the main way i get music files (320kbps mp3) is through the Soulseek network, which many commenter have mentioned. what has been left out is the best client to get into that network, that is free and open source software, which is Nicotine+. it work on any desktop OS

torrents are still valid but you won’t find many artists there

Monero

isn’t Izzy’s full of closed source stuff?

ok, maybe someone else might be able to help you properly, since i’m yet to do my planned Jellyfin home setup

but it seems to me that maybe instead of running the VPN directly from you Pi, you should run it from you router, so your whole subnet is tunneled when going to the internet and inside your home you don’t need those shenanigans to connect to the Pi

if you did this, then you only need to install your mediaserver on the Pi (either Plex or Jellyfin, and although i haven’t used any yet, Jellyfin seems to be the one not currently being shitified, and the complete FOSS route) and that will probably be a much easier installation

what “stuff” are you talking about?

if you want to do some pirating you need a decent VPN, like Mullvad or Proton, that you run on your system (Android/Linux/Windows/iOS), not some random leaky and dubious browser add-on

dunno why dafuq you’re mentioning configuring a webserver (with SWAG) to point the DNS records (A and CNAME). the VPN will act as a proxy for you. but maybe i’m just way out of my depth here…

it might help if first you tell us what exactly are tou trying to achieve

i forgot about that criteria, being FOSS. i’ve used AnyDesk before, but avoid doing so now.

i’ve also used Remmina, but some of the people i support use Windows Home edition, which doesn’t include an RDP server. i don’t kbno if i could use it with VNC

i’ve been using it to support friends and works very well, the weird part is that i have access to those computers at anytime if they’re on, without settings available to require the user’s permission! it seems quite invasive. because of this i have instructed them to block/remove it until it’s needed again

before this, what would people use to access Windows desktops from Linux? i know about VNC but didn’t find a client for both

technology!!

ohhhh, i can browse channel playlists, this is great!! the only feature i’ve been missing from this awesome app

that guy Schneegans makes the most beautiful useless rice! i’m tempted to switch to gnome now…

they do. i was not clear, sorry

thanks, i got it! i just managed to comment on a video :D

funny thing is that, through lemmy, i can only see my own comments, although there are several additional ones from peertube’s view

EDIT: re-phrasing

i meant to comment or just see the content from there, like i’ve seen mastodon users’ comments here on lemmy and lemming comments on peertube

yes i’ve interacted with mastodon users here through lemmy, but am still figuring out how i get on the other platforms from here

thanks for the clarification!

now i’ll get a mastoson client to follow communities on lemmy, hop on peertube comments from here and hopefully lurk on mastodon from newpipe muAHAHaHahHahah

is this community the Peertube channel? through Newpipe i can see peertube comments (even lemmy accounts!) but on that community i see none. also the lammy client might be an issue…?

i’m really exited about this, now i’ll be able to correct people wrong on the internet like i can’t do on youtube videos!!

yes! i can follow on android with Newpipe but on desktop have to use browser bookmarks

they’re using the platform to denounce the wrongdoings of the owner of said platform. that’s very clever, actually

i’d just like to comment on this comment section

since i’ve joined lemmy some months ago i’ve seen the nuanced discussion i was so relieved and happy to find here degrading. this section ilustrates that well. the nuanced and cautious are still there, but are being briganded against in a way i don’t think they were before

maybe i’m sounding like an “eternal september” elitist here, but i do like open discussions on the internet, with all the ugliness that’s bound to happen. i just really hope with all my heart that, in the midst of it all, the good things don’t go away

check out Tuxedo laptops. they’re made for Linux so you won’t have driver issues. you can use their distro or any other

they’re not cheap, but form what i’ve read/heard the build quality is very good. they’re from germany
