Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

    It’s wild.

    They act like they’re some sort of revolutionary industry, but what do they actually produce?

    Nothing.

    They don’t make anything. What they do, is move money from those who are wrong, to those who are right, while significantly disrupting reality by involving financial incentives where they have no business being.



  • Self hosting Stoat is a nightmare at the moment.

    Only the webUI works out of the box, if you want the phone app you need to compile it yourself.

    At least the desktop app now supports connecting to custom instances, but it’s by launch option, not the GUI.

    All that said, my understanding was that you give the code to your friends, and they have to enter it during signup.

    Enabling invite-only doesn’t remove the signup functionality, it adds authentification, so only people with the invite code can pass.




  • I mean if they can really just do nothing, then that is also something it would be good to be sure about.

    Nintendo has shown that it is possible to attack open source projects at the repository level, and while that wouldn’t necessarily stop development, it would be a step down to force development technically “underground”.

    And if instances have to start being regularly replaced, that WILL cause attrition.








  • My combo is Jellyfin+Symfonium

    With Symfonium you can manually download playlists and favorites for offline, and/or have a “rolling cache” where the most frequent listens are automatically kept synced for offline listening.

    My collection is far too large to keep on my phone in its entirety, but with Symfonium I don’t need to, and if I’m ever caught without internet, I’ve still plenty to listen to.

    Jellyfin does not organize the music, it’s a way to browse and access it. For a nice client for desktop, look at Feishin.

    To actually organize the music, you want something like Picard.



  • Lots of good channel suggestions.

    But I would also nominate COSMOS.

    Both the original hosted by Carl Sagan, and the new series with Neil deGrasse Tyson.

    For me, they brought the epicness of reality, scientific history, and the vastness of the universe, into focus in a way nothing else did.

    They made me feel a hopeful and powerful “humanity is fucking AWESOME, and can do INCREDIBLE things”. It’s not just informative. It lights a fire in you for the way humanity fights its way through the dark, using the scientific method as our guide.
