Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update (fandomwire.com)

Recent reports have announced that Crunchyroll, the largest anime streaming service, will be replacing Aegisub with Israeli Software, OOONA, to produce subtitles more efficiently. Anime fans across the world are disappointed with this collaboration due to Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians (via a report by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry).

Crunchyroll is also ignoring the needs of groups who require Closed Captions to understand the scenes better. They are isolating a large chunk of their audience in favor of AI-based subtitling, which defeats the point of a streaming service. Overall, this hasn’t been a great year for Crunchyroll, and this won’t be the end of it.

Honest question, did you try self-hosted music?

Few weeks ago I thought this was a joke but... there is a TON of stuff out there already.

From the "rough"

to having mobile apps

  • navidrome (with updates via lidarr)

to minimalist

to federated

to handling discovery

... there is just so much out there!

    Edit: since I wrote this message (15min ago) I setup LMS thanks to podman and shared it via ngrok and my wife can listen to my music on her phone instantly.

    So... yeah it's that quick and convenient.

    Is it perfect, definitely not, but it's also very quick to get started and to reconsider.

    Spent another 5min to scp the container and ~/Music on my RPi5, which I keep on 24/7, has a 512Go microSD and tailscale... and I guess that's it, I have my own music server. I don't have discovery on though but still, already useful!

    Another update on that front, I added on my RPi5 :

    • yt-dlp which I use with its -x audio only option on RSS feeds from DJs
    • tested then added that to nightly crontab to get updates
    • configured LMS for hourly database scan
    • tone in order to update tags on files and try to organize my ~/Music directory

    So it's still nowhere near as good as the music streaming service I used so far BUT it's getting there!

    what is tone? curious on how you set up the rss feed ingest as well if you would be open to sharing.

    tone

    this one https://github.com/sandreas/tone "tone is a cross platform audio tagger and metadata editor to dump and modify metadata for a wide variety of formats, including mp3, m4b, flac"

    regarding RSS feed I just download them regularly, e.g on crontab one can add 0 3 * * * cd ~/Music && ~/bin/yt-dlp -x https://hearditherefirst.blog/category/dubstep/feed/ but if you need something a bit more refine with filtering consider e.g. jc --xml withjq and `wget.
