  • If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting?

    Jump

  • My background is in graphic design/marketing and I’ve mostly worked in the non-profit sector. A few years ago I canceled my Spotify subscription after they hiked up the prices and decided I wanted a way to stream my own music collection from anywhere. I found Navidrone, began learning docker, fell down the Jellyfin/arr rabbit hole, and eventually stumbled upon Cosmos Server as a simpler way to expose my containers safely. It’s been a fun project and a welcoming community so far.

  • I recently sold my Ender 3v2 to buy a Qidi Q1 Pro and I’m very pleased with my purchase.

  • Is Stremio/Torrentio giving anyone else issues?

    Jump

  • Idk if this helps anyone else but recently I couldn’t get any torrent results to load in Stremio so I did some digging and it turns out the developer of the plugin made changes and it no longer works with a VPN. If I turn off my VPN the torrent results will load and then I turn my VPN on again to stream as normal (I don’t have Real Debrid and live in the US so VPN is necessary)

    I’m sure the gb will be a hit!

  • Self-hosted music streaming (and me giving up on it)

    Jump

  • Like you I try to support artists by purchasing physical media or releases on Bandcamp. Outside of that I get my music on Soulseek, through torrents, Usenet, and occasionally XDCC. I don’t need lossless files and even if I download FLACs I transcode them to 320kbps MP3 before they go on my iPod anyway. The harder it becomes to acquire music legally the less bad I feel about downloading with abandon.

  • Awesome! If you do I'd love to hear how it goes. I'm sure I'm not the only person trying this but I haven't found much online from other users yet.

  • I absolutely don’t need (nor can I afford) another QAZ but this is just too good and I must have it 🤤

  • What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?

    Jump

  • Streaming my own music was the reason I got into self-hosting in the first place and I’ve been satisfied with Navidrome for over a year now. My preference is to stream via an app on my phone but I’ve made accounts for a couple friends and they stream happily on multiple devices using the browser interface.

  • How to get started with pirating music (mp3s)?

    Jump

  • As stated, my reason is that I was paying Spotify more money for less music and I was unhappy with that. You pointed out yourself that musicians barely get by in the streaming era so I would rather support them on Bandcamp (I know it has it’s own issues) or buying physical media whenever possible rather than pirating. Streaming platforms may make music you want to listen to seemingly affordable and accessible but that’s not the case for everyone. This is my personal experience.

  • How to get started with pirating music (mp3s)?

    Jump

  • it’s easier to just sub to something like Apple Music… literally $110/yr for all the music that exists.

    As others have stated, not all music exists on every streaming platform. That alone is enough of a reason for me. I recently canceled my longtime Spotify subscription because the price kept increasing while my library kept decreasing. I actually don’t pirate music when I can help it because I’d rather support artists on Bandcamp or purchasing physical media directly. If I can’t do that then I head to Soulseek!

  • GIMP is fine but who can find me replacements for After Effects and Premiere Pro? I need software for video editing/motion graphics and these are the two apps keeping me shackled to Adobe for now…

  • how do i access channel 4 election coverage outside the uk for free?

    Jump

  • I’ve had good luck accessing Channel4 via the NordVPN browser extension in Firefox. Using my desktop VPN (OpenVPN) stopped working some months ago as it was detected by the site but it seems the browser extension flies under the radar.

  • is there any program to force a linux based OS or a mac to only use outlet power and not battery power, even if I cannot physically remove the battery?

    Jump

  • I’m a MacBook user and I’ve been very happy with AlDente. It took some reading to understand all the features but I really believe it’s made a difference in the health of my battery.

  • Is there a Universal Playlist which is privacy friendly?

    Jump

  • Not a playlist per se but Datafruits.fm is a cooperative online radio station

  • Anyone have a good place to find British panel shows?

  • Oh how dare you get it stuck in my head 🤣

    Jump

  • I've been doing this for a few years using AirVPN but it seems like that stopped working after January 1st. Videos would not play unless I used the NordVPN browser plugin, this seems to be a workaround for some VPN restrictions. I do enjoy the commercials!
