Mine would be as well, but tbh I don’t love the kodi UI. At least I didn’t a few years ago when I tried it.

Maybe Nvidia will drop a new shield with DP support, but not going to hold my breath on that

That’s interesting, I wasn’t aware of that.

Would you need one of these per physical server, or can they connect to multiple ?

Nice! I’ve been needing a good CardDAV option. Would you consider supporting Backblaze B2? It’s generally around 4x more cost-effective than Amazon S3, depending on usage patterns.

Regarding markdown to HTML conversion, you might want to check out Jekyll’s templating system. Combined with an Obsidian WebDAV plugin, you’d have an excellent workflow!

Nice, I’ll be following closely!

How do you support deduping if encryption at rest is enabled?

What’s the roadmap look like for v1.0.0 release?

Edit: Looks like roadmap is laid out in the github https://github.com/sciactive/nephele

Your point feels like a false cause or an appeal to emotion fallacy.

It’s not Spotify’s responsibility that some artists choose to leverage their platform to promote OnlyFans or other side ventures. Artists have the autonomy to seek alternative income streams or even pursue entirely different careers if they find Spotify’s payouts insufficient. Blaming Spotify for these decisions ignores the broader context of the music industry and the role record labels play in revenue distribution.

Additionally, streaming platforms have helped reduce piracy and provided exposure to artists who might not have had it otherwise. The issue is much more nuanced than streaming services bad.

Being an artist doesn’t inherently entitle someone to make a lot of money. Success and income in any field depend on demand, skill, and market conditions. For example, writers often face similar challenges—many authors spend years creating books that may never generate significant income, and only a small percentage achieve financial success. Like musicians, they must often supplement their income through other means, such as teaching, freelancing, or speaking engagements.

Just as no one expects every writer to become a bestseller, it’s unrealistic to assume every musician will earn a substantial income solely from their art.

That said, given my views, I also do not want to be on platforms like Spotify. The music industry as a whole needs to make meaningful changes—finding a way to pay artists fairly, provide a robust recommendation engine, and maintain affordability for consumers. Until these systemic issues are addressed, the current model will continue to leave many artists struggling.

Sure, Spotify could raise their rates 100% and increase their payouts, but that wouldnt stop the record labels from taking their 80+%, as part of the contract the artist signed, and the consumer would end up falling back to piracy.

My listenbrainz recs are kinda meh compared to last.fm. I scrobble to both, and maloja via multi-scrobbler.

What server do you use to host your music? Would love to set up one of the *arrs to auto download recs from the different scrobble databases and then delete them after a week or so if I don’t “like” the track. Are you aware of any client can support that flow?

I will say, none of the scrobble DBs I have used have recommendations as good as Spotify. Daylists are pretty sweet. I do think the Spotify API is free to use but I havent taken a dive in on what I can get from it

According to the RIAA, Spotify is a leading contributer to music revenue going up over the past decade plus https://www.riaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2022-Year-End-Music-Industry-Revenue-Report.pdf

Prior to spotify, people bought songs or albums, and were locked into their favorites or pirated music, which obviously contributed nothing to artist’s pockets.

Spotify is not the evil entity here, in my opinion. Record labels are.

Edit: Unsure how reliable of a source this is, but steaming reduced piracy levels by ~20% https://www.alliotts.com/articles/streaming-has-a-consumer-and-a-piracy-problem-the-answer-lies-in-the-music-industry/

I do think that we have become far removed from the old days, because music piracy was extremely prevelant before these services came out.

This is a completely disingenuous comparison.

Is there some meme I’m unaware of, or are all of these other commenters bots?

This “outlet” is barely a news outlet and keeps getting posted on Lemmy recently…
