    For Krawczeniuk, the move away from Spotify after eight years was partly inspired by the realisation that by using open source software, a home server and a VPN on his phone, he could build something similar himself.

    I did this as well. Very happy with it. Using Nextcloud Music and Subsonic.

    He sees moving away from Big Streaming as connected to a broader movement towards small-scale tech projects and open-source services that are not resource- or energy-intensive.

    Not sure if it is less resource intensive though, if everyone has their own storage?
