Früher ein Repository auf Codeberg, jetzt eine einfache Website.

Edit: manchmal wird die Seite leer angezeigt, weil der Entwickler z.B. das Backend neu startet. Der ursprüngliche Fehler hier im Forum wurde tatsächlich gefixt.

Slow clap 👏

I'm self-hosting my own music server and I want to

• add new music to it
• buy it and thus reward the artists whose music I put on there (i.e. no piracy)
• not deal with physical media (I'm not a collector, and I want to avoid plastic waste)
• own the files; no DRM or similar bullshit
• use a European vendor, or at least non-U.S.

I used to buy my music through Amazon, but I've cancelled my account in early 2025 (for obvious reasons) and I'm not going back. I'd love to hear your suggestions: what platforms do you know that fulfil the above criteria? And how do you get your music?

Inspired by !v0ite@piefed.social 's post yesterday some pics from a playtest. I was on an event and had British Army inspired set with a webbing, some MTP and some multicam clothing. I take the webbing and a backpack over my chest rig or plate carrier, when I want to sustain myself for a longer period (24h/48h matches). It wasn't necessary on that particular event, so I switched later on.

Gear is basically:

• Begadi M4 Nova (Daniel Defence MK18) AEG
• CYMA CM.131A S-AEG
• MTP Webbing
• MTP Fieldjacket
• Clawgear Raider MK.IV pant
• German army boots (Haix Scout)
• UF Pro Boonie
• Earmor Coms
• Savotta Kahaka 15L Backpack

Not in the picture are my many MTP trousers and combat shirts and Gore Tex. Also missing is my Linderhof chest rig and my Helikon Tex guardian plate carrier: all in MTP and multicam.

I'm planing on adding a springer and a AAP-01 GBB pistol this year.

wsocial wants to establish their brand under wsocial.eu

Somebody registered https://w-social.eu/ ... as I said: not all heroes wear capes.

The map even gets cramped on pages like https://fediverse.observer/map or https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/de/map/fediverse-near-me_828094#7/

Hey, I can't reach https://buy-european.net/ . Resolving the page stops at their CDN bunny.net . Is this a temporary outtake?

I just saw the newly created community !buyfromeu@lemmy.world which seems to be close to the creators of https://www.goeuropean.org/ .

While knowing, that it is good to spread the information about alternatives in a nicely designed and strategic way at places the people are, I try do get my head around, that they entertain instagram, facebook and linkedin accounts.

When accepting that those are the places to be and information people, I still have to ask, why they use softr, which hosts everything on Amazon services.

This feels inconsiderate and nothing I would like recommend.

Edit:

• They address some of the issues in their FAQ.
• They work on a new version of the website.
• Merch and affiliate links and no transparency report doesn't sit well with me.

With Microsoft bodging the operating system by disabling offline accounts, cramping AI in everything and obviously don't giving a flying f*** about your personal data: how far did you come sweeping that company from your or your family members life?

For me, it is still hard to evade Microsoft, as for reasons, companies and governments are still buying into that ecosystem (Teams, OneDrive, Office, Azure, ...).

Did you manage to cut or phase Microsoft out?

With the idea to get away from Gillette razors (due to too much waste) I just pulled out my rusty trusty shavette, put in a razor blade and cut myself open like a dork 🩸.

Sitting here with a bloody attitude, I ordered a cheap safety razor, minutes before I found shavent.

Do we have a shaved chad, that can vouch for shavent?

Might be my next move, if the new safety razor is still not safe enough for this unshaved monkey.

Na gucke mal. Geht ja doch.

Und wieder eine erwähnenswerte ePetition. Diesmal das Thema Kein Progressionsvorbehalt auf Elterngeld vom 07.01.2026 .

Die ePetition Keine Streichung der Lohnfortzahlung am ersten Krankheitstag vom 27.11.2025 trifft hier doch bestimmt einen Nerv, oder?

Gönnt Euch auch gerne die Diskussion in den Kommentaren der Petition 🫠

(Ist sowas subversives eigentlich per Definition NSFW?)
