I use Jellyfin and Finamp and they work fine. All the old navidrome and airsonic solutions seem to be dead, and I never liked Funkwhale. Who wants all of their music in encrypted block storage?

I also like the quality bump. When I’m not streaming, my music is in FLAC on a DAP with some high quality cans. I can’t get that with Spotify on a phone, and I camp and hike a lot in areas without cell service, so having it with me is a plus.

Music sits in between storing movies and books. I have less than 2TB in total but the amount of albums is more than the amount of films that I have, and that’s 7TB+. Music, even FLAC, isn’t terrible on space, unless you’re a 24-bit fiend.

Maybe this will make me happy…

Because of course someone already needed a solution to this very problem. I’ll give it a shot.

It’ll get worse, so don’t go making any bets or anything. I know being an optimist is cool and all, but seriously.

I use beets but for japanese bands, it tends to pick Japanese characters, I guess I’ll have to be more specific with my importing.

Only if you’re borrowing the hot chocolate and allow them to walk into your kitchen and repossess it whenever they want.

Keep re-releasing it so I can not buy it again and again.

Pepe might as well be Lemmy face now as widespread as it is. I see him used on steam profiles and Facebook friends who have zero connection to conservative anything. They just think he’s cute and usable in millions of ways.

He is, admittedly.

Does this cup hold infinite water?

Would any?

Let’s create millions of copies of BOTW and delete them so Nintendo loses a few billion.

Preservation is an invasive and destructive process. Recreating the experience of watching ‘The Daily Show’ in the 90s or early '00s is already impossible. Language and culture mildew and rot just like leather and wood.

EDIT: People don’t seem to understand what I’m talking about. Even the people who are responding in good faith seem confused. That’s on me. So I thought I’d try to clarify with an example.

Take the Mona Lisa. Perhaps one of the most preserved objects in history. It’s so well preserved that it’s impossible to see. Sure, you can look at it, but you won’t see it. Taking a picture of the painting is encouraged, but you can’t get a look at it in your camera roll either.

If you saw the actual painting hanging on a friend’s wall, your first thought would probably not be “what a masterpiece”, but “why didn’t they remove the default print that came with the frame”? If you go to Paris, you can wait in line to have the “Mona Lisa experience” but the painting you saw wasn’t hanging on the wall, what you’ll see is the Mona Lisa you brought with you.

(yes, I stole this example from ‘were in hell’ youtube channel)

Figured I’d make a copy. Who knows, the OP might change it in the future. Gotta preserve the past and all.

Yep, my shelf of DVDs of movies I loved growing up became 4TB of media on a Jellyfin server, cloned to a cold drive I leave in my closet.

Well there’s borrowing, but I feel that’s what we’re all already doing.

You’ve never heard of K-pop sensation, Wii U?

To your credit, Nintendo’s golden age is well behind them. Most of the best games they’re likely to ever make are already runnable on PC, especially since they’ve been kinda phoning it in for the last decade or so.

Not only do they. They willingly do.

Joke’s on you, we all use btrfs with snapper.

We are very aware!

Jazz, to me, a layman to the genre comes off as anything from Miles Davis and Duke Ellington to soundtracks composed for animes, to progressive epics that span twenty minutes and spin into a free form improv that’s somewhere between art and math.

But aside from it being a flavor other things come in, like a jazzy rock band, Mars Volta or a jazzy metal band, like Opeth, or a jazzy singer, like Michael Buble, I don’t know jazz.

I don’t think as a normal person that I’m exposed to pure “jazz”, whatever it dilutes into, but I’m fascinated by the chance that there might be something I’m missing that you might mention.

My mom won’t stop continually trying to cure her type 1 diabetes with every conceivable bullshit product known to mankind, assured by God and stubbornness that it can be done. Most of it, she hides from her doctor.

This week it’s mushroom coffee. Last month it was CBD pills. Usually always from Facebook ads. I give her a lecture every time. She ignores it every time. It’s basically all she spends he money on and you can’t tell her not to. Sometimes it isn’t even an online product and I’ll find every salt container in the trash can.

we don’t eat salt anymore, it’s the problem

Then I have to wrestle all of it back out, explain the history of cooking from 2000 years to now and why is important then ask who on earth told her that.

Every. Single. Week and she falls for it every single time. Ugh.
