I, too, installed an open source garage door opener, and am loving it
  • There's a great project for the DIY tinkerers called RatGDO that hooks into the MyQ garage door openers and unlocks all of the feature of the app and more.

    Using a ESP8266 and Home Assistant, I can open and close the door to any position, turn on and off the light, see the reading of the obstruction sensor, and lock the remotes from opening or closing the door.

    There's also some open schematics called Rat-ratgdo

  • Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash
  • When I rode as a passanger in a Tesla Model 3, the owner told me not to use the big pull handle because it was the manual release, and instead to use the button at the top of the grab bar.

    I don't know about the other models but the manual release was a more obvious way to open the door than the intended way.

  • Manage locally stored music files on Windows PC and/or Android device.
  • MusicBrainz Picard is a software for tagging and organising music. It can apply the tags directly to the file and then move them into a folders like Music\Album\01-Song.mp3

    An easy way to spot duplicates at that point is search for any songs that have (1) or (2) and so on in the file name.

    Then you can use basically any music player to sort by title to check for duplicates, too.

  • If you self host music and want synced lyrics
  • Weird. I just made two folders, one remote and one local, with one of each FLAC and MP3, with Synced and Plain lyrics. All of them successfully have embedded lyrics. I'm curious if it would have anything to do with the scanned folder size. It worked with a folder with only 4 tracks in it, but not in first case with 9000 tracks in sub directories.

    The only odd thing is that the mp3 with synced lyrics downloaded the .LRC file but the embedded lyrics are plain.

  • If you self host music and want synced lyrics
  • I'm running Arch Linux, using the 0.5.0 AppImage.

    I have my music collection on a NAS running Debian which I use NFS to mount it to /mnt/NAS. I then have a symlink to that in ~/Music/NAS. That symlink is what I added as the scanning library for LRCGET.

    From what I can tell, the files that were corrupted were the ones that found synced lyrics. If it matched plain lyrics, the file was okay, but I don't think it embedded the plain lyrics either.

    I'll setup a couple test folders, trying to test all the combinations of FLAC and MP3 files, synced and plain lyrics, and through the NAS symlink and on the local machine.

    I do want to add that LRCGET has been great. It was dead simple to setup and use, and with the exception of the experimental feature, has worked exactly as intended. I personally just like to have everything in one file which is why I tried out the embedding feature.

    The FLAC files that I care about, I was able to partially restore them from high-quality MP3s that I had converted from the FLACs. And I have a bunch of other FLAC copies from a folder I had yet to clean out (hooray procrastination), I also still need to check an old drive that should have a copy of my whole collection from a couple years ago, I'm sure that will have some more, too. Nothing was lost that can't be recreated.

  • If you self host music and want synced lyrics
  • I tried it but in my case it set all the MP3s to 0 bytes. Luckily, I was able to get them back through snapraid. But then I noticed something in snapraid where I needed to run a sync.

    What I didn't see is that it set all the FLAC files to 42 bytes, so they didn't get restored when I checked for 0 bytes filea, which means that it synchronised all those 42 byte files.

    So I just lost all my FLAC files. I can't be mad at the dev, it's an experimental feature. This is just a word of warning for others to do a proper backup before you try it.

  • If you self host music and want synced lyrics
  • Yeah, Picard has been great. Long ago, I did a first pass where I dumbed my whole collection in, scanned and then just hit save. I got rid of any of the files that had a (1) or (2) and so on at the end of the file name, cleared out most of the duplicates.

    I've since been sorting one artist at a time, but making sure the tagging is more cohesive, and not have some songs, for example, split between a compilation/greatest hits album and the original.

    I've tried using beets in the pasted, but it either glitched or I didn't set it up right, but it created a lot of duplicates of things. I found it a lot more tedious to use, too.

  • If you self host music and want synced lyrics
  • I've slowly been tagging my music collection and synced lyrics is something I've been very eager to add.

    I've wanted something like this for a long time, thanks for sharing

  • Insanity
  • Actually, that's almost part of the problem ironically.

    Most of the bus routes go down dedicated bus transitways to a main hub, which means the first bus goes 30 minutes North instead of West.

  • Insanity
  • Or it takes prohibitively longer than a driving.

    My wife considered taking the bus to work, but it would take 2 hours to get 20 minutes down the road.

    Also add the fact that a bus pass is more expensive than our car insurance.

  • Project for people leaving Google Maps.
  • The app mentioned on the post, Organic Maps, has Android Auto. OsmAnd is another app that I know has it as well.

  • Steam Families is here
  • Family Sharing enables you to play games from other family members' libraries, even if they are online playing another game.

    This is a great improvement to this feature. It's refreshing when these type of convenience features are considered and implemented.

    I noticed this odd behaviour a few days ago. It happens on desktop and mobile web pages. It seems to only be on this instance (lemmy.ca) because I don't see this when browsing other instances directly.

    I can't see the UI version number at the bottom of the page. I'm using Firefox 114 on both desktop and Android phone.
