I'm partial towards bato.to. It used to be the aggregator before MangaDex came around, it even had ads and revenue share with the scanlators who uploaded there. Alas it eventually got a massive DMCA just like the MangaDex one, and combined with constant DDOSes and overall maintainer burnout, it died. It recently came back under different ownership and seems to be a very complete aggregator, which leans even harder on the piracy aspect, as it hosts official translations.

Got it, thanks.

I read that, but my question still stands.

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Not sure I entirely understand this, would this function as a replacement for the *arr stack?

I'm allergic to subscriptions, but I might just consider it.

What? The two things have nothing to do with each other. A GNU operating system doesn't need to be open source or have its source code available anywhere. A GNU operating system just means it uses GNU tools.

You could write a new kernel from scratch, never distribute a single character of the source code, make an operating system with your new kernel along with GNU tools, and even sell your operating system, which the GPL allows for. The GNU tools would still be open source, sure, but your operating system would be neither open source, nor have its source code completely available.

Which means it isn't truly open source, just that the source code is available.

Don't get me wrong, I love that the source for TF2 is available, but it's not open source.

I've heard the term source available be used, though not sure how popular it is.

You can follow whatever you think is best. I'll stick to and evangilise what I view to be the correct definition of open source.

Ubuntu is not FSF approved, and guess what, it's still a GNU operating system

What makes Ubuntu a GNU operating system isn't the fact that it's FSF approved, it's the fact that it uses GNU tools.

Huh, I would like to see that.

No, those would not be open source.

ContraPoints is fantastic, but I have a hard time watching the content if I'm not in the headspace for it.

I've had this idea for a while now, and always wondered if a program like this existed, but never found anything like it.

The idea is a selfhosted service/script/daemon that connects to music streaming platforms APIs and automatically downloads your play history. You'd keep listening to your music library on the streaming service until you think you've built a big enough of an offline library and then just drop the streaming service.

This would be a great way to build a music library for people who want to drop streaming services but don't have a music library. I might just put something together myself.
