    I think a few folks haven’t read the article or know who Jeff Geerling is. The title of this article is confusing.

    Jeff posted a video on YT about how to self-host your own media in 2024. He recently got a violation from YT that YT considers his video to be harmful and dangerous. He appealed, got denied, but then the update is that YT removed the violation.

    Yeah I remember once when my friends Synology started acting harmful when he run jellyfin on it. it started off gasing mustard gas. It poisoned the well and made his son addicted to zyns. All of the cars in his neighborhood needed new batteries. The country’s GTP dropped a lot that month and the ozone layer is gone. Thank God YouTube stopped platforming such harmful content. Too bad so luch damage has already been done.

      Yes cause they can’t sell you a subscription for your mp3 player.

      Fucking rent seeking behaviour from corporate parasites.

      MP3 players aren’t bad, they’re just mostly obsolete when smartphones can do the same thing and we mostly already have one.

      I like to keep several GB of music on my phone from my MP3 library, and I have no streaming music accounts. I pay once for my music at most.

          I remember when the iPhone came out, it was a little more than an iPod that made calls. The rest is history.

            I think you might be misremembering; the original iPhone had YouTube, maps (though it lacked a GPS for whatever reason), a camera, Safari, and even a primitive HTML based App Store that paved the way for modern PWAs. Games like Bejeweled were available months before iOS 2.0 came with the App Store.

            The Moto ROKR was an iPod that made calls.

              You’re right. It was released almost at the same time as the 1st gen iPod touch, and that iPod ran the same OS as the iPhone (then named iPhone OS). I thought the iPod touch came before, it didn’t. The iPod classic was significantly different from the iPhone.
