You have to keep on the computer that is running jellyfin/plex server. Then as long as the server is running and everything is set up, you can access all of your own songs and playlists from the android app.
There are a ton of tutorials out there for setting up jellyfin or plex.
Download mp3 or flac from artists you like. Install jellyfin or plex on an old PC, laptop, or raspberry pi and store the music there. Install finamp or plexamp on your phone. And you got your own personal spotify that you can access from anywhere
I really like this fork of newpipe. It has sponsorblock and YouTube dislike built in
Yes, I just made the switch to a closer instance yesterday. So much faster. I was on lemmy.world for the past few weeks but then I realized the server is hosted in Europe and I was getting 144ms ping from US east coast. This new instance I’m on, I’m getting 22ms ping.
You can test latency yourself from cmd by typing “ping lemmy.world” for example
Walk into any Goodwill. You will no doubt find their Christmas aisle fully stocked all year round.
Spirit Halloween probably makes most of its money on the expensive Halloween costumes that parents buy for each kid every year. Christmas doesn’t have any yearly cost item unless you get a real tree and those are already sold at temporary specialty shops
