I help people and build things that help people.
Check out our instance and our communities:
After many careers and much money earned and spent, I now try to go by „ikigai“. Its a japanese theory and teaches you to be aware of what it is that you want, what makes you money, what the world needs and what you‘re good at, basically. This is how I went from a very well paid but soul sucking job to a lesser paid but much more fulfilling work.
For me it was building computers and the stuff around it. Its fun and it makes decent money if done right.
Good luck!
You can also read about retraumatization. Its statistically likely for a sufficiently traumatized person to walk into situations (both by their own and other‘s specific configuration) that deepen the trauma. Then there are intense risc factors like being part of one or many minorities. At some points, life becomes an obstacle course just to keep that from happening over and over because the outcome of that vicious cycle is brutal.
To the second part: yes, that and capitalism. It would be infinitely easier for a person to just heal if there wasnt constant pressure from all sides to produce meaningless „work“ for some oligarch or another but thats beyond the scope here i guess.

Definitely not nobody but statistically VERY FEW people will have this combination:
Edit: nice try to fingerprint me, big tech. You succeeded! /j
Not really sure but it feels like this suggests you always have a choice. You really dont. Depending on the shit you‘ve been through, things will be shit forever and you just have to deal with it. Then again, it light just try to spark discussion.
To those who have lasting damage from their parent‘s mistakes: I feel you. You don’t need their love or their approval for anything.
But nobody could have seen that coming! /s
If you - like me - dont like to use large companies if you can avoid it, I suggest a proxy server. You open port 8089 or something on your router, (security bonus: accept only connections from proxy‘s ip,) install nginx proxy manager and reroute the domain in question to said ip and port.
This probably works in many ways but thats the first that comes to my mind.
Of course you can use cloudflare free tier afaik. But remember, if you dont pay for it, you‘re the product.
Exactly how I see it and did it. Thanks for mentioning this.
I only had to read like three or four sentences to arrive at the conclusion: yes, you should absolutely self host and you‘re already pretty far.
Depending on your location, I suggest you first visit your local hackspace, if that exists. I have had a similar journey and it took me years to arrive at my current state. Had I learned about „hacker communities“ earlier, I would have taken a very different and less stressful path.

Actually, this has been discussed on lemmy and we tried to set something up but it didnt pan out afaik. Feel free to push for it or link it if you find something that would work.
Never heard of that. Feel free to share info.
Plex is just really polished and kind of makes sharing with low tech friends easy imo. But switching to proper foss is on my list.
Exactly my thought. Thank you for pointing that out.
That would be neat as well. :) thanks for sharing.
There actually already is steamdb which does that exact thing. The reason I suggested it is because probably all would benefit from it.
One that splits my money over open source projects per my usage (I tell them). Currently it is too hard to find all donation links of all projects one uses and then keep an eye on them, update payment info and amount. Also if many people donate small amounts it would lessen the overhead compared to one person donating small amounts.
I understood that. Sorry if that wasnt clear.
What I‘m saying is please (who can) consider asking and paying people for implementing this stuff.
For example: voice chat in discord (or any) bridges isnt implemented because it is a lot of work but it is doable.
Consider making a gofundme for paying someone to do it if you cant afford it yourself.
One reason why open source is far behind prorietary stuff (foss can be commercial, see nextcloud) is because people keep thinking anything in life is actually free.
There is no such thing as free lunch. If you‘re getting free software it is because someone donated their time to make it.
In case of discord: make an issue on the mautrix bridges for example and add a financial incentive if you can so people can afford to make this for you. Good luck :)
No problem.
I can see how one would struggle to use these bridges. They‘re not polished yet. Have you donated to the maker yet? Because people keep comparing stuff that people make for free in their free time to multi million dollar priducts.
We should all either put in work or money before we allow ourselves to judge these apps. I personally spend 1% of my income additionally to helping the development.
What part do you feel is horrible? I enjoyed playing it a lot.
I’m monitoring the cpu and ram and so far the server isnt utilizing it except short bursts which dont max out anything. i’ll try and optimize the network first and then go for performance. i suppose its a multi stage issue by now. will update on the matter.

I suggest a long nail. Make sure to hammer it in nice and deep so the breaker holds.
