Cool!

Is there any good content on soulseek? The last time i downloaded music from that era, it was all 96kbps realplayer audio files totally mislabelled with the wrong artist

JudahBenHur@lemm.ee on 23 Dec 02:51 next collapse

you’re funny. go have a look.

noodles@sh.itjust.works on 23 Dec 02:58 next collapse

Soulseek has everything literally. most common stuff are actually flac files

awesome! i’ll check this out!

sorry for the n00b question, but why do i need to self host a persistent daemon and then connect to it using a webUI? can’t i just use a soulseek client on my local machine? i’m not really familiar with the architecture of soulseek.

You can just use a soulseek client.

However I have a build of this daemon running on a Qnap storage device, which is super handy just for ad-hoc music searches, and people can also peruse my music library 24/7.

Soulseek has had my back so many times when I need to find a really obscure track that can’t be found anywhere else.

bobs_monkey@lemm.ee on 23 Dec 06:44 collapse

Sounds like a modern day WinMX

9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works on 23 Dec 14:22 collapse

Geez, that still exists too??? Is sharebear still around? Limewire? Kazaa???

bobs_monkey@lemm.ee on 25 Dec 07:49 collapse

I just looked and it actually is! Kazaa died in the late aughts I believe, and I’m not sure about Limewire or bearshare. Last I heard there was a workaround for Limewire, but it’s completely riddled with viruses and malware.

Looks like the source is available to me if you click the GitHub link?

ewigkaiwelo@lemmy.world on 23 Dec 07:20 collapse

They are referring to the original software and protocol of Soulseek not the slskd one in the link, no?

TheFrenchGhosty@lemmy.pussthecat.org on 23 Dec 11:22 next collapse

And most linux distro and software in general are made by American

chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world on 23 Dec 11:41 next collapse

Doesn’t matter who makes the software, as long as it’s open sourced and audited.

TheFrenchGhosty@lemmy.pussthecat.org on 29 Dec 04:46 collapse

Go ahead and audit ALL of the (non reproducible) binaries compiled by your distro

filister@lemmy.world on 23 Dec 19:20 collapse

distrowatch.com/dwres-mobile.php?resource=origin

And you are very wrong.

TheFrenchGhosty@lemmy.pussthecat.org on 29 Dec 04:46 collapse

Most distro are based on Ubuntu

filister@lemmy.world on 29 Dec 07:21 collapse

And Ubuntu is based on Debian. What’s your point?

GhiLA@sh.itjust.works on 23 Dec 14:36 next collapse

ok

Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works on 25 Dec 05:52 collapse

Of course you wouldn’t. If it was air gapped then soulseek would be useless. It needs internet to function.

xavier666@lemm.ee on 23 Dec 07:43 next collapse

Is this Limewire v2?

foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml on 25 Dec 16:43 collapse

Soulseek is a great network but this shit is proprietary

const_void@lemmy.ml on 25 Dec 20:33 collapse

What is?

foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml on 25 Dec 21:10 collapse

Don’t want to bother you but it’s directly related to your post, SoulSeek is the network that is used by slskd. It’s a peer to peer network mainly for music the problem is that the network is proprietary
