  • Can some tell me how Deezer stacks up? I switched from Spotify to Deezer a little while ago, not for any real reason, other than Spotify kept increasing their prices and I don’t really listen to audio books or podcasts even. Plus Deezer streams hifi flacs as standard so it sounds way better. I’ve got no idea how ethical they are tho, but would be interested to learn.

    Edit: so I did my own research and looks like Deezer pays sightly more per stream than Spotify, but marginally…

    Never mind, I’m beginning to build my local music library and self host it. I buy lots of merch and I go to gigs regularly. Once my library is substantial enough I’ll quit the streaming apps

    Thanks for this. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole today looking into proxmix, and started thinking that a Dell optiplex won’t cut it after reading how using proxmox with zfs uses more resources, plus I kept seeing people recommend ECC ram which is more expensive and is harder to come by.

    I’m look at ucore, but most install instructions for things are targeted at debian systems using apt. I guess that’s not a major hurdle though.

    Proxmox still peaks my interest, and maybe one-day when I can afford a decent setup I’ll get into it some more.
