Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die? - Lemmy.World
This question is mainly for those that have family/friends depending on their
self-hosted services/data. Does anyone have a plan for the worst case scenario
in terms of data access/passwords/making sure your services are kept running if
people depend on them? I know I sure don’t, it’s just a strange curiosity my
brain thought up and I wondered if anyone else had considered this?
Advice on moving my Spotify library to Navidrome

Advice on moving my Spotify library to Navidrome - Lemmy.World
I ditched most streaming services well over a year ago now, but Spotify has
clung on because I have a playlist of around 2000 songs. I’ve set up Navidrome
but now need to transfer all my music in the highest quality possible as
efficiently as possible. I tried lidarr some time ago, but it seemed to be based
more around artists than individual songs and my indexer failed to find most of
my library. I’ve seen a couple of apps that will look at a playlist and then try
to yt-dlp the song from YouTube but I’m worried about having a lower quality or
different version. I’ve wondered if automating an “analog hole” type approach
where I just pipe the audio of each song to a file and leave it playing
overnight for a couple of weeks might actually be the best approach but that
does seem a bit insane at this scale.
Less than 3 years as a developer and already been laid off twice. Does it ever get better?

Less than 3 years as a developer and already been laid off twice. Does it ever get better? - Lemmy.World
I’m a 25 yo British guy. I landed my first job as a dev in 2022 for a
consultancy with a 1 year international placement, it was good but a few months
after returning, the whole cohort was laid off due to corporate politics between
the offices in the two countries. After 7 months of searching, I got my second
job working for a small pensions fintech startup, it was fine but I didn’t find
it all that fulfilling. After 9 months of working there, the CEO pulled me into
a meeting and said they’d made a mistake hiring me and they needed a more senior
developer who could help steer the company from a business perspective too, so I
was once again laid off. That was in January, since then I’ve had 2 interviews,
both of which have gone nowhere. The vibe of every position that’s matched my CV
has basically been the same sort of work- pretty mundane web dev roles and I can
see myself being pulled into a cycle of mundane work then being laid off. I’ve
wanted to be a developer for as long as I can remember, I started writing code
when I was 12, studied CS throughout school so I could go to uni and do it for
my degree - but now, I feel so disillusioned with the whole industry, where do I
go from here? Does it get better? How do I find a job that actually feels
fulfilling? Sorry for the ramble, it’s 4am and I just happened to stumble across
this community while scrolling. Thought it might be worth an ask. TLDR; been
laid off twice in about 2 and a half years, feeling pretty disillusioned with
everything, where do I go from here?
