@Psythik Never heard of it, what's the license?@ExcessShiv

@officermike So wrong at the time, so unpredictably justified now. 🤣 @TrantaLocked

@SirLeToet @3abas It's not that I deny Docker's various pecadilloes, butMy servers run ZFS on platters separate from the boot disk(s). My services (self-hosted or whatever) mostly run in Docker containers with compose files. What I get from that, is that I can nuke my server anytime I like, re-import the zpool, go to my docker directory and get everything spinning back up in minutes. Nobody who has to deal with more than one server doesn't use some form of this virtualization, be it VMs, docker or some other Container solution.

@yaroto98 @scottmeme Nah, a blade server is a weird format where servers are long rectangular "blades" that push into and can be pulled out of an enclosure in the rack which holds around 16 of them.How I know: deployed a 500-node render farm at Tangent Animation.

@Zorque I think the point that @lIlIlIlIlIlIl is making - remember, we all want the same thing here - is that every bit of effort put into trying to force Google to act in ways that they will never act again, in the end, is going down a memory hole at the end of its ripple effect on reality. And that's true, and worth acknowledging.However, effort going into technical development of Linux-based portable devices, is only going to come from a select few people, and I would propose to say that the people who are working on new OSH designs for pocket computers that will eventually take the place of these corporate surveillance monoliths, these people are probably not the ones putting time into what we sometimes call "digital activism" (ie. posting on socials about justice). They post, you know, Git PRs.So you know, you're both right, you just need to remember that different people are working on those two goals, and keeping Android as, umm, "sideloadable" as possible while the real nerds continue to save us is a worthy thing to do, if it even delays things by a year.

@Joelk111 @ObsidianZed Symfonium supports Jellyfin as its media source as well, along with just about every other non-streaming-service option you can imagine. I have a copy, it does track mixes that please my ears, just about everything I need anyways.

@foggy @non_burglar I meanWhat if you just want to self-host because it's fun?

@BarbecueCowboy @lIlIlIlIlIlIl VMs are not great to use on non-server hardware anyways - there are a few things on my network which would be more convenient as a VM, but I use docker.

@BruisedMoose @InternetCitizen2 The only reason I'm being fairly passive (this is passive for me) in my criticism and not trumpeting a horn from the mountaintops of the miracle Symfonium is -they are only on one shitty OS that I currently carry around with me but at some point will stop in favour of at least a de-Googled phone, but more like some kinda janky SBC rig I build myself. I expect to lose it at some point.-they are not Free Software.But the actual usage experience of Symfonium is incredible, and does not seem to give a shit if you don't give a shit about metadata, it just handles that geeky bullshit for you. The instant mixes are so good that I'm considering signing up for a streaming service again, just so I can get new music from people I have not already collected. The fact it integrates so damn many sources too.Within its tiny corner of the world (the app store of a corporate reaver) it's quite a thrill. Nobody's Perfect.IMO though, anything that purports to do anything for you as regards your music collection, should meet the minimum standard of working as well as Winamp. Cause Winamp was good enough for the whole world for at decade or more.

@InternetCitizen2 Longtime Jellyfin user, brief and erstwhile Navidrome user.If you are complete on top of your collection's tags, and enjoy managing your tags, and have some solution besides Navidrome to do that management with, you might enjoy Navidrome. Navidrome is intensely dependent on your tags being correct, and it offers no way to edit tags itself, that's entirely your problem. I come from the age of Winamp, which allowed you to edit tags with quite a bit of flexibility, it took me a while to even realize that someone had the audacity to release a music server that didn't manage what it relied on.Oh, and forget about using a folder-based view on Navidrome, it is not a planned feature. The main dev is fixated on tags, but not enough to implement editing them. It's an absurd hill to murder your app on.Where I landed: Jellyfin serves your music collection just fine, and offers a folder view even, and I paid 8 bucks CDN for an Android app called Symfonium, which offers every feature you could want, using your Jellyfin server as the media store. It also connects to Navidrome and many other sources, but Navidrome became completely unnecessary once I got Symfonium.
