I use navidrome[0], its a music streaming server you can selfhost and then use a player that supports the subsonic api for playback. I use the strawberry[1] music player on my desktop and substreamer[2] on android. Navidrome can also scrobble your music to last.fm if you tell it to. The actual music files are mounted with rclone and --vfs-cache-mode full to a directory.
Yes, moderators routinely downweight tutorial articles for that reason. It took us years to realize it, but tutorials aren't a good fit for Hacker News.
HN is for articles that gratify intellectual curiosity. Most tutorials don't do that; it doesn't fit with being a recipe for a task. If a recipe were to dive deeply into how and why its steps work, how they got that way, and compared other recipes that have (or don't have) similar steps, it would gratify intellectual curiosity better. But then it would be a worse recipe. It would also be more work to write.
The worst kind of tutorial from an HN point of view is the kind filled with arbitrary details that apply only to a particular program or product, like "Now put a file named foo in a directory called baz". But that is almost all of them.
We’re recently running two machines (master and standby) at M5 Hosting. All of HN runs on a single box, nothing exotic:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2637 v4 @ 3.50GHz (3500.07-MHz K8-class CPU)
FreeBSD/SMP: 2 package(s) x 4 core(s) x 2 hardware threads
Mirrored SSDs for data, mirrored magnetic for logs (UFS)
These blender-based shaded relief images have been popping up a fair bit in the geomatics space recently. I really love them, but they are fairly complicated to make. I developed the open-source geospatial platform WhiteboxTools (developed in pure Rust) to help with tasks like this. You can create multi-scale hillshade images with it and the type of shadow model displayed above as well with one click:
