Buggy software, not so user friendly, things don't work, new things to learn..

Sometimes you just wanna do a simple thing and you cannot do it and that really undermines your self esteem.

You try to find little working solutions when big techs with armies of engeneers and programmers are working against you.

Aurora store stopping to work, apps getting blocked on lineage os or rooted phones, Reddit cleaning out all those amazing third party apps, Linux that wanna make you destroy your pc at times, Firefox remaining the only real alternative to chromium (only god knows for how long yet), google wanting to DRM everything, ig blocking my account because i was using barinsta (i cannot even delete it), Newpipe getting stuck after 1/4 of the video.

Sometimes you find half of your software stops working and you need to go and understand why, fixing or checking for alternatives..

Is it possible that we have from one side mass tracking and surveilance and from the other a (sometimes understandibly quite not organized) series of freely mainteined software.

Can't we just find a new way of monetize stuff without ads? So that we can build really nicely working software without all the shit that comes from the need of having to track the user? Are there real alternatives? We need to get organized and actually starting to build a better web and software, but i really think an economical incentive is still very much needed for it to be stable and usable by everyone.

Sorry this is more of a rant than a real post, sometimes everything really gets frustrating and you have to deal with much more serious shit in life that doesn't leave time for checking out why your Newpipe, your gps or home server doesn't work..

I wanna buy an ebook reader but i don't want any amazon or other companies shit in there, just something i can connect to my pc, pass ebooks in different formats into it and read.

Hi! I'm learning code: I've been doing a bit of JavaScript, and now i'm switching to TypeScript before going through frameworks.

One thing i'm quite missing is the possibility to have a personal documentation environment: something that let me write documentation on what i'm learning WHILE writing code and following my courses, using something like typedoc or javadoc.

I have been using Obsidian, that is good for markdown content, and i can generate docs with typedoc-markdown-plugin that i can then open on obsidian. However i would like to have both my code and my docs all togheter, not for a single project but for all the courses and little projects i'm doing, having it all togheter stored in one place, and possibly being able to share it as a portfolio in the future.

I don't specifically need to show the code in this environment, i just need the docs to be visible and to be pointing to the specific sections of the environment holding my code (wich can be github links like the ones that typedoc automatically add). I would like to have one directory for each project containing both my code and my docs.

Something like a programming digital garden! But integrated with tools that generate documentation from my code.

I've tried the typedoc-hugo-plugin to host a static docs website with Hugo, but it's not quite mantained and came with a lot of bugs, like broken links.

I'm trying to use Docusaurus and docusaurus-plugin-typedoc; it looks quite good, however i understood it is designed more to hold documentation for a single big project than for a series of small (learning oriented) projects. You need to configure each extra (more than one) docs folder to get it work properly, which is something i would avoid, if possible.

I love all the TSdoc standard thing, but i don't really know how to put everything togheter.

This seem quite counter intuitive and to be bloating the project: i'm trying to install tsdoc linter, but npm adds like other 50 packages alongside with it, is this the expected behaviour? Why is it so?

A project that could easily be 5MB ends up being like 60MB

I see i can find a foss version on f-droid, and that's something not a lot of social networks can have, i don't really like all the crypto bullshit and ads testing they've been up to lately, but still looks better to me compared to what Reddit have done lately or what other platforms have done in these years..

I don't know about their privacy feature, but i wouldn't trust their chat as for as far as i knew they were not end to end encrypted some time ago (except for secret chats).

Anyway it still looks like one of the at least still decent platforms out there, or am i wrong?

I'm doing a JavaScript course, i got to know typescript and i definetely see it as a way better alternative and way of writing cleaner code in the usually messed up js.

Anyway it's not quite clear to me what i should do now, because i understand javascript to a decent level, but i woul love to use typescript in the future for my projects..

It's knowing javascript in depth better or should i opt into a new course that teaches typescript in depth, if so, do you have any resources (free, paid courses, free docs like MDN or javascript.info) to suggest me?

I'm following the "complete javascript course" from jonas schemdtman, that i got suggested from coding communities, on udemy, which is an 80 hours course that looks quite complete to me, it teaches about the js engine, its compilation style and its runtime too, not just the code, is there anything similar? My goal would be opting into typescript and really digging into it, really learning how it works on code level and behind the scenes.

I've been using linux for some time now, i would still say i'm quite a noob but i've tried different desktop environments, for my experience i found GNOME to always be suited for me, anyway i heard many good opinions on KDE and i would love to try that too, i've tried cinnamon before and couldn't really see myself using it, i've seen Kubuntu and looks quite lovely, what's in your opinion the distro that best implements KDE on Debian or preferably Ubuntu?

I reaserached for hours but it looks like since they added typesense the 32-bit armv7 is no longer supporterd with docker.

I have a raspberry pi 4b with Raspbian installed which sadly is 32 bit, even the docked docs say they require a 64 bit, but i heard people usually habe no trouble setting up docker packages in a 32 bit.

Docker is the only way to install Immich right now, i tried to install an older version without typesense but docker can't find the package for those ("unknown") pheraps because it's a pretty old version.

I wonder if someone had the same problem and found a solution outside of that crazy dude in the repo discussion that managed to get it running somehow compiling it on its own.

I really love computer science, coding and mostly all the amazing things you can do with this knowledge, i feel i finally landed in my world.

I'm doing a Javascript course now and while it is really engaging to learn about how a language like that works and how to build with it, i'm getting quite tired and frustrated..

Now, i'd say i am quite meticulous when studying and i use some studying techniques to really integrate what i'm learning, but that means that 1h or even less lesson can take me all the time i have to study in a day to be understood, noted down and then repeated over the following days..

There are a lot of quite complicated concepts to understand and memorize, and, as i'm also working, sometimes it gets quite tiring.

I feel like there's this huge amount of never ending work and concepts before i can actually start do something cool with the knowledge i have, and i really want to start doing something cool.

I re-started to study after many years so i'd say it's also because of that if i'm not really used to it and i can't process much informations at the time.

How can you get better into gaining knowledge? how can you prevent getting fatigued?

I think maybe 3/4 of you already knew this, but it is just beautiful to see piracy represented in a nice song, still makes me dream of a free web 😢

Deluge has this nice plugin called scheduler that let's you program at which time the torrents should download/seed, if you have a small homeserver on something such as a raspberry pi you can just schedule deluge to work when you're asleep, this way you can seed/download while not impacting your bandwidth when you need it, very useful to really slow connections (like mine).

This way you can keep seeding for months without even noticing!

Title, everything i found online or didn't play or had this super annoying thing of having playlists without track chosing available.

Spotube just crashes on my phone and it hasn't podcasts, which i need.
