Rather than using a browser for playback, I would recommend Supersonic or some other player that can speak the Subsonic protocol that Navidrome supports. Desktop apps will be a much more pleasant experience than a browser.
It's a maintained Qt6 fork of Clementine, which was a port of the amazing Amarok 1.4 to Qt4, which is all that Amarok 2 should have been in the first place.
for old electronic music - Youtube, honestly. the algorithm is pretty good for finding old electronic music. like if youtube recommends me some random old 7 minute song with nothing but a picture of a record, there's a good chance I'm gonna like it at this point.
I'm on some of the oink/what successors and honestly, it's so hard to build ratio that it makes me not really like them at all.

You might have some success remaking rips others have made using the same settings for the rips and encodes, and then letting your torrent client recheck the existing torrent against your version of the files. I’ve also had success contacting filesharing-friendly artists and getting new and unreleased albums and tracks and building ratio more directly that way.
Another option is to source the same files from a private torrent from a public one by the same uploaded/release group, and then recheck and upload the same blocks to the private tracker as a completed or nearly completed download, without it affecting your quota much if at all, with all uploads benefitting your own ratio.
Many private trackers also have a higher ratio multiplier for dead or nearly dead torrents to promote seeding of those torrents specifically. I’ve also seen quota-free days and torrents that can be downloaded without a quota impact, uploads of which will help your quota get back in the black.
It seems most of the newer cameras (Z6 iii, Z5 ii, Z50 ii) and the Z9 support „Wi-Fi STA“ mode, as Nikon calls it. All other models apparently only do „AP“ mode, where the camera turns into an access point - super annoying.
Curiously the Z8 (which is basically a Z9) and the Zf (which is basically a Z6 iii) don’t support STA.
AP mode ought to be faster and more reliable because the camera sends the signal directly to the receiving device instead of an external AP rebroadcasting it and halving the available bandwidth.
The problem is with the software. It disconnects and sends data incredibly slowly, orders of magnitude slower than what the hardware is capable of.
Transferring from my D7500 has to crash once the fist time every time when transferring over WiFi before it works. They said they knew about the bug like 5 years ago so I don’t think they are working on it.
I've setup something like this recently and I think it's great - I really like the idea of just dropping into the middle of a movie because honestly who has the time to watch a 3 hour movie? that's one thing I really miss about TV
kinda tempted to get a CRT just for it to make it even better
I find it quite baffling you'd want to drop In halfway through a 3 hour movie, you'd miss out on so much!
And plenty of people have time to relax and watch a 3 hour movie. They wouldn't make them otherwise.
The again I also find the idea of turning on a show or film just as background filler/noise to be quite weird as well but many people seem to do it so I guess I'm the weird one for either paying complete attention to a film otherwise I find it distracting
>I find it quite baffling you'd want to drop In halfway through a 3 hour movie, you'd miss out on so much!
if it's good I'll rewatch it, if it's something I've already seen then I'm not missing anything at all. There's so many movies I've turned off when the beginning is boring, it's a decent way to watch new movies and it's how movies on TV used to work.
I'm trying to watch Robert Altman's filmography slowly, and there's so many slow 3 hour movies that watching them in small pieces until they click and actually make me interested in the entire thing helps. if it's all action or something maybe it seems pointless, but some films are a very slow burn, and this helps.
also it's not just movies, but TV too. I would use the shuffle button on comedy shows I've seen a million times before, now tv style drop in works just as well as that when I just want a laugh but don't really care what episode of something I'm watching. now I don't even have to pick a series, I can just pick a channel labelled comedy.
did you grow up with cable tv? maybe it's generational or regional thing
