Music streaming for BSD
Music streaming for BSD
Hello based people of lemmy,
I have recently started trying out BSDs as an alternative to Linux and found out that Spotify isn't supported. Before you say try it in a browser this doesn't work as spotify has DRM that doesn't work on BSD OSes.
Now is there a way to stream music similar to Spotify? I know there is a downloader program available.
Furthermore do you know what self-hosted options are available? I already have a basic *arr stack and am always up for convoluted server and Linux hijinks.
You're viewing part of a thread.
I use Arch too. I've been using FreeBSD for 21 years, though. I run everything on it, even this Lemmy instance.
Okay I will probably move to FreeBSD proper eventually. I am still new to this though and likely to break things. I don't want to have to go through a whole process every time I mess up to get a usable working system until I actually know what I am doing.
Install on ZFS root, snapshot a known good, then you can rollback as you wish.
Yeah this might be the way. I have created a FreeBSD current USB drive to install off of. I am thinking the newer slightly less stable version has less GPU issues as that seems to be the main factor.
That almost certainly untrue. Do not run CURRENT, it has
INVARIANTSandWITNESSenabled that will make it painfully slow.That's good to know. Is there also a way to suppress error messages in the installer? They fill the whole screen from one repeating message and I can't actually install it because of that.
Again, it is because you are using CURRENT. Don't use it.
Never used current, I went with stable. What's the solution?
To what? Provide the error message and stop asking to be spoonfed? And you can hit ^L to make the install refresh the screen like with any curses program, fyi.
It's USB related. Probably an unsupported device. If it's really an issue I can address it later but first I need to get the thing installed. Also I had no idea you could do that with ncurses.
ubt0: ubt_bulk_read_callback:1131: bulk-in transfer failed: USB_ERR stalled.
Also ctrl+L isn't clearing the screen.
That is your bluetooth adapter. Just disable it, press 3 at the boot menu to break to loader prompt and
set hint.ubt.0.disabled="1"andboot
Did I say CURRENT? I meant STABLE. Which is weird because shouldn't something called stable be the version you release, but release is a separate one. It's confusing.
You need to read the handbook before you start spouting judgments about the releng process.
STABLE is cut from CURRENT. RELEASE is cut from STABLE.
Yeah I got that thanks. It's a very odd way to label things. It doesn't follow industry standards which are normally: alpha, beta, release candidate, release.
Or even the debian method of: unstable, testing, stable, oldstable.
Please quote me the relevant "industry standards." It is all perspective, and FreeBSD releng certainly does not cater to what some rando online might think is an intuitive way to name release trains. This has been done this way for 30 years.
Out of curiosity what do you use Linux for and what do you use FreeBSD for? Do you use FreeBSD as a desktop or only as a server?
Linux on laptops, and certain other servers (TV headend/DVR, APCO P25 SDRtrunk host), and video transfer workstation. FreeBSD on any other servers, routers, and workstations, including my home automation controller (I maintain a fork of Home Assistant for FreeBSD).
