Unfortunately we have a whole generaton of entitled babies who scream “paywall!!!” every time somebody asks for compensation for their work

But my chromecast transports digital signal to my DAC. Probably better quality than the DAC in the bluetooth speaker

I think the problem is that a lot of people are just running flatpaks, dockers, and third party repos which might not be getting timely updates.

I try to stick to debian packages for everything as much as possible for this reason.

I’ve been using NC since single digit version numbers

The performance increase on v30 is VERY noticeable, especially loading photos.

Where is this abhorrent content? I need to know so i can avoid it…

Docker doesnt replace your current system. It just runs containers (which act like a separate system)

You can also try podman which wont silently rewrite your firewall rules without telling you… I’ll never forgive docker for doing that

People share photos and videos all the time on mastodon. What is the difference with pixelfed?

Omg… I have the EXACT same goal. Qnap and make a better offsite backup process… Been procrastinating for years now

I’m thinking a diy NAS running openmediavault.

Currently doing encrypted backups to google storage archive tier. Very cheap to store, expensive to retrieve.

Thinking maybe i can set up a small box at a family members house for nightly backups

Geez, that still exists too??? Is sharebear still around? Limewire? Kazaa???

awesome! i’ll check this out!

sorry for the n00b question, but why do i need to self host a persistent daemon and then connect to it using a webUI? can’t i just use a soulseek client on my local machine? i’m not really familiar with the architecture of soulseek.

Cool!

Is there any good content on soulseek? The last time i downloaded music from that era, it was all 96kbps realplayer audio files totally mislabelled with the wrong artist

If buying isnt owning then piracy isnt stealing
