Landru?

DO NOT OBEY LANDRU.

Why not both?

I suggested Plex because it syncs local copies on a per device setting so you can stream and sync pretty seamlessly. I haven't copied a file around except for making backups for nearly a decade now. It does audiobooks with saved progress inside the files too.

Selfhosting is not piracy because you're only streaming the albums you already bought and paid for. If you're not down for buying CD's or other physical media, or maybe you no longer have a disc drive, then you should be buying the lossless audio direct from the artists or via a service like Bandcamp. I just bought a few vinyls from Bandcamp and I had them to listen as to on all my devices (as lossless CD quality FLAC files) inside of a few minutes after purchase. Plex paired with plexamp on devices for ease of use. Replace with Jellyfish in a pinch. MPD might work, but you'd need to be better at networking than I am, also you'd need a steady internet connection at both ends.

Self-hosting is not piracy, it's fair use. Piracy is when a fool that only bought a license to listen instead of buying the actual media decides they want to listen on another device.

You don't get to make that determination during the stop, that's for the court to decide after the fact.

Some of those "morals" need to decay.

The et cetera: Shouldn't be allowed to work overtime either. And they should get taxed more if they work a second job, so only 40 hours per week. Attach ridiculous fees to any attempt at saving money in a bank, can't have their money earning interest for them. They should also be in a high cost of living part of hell with no public transportation. And they should be forced to buy their own safety equipment. They should have to pay for healthcare out of pocket, no good health insurance. And they should be penalized for aging the same way too, with new billionaires coming in cheaper and forcing them out of their position and making their experience a liability in finding new work. Let's throw in some inflation to keeps things spicy. An HOA that is constantly fighting them and won't let them grow food. How about random detentions and beatings for being the wrong shade in the wrong part of hell town, the part they work in. And they should never be allowed to forget for one moment what they had in life and how they squandered it on petty selfish things.

It's also an argument for not having your own domain for emails, because you may one day loose that domain too, and someone could poach the domain to impersonate you.

It doesn't work. Too much heat on the outside, but not enough time for that heat to get to the inside of an even slightly thick cut, especially if it's frozen. Phase changes take a lot more energy to cross than simply heating through the same temperature change. That's also why those fake ice cube things that aren't water (stone, metal, etc.) really suck at actually chilling a drink as well as plain old ice.

Perfect is the enemy of good.
