I've joined Ocean Throne as their guitarist. Death metal band based here in Finland. After trying out with them, it clicked - good musicians, heavy sound.
It feels good to play death metal again. I've been missing it.
We shot band photos a couple months back for the new lineup, and I've been building the band's new homepage at oceanthrone.com.
Recently, I've been trying to remember one thing: whenever I perform a repetitive task on the computer, I should write a script for it. Just a small one. I often think, 'I'll remember this', but just as often I forget.
The manual steps get forgotten, changed or go wrong. Yet it's easy to leave a script undone because I think, 'I can't do it now' or 'it's not that complicated'. But that little bit of laziness always pays off later.
I've found that trying to script things forces you to understand what you're actually doing. And the next time it's all there, you don't have to think or guess because you can just run the script and move on.
The goal: if the same thing is done twice, it will be scripted.
After many years with Airsonic, I’ve switched to Navidrome. Airsonic worked, but it felt outdated and the Subsonic API was unreliable. I kept running into errors when trying to fetch my latest albums for the /now-page. Eventually, it just became too frustrating. Navidrome feels modern, fast, and much more stable. Setup was smooth and everything works as expected.
Quick Docker setup:
docker run -d
-v /path/to/music:/music
-v /path/to/data:/data
-p 4533:4533
deluan/navidrome
Then open http://localhost:4533 and start listening.
