Get to acquiring Seagate external HDDs and shucking them for your own 3.5" drive bays before the data centers get them

I'm building my first Linux setup and have a NAS planned out. I'm so stoked. I got a raspberry pi kit from my dad as an Xmas gift yesterday.

At 100 now and it looks like I need to quadruple

40TB LOL. Where we're going, we're gonna need more space! Back to the Space, Part IV!

‘And avoid it?’ — ‘To avoid it, right?!’

I got half a quesadilla and a shiny rock

Yep, most of tracks were already available on "various" sources, but this time they directly scraped the whole Spotify database.

It's really nice from them to backup Spotify database on a distributed system, and for free ! This ensure Spotify business won't be endanger in case of critical hardware failure.

Not mine, because I’m not famous enough for people to pirate my music lol. It would be flattering for me to be included in this batch of scraped music.

90% of Spotify is trash. Much like Audible, it's just choking on AI generated content and similar worthless vanity projects

data hoarders already have everything in here and far more, and the web release versions are a lower priority. thinking of red.sh here

Sounds more like the pirate queen.

On their torrent page it's explained more but it's broken up into many many torrents and you basically say how much space you're willing to host and it generates one with the least seeded "blob".

I don't really know how that would work on the back end but it seems technically impressive.

Given some of the collections I've seen on private trackers I'd say there is going to be quite a few seeding this in its entirety.

Interesting post. There was one artist with popularity = 100 but they didn’t mention who it was

Is it down for anyone else?

Stremio + Torrentio does this for TV but I haven't found an equivalent for music. Hoping to be proven wrong 🤞

I wonder how they are splitting it up in different torrents and how many.

They are splitting it up right? 😁

Direct stream may be phase 2

Sure, you set it up.

Tidal lost me immediately when it took 3 months for them to recognize my cancelation of my subscription.

I moved to qobus. It's not owned by untied states capital.

I tried Tidal but they have a glitch on their app where downloaded songs get stuck and playlists stop downloading. They’ve had a bug open about it for at least three years last I checked. It may sound niche, but I’m often traveling and use offline music regularly

The price for restored refurbished HDDs has already gone up compared to a year or so ago
