Anyone that self hosts, is probably using #Symfonium as their #Android client and I'm no exception. It has certain things that other clients just don't have overall, it's a good music client.

That said, shit kinda hit the fan when all users that were signed up to the beta found themselves completely locked out of the app. A hard-coded expiration date triggered before the new update cleared the Play Store review.

I'm not ignorant, I totally get that an indie developer doesn't want to deal with people reporting outdated beta issues and while I don't agree with it, I can understand why he's undertaken this methodology.

That said… knowing you've programmed this and pushing an update just four days before a kill switch activates is incredibly inept management, especially knowing #Google's review delays.

Shit happens and all that and you'd think the developer would just say, "holy shit, I fucked up, my bad" but nope, his arrogance decides to take the front seat. When users, actual customers, because this is paid software, complained and rightfully so, he got defensive. Someone, may have been me, gave the developer an open goal to just step back with dignity, apologise for the oversight, and explain the store delay. Because God-forbid you wouldn't sticky an explanation about this on your forums you force everyone to join. But alas, instead, he doubled down, got defensive, and literally called everyone that expressed dissatisfaction, a "Karen".

Asking for basic communication isn't a huge ask by any metric. Name-calling the people who fund your work is beyond unprofessional. I've personally never had a good experience with the guy. Initially I thought it was a language barrier issue, but I quickly realised he's just rude and arrogant. What should've been a simple thing got escalated because this guy can't put his ego aside. Two days later and people are still locked out. Actual insanity.

Combo auto-hospedado para música -> Navidrome + Symfonium. Eso sí, ten los metadatos/tags de las canciones bien configurados.

#navidrome #Symfonium

Tinkering with #mTLS today.

I was able to use it to secure #wavelog and it seems to work as expected, but trying to do the same with #homeassistant , on the other hand, broke access entirely.

What's frustrating is that there seems to be very little feedback when it doesn't work. Server logs didn't show any unauthorized access attempts, the browser just kept timing out.

I was initially hoping that I could use mTLS to securely access some of my private services without my VPN, but I'm also finding that many applications (like #symfonium) don't support mTLS, anyway.  Is it worth continuing to try to make it work?   I haven't decided.

🎵 Si usas #Navidrome y, por lo tanto, apuestas por el #selfhosting, apuesta también por el #SoftwareLibre. Considera utilizar un cliente para #Navidrome que sea libre y que respete tus libertades.

No uses #Symfonium como cliente: es software privativo y rompe completamente la idea de tener control sobre tu música. Mejor considera alternativas libres como las que te voy a proponer más abajo.
