In addition to what you mentioned, another really annoying thing about Youtube's search is that it sometimes gives totally different results from one minute to the next. You can search for something, then type those exact same words just a few seconds later, and you get a completely different list of videos. So if you ever do get a list of good results, you need to leave that browser tab alone and open a new one to keep those results "safe."

Reddit is the first one that comes to mind for me, too. It was always easier to use a search engine like Google or DuckDuckGo and do thing I'm looking for site:reddit.com instead of actually using Reddit's search feature.

I use Funkwhale, which I have liked, but my use case is just streaming music through my laptop and listening with headphones. I don't think there is a client available that will run on your Autonomic streamer.

Funkwhale does have a subsonic API, so you could use a subsonic client, but you mentioned that didn't quite work before. (Is that what you mean by __sonic? I haven't actually heard that term.)

Funkwhale is nice, but I think for most people it doesn't (yet) offer any useful features beyond what Navidrome has, and probably even lacks a few things that Navidrome has. Funkwhale's main appeal is that you can follow someone's music library via the fediverse, although there hasn't really been a lot of use for that so far. Version 2 is coming soon, though, and adds a whole bunch of new fediverse features.

Oye Como Va - Santana

I know enough Spanish to understand the lyrics now, but loved that song before I knew what it was saying.

867-5309 is definitely the first one that comes to mind for me.

But also, Carrot Top saying "Call 1 800 C A L L A T T, it's free for you, and cheap for them" has been stuck in my head for a long time now.

I've never actually used it, but Faircamp caught my eye a while ago. https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/

I'm not sure if you can create a blog with it -- it might only be for showcasing your music, no text posts. It definitely looks nice, though.

Gotcha. The web UI in wallabag is nice and works pretty well with ereaders. It's already black-and-white, although it doesn't have pagination, so you'll have to scroll.

I've been using Wallabag for a few years now and really like it. (It's the one thing I'm not selfhosting, though -- I've been using their hosted service. But it should run on a raspberry pi with no problems.)

You can also export to epub, but you have to do that manually. OP, does your ereader run android? There are wallabag apps available, which are nice because they usually work offline after downloading articles from your wallabag server.

When Redis messed with their licensing terms a while ago, I thought to myself, "which project that I rely on will be next?" And I kept thinking it was going to be Minio.

So I switched from Minio to Garage a few months ago and it has worked great. I used the AWS cli to start copying everything over one evening, and when I woke up the next day, it was done. My S3 use is just one giant bucket for my music collection in Funkwhale, so I only had the one command to run. After updating the S3 urls in Funkwhale's configuration, everything was good to go.

This has all made me start paying closer to attention to what kind of organization is behind the various open source projects that I use. Garage is made by a web development shop in France -- they might even be a coop, or I might be thinking of someone else. I could be wrong about that last part. But they're definitely not a VC-backed operation like Minio.

Yeah, a few years ago they advertised themselves as the perfect storage solution for blockchain projects.

I installed Grafana, simply because it was the only one I had heard of, and I figured that becoming familiar with it was probably useful from a professional development standpoint.

It's definitely massive overkill for my use case, though, and I'm looking to replace it with something else.

That's a very slick setup, nice.
