Recent reports have announced that Crunchyroll, the largest anime streaming service, will be replacing Aegisub with Israeli Software, OOONA, to produce subtitles more efficiently. Anime fans across the world are disappointed with this collaboration due to Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians (via a report by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry).

Crunchyroll is also ignoring the needs of groups who require Closed Captions to understand the scenes better. They are isolating a large chunk of their audience in favor of AI-based subtitling, which defeats the point of a streaming service. Overall, this hasn’t been a great year for Crunchyroll, and this won’t be the end of it.

    Edit: since I wrote this message (15min ago) I setup LMS thanks to podman and shared it via ngrok and my wife can listen to my music on her phone instantly.

    So… yeah it’s that quick and convenient.

    Is it perfect, definitely not, but it’s also very quick to get started and to reconsider.

      Spent another 5min to scp the container and ~/Music on my RPi5, which I keep on 24/7, has a 512Go microSD and tailscale… and I guess that’s it, I have my own music server. I don’t have discovery on though but still, already useful!
