      Get to acquiring Seagate external HDDs and shucking them for your own 3.5" drive bays before the data centers get them

      I’m building my first Linux setup and have a NAS planned out. I’m so stoked. I got a raspberry pi kit from my dad as an Xmas gift yesterday.

        I also used a raspberry pi (5). People here will advise against it but for me it’s been working fine so far. I can stream 4K with Jellyfin on my local network just fine. Read/write speeds aren’t great but good enough for me. I used a Pi hat with 5x SATA ports and I have 5x 8TB HDDs in a custom 3D printed enclosure and I’m using ZFS RAID z1. No complaints yet.

      My soon to be homeserver will have an astonishing 4TB of space. The CPU can handle up to 15TB (according to official specifications), but I am lacking drives that are big enough.

      If I ever get the money to build a proper NAS I will 100% start going all in on Storage and start doing stupid shit like mirroring Wikipedia. I will probably not start mirroring the entirety of Spotify (which would be kinda sick NGL.), but I kind of have the problem that I Am kind of a data hoarder that likes to store excessive amounts of stuff I will never need. In the future I will also start seeding all the music I have, but I need a VPN with port forwarding for that beforehand (I’m currently kinda broke, so won’t happen that fast)

    As far as I’ve read, the database is largely low bitrate files, and some AI. The value here is metadata and preservation of “rare” music.

      It’s not lossless but current ogg vorbis at 160kbps is absolutely transparent for the vast majority of people. That’s actually what I chose to keep my own collection, I mean, outside of the lossless albums that I absolutely want to flawlessly preserve.

    Moved to Tidal. Reviews from some tech-site said “It’s like Spotify 10 years ago.” as if that’s a bad thing.

    Loving the FLAC quality and non-enshittification.

        I love Qobus. I heard they also pay the artists more fairly. It’s just unfortunate that some big artists are still missing. And from what I can see subscriptions only work via the Google Play store.

    Well, at least the datahoarders can preserve some things when it all goes to shit…

      90% of Spotify is trash. Much like Audible, it’s just choking on AI generated content and similar worthless vanity projects

    Now do Netflix, Prime, Paramount, HBO, Disney, Hulu and Apple and we’re golden.

    Would be a magical day the day copyright dies.

    I buy music on Bandcamp to support artists and then stream music via my own Plex server

    How many full seeds are there? I mean how many could there be? Who has 300 Tb to throw at this?

      On their torrent page it’s explained more but it’s broken up into many many torrents and you basically say how much space you’re willing to host and it generates one with the least seeded “blob”.

      I don’t really know how that would work on the back end but it seems technically impressive.

      Given some of the collections I’ve seen on private trackers I’d say there is going to be quite a few seeding this in its entirety.

    I know, I read about this news, but nowhere did I find this torrent file that they are talking about, do you know where they sent it to what site, and if this is just for the sake of information, do I condemn piracy?🧐

    I have 3gb of space to share. Are there 150 other people like me that want to do some distributed hosting? What technology can handle this?

    99% of the “original” Spotify’s contents are crap or AI bloat. The rest was already on torrent before.

      They break this down on their page, but while that’s certainly true-ish for the last year or two the bulk of the collection is from before that.
