If you masturbate often and don't feel the relief you expect, thus feeling addicted to sex/masturbation: is it really cumming you are after or do seek the intimacy that comes with sexual relationships? If it's the latter, you may not be "addicted", you just tried to use the wrong tool for the job (pun intended). While this may not bring any improvement to your situation, at least know that you are not broken. Trying to fix the longing for intimacy with masturbation is just like trying to fix thirst by drinking oil. It may seem related, yet will ultimately get you nowhere.

So those who misuse company assets to enrich themselves b mining crypto get rewarded by larger bonuses? Sounds like the way the world works for those super rich fellas like Elon "Edgelord" Musk.

Hey everyone,

I'm currently using immich for my omagensercer and I love it very much. Now I wanted to revive an old tablet as a digital picture frame and I'm not sure how to best do this.

I want to frame to run a certain album on Immich in a (random) loop. My first idea was to use Immich's slideshow Features, yet those switch Images way too fast and I have found no way to customize the interval.

Another way would be to run the slideshow locally but I didn't find a way to Auto-Download images to a device when someone adds an imagemto an album.

So: how would you do this? Has anyone already done it?

Looking forward to your input :)

Soo, I just set up my own Piped instance and noticed that you could disable "LBRY-integration". I did a very quick search and learned that this is some sort of decentralised content sharing thingy. I thought nothing much of it at the time, assumed it was some way to speed up streams or whatever and just went on with my day. I did discover that Odysee was made with that protocol, so I assumed it was just some PeerTube-ish thing.

Until today. I just saw the "LBRY is shutting down"-post on this community. I read it and noticed that LBRY was some kind of web3-nonsense? That got me looking. So the way I understand LBRY, it's basically an Indexer on a Blockchain that points to BitTorrent content which is then served as online media... right? I'm confused.

Now I have two questions:

What and why is LBRY?
How and why is Piped using LBRY?

Hope someone can enlighten me :)

Readarr and yENC-Numbersalad (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi there, I've recently tried to use the Usenet and I am amazed how much stuff is on there and at which speeds it can be accessed. Yet... Readarr has been giving me a headache recently and I think this is due to some peculiarity of the Usenet.

It recently started downloading sources to many files with wild naming schemes at the end of the file like

(2019).zip.vol31+32.par2 yEnc

just to complain that it didn't find any files in the download. Now I get that yEnc is some sort of cypher-format and since the files are usually under 10mb, I get that these are probably single chapter or something. Searching the Usenet by hand, I'll usually find many parts of the same audio book with those numbers slapped onto them. Some don't even follow consecutive numbering and contain vol3+79 or something.

So: How am I supposed to download those and how am I supposed to teach Readarr how to handle them?

Thank you for putting in the effort!

Yet... I don't get why using the *Arr stack and Plex is so popular. Plex is annoying as fuck and tries to shill you their paid bullshit at every corner. The Arr stack is buggy and having a separate system for recommendations and requests and for library management is super cumbersome for me. Compare that with Stremio... I could never convince the wife to use Plex with overseer at all. Stremio is super convenient.

Im just saying this because I spent my weekend getting another Arr stack running after years of absence and noticed that the whole thing is as convoluted and fiddly as ever and that really got me wondering why people just take this as the industry standard for torrenting.

Audiobookshelf remote volume (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hey there, I need the techies among you: I got an Arr stack running on a VPS with lots of storage, but have my Audiobookshelf set up on my regular VPS where it has been running for quite a while now. So I'd like to keep it where it is basically and mount the audiobooks folder from Readarr in the torrent VPS into my other VPS. Since Readarr uses Hard Links and Audiobookshelf streams the files: what would your approach be and which protocol would you use for that?

Have only read the title. There is this cool font I found recently. It's called comic sans and it's really neat. Just use it with color="red" on a black background! Looks super cool!

Yes, people who fought against the Russians aren't necessarily Nazis, but people who joined the SS voluntarily are.

Even for all who had swords, their primary assault weapon was usually some form of pointy murder stick, usually handheld and horse-propelled

Well, let's compare our options here, shall we? We realistically have.two ways to leave this world:

  1. Hospital (chosen by most or chosen for most by others)
  2. gloomy hot goth girl murder dungeon

If we look at number two which is not the immediate choice for most I think, at least you go out with black candles, pentagrams, music that is somehow too techno and groovy and too emo at the same time and gargoyles and dragons made from black coated epoxy resin all around you, perhaps even with a bit of naughty time.

That's preferable to the bland white room with lots of tubes that go into your natural bodily orifices or have orifices specifically created for them, isn't it?

Just wanted to add that part of this may be a culture thing. Here in Germany, you are required to get your employers permission to get a second job or the like. Many of you might instinctively find this corporate BS, but in reality it's mainly worker's protection. No employee is allowed to work over 60 (I think) hours in a week. To make the companies stick to that, the government will come for them if any worker exceeds this number. Your employer has the responsibility to not let you exceed that, even across multiple jobs. That's why you have to get permission for side hustles. There are other (not so pro worker) reasons for this, but that would go too far. Suffice to say that Lütke is German and this might be some thing he brought from Germany.

Hey there, I finally decided to try out Pixelfed and made an account on an Instance close to me (really nice instance-finder imho). Yet, the instance itself is rather small and when I open the global feed, Pixelfed turns into a mastodon-client basically since all it shows are Mastodon-Toots. Also, all "Discover" Features seem to be local only. Is this expected behaviour?

So this has been going around my head for a while now: What if they do not care about their users per se but want the few users they get to exploit the federation to shamelessly crawl the fediverse?

I mean... they get enough users that will subscribe to enough of the fediverse to make instances of every shape and size proactively deliver them our post and interaction data with free shipping, right?

So is defederating in the end not only a prevention against company controlled content that might flood the fediverse, but a measure to protect the users on the fediverse right now from ending up in Meta's databases just in the same way they would if they just had used facebook in the first place?

Shitposting aside: there is a valid point on there. Because we can't see our opposites in any discussion on the internet, we cannot take clues into account we otherwise might have. This leads to far-reaching misinterpretations. Imagine someone with a very weird and overly simplistic political stance they defend with tooth and nail. Now imagine that person to be some activist with a cap with political slogans on it. Okay, and now imagine the person to be not that, but a 15-year-old who just started to grasp the world around them but thinks they have it all figured out (puberty doing puberty things). Your reaction to either of them would be VASTLY different, wouldn't it. Imagine how many stupid internet fights would never have happened if it was known that one of the participants is a literal child that can't have a clue what they are talking about yet.

Yet, not knowing that we've been arguing with a child for the last hour and a half, we will leave the discussion with the impression that there are grown up people out there thinking childish bullshit. Don't get me wrong, there are those people, but they are not as frequent as one might guess from the internet.

Hey there, I set up a Wefwef-Instance behind a ngninx reverse proxy. The server responds fine, yet when I call it through a forwarded domain, Wefwef will only return the page-header ("wefwef for lemmy") and a black page. Does anyone know why that would be?

Idk where this upheaval always comes from when a Youtuber decides to not work for a while. If Dan Smithson in 69 Boredom-Boulevard, Unspectacular-City, Illinois decides to take a break from freelance-work, no one bats an eye. But if a Youtuber does it, everybody loses their minds!

Lemmy instance with MariaDB (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hey there, I thought about starting my own Lemmy instance, yet I'd really like to use my already running MariaDB server for the database. I haven't found anything in the docs (might be me though). Is that possible or will I have to set up Postgresql?
