Been off Spotify for over a year now after being on for about 15 years (2008-2023 I think). Trying to prioritize buying music from contemporary artists who are not big. Not too sure about the best places to buy from though, after Bandcamp was sold and laid off a bumch of people. Where does Qobuz or 7digital stack up in terms of paying the artists?
I’m so glad I’ve gotten off the big tech bandwagon by now…
First they pioneered USB-C-charging for phones, and now they invent USB-C-charging for peripherals! Mind blown, truly visionary stuff from Apple.
Did not show up on my work laptop running Win 11.
Was going to be my solution as well, bjt Syncthing-Android just got discontinued.
It also has a local API
I experience little breakage with Librewolf, and when I do, maybe 75-85% of the time it is because the site only works with Chromium. I get extensions directly through the browser, I have not enabled anything as far as I am aware. And of course you can configure the cookie clearing. I quite like it, there are (in my case at least) not many exceptions you need to add before it works quite smoothly, but of course that depends on your usage.
Obligatory post mentioning that Freetube exists on Android as well. With Syncthing, I sync history, playlists and subscriptions. It’s brilliant.
Disconnect it from your network. Hard to serve ads if it can’t contact the servers it is pulling them from.
Are you me? Except I use FreeTube instead of Piped. I am so happy with this solution. Years of discontent of watching services going through the enshittification cycle… everything just becoming so underwhelming. This has given me back freedom over my own media consumption. No ads. No endless scrolling through bullshit content. Just a nicely personally curated selection of movies and TV shows (on Jellyfin) and an ad-free YouTube-experience with sponsorblock and dearrow enabled, and blocking of live chats and shorts.
Reminds me of the movie Her, where all kinds of heartfelt letters were outsourced to professional agencies.
My laptop came preinstalled with Linux :)
The transfer I would assume is encrypted, but it is the files at rest I am interested in making sure is encrypted.
Interesting. Would require the use of some of the unsafe features, but at first glance it does look like this could work.

No, as I’d want it to be protected in the case someone gets a hold of the device in an unlocked state.
I found Syncthing very nice to work with, and successfully synced between my two device, so I would love to keep using it. But as it is now, I would have to sync the unencrypted files on both my devices. Not sure how it will behave if I try to sync the mounted drive on my computer, if the vault is locked.
