  • Docker is a container manager, but that doesn't say anything if you don't know what containers are.

    Containers are basically isolated apps. For example, take something like Nextcloud. Nextcloud can run in a Docker container, which means that it runs in an isolated environment completely separated from the user's system. If Nextcloud breaks, the user's server won't be affected at all, because it's running isolated.

    Why is this useful? Well, it's useful because dependencies and such automatically update. Nextcloud for example, is dependent on PHP and if you install Nextcloud directly on your server, you'll need to ensure that PHP 8 has been installed and set up properly. If PHP (or the required PHP extensions) aren't properly installed, Nextcloud won't work. Or, maybe if there's a Nextcloud update that requires a new version of PHP (PHP 9 or 10 in the future), you'll have to manually update PHP to the newer version.

    All that dependency management is completely gone with containers. The container itself automatically installs and sets up a proper environment for the app that's running. So in the case of Nextcloud, the PHP binaries, extensions, and all the other stuff is all automatically included without the developer having to do anything at all. Just run one command and your entire Nextcloud instance is automatically updated.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Exactly. That's the entire point lol

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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hear hear!!

  • I'm using Calibre-Web

  • Why does this need 3 mariadb containers?

  • My IT teacher from high school put a major emphasis on online privacy.

    He thinks the internet is a major threat to individual freedom and while it brings benefits, the negative effects are too big for him.

    While I don't agree with the last statement, I do think privacy is very much under attack nowadays and while I am not very concerned what other people and corporations know about me, I still care about privacy simply because I have the right to do so and because if I don't pay attention, a dozen different trackers will know what I have done without me granting permission.

    Corporations basically take advantage of people and give nothing in return and that is bad imo.

  • 18M.

    I started replacing big tech stuff last year, and I have bought a Murena Fairphone 4 with degoogled /e/OS.

    I guess my primary reason is just my natural interest in tinkering with digital stuff and trying out new technologies. Besides that, I don't like Snapchat, Facebook or Twitter, and I'm trying to get rid of Reddit as well.
