Yeah, as a big music fan I have always been disappointed in Embys music functionality. I followed the discussions around this on there site and I was a bit disappointed by the response. They were getting the same feedback around how bad it is and it should be revamped or even have a dedicated app just for music and they just dismissed it basically saying we’ll it can be something we may do later on but dont hold your breath and that they believe it works fine the way it is and dont agree it will help.

Luckily I really didnt care to use it for music anyway. I already had a Subsonic (now Navidrome) server for that. It would have been nice for a few things, but ultimately it was fine. The cool part is the android app Symfonium is the best music app I have ever used and it connects to all the servers to pull data. I obviously still use navidrome, but I could just pull from emby as well with it.

Dam thats what I thought. Emby has something similar but doesnt force you to use it so I don’t.

Years ago I decided to go with Emby over Plex only because at the time plex didnt support kodi integration and I enjoyed using that at the time for my front-end user experience. Within 6 months they started supporting it and I was upset since I did want to go with plex. Lately I feel like I made the perfect decision. It’s gotta be close to 10 years now and I paid one $100 lifetime fee for Emby and still use it everyday along with some family and friends I gave access to. Also gotta remember I dont believe jellyfin was even an option at that time. I tried it not to long ago and although it was fine, I actually think I liked emby a little more.

As for the remote access, how do they block it? Do they not allow you to setup your own remote connection that does not involve plex? Thats how I do it, I do not use emby connect to make it easier to go through them I just setup my own domain, use ddns, and configure the ports I want exposed and thats it. If plex doesnt allow that then thats already crazy, if they do and even thats now blocked then thats even crazier.

Emby may be simpler, and i heard about plex having a music AI feature that I was actually jealous of, but overall it just works and not paying anything in forever will always be my preferred method over awful monthly subscriptions anyday.

Weird I just saw a YouTube video on this like a week ago. Basically you would need to eat an amount that would never be possible by a lot for anything to possibly happen. The other point is we have more radiation than a banana to begin with and are hit by more radiation in 1 day than probably a thousand would even create. Our bodies are able to remove some radiation as well. There are even some parts of the world were people are exposed to higher than normal amounts of radiation and we found that over time the rate of cancer is less than the global average so I would highly doubt being around bananas would cause any risk for cancer.

Lol dont complain to much. You could be like me were i only have 1 option and although they just now released fiber earlier this year, im not paying the price for it. I’ve been stuck on 200mbps down and 30mbps up for years now and I’m paying as much if not more than people a few towns over that get 1gb. Also my ISP has no plan that allows over that upload speed no matter what plan you pick.

This article is about people not believing the cover is real. You think as soon as you start labeling just AI pics people won’t just assume the ones that aren’t weren’t lying without being verified? And yeah, it is absurd, but if you really believe people won’t think that way, then I guess you have more faith in them than I do.

So do only AI pics come with watermarks or do all things now need to come with a real and not real label. You pick up a book, and it has a label across the cover saying not generated by AI. Will there be a board created for people to certify its authenticity? Will that now cost people extra to have this verified? Yeah, that sounds great. Instead of simplifying things, it sounds like it just gets harder and harder like usual.

No, my problem is that we are at the point where we probably need to put labels on everything to officially certify it’s not AI. Otherwise, everyone will just claim its AI.

Obviously, if the choice was no AI at all, then, of course, that should be the standard, but that’s never going to happen ever again.

This timeline sucks… we really have to answer to people who suspect something may be AI now because it’s too hard to tell sometimes? I kind of wish I was an artist, I would be adding extra fingers to everything just to get a reaction.

As someone who loves music and listens to it every chance I get, I honestly never got into using headphones and walking. It just doesn’t feel right to me. I am also very attentive to my surroundings, and if I feel like I don’t know what’s exactly going on, I really don’t like that feeling. It may also be a generational thing? Im in my 40s, and the headphone market was a bit different 20 years ago when I was younger, and none of that really appealed to me. I never even had an iPod, I owned a zune lol.

Can you lnk me the first one?

I have been self hosting since 2008. Went through around 7 different apps since then, and I am currently using Navidrome, which is a fork of Subsonic with the android phone app Symfonium. For a while there self hosting looked pretty bleak around 2020, but it seems to have found a resurgence which I love because the development has been big again leading to more modern looking players and a lot of great new functionality.

I only used Spotify briefly years ago. I had no idea you could actually block the audio ads they send you? That’s pretty cool if so.

As someone who only used the stock synology app and has always wanted to try something else, what features and things does this do better? I am close to trying it out just to see. Im sure it will solve my 1 big issue where I can’t control the location of photos that default to my application storage, which is pretty small, instead of my actual storage array.

Scrolling by i legit thought this was a video game screenshot.

This pic is super old and probably was posted around Xmas time originally.

It’s sad that none of these people you deal with don’t know what service they use or vendors they deal with? That sounds fantastic for you, scary for everyone else.

MAHA is funny because it actually sounds like the 1 good thing out of all the crap that’s been going on. Then you look into it, and it’s just as bad as the rest… sure you got some stuff that is positive, but then you see the people who he looks to, and they are all extremists who either contradict themselves or dont actually have any real evidence of anything they spout. They also want some ridiculous changes as well. Idk why it’s so hard to do the right thing for anything, but here we are. Its not like we dont have a bunch of other countries to turn to for examples of what to do either!

Now I am confused. Those are not fiber cables. They are regular ethernet ones. No light is in them. If you’re talking about fiber in general, then that would make more sense.

Ok, I figured, but you never know.
