From what I’ve heard from folks outside the US, we’re way past the point of not being the shinning city on the hill. The only thing I see is that if and when the emails come out to public, the US will be so marginalized by the rest of the world that doing business with them will almost be the equivalent as doing business with North Korea (not counting trade embargos), that people will not really care as much anymore. And even if you where in the US you’d be more interested in just surviving the day than caring about the already known pedo in chief running the whitehouse will all his clouns and billionaires. The only thing that could give me joy is that if thefiles come out, the rest of the world powers could make trade embargos with the US and any billionaire that has financial or political ties with the US (specially including tech companies) so those billionaires would either jump ship and line up with the tax laws of the rest of the world or sink with the rest of the us economy.

Heavy rant over

At this point I just want closure, so either let’s all shoot each other nukes, or fucking begone with this danger close bullshit

I know a dude that talks like this… Like I hear his voice when I read this.

Not true, zwave and ZigBee are not required to use the manufacturers apps and you can setup a home assistant server on a raspberry pi in about 20 minutes and never worry about planned obsolescence like this. This is why I never buy WiFi only smart devices that need internet access and an account on an app to control.

Thanks, that’s actually what I’ve been using but I guess something got messed up locally after I copied the data over. Maybe I’ll pass Picard directly over the server side data or try copying the music again because the metadata looks fine locally which was the cause of my confusion.

Ok buddy, go bother other kids now. I obviously know what a VPN is. But you don’t like Jellyfin so keep using whatever you are using and I’ll keep using whatever I’m using.

VPN go burrr

Lol, thanks anyway. Glad your library is not the headache I got

How about… Neither.

I don’t think OP doesn’t know, but I feel like its been said multiple times here, so maybe op either missed it or has a use case where he still wants to use Plex.

I have a Jellyfin server and I don’t need to expose it to the internet. Look at all the posts and comments here about setting up a reverse proxy and to securely expose your server to the internet. But you can also just keep your server locked behind your firewall and only access your network using a self hosted VPN.

With navidrome, my library is a little messed up from what I have on my local and the album art is wrong. Do you know any guide to properly setup navidrome library.

sigh

This is why I switched to Jellyfin and recommend everyone to switch to Jellyfin

Because they probably use an AI to scan your profile

I have a local Gitea hosting that backs up to a private gitlab account on their servers.

Dammit, just got a new keyboard on my phone and it’s annoying.

Fuck no. I don’t need to record my life to share it with the world. Even if people would be interested in it, why do I need to be sharing so much of my life.

I don’t thing so necessarily, look at the Vikings. Sure, they would pillage towns to survive, but even though they discovered America way before Columbus, they didn’t go in and invaded and killed almost every native there like Columbus did. I think the colonization is more of an ideology that came upon some groups that happened to be led by sociopaths (i. e. The Romans, The Greek, and The Mongols).

Hell, look historically at the Incas, the Chinese empire, and the mongols under Ghengis Kahn, none of them weren’t white but they where all colonizers as well, just small fry to the Romans who then turned to the English, Spanish, and I think Dutch.

The other factor is religion, Christianity was a common factor in all these white colonizers who came to America. Buy the real reason was to find gold to fund their expansions. If Columbus wouldn’t have seen any gold jewelry on the chief of that first village and found no other precious metals, who knows what would have happened, maybe other Europeans might have visited later again, but it could have been with a much less colonizer mentality and more of simply exploration.

Later that night…

The 15 farts Orchestra! 😁💨

Ok, so it doesn’t exist because of the training data, couldn’t that be achieved by the self hosted users sharing anonymous training data? Or maybe sharing curated playlists to help the suggestions for others? I totally understand some may see it as a privacy concern, but since the ultimate privacy is becoming disconnected to everyone and everything, there might be a level of sharing that can be achieved where users could feel comfortable.

Note, I just woke up and this makes total sense to me right now, so don’t hate me please.

Isn’t Spotify just using an AI? Couldn’t one self host an AI that plugs into the music library and makes recommendations?

But what about Rachel and Monica?
