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.
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
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).
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
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
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.
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
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).
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.
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.
Other people kinda already said it, but try to find a martial art which is more focused on self-defense and that should reduce the risk of training injury.
I played American football for 4 years, then got a computer science degree and am now a professional software engineer. I definitely took some blows to the head but thankfully never any concussions. You can do it.
Instead of kickboxing you could try splitting your time between running, and strength training. Cardio will help with the sedentary nature of university course work, and strength training (weight lifting) will provide greater muscle control and definition. As long as you don’t over do either, you should be able to defend yourself, and your loved ones, while remaining fit and healthy. These are also good habits to develop so that you can continue after your time at your university is complete…just my .02
HorizonXI. It’s a classic Final Fantasy XI server.
I grew up playing XI and wanted to get back into it, but the retail server is a solo experience these days. Horizon has been incredible to relive my childhood on Horizon, and the community is amazing. It’s certainly not for everyone but I’m so glad to have it in my life.
I was lucky in that the ffxi US beta was my first dive into an MMO. And I think it’s one of the best games ever, but the harsh reality is that it’s hard and tedious, especially for folks who only have experience with super hand holdy MMOs like they mostly are today. If you can get into it, it can be like crack, but I really feel like most people won’t have the patience for it these days.
This isn’t me saying don’t try it. Try it for sure. Just be ready for a huge time sink. It doesn’t help you at all.
I absolutely agree. XI is hard and a huge time sync. I don’t think most gamers would enjoy it at all, and most of my enjoyment comes from nostalgia and the sense of community.
