@onlinepersona I think I might start using Signal as well today.
@Outtatime probably they have an upload quota per each week/month. Just wait for a while and see if you still have the issue. Or just archive the full thing.
@LordPassionFruit wouldn’t it be easier to go with something like ./[game]/[platform]/
and then in the platform folder to add all the game specific files for each platform?
@thingsiplay Last year they offered 20 GB free for every referral - both for you and the person you referred - because of their anniversary. And the features just make it such a compelling option as well. Such a great service.
@hedge I am quite a hoarder for cloud services, lol. The most private ones I use are Mega, pCloud and Nextcloud. Alternatively, you can also use Syncthing if you only care about syncing your files over.
@Billy Somehow, Iran wasn’t worried about escalation, hmm…
@Flatworm7591 I heard about libgen and sci-hub from my uni professors. Before that, I never knew anything about them.
@user68k I think this will be the first GTK3 app that will have an actual options menu instead of a tucked away hamburger menu with options. I think it’s gonna be interesting.
@Powderhorn These have been the norm in my country already for quite a while FWIW, haven’t tested if they change these prices often or not however.
@clark Ugh. You could probably get away with multiple cloud storage services then, and mapping their folders to the music player of your choice. Also, use file types that are generally smaller in size for storing music (like opus or ogg). For cloud services, use the ones whose apps support Storage Access Framework so they can appear in the default Android File Manager / File Picker thing (you can also use something like Round Sync to access them all, and it does all the job for you). If you’re willing to pay for cloud storage, then one single provider with 100-200 GB can also be more than enough for your music needs if you own more than just a few songs.
Then you can add the folders in your music player settings.
Edit: Don’t forget to also backup your music somewhere in case something happens with your phone or your cloud provider(s)

Where should I store the music?
I just store it in the music folder of every device I own. I have a 1 TB hard drive on my PC and my phone has 128 GB of internal storage, with an SD card slot.
I haven’t any clue about self-hosting. I’m running GrapheneOS, is it enough to save the songs in Files and play in an app like Auxio? Maybe sync with SyncThing?
Yes. Any music player will generally prompt you to scan for your files upon first opening.
Edit: didn’t notice your first question. Well, I just get them from everywhere, lol. If you have a tracker that you use for anything, be sure that there will be some music there. If you cannot find it, then just refer to the FMHY’s list of various tools to download music from just about anywhere: Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud you name it. I also buy music from Bandcamp as it supports downloading it directly for an unlimited amount of times and in any of the most popular formats, or just go to the band’s concert and buy their album directly. This way you’re also supporting the artists directly with your money (if you care about it).
@gencha No reason at all. It was probably wrongfully flagged by Google’s AI based on some stupid wrongful training data. At least that’s what I think though, because folks at Pushbullet (remember the app?) seem to be having similar problems about “not mentioning that they upload user data to their servers” even though they clearly mention this when the app is opened for the first time.
@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted I don’t think CSD would be a big nuisance on a mobile phone or tablet, pretty much all apps nowadays have it.
@imblue A bit late I think? Wasn’t Qt also available for Android since a while ago? I mean, there are some apps that I know of.
@princessnorah Romanian here. We’re generally not using VPNs because ISPs do not seem to care that much. Even so, there is a popular private tracker (I won’t advertise it here) which has pretty much all you need, especially movies and popular software. If you use that one, you can be 100% sure nothing will happen to you.
Edit: we also have non-permanent IP addresses by default, so if anything, I can just restart my router, and I am assigned a new one.
@Midnitte Trump seems to be the leader that would have literally secured Molotov-Ribbentrop and told France & The UK to stay out or pay for their defense or whatever.
@rosethornRangerTTV I understand that some buses and other form of transport do not come on time, but on the other hand, one myst acknowledge that everything has a schedule and a time. You can’t force a train not to leave the station just because you didn’t show up on time (I mean, in my country many trains are leaving late anyways, but that’s not the point). You’ll just be delaying other people too.
I tend to be a late person as well, but whenever I have the possibility I either:
a. Put stuff in my calendar, with a notification prior to the event, so that I know when to get ready.
b. Run and/or rush. Literally. I know it isn’t a possibility for many, and it might be dangerous for me (I do my best not to hit into other people when I do and I can dodge really well), but if you hurry up you’ll never be late more than a few minutes, maximum 20. Happens to me every time. If you can’t run, try going at a faster pace.
c. If I see there is a high chance I am not getting there in time, I announce my lateness to the person I meet with so that they won’t be too upset.
I know getting on time can be hard sometimes, but it is a thing up to every single individual to sort out. You sometimes do not have the luxury of getting late somewhere and calling them ableist (even if they might be) might not help you out.
@Joseph_Boom I just go to the biggest file, and it is usually the movie
