I find Boost for lemmy to work really well for me. I also use Voyager as a backup.

I have tried Buyvm when I was getting into selfhosting during the pandemic.

They were pretty cheap too, not sure about the pricing these days but you should take a look.

Recently I have started using this app called Nightwave Plaza. It has a surprisingly good selection of chill music that I can play in the background.

Hah… I used to search up an issue and see my own unanswered question on reddit as the first result. ಠ_ಠ

I usually use audiobookbay.

I want to thank you so much for suggesting this. I’m almost caught up with all the episodes of the podcast and I’m hooked. I just wish I had the time to follow up each episode with supplementary reading.

P.S: sorry for necroposting !

I was super interested in getting a job in cybersec, especially red team. But unfortunately no one wanted a fresher like me when I graduated.

Then things led to one another and I found myself working as a web developer. I’d still jump to a good cybersec job if I ever land one.

I’m in India. Everyone I talk to just recommend either working as a developer or working abroad.

They do have a reason for saying this though. The average electrician , plumber and carpenter that they know are all make enough to survive but not enough to lead a lavish lifestyle. People who work in waste management and transport usually make even less than electricians and plumbers.

Maybe things are changing these days, I’ll have to talk to the right people to get a better idea…

If you don’t mind, what set of skills got you employed ?

I only see an option to open the player in a new window. I didn’t see anything related to external players.

One thing I could try is to run stremio and mpv on a distrobox Archlinux container and see of it does the job.

Edit: can confirm that running stremio in an arch distrobox does work.

Also watermelon sugar.

I wish there was an active philosophy community on lemmy. I kinda miss r/Askphilosophy and r/askhistorians.

And to answer your question -

I don’t really know. I guess people belive in souls so as to eternalize themselves and thereby reducing their fear of death, knowing that their soul will be out somewhere instead of the idea that they will return to a state of nothing.

I also think discord nitro is kind of B.S . The only reason I still use discord is because my friends use it.

I wish there were similar features in Matrix clients like Element. Just the voice channels feature will be enough for me.

Revolt chat is a good alternative. It lacks in features but its pretty good for an FOSS project. I tried to convince my friends to use it but they crawled back to discord after 2 days.

Wait isn’t that a language learning app ? Does it also play anime ?

I have been putting this off for some time now as the RSS feed in qbittorrent was sufficient enough for me. (Also storage space is quite limited on my computer)

I guess I’ll check it out this weekend.

Yeah the UI is really good. On top of that it supports extensions from Aniyomi and Mihon too.

Although, from my experience the manga reader could use a bit of tweaking as it’s a bit janky (compared to tachiyomi, Mihon and kotatsu)

Thanks, I didn’t know about this one. Looks like a fairly big project judging by the stars on the github repo.

I have used cloudstream in the past for watching TV shows and Movies. I remember that some sources were just not loading the video for me.

Do you have any preferred sources that you use in cloudstream ?

I guess it’s because a lot of local news channels and personalities still use twitter.

I don’t seem to recollect any movie at the moment but here are some TV shows or anime -

1. Mr. Robot - one of my favourite TV shows, most people using lemmy might have already watched it.

2. Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu - its about a very lonely middleschool kid’s romance

3. Koe no Katachi - very popular anime movie. Also one of my favourites.

4. Bocchi the Rock - Anime about an extremly introverted girl wanting to play guitar in a highschool band.

5. Re-Life - its an anime about a grown up guy getting a chance to re-live his high-school days as part of a experiment or something like that. It was pretty good.

6. Lookism - its a Manhwa, but also has an anime. Basically the main character gets 2 bodies mysteriously. The original body is the ugly one which people bully him for and the second body is like that of a (male) kpop artist which people view differently.

7. Death’s game - it’s a kdrama I recently watched. Although it doesn’t exactly fit in with the theme of ‘lonlieness’ I thought I’d mention it.

P.S - some shows I mentioned here might not be as loneliness inducing as you think.
