    That’s so sweet of them to remind people to start hosting their own subsonic servers already

      I have been doing that for around 10 years already, when I bought my first NAS with Docker capability.

      I keep all my music locally. Ultrasonic app on the go.

      Can someone give me a rundown (or link to a good one) of a comparison between subsonic, jellyfin, plex, and these other services that let you host your own streaming service?

        Here’s the short and sweet.

        SoulSeek - an ancient p2p filesharing system that… For some reason, copyright companies don’t care about, but until they do, there it is and it’s awesome.

        Funkwhale - federated dudes all sharing music together, yeah, some of it is copyrighted because of course it is, also an audio server so you get that too.

        Jellyfin - Great and modern. Makes a good music server by itself. Only reason it really wins over subsonic and the like is support and upkeep. A lot of subsonic apps are dead.

        Plex - Jellyfin (but with corporate overlords)

        Find music on SoulSeek, host on Jellyfin, Funkwhale or whatever *sonic fork is still updated, ???, profit is basically the game. Some people also find utility with apps that strip music directly from Tidal and Spotify. Your mileage may vary.

      I hosted mine but then I realised my ISP doesn’t provide static IP so I couldn’t access it outside my home so I quit

        Just get yourself a Domain and set up dynDNS or similar, which updates your DNS entry IP address, as soon as it changes.

        😌if we just would finally adopt to IPv6…

        You can use something like cloudflare tunnel or a dynamic DNS service (like no-ip)

        Not having a static IP is not a problem at all.

        CGNAT would be a much bigger problem, although also one that can be dealt with

          Same here, got xmanager and Youtube music RVX but still I usually just listen to my ogg, opus, flac or wav music using Aimp cause it’s most reliable that way. Music is ripped using zotify or yt-dlp on pc though.

          The last time I mentioned my choice of player (Samsung Music) I got canceled.

    gotta spend all their time going after users instead of using the millions they get from a transphobic podcaster to actually pay artists and improve the user experience

    So their tactic is boasting about breaking mods and making idle threats to try and scare normies while doing what they’ve been doing, applying fixes and having new modded versions come out that work just fine?

    They did this same thing saying they’d ban people for blocking ads a while back, also astroturfed to hell on Reddit trying to scare people. Ultimately nothing really came from it except a whole lot of fear mongering.

    I’m just glad they haven’t figured out that I’m not actually a student and haven’t been for over 10 years.
