I hope not. We're just at a point where we can emulate Switch games easily

Oh well. Google is dying, I'll be laughing the whole way

Well? Is Google back?

You can get FLAC with a premium ARL. This is what I do.

If you're at all interested in downloading your music, you could look into deemix.

Think you might be lost.

If you have your own domain, give it a shot. If it gives you problems, point your DNS to some other solution.

Privacy is tricky. I've seen complaints that anything you post stays forever. But honestly, is that what you consider private?

Do you think it's more private to make and delete posts than to just use a VPN and an anonymous account? Having the ability to delete posts doesn't help your privacy at all. At least there's no advertisers being sold all our data.

And the chat thing really needs fixed. But for quick one-off messages, it's fine. Maybe just too exchange secured accounts

My first server was a Lenovo Thinkpad T420. It was given to me for free from my job. It did great. Built in screen, mouse/keyboard, and a built in UPS. Eventually I upgraded my server, and my new one has none of those.

Factorio. And the game before that? Factorio. It's a good game.

I'm hosting Photoprism, now. But man, do I just barely use it. I'm not a photographer, and I always have the worst camera of anyone around me, so I'm never taking pictures. It's running, and I'm not taking it down. But it did teach me to use docker compose. I switched everything I had after that.

Matrix was one that was hard to justify. It was just too heavy. My dream has always been "use one app for all communication". I bridged Signal, Discord, and Facebook. Problem number 1 was that SMS is like impossible to set up. Problem 2 no one uses Signal except me and my wife. Problem 3 was that my Facebook got flagged for suspicious activity, and they wanted my ID to recover it. I used this as a chance to ditch Facebook, but I also ditched Matrix at this time. Signal supports SMS, so I could do more with it than Matrix. I'll probably try again down the line.

My most used service is definitely my music service, Navidrome. You might try it, it's very light. I used to keep all my files on my phone like you. And my phone had an SD slot, so storage wasn't an issue. But I couldn't listen from any of my computers, or at work. After I made the switch, I painstakingly re-'aquired' all of my music in FLAC, and have my phone set with a size limit of music to cache, as well as always downloading my favorites.

 

They aren't the most controversy-free group, but there's a lot of value in their existence, especially for people newly working toward privacy. It's also nice to see more groups acknowledging Lemmy

 

I'm hosting and running a Lemmy just for myself, and am having no problem with it. Lemmy is great. But I'm looking to branch out, and see what else exists out there.
