Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update (fandomwire.com)

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.

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!

Another update on that front, I added on my RPi5 :

yt-dlp which I use with its -x audio only option on RSS feeds from DJs
tested then added that to nightly crontab to get updates
configured LMS for hourly database scan
tone in order to update tags on files and try to organize my ~/Music directory

So it's still nowhere near as good as the music streaming service I used so far BUT it's getting there!
