I used yunohost for a bit and while it was easy setup, it wasn’t easy to troubleshoot weird errors because hardly anyone uses it.

I’d recommend setting up:

• debian with a desktop environment to start with
• figure out how to ssh into it from your main machine and maybe how to use tmux
• docker and how docker works
• self-hosting services using docker

Unfortunately no, audio files are actually really dumb in that they’re basically just a file of 44100 (or 48000 or 96000 etc) amplitude numbers per second.

So there’s nothing really to diff because it’s basically just a squiggly line, set of squiggly lines or, when compressed, a mathematical expression that when decompressed, recreates a squiggly line.

You could isolate the dialog if you got ahold of a version with no dialog at all and then inverse the polarity of that and sum it with the original but it’s unlikely you’ll find a version without any vocals.

Machine learning vocal isolation tools are probably going to be the best way to go about it as a DIY approach. Ultimate Vocal Remover 5 with the demucs 4 algo is great FOSS software to extract vocals and you could sum that with the original track and adjust the gain to get louder dialogue… it would be a lot of work though…

I don’t know why they don’t, I work in music rather than TV/Film but it infuriated me too! Give me a voice volume control! It would be technically very easy to do implement as a standard but the powers that be just haven’t come together and done it!

As an audio engineer, this suggestion makes my skin crawl.

Don’t apply any extra compression to your files this, it will ruin them.

Modern audio streaming services and good audio players use loudness normalization to achieve consistent playback loudness. The way they do this is by measuring the integrated loudness of each song and increasing or, in most cases, reducing the playback gain of the song to an arbitrary target (e.g. Spotify has chosen -14LUFS which is pretty quiet when you consider most pop music is mastered to somewhere between -10LUFS and -3LUFS).

OP should just find a better audio player or figure out how to enable loudness normalization.

Yep and they made it that way on a lot of DVDs!

Thanks for explaining this all! Super interesting thing that I knew existed but had no idea how it worked! Makes a lot of sense!

I third this, had mine for years, magnetic box is great, all the little plastic shimmy things are great. Solid quality.

It’s really weird reading your comment because it reads as if I wrote it.

• I do pro audio work in Logic & Ableton
• Was syncing projects between my desktop, laptop and homelab for a few years
• No longer need to with my M3 Max macbook
• Am a nerd power user and sync my dotfiles between my machines (i’d recommend chez-moi instead of syncthing for that because there’s less risk of messing up a machine and conflicts)

What kind of audio stuff do you do?

Pretty sure zoxide automatically uses “z” as its alias by default. One less letter for you to type.

Copyparty looks like awesome software that I have absolutely no use for nor the time to set it up but I still want it haha. The video demonstration was really impressive if you haven’t seen it yet.

(btw It’s pique not peak)

It annoys the hell out of me too, especially in a quiet place like a library or park and some clown does the full AAH-CHOOO like a cartoon character.

So PayPal or your bank are third parties that you have to trust will act honourably.

You can still do that with cryptocurrency and use third parties or dapps with escrow style protection features but you can also do direct transfers, without any third party involvement and no protection, like giving cash to someone requires no third party approval and there are no protections.

Ah sweet! Good to know, thanks!

What is the point of this type of service if you’re not getting it to automatically load and restart containers?

Does it notify you of newer container images or something?

I never bothered to set up watchtower because I didn’t want it to just apply updates before I could read the changelog. But maybe I was confused about its purpose.

Not to worry, just make sure to change guid and puid to 1000 then restart the container

Yeah much easier, that’s why I switched, I can’t quite remember the specifics now because it’s just worked for the past few months but it lets you set up the file naming and folder structure in a way that Plex can handle.

Yeah I switched from tubesync to pinchflat and haven’t looked back. Much more friendly UI.
