If yes, wouldn’t it be better to use a vpn?

This sounds promising! Currently in the process of getting rid of Spotify and selfhosting Navidrome pointing at Symfonium. This will be a nice backend addition.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, really appriciate it! Learned a thing or two here :)

This does seem like the way to go, thanks for the tips!

Here is one of the top of my head; https://perfectmediaserver.com/.

I’d say it boils down to what you see yourself hosting, what do you need/want? There are many great YT content creators out there documenting their experiences, tips and guides. HardwareHaven, Raid Owl, Jeff Geerling, Christian Lempa, TechnoTim and Wolfgang to mention a few.

JupiterBroadcasting has a wide variety of Podcasts dedicated to both selfhosting and linux stuff if that should peak your interest.

If you need tips for what to selfhost, here is another great resource :) https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

Fair point

Good points here, uptime is a factor I had not taken into consideration. Probably better to get a vps as you say.

Remove any custom locations (if u have tried to add any), and then simply copy paste this into the advanced tab. Dont forget to change the <IP+PORT>

location / {
    return 301 /admin;
}
location /admin {
    proxy_pass http://<YOUR IP:PORT>/admin;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

Let me know how it goes :)

nope. Been using Tailscale to acesss my stuff from home.

Ahhh i got it working now! Thanks a bunch for the help, been trying to get this to work for hours now hehe
