Automation
If you're looking for an API, there's slskd which runs as a daemon and offers a REST API for searching and downloading.
-
can you sync up seeker and soulseek?
There's even an example daemon that can give remote access, so you wouldn't even have to have Soulseek and Seeker on the same computer: https://github.com/slskd/slskd
-
soulseek on cloud-based virtual desktop?
Another option along similar lines: https://github.com/slskd/slskd

After over 15 years of ripping and downloading, my music library just reached 20TB. AMA
And, if you prefer a self hosted web app, you'll like slskd.

Integrating SoulSeek into Jackett (and by extension, qbittorrent)
Soulseek has a webUI.
-
What's yout preferred selfhosted music streaming suite?
To acquire music from Soulseek, I use slskd, and to organize and import it to my library with beets, I use betanin.
-
Browser-based soulseek client to run on Mac OS?
I suppose you gave nicotine+ a try? Other than that, there is slskd, which, being a daemon, is "accessible from a web browser", but I have no experience with it.
Well, as I said, no experience with it.. I reckon it shouldn't be too hard? Get the binary, run it, connect to it with your browser. Otherwise there is /u/stas-prze's suggestion to use nicotine+ on Linux in a virtual machine. Cumbersome fiddlings either way, but it ought to work. š¤
-
Good repositories to learn and contribute
slskd could use some help, and there's a bunch of easy issues left over from hacktoberfest that you could take on.

Please don't use Soulseek NS (the original client for Windows)

We released a new powerful efficiency tool called RunFlow, which is similar to PowerToys and Alfred, welcome to try it
RunFlow is a cross-platform productivity tool which can launch apps and search files and more, that similar to Wox and PowerToys on Windows, and also similar like Alfred and Raycast on macOS. But we have differences with these tools, and we have our own unique new features. Right now, at the below, we will introduce you what features of RunFlow have been implemented in more details. It's an amazing journey, let's start.

GTK: On fractional scales, fonts and hinting
I'm curious - when you were doing research into the mechanics of hinting options, did you stumble onto any relevant discussion around allowing custom pixel geometries to be defined, to enable hinting on modern OLED / WRBG displays? There's a good thread on the topic here[0], with some people referring to it as 'ClearType 2' on the MS side [1]. On the oss side I know FreeType theoretically supports this[2], but I can't quite figure out how relevant the FreeType backend is to this most recent work.
This is great work btw.

Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
Thank you all for the informative advices. Here is the summary for those who are in the same situation:
1. Run Windows on Linux by using VM
for the applications you canāt run on Linux
Risks:
* some softwares may attempt to detect VMs and refuse running
* Anything what needs to touch hardware may not work.
2. separate "data" partition on D:
3. back up %APPDATA% and %USERPROFILE%
4. learn chocolatey, scoop or winget
Winget should be good enough
5. Donāt worry about C:\Program Files
6. (Mixed) Use/Donāt use Ansible (or saltstack/salt)
Use:
* Allows you to setup a new machine quickly and consistently when one breaks, get stolen, or lost in an inconvenient time.
* You can get a clean and consistent development environment so that you do not depend on anything accidentally installed on the machine.
* If you define specialised roles, create test playbooks for those individual roles, use these roles to compose more complex playbooks, and offload logic to custom ansible modules that are written in python, you won't wrestle with heavy logic in the template or playbook layer.
* installing software and pulling some configs and scripts down is fine
Donāt use:
* You will spend your days fighting a mix of yaml and Jinja.
* You will end up looking at Python errors because there are no static types.
* errors are cryptic.
7. Use WSL2
You need 32gb of ram, but ram is cheap so choose a good thinkpad
8. Debloat with Recommended Tweaks
Run
irm christitus.com/win | iex
from Administrator Terminal (Powershell)
The link leads to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/mai...
VirusTotal
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/709834b0e003b6bb546cf16e...
9. Get [PowerToys](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys)
10. Use Devbox for containered environment
11. Dual-Booting Linux and Windows
If you use physically separated drives, you donāt need partitioning.
12. Dedicated Windows machine for class
Yes it sure would be the cleanest solution but I prefer one device for everything
13. keep a git repository with all dot files in it
Many people suggested me to use virtualization, otherwise just let Windows be Windows.
Also, backing up seems to be a good practice.
Iām planning to write a blog about this, if it worked.
Again, thank you all for the helps!
