i have a rather large music library on sd card (~250gb and well over 10k tracks) so i am looking for a player that is able to handle that. so far i been using vlc player because the last time i was looking for a player i came to the conclusion it was the best option for a library this large. most other players would hang or slow down considerably with that many files. the only other player i have used for a while was auxio and i was quite happy with it but an update broke how it handles files and now it keeps forgetting my library and has to rescan everything whenever i open the app.

my problem with vlc now is every time i add some files to the sd card it needs to rescan every single file, which takes quite a long time. i hope there is maybe a player out there which would satisfy my needs:
-is able to handle a large library
-is able to apply replay gain
-has a dark mode
-doesn't need to rescan everything whenever i add a new album to the sd card

in case you have a recommendation for a case like that please LMK, thanks!

"An open-source communications hardware & software initiative empowering the public to connect across the world by bouncing signals off the Moon"

A New Frontier for Ham Radio
Bouncing signals off the Moon—known as Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communication—has long been the ultimate challenge for radio amateurs. It required large antennas, expensive equipment, and accurate manual pointing and tracking. We try to bring this down to Earth, providing all the tools needed to experience the thrill of space communication, with an open source software-defined phased array.

Here is the message where he found out what happened:

I didn't receive any information about it but when creating a support ticket I was told my account has been flagged and I had to do some extra verification. I've created a support ticket now and will keep you posted. I'll believe it's nothing major though, I use 2FA everywhere, the last commit on all repos is what I expect, and all sessions and usages look fine

Absolutely fuck Github and Microslop, they can just vanish your projects without notice whenever they want with barely any justification for it, and then take their sweet time to fix it too.

We have a new community and would love if you came and checked us out ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )

A couple of us have been working on a project that took quite longer than we expected, but we finally have opened registration on our forum, and would love for you to come check it out if you are interested :)

Our intent: We are trying to create a community focused on collaboration and genuine connections to create and make things with others. From software developers to artists, to handicrafts, and etc. We are working on a public wiki that can be used for creators to display and collaborate on each others projects that are openly licensed.

We want to create a community that is different than the much of the fast paced, superficial communications that happen on modern day social media - and instead try to build lasting connections where creative people and projects can grow and contribute to the commons.

From our "About Page":

An unfinished project is a seed that someone else can water when you no longer have the time or the tools.
The community thrives when we treat every piece of unfinished work as a stepping stone for the next person. You don’t need a long-term commitment to make a difference. Whether you finish a single page on our Wiki or solve one small problem in the Forum, you are making a project "slightly less unfinished" than it was yesterday.

We still have a lot of work to do to improve our platform (primarily our wiki - which is invite only until we ensure everything is working and in order), but we figured it was time to open up registration on our forum and see if we can get our few first members to help establish our community and maybe stick with us through a few more hurdles until we get everything more polished.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in being a part of, and are willing to stick around as we polish things up and try to grow, we would love to have you :)

I hope to maybe see one or two of you over at our federated forum!

PS: We will eventually be looking to "partner" with some other federated communities that share our values, so if you have a community that would be a good fit, feel free to reach out - as it would be great to have a network of communities that can support each other and provide value for the members.

Recently saw a youtube video about a service created to change an open source software license.

• One agent reads code and gather specs
• Another agent, without access to the original code, creates equivalent software

In theory this should allow someone to take any open source software and change it's license.

For a large portion of open source likely this is not an issue, because nobody may care for the particular software, but for larger projects I wonder what sort of impact this may have. In particular any open source software where it's authors are making a living from donations or public support.

Has anyone read, or thought, of a way to prevent getting one's code license changed this way?

I've been building an app for some time and I'm interested in open sourcing it. I've searched the net but I haven't found a good thorough guide on how to open source an app. So, besides choosing a place to put my code (github etc), what are some other advice you can give me in order to do it right? Thanks in advance

Here's a useful shell script for anyone working with text files. wordif.sh does word-by-word comparisons and outputs the results as highlighted HTML or PDF. It's much easier to read than standard terminal diffs, especially when you're comparing entire directories. Simple and effective for document reviews. https://github.com/jazzfan2/wordif

Does anyone know of any alternatives to Pinterest? To be honest, I’m fed up with it—not just because of its interface, but because of the data collection and tracking, to the point where I’ve started seeing adverts for the very same things I was searching for on other apps that have nothing to do with it. If you’ve had any experience with any alternatives (I’m particularly interested in design interior and architectural and envirenement content), please let me know.

i am done with the one i am currently using after they discontinued the paid version and replaced it with a subscription years ago. i then used the free version with an ad blocker but today i opened it to find the message "allow tracking" with no opt out...

i know weather tokens aren't free but the first question is if there even is one that has a rain radar. it's the one feature i find useful (and why i kept using the old app as long as possible...) but it's mostly absent from apps it seems.

it doesn't need to be free or completely open source, just no subscription.

Hi Lemmy,

I am trying to install Lineage OS on Chromecast. The documentation talks something about route access (I ignored it, assuming I don't have to route my device)

** My question **

I enabled USB debugging, tried:

adb devices 

my PC wouldn't recognise the Chromecast. I did some research online, and discovered that we need to have WiFi debugging enabled to use adb after the android 14 update, is it true/compulsory to enable the same? If yes, is there a docs or guide I can follow?

My setup: PC: Linux Mint 22.3 Zena

Chromecast: Chromecast with Google TV

Thanks in advance

PS: I am not a developer, I know some coding and work in data science. Please correct me if I said something wrong.

Thought this was really insightful and think more people should read this

ONYX v1.2-beta - now actually comfortable to use

I've been working on ONYX for a while now, and v1.1 was honest about one thing — it was secure, but using it every day felt like a chore. This update is mostly me fixing that.

What's new

• File uploads now show a preview and progress.
• Message forwarding — took longer than it should have, but it's in
• Keyword search across chats
• Smooth send/receive animations — on by default if you search the settings, and I liked having them
• Tap a reply to jump to the original message
• Message pinning (local only for now — I want to add it for both sides in next patches)

Improved

• LAN mode stability — this one was long overdue
• General performance

Fixed

• LAN mode connection issues
• Various bug fixes

Still a lot to do.

If you want to follow what's coming — there's an update channel inside the app: 12e01467-c154-447b-84f8-133ae76684a1 (channel token)

Feedback in the comments is welcome.

someone on Lemmy made a post recently about an app that checks which apps you have installed are open or closed source. i dont remember where it was posted, but i really want to know what it was called again. after searching online, on lemmy and even through AI i couldnt find it. please if someone knows what im talking about HELP

OpenStreetMap (I use organicmaps as a client) is not a viable alternative to me when there is no reviews and no information about departure times. Are there any alternatives that are open-source?

HereWeGo probably the best till now but not open-source.

Edit: wrong spelling of OpenStreetMap

The Future, One Week Closer. This is goimg to matter to everybody on Earth

In 5-10 years, Amazon/Bezos has a self-quota to make 100 million robots per year. That sounds nuts. The USA alone has over 300 million people. So it would take 3 years after they reach capacity to build robots to cover all USA population.

Yeah at this point I don't think just laws, legislation, oversight committees, and even whole world focusing on this issue together would be enough by that point. So this will most likely be a big focus from now on up to those 5-10 years to get resolved. That is just counting Amazon too not other companies worldwide in other "countries" doing the same thing to get to that level of capacity

8.3 billion living people on Earth currently. When production reaches 100 million robots each year it would take 83 years to cover every human on the planet with their own robot "companion"

The only way this can be done in a good way is open source community-made robots and AI being owned by people as a public thing not privately owned. Where everything is verified and done together ethically. That gives power back to people to own themselves.

Not one person corporate owned at all/tech overlords/stock market.

Also, other news: lots of data centers are going to be sent to orbit space.

I think that's enough internet for me today.

This is just wow. I don't even what to say at this point anymore except get things done, and together seriously.

Yes lots of good can come from certain aspects but I don't feel like it will be done in a friendly way overtime

Does anyone know of this ?

I wanted to share this open-source alternative to Spotify/YouTube Music for Android that I found. It's ad-free and VERY CUSTOMIZABLE. This definitely deserves so much MORE recognition. https://github.com/koiverse/ArchiveTune

Hey up. I am an anarchist and software developer of 20+ years and I really hate predatory ticket sales platforms that add junk fees and take money away from artists and spy on their users, so I built Chobble Tickets which is a fully free and open source (no open core / premium features / corporate licenses) ticket sales app.

It's built on Bunny CDN's "Edge Scripts" (which themselves run on Deno) which gives it cool scaling features out of the box - and it also means the running cost is very low because there's no servers and it scales down to zero

It includes features like:

• QR code check-ins
• Encrypted attendee information
• Stripe & Square payments
• Public and admin APIs
• Tiered tickets
• Custom questions
• CSV exports
• Webhook support
• Custom domains
• Custom email providers
• More I'm forgetting

You can get it up and running yourself very quickly, or I'm also offering paid hosting at £50 per year, £25 for artists, musicians, charities and co-operatives. Or some other nerd can host it for you, because it's easy.

(AI warning - I use Claude to help with my coding. This is nowhere near vibe-coded - the code is quite good actually because I have two decades of experience. But if you're super anti-AI, be warned that I used AI when building this)
