I was thinking of the cost of hosting the site rather than paying for the media. Thanks thoigh for the comment about checking the stream source.

Looking through the discord group it looks pretty straight up. Part of the project is an android music player.

Its on fmhy site here https://fmhy.net/audio Has invite link to Discord and Telegram

Im not aware its possible to put malware in a flac file and its still playable. There are a few examples from 2007-2008 but they were to do with flac media players. Microsoft showed you could corrupt the meta data but its then unplayable. I think BlueRingedOctopus comment has the right idea.

If I was I'd be earning a lot more than I do at the moment.

Fair enough. Thought that after I posted.

Its coordinated nudging from western governments across the world. Europe, Aus, NZ, Canada. Its the same messaging coming out of all of them, digital ID, currency etc. Tin foil hat moment, its a UN/WEF push to have global government. Nudge being a small step at a time so you hardly notice your being boiled. The saving grace is governments push for ever increasing control doesn't allow for human nature.

I tried many different options 5 years ago and settled on straightforward text or markup files for all my notes. I use Qownnotes on desktop machines, Markor on Android and synching across all of them. It is very reliable and always in sync. I also do a compressed backup every night.

As others have said, your already streets ahead of the average person by being on Lemmy and knowing what questions to ask. The best way to learn is to try, make mistakes and learn from it. I find the fun is in the learning. I also find AI immensely useful for writing and fine tuning scripts along with specific software questions.

Cheers thanks for that.

I'm just across the ditch. You have to wonder how much Reddit is now just an AI trainer.

Thanks guys for all the replys, much appreciated. Oh well, glad I'm on Lemmy. Seems to be a world wide coordinated shift going on at the moment.

Maybe all those people who I took the piss out of in the past for lining their homes with tin foil weren't so wacko after all, just ahead of their time :)

Many thanks for checking this. When I used the following setting in the extension I didn't see any further calls.

"check update opt-in Check for update of version (on startup and when opening options): check update enabled: NO"
