  • Ad others have said, nextcloud won’t rescan or reindex on a reboot. no idea why sync thing does, and surely there must be some way to disable that, too. I’m still hesitant to recommend NC as it’s somewhat fragile, needs way more babying than I’m willing to keep up with and just does too many things, none of them anywhere close to “well”. File sync on real computers works solidly if you have a reliable connection (don’t get me started on Android).

    Have you considered using a real media-hoster, like Jellyfin (or like a dozen others)? Jellyfin works fine for music (the are other music-only solutions though). There are plenty of clients that can stream, and have offline support (download a subset/albums/playlists) for things like laptops, phones, … The server can usually transcode audio formats that a client can’t play, in real-time, if needed.

    Edit: I realize I wasn’t clear as to what this means in practice. You essentially get a self-hosted Spotify. Your library, run from your server, optionally you can connect to it from anywhere.





  • It might be, but you’ve managed to focus on the single thing in my comment that was just a side note, and tongue-in-cheek as well. You literally ignored my whole point.

    Let’s be explicit: The point is you can’t make the company go into a direction the leadership doesn’t want. “Protests” might have a short term effect, at best. that huge protest on Reddit when they changed API terms and more? Barely anyone actually left the platform. Not regular users, but mods did, making the platform technically worse, but the users clearly don’t notice. Or don’t care enough to leave.

    You can’t make a company that size do anything, not as an individual, not as a group. Maybe as a share holder, obviously. I hope you got some millions to spare.

    You said “we all should care”. What for? What does that do? “Caring” is the activists version of “thoughts and prayers”. It’s saying something, or thinking about something, but has no effect in the real world.
