  @jorijn Yeah, I've come to the same conclusion. Tired of these companies enshitifying... It looks like their build sources are going to stay so I'm gonna setup my own Harbor registry and custom pipeline to build all the images I use multi-platform once a week or so...

Think iTunes meets Winamp from 2007 ✨ Smart playlists ✨ Gapless playback ✨ AcousticID fingerprinting ✨ Scrobbling support ✨ Real-time visualizers ✨ Lyrics display ✨ 10-band EQ ✨ Constructed with accessibility in m...

  Almost an hour spent in a meeting discussing technical issues that I know will never get addressed. It's too hot for this. And life is too short. #life

  My open source MacOS music player Bòcan, now supports Subsonic/Navidrome music sources. I still need to do a bit of work on the federated search function but it's very usable. Check it out: https://bocan.app #navidrome #subsonic #music #audio
