@clark Ugh. You could probably get away with multiple cloud storage services then, and mapping their folders to the music player of your choice. Also, use file types that are generally smaller in size for storing music (like opus or ogg). For cloud services, use the ones whose apps support Storage Access Framework so they can appear in the default Android File Manager / File Picker thing (you can also use something like Round Sync to access them all, and it does all the job for you). If you’re willing to pay for cloud storage, then one single provider with 100-200 GB can also be more than enough for your music needs if you own more than just a few songs.

Then you can add the folders in your music player settings.

Edit: Don’t forget to also backup your music somewhere in case something happens with your phone or your cloud provider(s)

Where should I store the music?

I just store it in the music folder of every device I own. I have a 1 TB hard drive on my PC and my phone has 128 GB of internal storage, with an SD card slot.

I haven’t any clue about self-hosting. I’m running GrapheneOS, is it enough to save the songs in Files and play in an app like Auxio? Maybe sync with SyncThing?

Yes. Any music player will generally prompt you to scan for your files upon first opening.

Edit: didn’t notice your first question. Well, I just get them from everywhere, lol. If you have a tracker that you use for anything, be sure that there will be some music there. If you cannot find it, then just refer to the FMHY’s list of various tools to download music from just about anywhere: Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud you name it. I also buy music from Bandcamp as it supports downloading it directly for an unlimited amount of times and in any of the most popular formats, or just go to the band’s concert and buy their album directly. This way you’re also supporting the artists directly with your money (if you care about it).

@princessnorah Romanian here. We’re generally not using VPNs because ISPs do not seem to care that much. Even so, there is a popular private tracker (I won’t advertise it here) which has pretty much all you need, especially movies and popular software. If you use that one, you can be 100% sure nothing will happen to you.

Edit: we also have non-permanent IP addresses by default, so if anything, I can just restart my router, and I am assigned a new one.

@hendrik

@ModernRisk Not really Mastodon, but I’m on Friendica and I receive posts and comments from db0 just fine.

You can also follow communities from here just like you’d follow a normal person (e.g. @communityusernamebellowthetitle@instance.domain. For this it would be piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com)

@kersploosh For everyone who is on #Friendica or other Fediverse platforms that support #calendar event subscription I created this event:

libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1…

If you cannot access your link, just paste it in your search bar, and it should find it (I made sure it is a public event).

Let me know if you have issues.

@Protoman64 Kbin has a separate interface for microblogging and groups, that’s why it’s not that obvious. For Lemmy, well, there’s no type of blogging to begin with.

Friendica really shines in this regard, as it has the ability to interact with both groups and regular people in the same feed, while the posts are also clearly marked as such. 😁

@testing777

No worries! Also from Friendica

Yea 😁 There are plenty of other FOSS games that are also in the Steam Store as well, like OpenTTD, Battle for Wesnoth or Red Eclipse

Desktop mode so far. Didn’t try it directly yet.

0AD I guess

@Fubarberry no worries!

And which version was the beta channel?

@Telorand I play Stardew Valley for days without charging, so I guess it could definitely last you an entire trip.

Why aren’t you taking the train? Depending where you live, they might have power sockets in there (trains here usually have)

@k110111 The Fediverse is more than just Mastodon. Don’t be shy of trying out other social networks as well, as they have a pretty good compatibility with Mastodon.

I just wanted to get rid of Facebook. So, I don’t know what did I think about, but I chose Friendica. From here I managed to follow many of the pages that I was following there, over on Mastodon.

News pages have the biggest share in the accounts that I follow, but I also found other accounts, such as @godpod or @DarthPutinKGB

@Obi /c/s is not long (albeit a bit complicated to write, on phone at least) and it could easily be expanded verbally, so you know that /c/s = communities.

On Friendica, everything that is not a person or a page is displayed as a group. As a Facebook alternative, it does make sense, but for you in the Lemmy world I imagine it would sound a bit bland. 😁

@Excrubulent

@blindsight pretty much everywhere mods add a lot of extra life to the game 😁 but for Stardew Valley specifically, I haven’t modded it yet. If I get bored though, I might.

@Fubarberry Can I also use my deck as a PS5 controller and, like, play with a friend?

Whatever else I play, I always come back to Stardew Valley. There’s always something you can do there, and there’s always something you can find. It just never gets me bored.

Sci-Hub should still be around, I guess…
