Just whats been around tbh. Some old speakers with a cheap bluetooth amplifier board f.e. One of my flatmates added his PC speakers with subwoofer and we got a sourround system running along side it. Didn’t spend anything just connected whats been already around.

I think its really great. Im using the server component together with spotifyd and then have the clients running on a few different devices. The sync is really good and you can adjust the delay of each device in the web interface. I mostly needed that because of a bluetooth speaker and a sound receiver which delays always by 250ms no matter the input. But now i have music blasting from every room and you can ealk from room to room and dont hear any delay. You can even have different soundsystems in the same room and it is not even noticable that there are different devices playing. I totally recommend it for a music multiroom setup. On my main pc i’ve even added it as an audio output device with pipewire :)

Have you tried snapcast. I’ve been quite successful with it.

Well that’s exactly what peertube does to distribute the load of serving the videos

Wow how haven’t i heard of hubzilla before? Wow autocorrect doesn’t recognize it either😄 And thank you for the excellent write up.

While it doesnt yet support Lemmy you might be interested in fedilab. Its goal is to combine all fediverse services into one app.

Thats awesome 👍

This is a reasonable response if you look at this situation in a vacuum. But sadly the open source community got burned a bunch of times already by big private corps. Of course they dont destroy all open source. If it helps them they actually help develop it and only try to overtake it in the democratic sense to gain the most voting and controlling power. But Facebook is absolutely not in a benefit of the doubt situation. They need to show a hell of a lot of good faith and need to be a tiny enough fraction of the userbase in the fediverse to be trusted in my opinion.

Yes. Only your server needs to allow it. But lemmy.world f.e. does
