Rhynoplaz, in How to combine sports and study?

I think you worry too much.

Valmond,

Yes true, but do Aikido instead. For example.

Or some even less violent sport.

Or some even more violent hobby but who’s not inferring too much brain damage, like chess.

intensely_human,

If you want to develop your coordination, aikido is fine. If you want to protect yourself, aikido is worthless.

Valmond,

If you’re not a fighter type you might freeze up whatever sport you do in the wrong situation.

Maybe piped?

The degoogled, open source way is to send them a link to your self-hosted media server.

JetpackJackson,

I wish I could but I don’t have one :( I have no money and no knowledge of where to search for a good guide to start

KISSmyOS,

For private use, you could set it up on any old pc, a router or a Raspberry Pi.
The time to learn is the limiting factor.

JetpackJackson,

Can the device be turned off to give it a rest or does it need to be running all the time? I dont know if my dad is still going to use our pi3 for games (and i know i dont need anymore computers rn either)… maybe i could run it on my laptop? But i use it for school… I gotta think about it. In the meantime, do you have any guides that can reduce the time to learn?

I’m not super well-versed on the music side of self-hosted media management, but in regards to running it all the time - you can shut it off, however no one will be able to access any media from it while its offline (unless there’s a download/save-offline feature for whichever platform is used).

JetpackJackson,

Alright that makes sense, thank you

KISSmyOS,

It needs to be running all the time you need its services. If it’s not running it can’t serve you music.
Modern PCs and laptops don’t have an issue with that, even with Windows 10/11.
But a Raspberry Pi with a large HDD (with its own power supply) attached would be perfect IMO.

JetpackJackson,

Alright, thank you. I’ll see if I can use the pi for this then

Don’t listen to these guys, there’s a really easy solution:

  1. Set you voice mail greeting to the song you want to share
  2. Share your phone number with your group or post it online to the folks you want to share the song with
  3. Don’t answer your phone for a few days
bartleby1,

what if your friends are in another country

JetpackJackson,

Lol that’s one way of doing it I suppose

There’s a self-hosting Community here: !selfhosted

But for a pretty easy and low cost way to get started you can’t go wrong with yunohost - it has lots of music server apps such as funkwhale, amapache etc.

JetpackJackson,

Ooh thank you for the community and the link! I’ll have to look into those!

roeeeeeeeee, (edited ) in FOSS alternative to... Sending Spotify links?

Some alternative clients of Apple Music I use use the API of this to copy “universal” song/album links. It also has functions as a music search engine so maybe it can be useful to you. It’s not FOSS and its privacy policy could be better though. odesli.co

JetpackJackson,

That looks interesting!

I’m confused, can you not just search “Blur Song 2 spotify” (for example) in your browser and copy the link that comes up without ever actually clicking it or using Spotify? I don’t use Spotify either but sometimes want to show my friends songs and I know they won’t listen unless it’s a Spotify link so I do this.

fubo, (edited ) in FOSS alternative to... Sending Spotify links?

I know I’m middle aged but … MP3s? A few megabytes isn’t that much these days.

JetpackJackson,

I just didn’t want to look weird/sus plus mp3s don’t always do a preview thing in discord (I know, I’m trying to switch to matrix) so sometimes it makes you download the file But yeah I guess I can just send the file

Sabata11792,

I haven't touched an MP3 file for years. Everything's streamed.

meiko60,
@meiko60@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I still touch MP3 because it is compact and we need everything to be stored locally.

JackGreenEarth, in FOSS alternative to... Sending Spotify links?

Just send the mp3 file.

bartleby1,

this is the only correct answer

tofubl, (edited ) in FOSS alternative to... Sending Spotify links?

What about this? https://songwhip.com/

Example

scytale,

Cool! I didn’t know about this. Thanks for the recommendation.

JetpackJackson,

That’s perfect! Thank you so much!

Find it on Piped or some other YouTube front end that isn’t associated with Google aside from allowing you to watch the videos uploaded to YT.

Captain_Patchy, in What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

Shuffle no repeat on my 60 gb ipod classic. Also shuffle no repeat using VLC for android on my phone.

slurp, in FOSS alternative to... Sending Spotify links?

I’m curious about this too, but more for for sharing long, self-made playlists. A single song is not too bad to send or find on YouTube but a playlist is difficult

Sounds like you’ve never trained. If you want to try kickboxing or Muay Thai you’re not going to be starting out sparring. You’ll be learning the basics. That is, of course unless you’re at some dodgy ass gym that pushes everyone to spar right out of the gate. In which case you should avoid and go to a proper gym. If you’re getting many hard hits to the head in training starting out you’re doing it wrong or your partner is an asshole. Just do it. I trained with other people in IT, I remember one guy was a C++ programmer. Stop over thinking it and go for it.

MaggiWuerze,

My girlfriend and a friend of hers went to a kickboxing lesson once and they had the student kick each other inner thigh all day. She was completely bruised up for the next week.

Getting a good gym for this is a process I guess and you shouldn’t expect to stay with your first one

hiremenot_recruiter,
@hiremenot_recruiter@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

That shit ain’t right! It’s sad that those wannabe gyms exist and it puts off people who would likely otherwise have a good, albeit still tough time (with some conditioning).

cashews_best_nut, in What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

On Android install InnerTune from F-Droid. Allows you to play Youtube Music for free and no ads.

brambledog,

I was using innertune and will go.back to it when I can convince my wife to stop paying for youtube, but I’m definitely not looking forward to going back to it.

Innertune had issues communicating with Bluetooth and would have loading issues when not on wi-fi.

Also, the app fully breaks and has to be redownloaded if you attempt to use a widget maker for it.

Shinzid, in How to combine sports and study?

I agree with the sentiment of the other posts - you’re over thinking it.

All martial arts come with an inherent risk of injury, some more than others but once you start, one of the fundamental things you learn is restraint and control. General sparring/training won’t be too rough on you unless you get an asshole partner or you’re still not prepared enough. If you’re afraid of taking blows to the head then look for one that’s less heavy on the head like grappling for example.

Try to find a physical hobby that you enjoy and improve yourself through that. Try out a couple different stuff and stick with one that resonates with you the most. Make some friends, expand your worldview, learn new things - you’ll get further in terms of strength and skill if you’re actually into whatever you’re doing.

Also, it doesn’t have to be a fighting sport. Any sport or physical activity will make you stronger. If fighting ability is what you’re after then go for it, but it’s not the only option.

My advice is that fighting isn’t the only thing when it comes to protecting your family. Physical/mental health, knowledge, finances, reliability, sociability; a lot of other things are important as well and deserve the time to be worked on.
