  • Not sure if this fits your need, but if you just want to own the files, maybe try playing locally?

    I don’t have an unlimited data plan, so I use “Gelli” which can download from Jellyfin and play them offline. However, it’s buggy and haven’t been updated in a while, so I’m planning on ditching that, and switch to locally storing the music files.

    I found an Android music player named “Symphony”. It reads directories as album, as well as metadata. Importantly, it also saves the queue for me. I have a self-hosted Nextcloud so I can sync music to my phone. Symphony would read them from the directory.

    laughs in Hong Kong students

    So there’s this exam called the DSE exam that is a VERY BIG deal as it determines if you can get into university and thus your future career.

    There was a subject called Liberal Studies, and you basically an entire essay for each question. Every high school LS teacher will teach you the templates of different types of questions so you can score points.

    At one point, the HKEAA (the group that organises the exam) asked the teachers to not teach the templates, but it’s almost impossible to score anything if you don’t follow the template.

    So no one listened, and it was still how it was taught until the subject got cancelled.
