I usually keep my phone until it has degraded / become so incredibly slow, that I can’t use it properly anymore.

I’d first recommend that you think about what you need.

What do you need? Do you want a safe space to back up your photos & videos from your phone? Or maybe a way to stream your movies, series and/or music in a cheap way?

Once you figure out what you want to host, you can look into which program can fulfill your needs. Check out the awesome-selfhosted list for a HUGE amount of services you could host.

You could try making a symlink, so that there is a ‘file’ in the Nextcloud directory which points to the Immich gallery, although I’m not sure how good it truly works.

My parents grew up before TV and I asked my Mum what they did instead. She said they were mostly just bored.

Reminds me of a tweet I saw. It went kinda like this: “I asked my sister what our parents did before there was internet. She didn’t know either, so we asked our 18 other siblings”.

That man is a genuine threat to the European Union, Europe as a continent and the Western world as we know it.

As an European, I used to think of an ‘European army’ as a stupid idea, but now I think it has become a necessity to ensure the security of Europe. We can no longer rely on the US to be a reliable ally. Whether it’s about supplying arms, maintaining military hardware or coordinating military exercises, they should no longer be trusted. Why? Because this guy is crazy enough to provide Putin with all the highly sensitive data on European defenses. He’ll probably tell Putin where all the (secret) military bases are located, where the anti-air defenses are placed, and how the defenses work. He’s a traitor to the NATO alliance and a threat to the security of Europe.

That man is crazy enough to declare a goddamn fucking war on the EU if daddy Putin demands it from him. He’d bomb us if that’s what Putin wants.

We need to prepare for a two-front war against Russia and the US.

Why are you unable to participate in the world? What withholds you from gaining happiness? If it’s just your job, then I’d suggest finding another job, but that seems like an obvious answer, so I assume you’ve already looked into that.

Personally, the main thing that makes me stay alive is the hope that it might get better in the future. I tell myself that as long as I believe in myself, there’s always a chance for a better future. Always a chance that whatever bullshit I’m in, it’ll be over eventually. Additionally, I keep suicide close with me. For all problems, I think to myself that there’s always one solution, which is suicide. This thought kind of comforts me, because regardless of how bad things become, I always have an easy way out.

For some general tips, I’d suggest you start exercising. Additionally, make sure you stay hydrated, drink enough and eat enough. Basically, just make sure you’ve got a healthy body, because a healthy mind cannot exist in an unhealthy body. Or at least, it’s very difficult to have a healthy mind in an unhealthy body.

Next, I suggest you start thinking ‘What’s the main problem in my life right now? If I were a millionaire, how would I use my wealth to get out of my problems?’. If you know what exactly is causing your unhappiness, then you can try and fix it. And if your job is a problem, then be more specific. What exactly about your job makes you unhappy?

Niederländer hier. Mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht and darum type ich mein Erklärung in Englisch. (Hopefully I didn’t make too many grammar errors lol)

Anyway, Timmermans is kind of painted as a boogyman among right wingers. They think he’ll take “all our money and give it to the immigrants” and similar rhetoric is echoeing through the Dutch media.

The current leader of the VVD (Yesilgoz) doesn’t want to anger her base, so she has said she won’t work with Timermans.

The PVV (with Wilders as leader) will never, ever work with Timmermans. The PVV and GroenLinks/PvDa are too different and they’re basically the complete opposite of each other.

And because neither VVD nor PVV want to work with Timmermans, a coalition isn’t possible. Back in November, after I returned from the voting booth and saw the results, I already thought to myself that we’ll have elections again pretty quick. And I was right lol. The NSC (under leadership of Omtzigt) is conservative, yet they simultaneously worship the Dutch constitution and the plans of Wilders definitely violate the constitution. And without NSC, a coalition isn’t possible, so we’ll probably have new elections within a couple of months again.

I wanted to study computer science, but I needed to do a calculus-like course in order to qualify. Unfortunately, I didn’t have this course during high school, so now I’m doing something called “Adult education”, which allows me to catch up with this missed course. If everything goes well (and it seems like it!), I’ll finish the course in May 2024 and enroll in September, after summer break!

Besides that, I’m also a bit bored lol. I was working on this programming project of mine, but I’ve almost finished it. Unit tests are the only things left and I don’t like writing those, so I’m procrastinating.

Something that (sort of) makes me fulfilled, is going to the gym. I’ll be honest, I don’t really like the workout itself, but after a couple of months, I have seen actual muscle growth in my shoulders, back, and (upper) arms and it feels like I’m actually making progress. This has only encouraged me and now I’m lifting 18kg for the dumbbell press :D

What about you, OP? What was that primary hobby you lost? Why did you like it? Have you found a (temporary) alternative already?

If you would like to keep track of the movies you watch and give them a rating from 1 - 10, I’ll suggest Movary. I’m a contributor of the project and the goal is to eventually add support for TV Shows as well.

Does this also apply to linuxserver/nextcloud image? Because that’s what I’m using.

Harry Potter. I’d be a normal muggle, blissfully ignorant of all the drama going on :)

Exactly. That’s the entire point lol

Just looked through it and I’m considering to switch!

I was wondering though, is there support for debugging sessions like VSCodium has? And what about remote development, SSH, docker integration and WSL2?

Also, can Pulsar run, inspect and debug (unit) tests?

Uhh, I’m not sure if this fetishization of trans women is appreciated by trans women, but idk, because I’m not one of them. Just a heads up that not everyone may like this content.

You can use this but it doesn’t really download directly from Spotify. Instead, it takes the song name from Spotify, searches it on YouTube, downloads it from YouTube and then adds metadata from Spotify on the downloaded file.

Shameless self-plug, but I made a Python program that basically does the exact same thing, except it has a web ui. It’s called MetaTube and it also supports other metadata providers, such as Musicbrainz and Deezer.

I didn’t copy any project.

Although, I learnt Flask (the framework I use for this app) while developing MetaTube, and the project structure is heavily inspired by the excellent Flask guide by Miguel Grinberg. Check him out if you’re interested in learning Flask.

Ah well, that is a funny coincidence then. I guess neither Christoph Fink nor I were very creative with coming up with a name for our respective apps.

I’ve personally never heard of his project, but I can say that I haven’t published my package at the PyPi register. Although, I do have published it to the Docker Hub.

Maybe metatube-ui for my package and metatube-cli for his? Considering his package mainly runs from the CLI and mine is a web UI.
