Ce să vă zic, mă, bine ați venit? bine ați venit, rău ați nimerit. La locu’ ăsta îi zice șerpărie, de la șerpii care umblă pe-aicea. Dracu’ știe cum au ajuns…
@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).
@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.
@graphito f* u spidey!
My trust in police is generally low because they fail to address the actual crime sometimes, but it’s not that low to depend on people snitching my every move when I’m out and about.
I mean, if Google and other large data collectors would disappear overnight, the advertisers could simply ask these people anything about me, and get a reliable amount of data (half /s).
@possiblylinux127 Some eldery people like to stay and watch the world go by, then gossip around about what happens in every single detail. If you live there, they also like to ask questions about every thing they notice, to the point it just gets super annoying (e.g. Who is that person you brought here last night? Where do they live? Where are they working? Etc.).
Also see the other comments for examples.
Well, one would imagine that was probably the way US athletes were preparing for the Olympics.
@ModernRisk Not really Mastodon, but I’m on Friendica and I receive posts and comments from db0 just fine.
You can also follow communities from here just like you’d follow a normal person (e.g. @communityusernamebellowthetitle@instance.domain. For this it would be piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com)
@Protoman64 Kbin has a separate interface for microblogging and groups, that’s why it’s not that obvious. For Lemmy, well, there’s no type of blogging to begin with.
Friendica really shines in this regard, as it has the ability to interact with both groups and regular people in the same feed, while the posts are also clearly marked as such. 😁
No worries! Also from Friendica

@mannycalavera If they pull a fatwa on me, I’mma tell those mfs: Suck ma fatwaide c*ck, bitches!
The million dollar riddle for me would be this one:
If I stick my finger in someone’s ass, who will have a finger in the ass? Me or that person?
@gamedeviancy I decided to change the way how I save my notes. More specifically: Markdown
I got accustomed to it on spezzit FWIW, even without knowing about it in the first place, but then it felt so natural. I even use it here on Friendica, despite it being mostly relied on BBCode.
Now, how do I enjoy it? There are certain apps that save your notes as Markdown files in any folder of your choosing. You can then sync that folder through a cloud storage provider or through Syncthing so you can have your notes available on any device. And that’s it. If I do not like an app (even on one device) I switch to another. My notes stay with me an I can read them even in a normal text editor.
I did not encrypt my notes, but since these are just regular files, I assume you can use something like VeraCrypt to add the folder containing the notes in there and move them that way.
@Flatworm7591 I heard about libgen and sci-hub from my uni professors. Before that, I never knew anything about them.
