  • I’ve been running Navidrome + Symfonium for over 3 years and it replaced Spotify. The only thing they have over my setup is a near infinite number of playlists. But I do everything myself now, I’ve reconnected with my music.

    My main issue with Spotify was no lossless audio at the time, and many tracks weren’t on there, if they were they had a habit of disappearing. Now I can listen to any track, remix, bootleg, and even the 1700+ tracks my friend digitised from his vinyl collection until perpetuity.

    Symfonium, btw, is truly the best music streaming app, the customizability is beyond anything I’ve seen













  • 5GB is plenty for emails, won’t be an issue for 99% of people.

    THE problem with google’s storage is that they actively mislead consumers:

    1. They bother customers during setup and after with: “Do you want to backup your device?” To which a considerable amount of people react to as “Yeah ofcourse I want that!”
    2. Google does not show any indication where this backup goes or about the eventual payment so people just forget about it.
    3. After some time their gmail and photos app will start to complain: “YOUR STORAGE IS FULL” - with constant notifications. And their Gmail stops working so they can’t receive emails anymore.
    4. These regular people confuse ‘storage’ with internal storage so they start looking for ways to expand their internal storage, which obviously doesn’t do anything.
    5. Eventually they give up and either pay google the ransom or make a new email.

    This is the real dark pattern behind their “free cloud”
