  • Good idea.

    You can still get the newest DD-WRT builds even on the WRT54G.
    That is a Wi-Fi router from 2002.

    Of course, the features are sort of limited. I tried the VPN build (on WRT54GL), but I couldn’t get the OpenVPN client to connect. I found some thread mentioning it may be missing something, but I don’t know if that’s the issue.

    Anyway, without overclocking I’d expect like 2Mbps. I mean, it barely handles HTTPS. Just trying to load the WebUI maxes out the CPU for several seconds if trying to use HTTPS.
    Perhaps it’s not missing anything software-wise, but it’s just so slow it times out during handshake.
    So I just put the std build on it in case it will be useful at some point.





  • My lazy way is NGINX with autoindex.

    If it’s to go over untrusted network (e.g.: internet, school network) I use SSH for port forwarding. Lazy encryption.

    Something like this works just fine:

    worker_processes 1;
    daemon off;
    events {
    }
    http {
            default_type application/octet-stream;
            server {
                    root /storage/emulated/0/sharedfile;
                    listen 127.0.0.1:30000;
                    location / {
                          autoindex on;
                    }
            }
    
    }
    

    sharedfile is a directory with the files.
    On remote machine if I am not mistaken

    ssh -L 127.0.0.1:8080:127.0.0.1:30000 username@host
    

    Then just access it in web browser on 127.0.0.1:8080 or whatever port you chose.
    In PuTTY you can find this under “Tunnels”.

    Of course, you need to have SSH server set up as well.












  • Find the albums you want to download on Tidal, copy the album URL, and paste it here: https://doubledouble.top/

    You’ll get the correct metadata, including lyrics!
    But sure, there are drawbacks. Not that many people can download music at once, so you get this:

    Don’t worry, it’s usually not stuck, but that number just won’t update.

    Alternatively, look at Soulseek. A P2P music sharing platform.

    For both cases, I recommend checking the files with Spek. It’s possible someone even took a 160kbps MP3 and converted it to 24-bit 192kHz FLAC.
    You’ll need to find how the spectrum looks for different lossy codecs at different bitrates to approximately see what you’re looking for (specific cut-off frequencies and shelving). And sometimes it may be confusing due to how the songs are mastered.
    You decide if you care. Probably not since you were ripping songs from YouTube.
