My Polish buddy wants to emigrate to US. He wants to know if I know about visa rules, current climate for entering the US, etc.
He says he started thinking about "leaving this war-centered part of the world and taste something new..."
I got to know him five years ago through SoundCloud.

Do you know others on Mastodon into jungle / drum and bass / pirate radio?
Is that music maker nasoshnik on Mastodon also?
@freeschool
No he isn't, and I don't know any on the Fediverse, but I've told a couple of them about it.
You can follow my bots that repost the songs I reposted on Sound Cloud.

I listen to mostly independent IDM and acid, but sometimes some DnB/jungle slips into my feed.

Is there way to just dump files / upload and have it magically come up as something like soundcloud or just HTML front end
Hmm I just remembered asking myself this a long time ago so it maybe I'm being stupid but I'd like to see what else there is anyway - I have a bunch of stuff I'd like to play but don't even want a platform really or maybe I want to see what's out there without.
Does help to jump to the beginning / middle / end of a sound but I'm guessing these front ends need massive processing power or it just comes up and where you click it will download from there instead of load the whole file?
@freeschool
If the link you post has an embeded widget (like most SoundCloud songs or YouTube videos), then your Mastodon post will show their embedded UI, and you can click "play" on it in the post.
Otherwise, if you just upload an audio file with your post, Mastodon provides a basic UI to play it. Like this:

Guess I should mention I'm anti-youtube embedding and actually impressed too by it especially soundcloud's ability to see high low waves (is that processed on every track or on-the-fly?)
So yeah something less-google would be good (not sure about soundcloud through technically feels great native and embedded/remote)
@freeschool
I totally understand. I only watch YouTube videos through Invidous instances.
They embed quite well on Mastodon, and your data isn't sent to YouTube since it's just an alternate FE.

True DON'T WORRY NO BIGGIE
even though I am moving from those things and even replacements (extreme I know but maybe once is my limit a day and twice if super-relavant !)
It's like talking to more home-grown people, has to be now!!
Archive.org seems good also which shows waveform but waveform isn't clickable like Soundcloud

Hosting my own MP3s with own frontend... (HTML actually can shows player with just a link but I think this could be a bit better or better auto-managed, I'll dig my hard disk I'm sure someone scripted something back in the day :)
Cheers, oh yeah funkwhale... but can't remember it-

ok just sending this a million windows open so before I lose it here it is!
@freeschool
oh my God I posted that *exact* Yoshi's Story OST last week from Archive.org!
@Economic_Hitman @PawelK @CSB
I think so ! Isn't my thing but was around the same time as looking at interface so was good excuse to check it out! Getting lost in all the links! Have to remember to bookmark things otherwise seems to disappear in history lol...
