It was for me, I got a notice of a refund just a few hours after the account closer email.
Again I just discovered this and don’t want to come off like it’s a for sure thing.
In terms of payments methods, patreon seems to accept virtual cards, which makes it easy to avoid using the same payment method or tying any part of your identity to the transaction.
I got a “no package found matching input criteria” using this method.
It also appears to only offer version 1.0.15 whereas the newest version is 1.2.10
If I’m not mistaken, 1.0.15 was the last windows / Mac version released before the dev paywalled them.
Thanks to whoever 🙏😁
If you look at the releases they are just translation fixes. There hasn’t been any real development in some time.
Originally I just wanted to try a FOSS media player and found Clementine to be the most reliable when it came to importing music and reading the tags. This was especially true when grabbing old music files off an iPod then importing them.
When I realized clementine is basically dead, wanted to see how strawberry compared.
Side note, I enjoy the outdated aesthetic. 😋
I would probably use MediaMonkey if I was going to go the non FOSS route.
I don’t think that’s true, correct me if I am wrong though. There are still other requirements you have to follow for the GPL3 license if you wanted to distribute it legally.
I’m a bit surprised that this request is creating so much friction. This to me, is just a run of the mill “help me find a free download of this software” request that shows up all the time here.
I’m not comfortable trying to build this myself. I am happy to just use the inactive Clementine media player this is forked off of if people are really so offended by my request.
I totally understand why the dev wants to be paid, I’m just not going to be the one to do it.
To each their own.
I think its reasonable that a one man dev team wants a bit of money for their time. They gave good reasons as to why and as others have said you could compile it yourself. I just don’t know how and am a bit intimidated by the tutorial.
To me, personally, paying for this type of program when my use case is very casual, isn’t worth it to me.
I’d say the proven good ones are Proton, Mullvad, and IVPN.
Windscribe has really improved a lot and is worth considering. Still probably worth waiting for Freshscribe infrastructure before considering over the 3 I mentioned above.
Nym and Obscura are up and comers worth looking at. Nym is a decentralized VPN and Obscura has partnered with Mullvad to offer a true double hop (ie one in where both hops are not owned by the same entity).
I’ll give this a go and report back! Appreciate the help.
EDIT: still get GPU errors when the script tries to run the containers.
Thanks!
I’ve been running into issues currently with nvidia drivers causing an error, which in turn causes the script to fail when trying to create the containers.
Sounds pretty similar to windows. Now I just have to learn how to use fedora and get everything installed correctly 😂
Thanks so much, will let you know once I’m able to get through it (hopefully this week).
The only thing I don’t see here that I was thinking of trying is to integrate in Real debrid via the rdt client. Which seems like it should work basically the same way as it does for Plex on Windows. Any thoughts?
Excited to check this out. I was literally just searching around for something similar as I want to transition from a Plex media server on Windows to a Jellyfin one on Fedora
Interesting. Could be I’m attributing the wrong factor to what’s causing the ban.
