being able to sort artists arbitrarily using metadata tags is like a big reason why i'm considering giving up all the other capabilities #rockbox has
over 50% of my phone's downloads folder contents are accidental, which i don't bother clearing out because phones have made file systems a burden to browse and explore, because why would you now that everything is clouds and apps

i promise i keep thinking about fixing and upgrading computer fairies. i just hate the prospect of actually doing it and never get to it. but i do think about it and it hangs over my head like a dark cloud
my wife's windowsill garden is pretty and she posts about it on a forum not controlled by big corporations or reliant on cloudflare infrastructure and you should look at it https://forums.transbian.love/?page=post&id=2668

TLDR: In ten days last month, the Wikimedia Foundation fired the longtime lead developer of MediaWiki and disbanded the team whose entire job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers. Wikipedia’s editors are now threatening to strike in solidarity. The Foundation is sitting on $296 million in reserves and a freshly profitable AI revenue stream.
i am looking for a database of video games, or a way to scrape to build one
initially, i need:
- title
- genre
- platform (aiming for DS for starters)
- release date
- region
- boxart is a nice-to-have i can figure out how to get separately
i have looked at: gametdb, thegamesdb, launchbox, rawg. for different reasons (the biggest one being erroneous data) they don't work for me. the most accurate data come from sources i can't easily scrape (like mobygames)
suggestions and boosts welcome

i want the microsoft home era of multimedia back
seems like i've been stuck on seafile 9 since who knows when and now they're up to version 14 and docker is a requirement. looks like upgrading / migrating will be a pain and not worth it.
nextcloud looks to do everything i want (i remember only giving up on it in favour of seafile becaue of how slow it ran on my 4th gen i5 server a decade ago) but i'm not keen on how bloated and ai-happy it looks today.
what other self-hosted file/docs cloud are people using today?

given the amount of troubles rockbox has given me ever since installing it in my ipod4g, i can only assume everybody who's ever been excited about it didn't use their ipods for more than the first 5 minutes after doing it because of the cool factor before stuffing it back in a drawer
