This year has been my first foray into self hosting in general. I have been doing a lot of learning and have a long way to go but have got to the point where I have proxmox running with a few VMs running an arr stack, a jellyfin server and a Plex server.
I’m just super happy to get everything running and now need to fine tune stuff. Currently trying to figure out why the Plex server is down half the time externally.
I’m having a lot of fun!
I used connect for nearly 2 years, I like the way it looks and operated and was fairly happy, however after an update this week that introduced a shit load more bugs and didn’t really fix any of the outstanding ones I finally got sick of it.
So this week I have been using Voyager all week, think I’m gonna jump around a few different ones and try and find a new place to stay.
I dont really care for short form videos anyway and have never used the likes of Instagram / tik tok etc but now that I’m seeing loops videos pop up on my Lemmy feed I’ll occasionally see something I’m interested in. However not being able to mute the video before starting to play it instantly puts me off and as such I ignore anything loops based already…
All of these ideas are great and all but at the end of the day I will be forced to use what ever the scene I am into decides is best and therefore I can find the biggest selection of music to buy.
Currently band camp is the defacto for most releases (except for some idiotic vinyl only bullshit) within the scene I am into, but even if a great alternative is made if they don’t start selling the music I want on there then it’ll be impossible for me to use.
I think as much effort to expose a band camp alternative to artists is needed as there is needed to create the thing so people and artists can come together in said place.
All of my posts on other instances are gone now :/
Just share the folder on soulseek. Probably not advisable for any sensitive information though xD
