#GNUDB seems to be a more complete archive of music CDs. I'm ripping a whole book of old #music CDs to FLAC and I've been using Asunder because it uses the gnudb music library. Just out of curiosity I tried a few of them in Rhythmbox and Sound Juicer, both of which seem to use #MusicBrainz. Not only did they not fill in the "genre" of any of the discs, but there have been a couple so far that were listed in gnudb but not MusicBrainz. I may kick gnudb a donation, 🙂

Finally had the time to fully download, organize, convert, tag, and import all 218 episodes of the KPunk podcast. It was from the early days of podcasting, this guy assembled an episode, usually every two week, 45’sh minute, mix tape style, punk music of every kind, and vowed to never play the same song twice.

Now it goes on the navidrome server for workouts and random listening!

(Trying to grab some old podcasts, worried they might disappear. Next up is Limetown)

How reliable is SnapRAID?

programming.dev/post/29024067

programming.devHow reliable is SnapRAID? - programming.devSnapRAID doesn’t compute the parity in real time, so there’s this window between making a change to the data and syncing where your data isn’t protected. The docs [https://perfectmediaserver.com/02-tech-stack/snapraid/#is-snapraid-right-for-me] say > Here’s an example, you acquire a file and save it to disk called ‘BestMovieEver.mkv’. This file sits on disk and is immediately available as usual but until you run the parity sync the file is unprotected. This means if in between your download and a parity sync and you were to experience a drive failure, that file would be unrecoverable. Which implies that the only data at risk is the data that’s been changed, but that doesn’t line up with my understanding of how parity works. Say we have three disks that store 1 bit of information and a parity drive: 101 parity 0. If we modify the data in the first disk (data 001 parity 0), then the data is out of sync. Say we now lose disk 2 (data 0?1 parity 0). How does it then recover that data? We’re in an inconsistent state where the remaining data tells us that drive 2 used to hold 0^1^0=1 when it actually held a 0. So doesn’t that mean that between any modifications and a sync operation, all your data in that disk region is now at risk? Does SnapRAID do anything special to handle this?
