oh wow yeah, the MusicBrainz connection makes it a much nicer job. I had a quick look at beets (command line thing) which can draw from a few more DBs like Discogs, but ultimately preferred Picard

it’s definitely the most stable & featureful thing I’ve found. It takes a lot of building to “make a resolume”, but it is possible!

2026-08-05 17:05:02 CEST

- reply

Well, that's looking a lot tidier already! I'm basically making this to replicate my Resolume workflow, 'cause Resolume REFUSE to package for Linux.
Won't there be egg on my face if they do package it, like, next week...

hm, I reckon if you’re hosting Owncast you might as well host Ghost too? Both are quick to do in Docker.
DMCA: none of that to deal with at all. It just doesn’t come up, even for the DJ streams I know of. I guess someone would have to go to the trouble of reporting a VOD?

New blog post: "I'm a professional streamer".
An exciting new development in non-corpo livestreaming: Owncast is getting plugins! I've put two new tools on my Codeberg, both to do with Ghost (like Patreon but cooler) livestream integrations.

Yeah I will say, there is a lot more resources for Hugo than Zola at the moment. So it might still be a good bet, depending on what theme you fancy?

oh, am running a few different websites in Hugo... it was getting pretty annoying with all the different themes needing different Hugo versions, having to reinstall Hugo every time I wanted to update one of em 😅
