I threw a thinkcenter in my laundry room and did the bare minimum to securely SSH into it (fail2ban, nonstandard port, root login disabled, can’t login with password, etc), to be used as a testing platform for building my workplace a new website.

Just gotta relearn HTML/CSS and figure out what platform to use.

Also set up traefik/Authelia/maybe Anubis for the new domain and block any access outside of my home or workplace.

Yeah, slskd was purpose built for docker stacks and it shows, especially when you compare it to similar solutions that weren’t.

I found slskd’s GUI to be a bit nicer than standard soulseek, and it has plugins for the *arr suite.

That being said, I use it for downloading, then run musicbrainz Picard to mass rename/sort/fix metadata, skipping the music *arr module due to past issues with it.

For accessing my music remotely I use jellyfin.

I have taught my dog a few nonverbal commands, so I could easily identify her without even speaking… If she isn’t too busy terrorising the other 99 dogs of course.
