@prologic@twtxt.net Let’s hope there are no more … ahem … party poopers. 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Nice! Looks tranquil.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Agreed, and I have an extensive library of “my own” files. However, we bought into the Google Home ecosystem some years ago (we have those little hockey-puck-shaped speakers throughout the house), and the only way to get multi-room streaming to work with them is to use a streaming service that they support. Hence, YT Music.

I’ve been expecting Google to EoL those speakers for the past few years, and figured I’d finally pivot to something self-hosted once that happens. But not yet!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks!

My email is hey (at) itsericwoodward.com, if that works. While I agree it doesn’t help test federation in the short term, right now I don’t really have a frame of reference for how it should work, which makes it doubly hard to setup. 🙂

TBH, my biggest concerns with running my own instance is with DNS, just because of the “unique” way my home network is setup (plus, it’s always DNS…).

Hello! 👋

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It is!

@prologic@twtxt.net Very nice view! I reckon this is a lake not a river?

Some more pics of where were staying 👌

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Nothing beats an own collection in my opinion. However, for parties and the like, it’s really great to be able to add random bits to the playlist that noone else has ever heard before. :-)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Sometimes, all things come together. I’m glad both of you are feeling better now and wishing you a continued speedy recovery. Also, happy hacking!

Looking forward to the photos. :-)

@david@daiwei.me Easy, Twtxt is similar to IRC. If you publish the password here, e.g. hunter2, only @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com will be able to read it as it is his. See?!

Thank you ! 🙏

@david@daiwei.me To be honest, I’m a bit tor: part of me wants to set it up on my main application server (alongside gitea, TwtKpr, and a few others), but part of me wants to run it on a Raspberry Pi with Docker (because why not).

I’m also something of a bad geek in some areas, and IRC was never really my scene, so I don’t have a ton of experience with it (I went straight from BBSes to WWW)… Maybe I’ll take you up on that offer of an account at https://chat.ratha.us/, just to get my feet wet… (if it’s still open) 😁

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice!

@prologic@twtxt.net Happy belated birthday to you, sir! 🎂

@david@daiwei.me Right? I loved seeing it on the big screen. It was even the Director’s / European cut, with the little Nazi-killing bit in the middle. “It’s a kind of magic!” ⚔️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, it’s what we use for streaming. We’ve had a YouTube Faamily plan for years (we originally signed up to keep the ads away from the younglings), and it’s included as part of the deal. I also have some hard-to-find music I uploaded to it back when it was Google Play Music. Still, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, per se.

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Absolutely! “Angel Dust” was (and still is) my absolute favorite album of all time, from any band. It is (and remains) that damn good. 🤘

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Added to the calendar, thanks!

@prologic@twtxt.net @david@daiwei.me Good to know! 😃 I’ll let y’all know if I get stuck.
