While that’s fairly typical and good practice in dev circles, we’re talking about a company that’s single handedly elevated an entire OS to prevent a big company taking too much power. I think the key here is they don’t really compete with Google.

I personally use piCorePlayer on a raspberry pi which is basically burn an SD card which gives you a squeezebox (basically a client) there’s a couple more steps to get lms running on top of that but the instructions are pretty good: https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/install_lms/

Official docker image seems to be here https://hub.docker.com/r/lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver

You’ll want to install the “material skin” too if you do get it running, it’s a pretty modern front end:

Official forum is packed with info too:

Yeah! The squeezebox software is still out there too, it’s a sudo apt-get get away in something like it Ubuntu and just works (though does commandeer the audio on any pc you do that on by default)

Logitech Media Server (LMS)/slimserver may tick a lot of your Roon requirements.

Not to mention how long it takes a big org to migrate, even between versions of rhel. I’ve seen 6 -> 7 migrations happen inside the last month.

You can just go get Unity or UE right now. With UE you can make a $1million before you need to pay a royalty and the tooling is substantially better than any of the tools id released back in the day. (And fwiw I think it’s a crying shame id tech engines are no longer open sourced too!)

Lemmy?

Is it surprising? There are specialists pushing nonsense to dupe people constantly, fake experts, real news branded as fake news. No one reasonably has the time to research every bit of news they see. The world is a weird place rn.

Yeah, this is my main issue too. Some kind of account container that could propagate round the fediverse rather than a centralised lookup would be better and more in keeping with the ethos imo.

Potentially instances could opt to load balance with each other in that case when usage rises.
