What3words.com and app
Basically the earth has been segragated into 10 foot x 10 foot squares that are easily identified by 3 words, super accurate, easy to tell emergency services. No more need to know lat/long to tell someone where you’re at.
Where on earth is “fuck shit piss”?
unfortunately the people at What3Words excluded words people might find offensive from the word list, so that place does not exist
So I guess “musk impregnates influencers” would be OK? Even though that’s a lot more offensive IMHO …
I just looked it up, and apparently “impregnate” isn’t in the list either. Yes, the word isn’t offensive by itself, but I think they remove quite a lot of words that might cause problems in the what3words address. There is way more than enough words anyway.
This is from their FAQ:
How do you handle offensive words?
A what3words address is made up of 3 random words, and they are not intended to convey any meaning to a location. However, we know that the nature of using words means that unexpected interpretations can crop up.
For each new what3words language, our team consults a broad range of native speakers. We then work together to remove rude and offensive words from our word lists, navigating cultural sensitivities wherever we can.
Some users feel that certain words in our lists are unsuitable or inappropriate, so we always take feedback onboard. However, one of our key features – that our addresses are permanently fixed – means that it is not possible to update the word list. Instead, we can look for opportunities to adapt our approach when developing future languages.
Tip: if you’d rather avoid a certain what3words address because of a particular word or combination of words, we’d suggest you use the next square along.
Ooh like that. Interesting concept. Too bad people can’t spell 😅
earth has been segragated into 10 foot x 10 foot squares
I think you’re inadvertently advertising a cylindrical model of the earth 😁
I learned about this from a can of ///Fear.Movie.Lions beer from Stone Brewing:
What 3 words pinpoint where this indelible beast was born? The location is printed on the can. There’s a 3m x 3m square in our Richmond, VA brewery with these three words painted on it. What three words? Exactly! For the uninitiated, that’s What3Words.

Learn a little docker and start self hosting stuff! Pihole is a great one to start with, but there are lots of other awesome projects out there:
How do I “learn a little docker”? Where do I start?
YouTube. Duckduckgo.
Personally I’m running 13 containers for various things. Worth it.
But I googled docker, and only found apps that can be installed. Does it both require something to run the docker apps in?
Docker is a program that runs on an OS, usually Linux, and the docker apps or images are run by docker on the OS docker is installed on.
I’m a rookie, but I run TrueNAS which runs docker images. Previously I ran plain Debian with docker installed to run docker images.
Before you start can I ask what experience you have with computers, command line, and have you ever done any programming.
Programming isn’t necessary but it helps me see if you’ve been exposed to the kind of syntax you will see in docker.
Happy to help you learn this though.
I’m on a course to become full stack developer, and I know the command line (basics), have an old laptop running Linux Mint that I want to test to use as a docker, but I have no idea where to start.
That’s great you’re starting from a place that should make this easy.
Let me jump on my PC and get some information to help you get started.
I am going to be pasting a set of commands to get docker and docker compose set up, but please be wary of people giving commands to run in the terminal. You could use the information I’ve provided to help you find guides to confirm that no weird commands, but I copied this from my guide I use whenever I set up a new VM to use docker.
So the commands below add any dependencies for docker, adds the GPG key to verify and then installs docker and docker compose. I also set up a docker user add them to the docker group so I don’t need to use sudo to run.
I then use docker to create a portainer instance. Portainer allows you to use a webUi to see what you have running and stop start any of your services from there.
After this I have provided a docker compose file which would be named docker-compose.yml. Yaml sucks as it constantly moans about spacing, but essentially you want to use spaces and not tabs and each new line would be indented two spaces unless it’s a sub part of the section above then it would be two more spaces etc.
This docker compose might or might not be what you need, this one first sets up gluetun, which is a VPN layer which I can route other services through as you don’t want to torrent from your IP.
So gluetun is set up using ProtonVPN and you pass the username and password. Username has +pmp for port forwarding.
Then each service under here can choose to use the services/gluetun or bridge network. The former is for the VPN the latter is routed through regular network. Notice how anything routed through the VPN has the ports defined in the VPN service.
The others things you would need to be conscious of is the paths I have used for /mnt/vault/* as these are network attached storage from TrueNAS. Depending on how you want to store things you’ll need to just add the paths to these. The paths look weird but the part before the colon is where it is on your machine and the part after is what it is called inside that container.
You’ll notice that Plex requires a claim key but you can google how to find that.
This isn’t going to get you up and running and you will likely run in to permission errors and other errors along the way. I would suggest coming back here with your errors or giving them to ChatGPT, just don’t blindly copy commands if you don’t know what they do.
Once your docker compose incomplete your can run docker compose up -d to spin it up. Then in portainer you can see all the containers and then login to each and do the setup. Docker compose down to stop them all.
When I set this up I did the gluetun and then Radarr. Get that working and then add your next thing and then the next and so on until you have what you want.
As I said this isn’t a complete solution and you will run into roadblocks, but that’s the fun for me and I am happy to help when you get stuck along the way.

I miss my nas.
This isn’t likely to work without some whack a mole with errors though but it should be enough for someone curious enough to be able to get a working solution.
My NAS currently has a sole 10TB HDD and funds are too low to justify an additional one so I am very nervous.
You could follow a guide to install portainer, it’s got a web gui to manage docker. It can handle installing most types of docker containers.
When you find a cool project to install, they almost always have a docker compose template you can use to install their container.
The docker compose tells docker which containers to install and how they might rely on each other as well as which ports to run on and where all their config and/or data files should be stored.
Using a docker compose makes things super simple to update by using portainer to repull the images to the latest versions and run those. The new containers running the new versions will have all the same config and see the same data/config directories that you specify in the docker compose.
I run a bunch of containers, some good examples are the ARR stack to download tv shows and movies. Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, Transmission are all defined in one docker compose. Another couple of great containers I run are Actual Budget for budgeting software and Tandoor for saving and managing recipes and grocery lists. Actual Budget and Tandoor have their own docker compose configs.

Syncthing.
Connect any two devices’ folders together wirelessly, from anywhere.
Don’t have a server? You don’t need one. Every device is an individual node.
Backup? If you do have a server, offload some of your content and keep on rolling, or set scripts to move files by age.
commenting to remind myself about syncthing for when I can look into it later.
very underrated piece of software! its been a total game changer in how i have my computers set up.
also great for some apps too. things like keepass or newsboat (terminal RSS reader) or anything that stores its data in a single file or folder. its really great not having to rely on a connection to a server
It’s great, customizable, I sent a suggestion to the volunteer development team, and they made it happen.
Worth noting: Android only
Let me be perfectly honest: If you like AntennaPod, just stick with it, OK? You’ll save a lot of frustrations and headaches.
I used to use AntennaPod and listened to lots of podcasts.
Then one podcast host mentioned some other app, I tried it, and liked its Web interface, even when it didn’t have all of the AntennaPod features. I think it didn’t have “stop playing a podcast at the end of the episode, even if it’s queued”. (I like to queue stuff and listen to them at no particular order. I’m a whimsical girl like that.) Then I think this app got discontinued/went pay only, I can’t remember.
Went with Google Podcasts. It was a pretty limited and janky experience (also no ability to stop at the end of the queued episode), but it did its job and I hoped it’d get better over years. It didn’t. It got discontinued. Google sometimes can’t do a good thing.
I manually migrated my subscriptions to some other app. (As one last hurrah Google then implemented OPML takeout.) Wasn’t happy with this app. Couldn’t help but notice my podcast listening habits were drying up due to all these minor snags. ADHD thing I’m sure.
Then I remembered AntennaPod and how perfect it was and how happy I was using it. I wanted to export OPML from this other app. It had OPML import but no export of any kind. Shit.
So I imported my subs manually again. And screw me if I ever have to do that again. But I’m happy again and that’s what matters. I don’t think I’ll need to migrate again, I’m glad AntennaPod has nice backup features. (Which I already used to move the app from my tablet to my phone.)
I second this one. Only one I’ll use.
I tried so many other podcast apps, at least 3 of 4 others. The only thing I dislike is that about AntennaPod is that there is no comprehensive removal button that deletes, marks as played, and removes from queue—but all the other apps failed at even consistently downloading eps or playing them back. AntennaPod crushes all competition by light years.
I’ve been using Podcast Addict for years, and when I tried to switch to AntennaPod, I couldn’t figure out how to configure it in such a way that I can listen to the back catalogue of a podcast in chronological order and have the app automatically download a rolling buffer of a small number of episodes. When I looked around online for solutions, I found a forum thread of someone who had the same issue, and the maintainers of the project responded with confusion and dismissal as to why anyone would need that functionality lol. So I’m still on Podcast Addict.
Huh, incidentally, that’s one I haven’t tried! You may end up swaying me over…
Actually, is it closed-source? That’d be a deal-breaker for me, if so, since I’m not that desperate for such a feature as to lose open-source status.
Yeah, Podcast Addict is proprietary and ad driven, unless you pay. I grabbed a lifetime ad-free upgrade years ago when it was like two bucks.
On some level I agree with you, I generally love open source, and if AntennaPod had the feature I was looking for I would have switched, but I also don’t mind paying for software if it’s good and reasonably priced.
Cleaning after yourself before you leave the property as a tenant.
Are you tired? You sound tired, don’t you think you need a lie down?
Honestly maybe I need a little vacation, thank you for a reminder ☺️
Emmie. Please. Get help. Arguing with strangers on the internet for no reason isnt cool. It wont make your children love you. Please seek therapy.
We are all concerned for your wellbeing.
This isn’t free. Landlord fees.
I don’t like to charge fees for something that should be common decency
Like not exploiting a basic necessity for profit?
Would you prefer if I kept my land barren?
The land was there before you, it’ll be there after you die. You provide nothing of value. You’re a drain on society. Every single one of your tenants would be better off if you and everyone like you didn’t exist.
On the contrary. I provide value of upkeep and managing the estate I rent. Without me people wouldn’t have place to live because they cannot afford to purchase the land.
Thanks to me countless people are able to have a roof under their heads.
They can’t afford the land because it’s been turned in to a speculative asset by people like you.
People are entirely capable of caring for their own shit you absolute fool.
“Your land…” Pfft…
Yes.
Now leave.
If you do not need it, how about selling it off to someone who actually needs it…?
Why would I sell the land of my ancestors to someone? This soil has been in my family for ages, I am not looking for a buyer
Oh so you did absolutely nothing to earn it. Cool. Go fuck yourself.
Must be nice to inherit land.
Landlords have guaranteed that tenants won’t bother to clean the place up by establishing the precedent over many years that they won’t refund your deposit no matter how spotless you leave the property. Everyone knows it and after getting screwed enough times, tenants are incentivized to leave a mess as an act of defiance.
Sounds like fake news to me. I don’t do that for example. I don’t know many People of Land beside myself but I rather treat it as a beneficial service to the community that I happen to be able to support myself from.
You are a leech on society, i hope you realize that one day.
You think so yet I provide accommodation for dozens of people. If I stop they are homeless because no one will rent them for my price. If there is a mold outbreak they get cancer. If someone comes with bugs I need to handle the bugs. If something breaks I need to repair it.
If someone is drunk and on drugs I need to kick them out so the rest of people are okay
It’s not some kind of passive income lol
There are various activities slightly less profitable for less work but I enjoy providing this service. Also I like renovation and interior design. It’s a real art to make interiors the most appealing with least amount of money.
you’re gunna charge for it anyway, parasite. might as well help you get a actual day’s work in once in a while.
Can’t you basically deduct anythign from the deposit? I used to tell them it will cost more than the deposit to clean up and they immediately hire some cleaning service and get it cleaned and of course you still return only 50% even after that because there are something which they cant clean completely
I don’t have a deposit, I have a ‘move-in’ fee
Interesting, This is a great idea!, I will have to check the legality of this but I am hoping it will be legal 🤞.
LMMS - free and open source garage band. It’s a little weird on how you do a song, but it’s pretty great.
Tips: Look at Beats and Baselines Editor and Piano Roll Editor first to probably get you where you want to be.
And if you need some free virtual instruments, Plugins4Free and Vital.
Wow, this thread came to me with perfect timing. I love LMMS and I’ll try out this plugins on Monday, thanks.
I’m currently going through this thread and found 3 other sites that are amazing and solved some project issues I was having.
Oh, glad to help! Any other music tools you’re looking for? I’m not good with any of them, but I like testing them out. I’m still just learning and experimenting.
I get a little sad when I don’t see anything new for me on threads like this, but then I’m a bit grateful since that means I’ve already spent a long time enjoying all these things!
I’ve been playing with it since my last comment. I just installed 8 plugins. There are 3 that are so freaking good.
My only wish is there was a way to make a song like in Garage band, where you can overlap the instruments and loops more easily. I think it’s there, but I’m just not good enough at it yet. When I play with the piano, I get a really good sounding melody, but then it’s gone.
Like in this video?
I haven’t used LMMS in a long time, but he’s manually editing the piano roll (where the notes are stored) but I see a record button here where it should record what you play on the keyboard.
It looks I can use the same workflow, it’s just a little more complicated.
Sort of, I found that portion. Here is my workflow in Garage Band.
- Pick loop and sound speed (has a ticker before it starts), and place on timeline
- Add instruments and play with melodies from a keyboard plugged in and record them.
- Use the melody.
- Record some vocals
- Add more layers of sounds or loops
- Create file
This takes about 4 hours to make an opening song that I usually love.
In LMMS
- I can find some loops, but they seem to really point towards making your own, or maybe there are some loop vaults somewhere I could use?
- I found some amazing instruments on the plugins4free site, but recording them with a keyboard seems hard somehow.
- I have the studio (paid) version of Davinci Resolve, I guess I could just switch over there once I’ve made my loops?
The rest seems easy and I like the set up.
If you want to do any loop and sample work FOSS style, then I’d highly highly recommend Bespoke Synth, easily the best FOSS modular DAW out there
It has a bit of a learning curve, but once you’re over it then it’s a pleasure to use and easily the best open source DAW I’ve used so far (and I’ve tried alot)
Biggest thing it has over LMMS: VST3 support, so you can actually use modern synth plugins like Surge XT, or dynamic EQ plugins like ZL Equalizer, or lo-fi plugins like CHOW Tape and MAIM
Although, there is a FOSS workout to get VST3 working in LMMS using KV Element, which you can load as a VST2 that itself can run VST3’s.
I use to use that before Bespoke but it was very much a workaround, and I had this infuriating annoyance where KV Element would just send pitch-wheel signals to everything and detune my synths without me knowing, and I could not find any reason or fix, so I just stopped using LMMS in favor of Bespoke
Hope this helped!!!
Gotcha, now I have a better idea of what you’re trying to do.
Watching this video about looping in LMMS shows it can sorta be done, sometimes with some help from Audacity.
If you’re adding in more stuff like VST plugins and vocals, you may want to try out Waveform Free, which I checked is for iOS also, so you get a full modern DAW. It’s the same product as their paid full version, just like 2 updates behind.
For more premade loops, check out Looperman if you haven’t already.
It’s not free, but I think I under $20 for the program and all the upgrades, if looping and sampling is something you want to focus on, check out Koala Sampler. I downloaded it the other week and have been sampling vinyl recordings from YouTube, it has an AI stem extractor to separate the instrument tracks, and then chopping and looping that.
It has a built in simple synth now as well, and you can use a midi controller with it. Lots of videos are out there if you want to see how that works. You might be able to incorporate that into your setup.

I do have some other hobbies! 😁
If you’re looking for instruments, effects, etc, the YouTube channel elektronickmusick demos a few each day and many are free or free trials and they run the same midday track through all of them to give you an indeed what they sound like.
I don’t think they’re the best demos because it’s a generic track through all of them, not necessarily something that fits perfect with each unique instrument’s strengths, but it gives you some ideas of the sound before you search for it, download it, and find out it’s not for you.
If you want some nifty and weird sounds with fun back stories, David Hilowitz searches out obscure old instruments, fixes them, and samples them in his Decent Sampler plugin and rotates giving away different ones for free.
I’m still really bad at making my own music, but I like experimenting while I’m learning to do better.

As hard as it may be to imagine, I feel I’ve been getting a bit behind from where I’d like to be with owl stuff. With so many owl babies right now, it’s been hard to get some of the variety I’d like, and between being sick and depressed, it’s hard for me to focus on owls or music the way I’d like.
But between all those links I’ve shared, you should have years worth of experimentation ahead of you. I hope you find lots of good stuff.
Removed by mod
I’m sure a good deal of it is just that like being lazy and complaining. 😁
I got some good posts added to the queue today and planted some more stuff in my container garden and made some bread, so now to clean dishes and laundry and try to focus on some piano.
I think I’ve been lost since the gf has gone to a very fluctuating schedule, as it really throws off my routines. It’s like if the sun came out at a different time every day. There’s still the same amount of time and opportunity to do stuff, but you’d feel off after a while doing stuff at what feels like the wrong time of day. I dunno. I’m weird. 😝

This is a great thread!
Not foss, but PortSwigger Burp Community
I know its a major security tool widely used but it bugs me it’s not open sourced
Bugs me, too. I only use it when I absolutely have to. But it is free.
In California (and Connecticut), you don’t have to pay to use the air pumps at gas stations. You can just go inside and ask them to turn on the air pump, and they legally have to.
you have to pay for that? I thought it was free worldwide
$1.00 in quarters basically everywhere I go
VLC Media Player
Even better, MPV Media Player. Vlc has bad color reproduction
I use mpv, but VLC has GUI config stuff that is a lot more approachable.
Interesting. Does it take you back to resume if you closed it halfway through a video?
No
Darn. That’s why I’m with SMPlayer; that time continuity is extremely helpful to the point of being a requirement for me. VLC also has it but it actually makes the jump-to-time prompt vanish if you take too long to click it (which is… a bizarre “feature”).
It’s not enabled by default, but you can configure it to: https://mpv.io/manual/stable/#resuming-playback
<3 VLC, been using it for decades at this point.
Kanopy - a website where you can stream movies and TV shows, which is free if you have a library card.
And Hoopla Digital! They each have some things that the other one doesn’t.
VLC: the only media player you’ll ever need. Peak FLOSS.
Audacity: free, robust audio editing/effects tool. Not a proper DAW but so feature rich some people treat it like one. Another peak FLOSS.
Freesound.org: huge library of free audio, all Creative Commons/non royalty shit. Effects, music, you name it. Been around for literally 2 decades, is run by a non-profit. Definitely a relic of a bygone era
Another peak FLOSS.
Actually, Audacity lost this status when Muse Group bought it out. There was a huge community fuss over this especially in /r/Audacity when the company started adding data-tracking to it, and the protests eventually died down because they just kept muscling through their decision like Reddit did with its changes.
I still use Audacity, to be fair, but may consider Ardour that another user mentioned here…
Tenacity is a decent (not perfect) Audacity replacement.
Is that a fork of Audacity? I think I remember reading about that around the time of the hullabaloo…
Their “data tracking” was just telemetry to figure out what buttons people were actually pressing.
I use Ocenaudio for quick audio edits anyways.
Oh wow. I hadn’t seen any of this that’s wild. Bummer to hear :/
Back in the windows 7 days we were sitting at Christmas lunch and my dickhead cousin started bragging about all the different video playing apps he used, without looking up from his lunch my grandpa goes “I only use one, vlc, only an idiot would use anything else.”, then continued eating without looking up, my cousin looked shitty and I just left to go laugh outside.
I am so torn between calling bullshit and wanting to believe this so badly
I don’t care if you believe me or not that’s your business, my cousin is an arrogant asshole, the type to bring his house plans to Christmas lunch and spread them where we’re about to eat lunch while standing there demanding people admire his shitty house and my grandpa doesn’t give a shit. When he retired in the 90s he got into building computers which lead him to piracy, he introduced me to piracy and is why I’m the pirate I am now.
No believe me I am leaning towards believe. It’s just so perfect lol
It was random af, he’s usually a chill quiet dude lol.
We used to have family pirate nights where we’d visit the video store, rent out all the games we could, go home burn copies of them all, take them back the same day and grab more, they didn’t know or care. I’ve taken over his role now and now I set up pirate streaming apps for my family.
Fucking amazing
Audacity: free, robust audio editing/effects tool. Not a proper DAW but so feature rich some people treat it like one. Another peak FLOSS.
If you need what I understand to be considered a full-on DAW, there’s Ardour, which is also FLOSS.
Never tried it! Thanks for the suggestion!
