  • I use Plex for my music, which has a lot of mechanisms that help me process new stuff.

    For example, I have a smart playlist that only plays things I haven’t heard in a year. This is my “Frontier” playlist to hear new things. As I listen, I rate stuff with stars.
    From there, I then have smart playlists that only play highly rated things I haven’t heard in a week or two. Depending on my mood, I’ll either listen to my frontier playlist, or my liked playlist… with other playlists further scoping on genre as desired.

    All these playlists filter out things that are lowly rated if I’ve heard them more than X times.

    I generally shove anything/everything anyone recommends into the pot, which then naturally folds into my frontier playlist which then fold naturally into my liked playlists. I’ve discovered quite a lot of stuff I never would’ve predicted I’d like this way. From there, I’ll look at recommended artists from the bands I have and like and add those as well.

    It’s set up on the same box as my caddy install. I believe it’s getting passed the real IP because that’s what gets banned, and what I type in to unban it.

    It just sees normal operations as http probing. Like if some other service goes down, my GetHomepage will then 404 and that’s seen as probing. It bans surprisingly quick. Even after just one or two events (normal for someone just visiting the homepage) it’ll just kick em right out

    I’ve been having to inspect every alert and hand write whitelist parsers to whitelist 404s or whatever it may be for that app. Slowly accumulating a workable collection… but seems like I’m missing something as no one else seems to complain about this in threads like these

    Another example is my brother got banned for normal audiobookshelf usage. He just thought the server was buggy. It was just blocking him without us really noticing or thinking much of it at the time. Not great


  • I’ve been using crowdsec … but I’ve yet to see anyone banned but myself so far. Is everyone else having to write tons of whitelist parsers? I could whitelist my IP but I feel like that’s sidestepping the issue and doesn’t address friends/family also getting banned, coffeeshops, etc.

    Feels like I’m missing something as so far it’s been quite a pain to configure

    Definitely a cool project! Can crack it open to get some API insights. The goals don’t quite line up for me, as I eventually want to actually get the tracks into my Plex setup. Additionally, I’m after a more “assisted curation” where I actively consider new artists and thumbs 👍👎 to let them through, rather than trying to make a radio type feature that passively plays new stuff.

    It’s on my “short” Todo list to write an app that looks at your current library (Plex, for me) and finds related artists through other apis (like Spotify) and exposes a UI to show what things to check out. Maybe some tracking of what you’ve accepted as interesting and still missing so you can grab off Bandcamp or wherever else you get your music. But at least it would help track/expose WHAT bands to seek out
