Lemmy is making me depressed - Lemmy.World
Most people will probably disagree and say that I shouldn’t be here if I don’t
like it, but yeah, like the title said. I switched over from Reddit for various
reasons, and at first it was nice, but now it’s making me depressed just
casually browsing Lemmy. Everything here is so drab and negative, sometimes even
downright hateful. Everything sucks, here’s a list of companies you should never
use, here’s people that do horrible things, here’s a bunch of complaints about
stuff. This is why the world sucks, this is why your favourite thing is actually
stupid, this is why you shouldn’t enjoy xyz anymore. At least half of the
content on Lemmy is about American politics or how they affect the rest of the
world, even on meme and shitpost subs you can’t escape from the constant barrage
of politically charged content. And when it’s not American politics it’s
American lifestyle, like I get that america dominates the internet but I
sincerely do not give a shit about your egg prices or your celebrities when I’m
browsing memes to wind down. And on top of that there’s a distinct arrogance
that permeates the fediverse, where people act like they’re better than others
for being conscious, and you’re stupid for not boycotting 99 percent of brands
and eating vegan and ditching cars and using european FOSS applications on
refurbished Linux devices, etc. Honestly I’m baffled when people ask stuff like
“why don’t more people join Lemmy?” Because I honestly would not recommend it to
my friends. While it’s nice in some ways, it is also so very exhausting, and for
me personally, worse for my mental health than Reddit ever was. Rant over and
obligatory disclaimer: I did not mean to insult anyone, I don’t have anything
against the ideologies and lifestyles mentioned in my post, I simply wanted to
share my personal opinions.
How the heck am I supposed to get into Linux?

How the heck am I supposed to get into Linux? - Lemmy.World
It seems like the more interested I get in Linux, the less appealing it becomes.
The community seems to have no fucking clue what they’re talking about, because
everyone is just constantly talking over each other and contradicting
themselves! I have spent so much time reading about Linux and distros and such
to prepare for my eventual switch, but after all that I’m starting to question
if I even want to make the switch. Here’s a few of the things I have read over
and over, that confuse me to no end: * It doesn’t matter what distro you use,
but also you absolutely should not use that one!! Use that one it’s much better
trust me! * Gaming is good on Linux now, but also it’s super shit and you should
keep windows if you want to game * Sure you can use Nvidia cards, but also no
you can’t because nothing will work with them * Just dual boot if you’re not
sure, but also no don’t dual boot because windows will erase your shit if you do
* Trust me bro Linux is super easy to learn, also here’s 14 different specific
terms you’ll have to Google, but even then you’ll barely understand them *
Everything will work out of the box, but also you can’t use that thing with that
other thing without configuring that other thing first but that’ll break that
thing which needed that thing […] I’m slightly exaggerating and I may get
downvoted but I needed to vent. It honestly sometimes seems like Linux diehards
are intentionally hiding some of its major pitfalls in order to “convert” more
people to their side. I know windows sucks and that’s why I want to switch, but
at least when you have a windows question there’s a concrete answer, not a bunch
of nerds yelling out incoherent technobabble-sounding answers that all
contradict each other. And for fucks sake please type the whole words when
speaking to beginners. How am I supposed to know what a DE, a VM, a CLI, a WM,
PM, or all that other stuff is? Linux is the “least welcoming, yet most
aggressively butthurt that no one is joining it” community I’ve seen in a while.
Alright rant over, you may yell at me now.
How to use a custom domain with Tailscale on a Synology NAS?

How to use a custom domain with Tailscale on a Synology NAS? - Lemmy.World
I’ve spent too many hours googling this stuff without a solution in sight that
I’m able to understand. I am moderately new to selfhosting, especially the
networking aspect. To put it simply, all I want is to be able to access my
services through Tailscale by using subdomain.mydomain.com
[http://subdomain.mydomain.com]. I have gotten so far to point my domain to my
Tailscale IP (using Cloudflare’s DNS), so that I don’t have to copy paste the
Tailscale IP, but that means I still have to type in the ports to the services.
Between the posts saying Tailscale can handle this, to the ones saying Synology
can do it, and the remaining posts saying to use a reverse proxy (and the ones
saying reverse proxy are a bad idea because of Synology stuff) I am now very
lost. The terminology is exhausting and everyone is already so knowledgeable
that they skip the basic steps and go straight to complex, short answers. I’d
like to keep using Tailscale, as I don’t want to deal with security issues and
SSL certificates and all that, and if possible I’d like to avoid using a reverse
proxy such as npm or Caddy if there’s a built in Tailscale/Synology solution
that works. To me more services just means more stuff that can break, and I
really just want this stuff to work without fiddling with it. Thanks for any
help you can provide
Help with music library setup - Lemmy.World
I am at my wits end with this and kindly ask for assistance. I cannot for the
life of me decide on how to set up my music library for the foreseeable future:
* I started out having my library on my local pc, managed by MediaMonkey * As I
bought a NAS, I moved my library to it and used Navidrome to stream it to an
android app (Synfonium) * This meant that I’d lose the MediaMonkey management,
but I thought for now I’d just manually transfer new songs/playlists over to the
NAS when needed * As I started streaming with Navidrome, I noticed that the
speeds were really bad and music often buffered (no idea why, Jellyfin works
fine), so I cached all the songs offline * This made me think that I don’t even
need Navidrome since at that point I could just copy the music files to my phone
if they’re gonna be offline anyway, but then I don’t have a backup on the NAS
And now I’m kinda lost, unsure what the best way to handle this is. I’d like to
keep MediaMonkey in the flow for library and playlist management, and streaming
is pretty cool for those times where I’m listening on other devices. However,
having the music on my NAS just seems to create an extra middleman. What’s most
important to me is a smooth mobile experience, with a good UI and no
interruptions, as that is where I listen to music 95% of the time. How do you do
it ? Any suggestions for how to future proof my setup without too much of a
hassle (still kinda new to all this stuff)? For reference I don’t have a huge
music library, maybe a few dozen GB, so it still fits easily on my phone. Sorry
if this was too long or doesn’t fit the subreddit, but I hope someone can
enlighten me.

Wie wollen Fahrradfahrer respektiert werden wenn sie selber die Gesetze nicht respektieren?

Wie wollen Fahrradfahrer respektiert werden wenn sie selber die Gesetze nicht respektieren? - Lemmy.World
Ich gehe stark davon aus das ich in dieser Community dafür kein positive
Reaktion kriegen werde, aber egal. Wenn ich hier die ganzen Posts und
Beschwerden lese werde ich immer ein bisschen verärgert, da konstant auf andere
Verkehrsteilnehmer geschissen wird, ohne jemals zu adressieren wie die Mehrheit
der Fahrradfahrer sich selber als Verkehrsteilnehmer verhält. Ich fahre sowohl
Auto als Fahrrad regelmäßig, und es ist keine Übertreibung wenn ich behaupte das
nicht mal 20 Prozent der Fahrradfahrer auf der Strasse sich ordentlich an die
Regeln halten. Man fährt über rot, schlängelt sich gefährlich durch Stau,
wechselt konstant vom Bürgersteig auf die Strasse so wie es gerade passt, und
scheint einfach grundsätzlich das Motto zu haben “ich halte mich an die Gesetze,
ausser wenn es gerade doof ist”. Sogar wenn ich mit Freunden Fahrrad fahre,
regen die sich immer darüber auf das ich bei rot tatsächlich warte weil es ja
“eh egal ist”. Vieles muss noch getan werden um Städte besser für Fahrräder zu
gestalten, und ich bin grundsätzlich pro weniger Autos, aber ein wichtiger
Schritt meiner Meinung nach damit Leute anfangen Fahrradfahrer wirklich ernst zu
nehmen auf der Strasse, ist wenn diese einsehen das sie keinen Sonderstatus
haben nur weil sie ein kleineres und agileres Fahrzeug steuern. Und damit möchte
ich nicht sagen das Autofahrer (und fussgänger) heilige sind. Ich weiss wie
gefährlich und idiotisch Menschen sein können, und wie gefährlich es ist nicht
die Person in der Tonnenschweren stahlbox zu sein, jedoch bin ich fest davon
überzeugt das wenn man ebenbürtig behandelt werden will, man sich auch am die
gleichen Regeln halten soll, egal wie nervig das gerade ist. Ich fahre ja auch
nicht im Auto über rot nur weil gerade niemand anders an der Kreuzung ist. Und
bevor jetzt Leute kommen die sagen “Aber ich mach das ja nicht”, schön. Trotzdem
passiert es vielleicht bei einem von 10 Malen, das ich einen Fahrradfahrer sehe
der ordentlich fährt, so selten das ich mich teilweise richtig freue wenn es
endlich mal passiert, denn das macht es auch für mich einfacher die Person mit
Abstand und Vorsicht zu behandeln, wenn sie sich nicht unvorhersehbar und
impulsiv verhält.
