That sounds like something that should be ARCHIVEd. Just in case a visitor from a different GALAXY wants to use them in the distant future

As a dude that served, fuck yes

I have about 1TB of music, and I’m listening to music all the time. My go-to has been a Jellyfin server with either the desktop client or Finamp on my phone. I used to use Gelli on my phone, but it stopped working a few months ago

Are you in the US? I feel like if we try to implement something like that, our government (attorneys and equity firms) would find a way to make it just as bad as what we have now with more steps

Good luck

To add on this, most musicians make little money off physical releases. If they’re an indie group/artist, they’re probably losing money in the hopes that they gain an audience. Shows usually pay artists (but trust me, not always), and merch always gives artists something to keep them going (unless they’re a victim of a 360 deal).

We can’t take that risk

I respect you for asking

I paid over $1k about 10 years ago for music software. My computer killed itself, so I made a new one and redownloaded the software…but the company said I’m an imposter. After years of fighting with them, they refused to activate my paid software despite proving my identity and showing proof of purchase. I didn’t choose to pirate, the system chose for me

Then I’d suggest SearXNG. I use public instances because no one has made a way for me to natively host it myself, but I recommend it regardless

Yep

Some day surely Windows and Mac will get something similar to SearXNG, then you won’t have to worry about this stuff

RethinkDNS is a great option unless you already have something in place that you want to use as well.

For example, I have a pi-hole and a server that I’d like to use 24/7. There’s a few ways to do it, but I’m an idiot and need a simple, hard-to-ruin method. So I use the pi-hole as an exit node with TailScale

Yes, I am. To be more specific about the custom ROM, I’m trying to find a direct link to a trustworthy source…because I’ve looked and couldn’t find one myself

Jellyfin has been the coolest software I’ve spent time learning, highly recommend

Just tried, but I get an “unable to connect” error on all of my devices

Ah, excuse my ignorance please. I only know about Graphene and Lineage

The fingerprint sensor doesn’t work most of the time, the light sensor thinks its in my pocket when its in my hand (and thinks that its in my hand when its in my pocket), the battery started draining rapidly within a year of purchase, and much more. Is there an Oxygen release for my phone? When I checked about a year ago, all I could find was an unofficial Lineage release that seemed sketchy

Pi-hole and Simplewall, everything except my phone is running Ethernet

Can I get your sources?
