I’ll start by plugging Harvard’s free courses catalog as well as Udemy
Edit: Gonna add 2 more I remembered-
Blender - I wish I had more time to learn it, but I did start the infamous “Donut Tutorial” once!
Watch Cartoons Online - Lots of good older stuff!
Learn a little docker and start self hosting stuff! Pihole is a great one to start with, but there are lots of other awesome projects out there:
I agree, you can use an old desktop, laptop, or if you don’t have something I had good luck with the local university surplus store.
How do I “learn a little docker”? Where do I start?
YouTube. Duckduckgo.
Personally I’m running 13 containers for various things. Worth it.
But I googled docker, and only found apps that can be installed. Does it both require something to run the docker apps in?
Docker is a program that runs on an OS, usually Linux, and the docker apps or images are run by docker on the OS docker is installed on.
I’m a rookie, but I run TrueNAS which runs docker images. Previously I ran plain Debian with docker installed to run docker images.
Check out NetworkChuck’s channel on YouTube. He has a bunch of videos on docker and docker compose.
Before you start can I ask what experience you have with computers, command line, and have you ever done any programming.
Programming isn’t necessary but it helps me see if you’ve been exposed to the kind of syntax you will see in docker.
Happy to help you learn this though.
I’m on a course to become full stack developer, and I know the command line (basics), have an old laptop running Linux Mint that I want to test to use as a docker, but I have no idea where to start.
You could follow a guide to install portainer, it’s got a web gui to manage docker. It can handle installing most types of docker containers.
When you find a cool project to install, they almost always have a docker compose template you can use to install their container.
The docker compose tells docker which containers to install and how they might rely on each other as well as which ports to run on and where all their config and/or data files should be stored.
Using a docker compose makes things super simple to update by using portainer to repull the images to the latest versions and run those. The new containers running the new versions will have all the same config and see the same data/config directories that you specify in the docker compose.
I run a bunch of containers, some good examples are the ARR stack to download tv shows and movies. Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, Transmission are all defined in one docker compose. Another couple of great containers I run are Actual Budget for budgeting software and Tandoor for saving and managing recipes and grocery lists. Actual Budget and Tandoor have their own docker compose configs.
I am going to be pasting a set of commands to get docker and docker compose set up, but please be wary of people giving commands to run in the terminal. You could use the information I’ve provided to help you find guides to confirm that no weird commands, but I copied this from my guide I use whenever I set up a new VM to use docker.
So the commands below add any dependencies for docker, adds the GPG key to verify and then installs docker and docker compose. I also set up a docker user add them to the docker group so I don’t need to use sudo to run.
I then use docker to create a portainer instance. Portainer allows you to use a webUi to see what you have running and stop start any of your services from there.
After this I have provided a docker compose file which would be named docker-compose.yml. Yaml sucks as it constantly moans about spacing, but essentially you want to use spaces and not tabs and each new line would be indented two spaces unless it’s a sub part of the section above then it would be two more spaces etc.
This docker compose might or might not be what you need, this one first sets up gluetun, which is a VPN layer which I can route other services through as you don’t want to torrent from your IP.
So gluetun is set up using ProtonVPN and you pass the username and password. Username has +pmp for port forwarding.
Then each service under here can choose to use the service:gluetun or bridge network. The former is for the VPN the latter is routed through regular network. Notice how anything routed through the VPN has the ports defined in the VPN service.
The others things you would need to be conscious of is the paths I have used for /mnt/vault/* as these are network attached storage from TrueNAS. Depending on how you want to store things you’ll need to just add the paths to these. The paths look weird but the part before the colon is where it is on your machine and the part after is what it is called inside that container.
You’ll notice that Plex requires a claim key but you can google how to find that.
This isn’t going to get you up and running and you will likely run in to permission errors and other errors along the way. I would suggest coming back here with your errors or giving them to ChatGPT, just don’t blindly copy commands if you don’t know what they do.
Once your docker compose is complete you can run docker compose up -d to spin it up. Then in portainer you can see all the containers and then login to each and do the setup. Docker compose down to stop them all.
When I set this up I did the gluetun and then Radarr. Get that working and then add your next thing and then the next and so on until you have what you want.
As I said this isn’t a complete solution and you will run into roadblocks, but that’s the fun for me and I am happy to help when you get stuck along the way.
Edit: A few more things you should know. The volumes section. The ones starting with ./ means they’re in the directory where the docker compose file is. And as I have perms to 1001 you would need to ensure that is the PUID of the docker user and then for each folder, plex for instance you can run “sudo chown -R 1001:1001 ./plex” and “sudo chmod-R 755 ./plex” which is change ownership and changes permissions for that directory.

I miss my nas.
This isn’t likely to work without some whack a mole with errors though but it should be enough for someone curious enough to be able to get a working solution.
My NAS currently has a sole 10TB HDD and funds are too low to justify an additional one so I am very nervous.

Another peak FLOSS.
Actually, Audacity lost this status when Muse Group bought it out. There was a huge community fuss over this especially in /r/Audacity when the company started adding data-tracking to it, and the protests eventually died down because they just kept muscling through their decision like Reddit did with its changes.
I still use Audacity, to be fair, but may consider Ardour that another user mentioned here…
deleted by creator
Audacity: free, robust audio editing/effects tool. Not a proper DAW but so feature rich some people treat it like one. Another peak FLOSS.
If you need what I understand to be considered a full-on DAW, there’s Ardour, which is also FLOSS.

Back in the windows 7 days we were sitting at Christmas lunch and my dickhead cousin started bragging about all the different video playing apps he used, without looking up from his lunch my grandpa goes “I only use one, vlc, only an idiot would use anything else.”, then continued eating without looking up, my cousin looked shitty and I just left to go laugh outside.
deleted by creator
I don’t care if you believe me or not that’s your business, my cousin is an arrogant asshole, the type to bring his house plans to Christmas lunch and spread them where we’re about to eat lunch while standing there demanding people admire his shitty house and my grandpa doesn’t give a shit. When he retired in the 90s he got into building computers which lead him to piracy, he introduced me to piracy and is why I’m the pirate I am now.
deleted by creator
It was random af, he’s usually a chill quiet dude lol.
We used to have family pirate nights where we’d visit the video store, rent out all the games we could, go home burn copies of them all, take them back the same day and grab more, they didn’t know or care. I’ve taken over his role now and now I set up pirate streaming apps for my family.

Pi hole
Does a pi hole combine with a VPN? I assume the pi hole can’t see what’s in the VPN traffic and therefore can’t block anything?
You could have the vpn daemon running on the pihole itself rather than on connected devices.
Your neighbor’s trash. It’s stunning what I find and fix, refurbish, repurpose or sell. Had a friend that used to cruise her hood on trash day, her and her husband would load the truck, sell it back to 'em on a Saturday garage sale. 12-14 hours biweekly work, ~$400 every other weekend.
My wife’s friends dumpster dive at Walmart, though I question how that’s possible. Most big box stores make that impossible. Dunno. In any case, it’s wild what these stores chunk out. If Lowe’s would let me, I’d haul home a pickup full every week.
On that note, never bring back mattresses, anything upholstered, or anything else that has a lot of unsealed cracks/gaps. Way too big a risk of introducing bed bugs into your home.
So many people just dump seemingly nice mattresses/sofas etc. out on the curb. They’re obviously not going to label these things as infested with bed bugs for a scavenger’s benefit and alert the whole neighborhood to their shame. Do not take these items. It is not worth the potential nightmare you’re setting yourself up for.
I have a pro tip for mattresses! Thrown it down in your driveway, take a box knife and strip it to the bare metal springs. Boom! You now have a plant trellis. First try only took me 20 minutes.
Saw a posh resale store that took twin mattress springs, sprayed ‘em black, hung vertically and spaced 2’ apart over a standing flower bed. Now sure what the plant was but it sure looked cool.
Trying it for the first time this year on the ferns and blackberries on the side of the house. Already have a solid start!
People think I’m some sort of TV repair wizard but it’s very easy to fix up dumpster TVs if you have a little patience and space. Broken TVs fall into two categories - broken screen or broken board (doesn’t turn on, error screens, flickering). Stick to more popular models and when you find a broken screen, take the board and note the model. When you find a broken board of the same model, just swap it. It usually really is that easy. You can work in the opposite direction too and collect good screens waiting for good boards, but that starts to take up a lot of space quick because you’re storing whole TVs at that point.
You will also inexplicably find a fully working 55" TV sitting at the dumpster 10% of the time.
My 55" was thrown out by a neighbor, power issues. $8 in eBay capacitors fixed it, but I did something wrong and shorted it while hanging, lost the magic smoke.
Fine. For $60 I got a new board off eBay. Still have a unit in my bedroom waiting to fix.

What3words.com and app
Basically the earth has been segragated into 10 foot x 10 foot squares that are easily identified by 3 words, super accurate, easy to tell emergency services. No more need to know lat/long to tell someone where you’re at.
I learned about this from a can of ///Fear.Movie.Lions beer from Stone Brewing:
What 3 words pinpoint where this indelible beast was born? The location is printed on the can. There’s a 3m x 3m square in our Richmond, VA brewery with these three words painted on it. What three words? Exactly! For the uninitiated, that’s What3Words.
Where on earth is “fuck shit piss”?
unfortunately the people at What3Words excluded words people might find offensive from the word list, so that place does not exist
So I guess “musk impregnates influencers” would be OK? Even though that’s a lot more offensive IMHO …
I just looked it up, and apparently “impregnate” isn’t in the list either. Yes, the word isn’t offensive by itself, but I think they remove quite a lot of words that might cause problems in the what3words address. There is way more than enough words anyway.
This is from their FAQ:
How do you handle offensive words?
A what3words address is made up of 3 random words, and they are not intended to convey any meaning to a location. However, we know that the nature of using words means that unexpected interpretations can crop up.
For each new what3words language, our team consults a broad range of native speakers. We then work together to remove rude and offensive words from our word lists, navigating cultural sensitivities wherever we can.
Some users feel that certain words in our lists are unsuitable or inappropriate, so we always take feedback onboard. However, one of our key features – that our addresses are permanently fixed – means that it is not possible to update the word list. Instead, we can look for opportunities to adapt our approach when developing future languages.
Tip: if you’d rather avoid a certain what3words address because of a particular word or combination of words, we’d suggest you use the next square along.

lichess.org is a fantastic online chess platform for players of all skill levels. it’s free and—what’s more–it’s ad-free (unlike the parasitic organisation that’s squatting on the chess.com domain).
it has one-on-one on-demand match-ups, tournaments, puzzles, user-published training courses, multiple chess variants, and so much more.
it’s one of only two online resources to which i deem donating regularly worthwhile (the other being wikipedia).
do check it out. chess is one really healthy mental habit to inculcate.
Lichess may be the best board game software for any board game ever. It’s that good.
They should branch out!! Does it support anything other than chess?
um, chess 960? lol
Hmm… I think I’d prefer that, yeah!
does lemmy have a chess community? I’m so tired of chess reddit. reddit is all Hans Nieman fan boys, because of course they are. I’m so tired of looking for chess conversations and hearing about how white males are oppressed
I’m subbed to anarchychess which is probably the largest chess related community on lemmy I don’t even play chess with any regularity :>
It’s all shitposts about chess but still pretty amusing nonetheless.
I find the dynamics of lichess.org vs chess.com very interesting.
They are similar in terms of features. Both have decent interfaces, puzzles, matchmaking, live viewing boards and broadcasts for tournaments, training programs, etc. But chess.com has ads, and features locked behind subscription paywalls where lichess.org does not. (Everything is free on lichess, except for the little logo next to a user’s name to say they have supported the site with donations.)
But on the other hand, chess.com seems to have a higher number pro players; and probably a larger number of players overall.
I think its very interesting to think about why that is the case. Why would more people choose the version that is more expensive, but does not have more features?
I’ve thought of a few reasons, but I think probably the biggest effect is that chess.com has more money to splash around (because it sells ads, and asks for user subscriptions), and it uses big chunk of this money to advertise itself. eg. by sponsoring players and streamers, offering larger prizes for its own tournaments; etc.
And although I definitely think lichess is better, since it is generously supplying a high-quality product without trying to self-enrich, I do sometimes think maybe what chess.com is doing is ok too: in the sense that it is not only self-enriching, but also supporting the sport itself a bit by paying money to players, events, and commentators. Lichess does this too - but less of it, because they have less money.
(Note that chess.com also does some really crappy stuff, such as censoring any mention of lichess in the chat of their twitch broadcasts. That definitely does not help support the sport.)
Why would more people choose the version that is more expensive, but does not have more features?
It’s chess.com. We are the tech-savvy Lemmy weirdos who dig around for alternatives. I’d put my money on people just literally not knowing or thinking to check for an alt.
I didn’t know lichess existed until I found an extension that opens my chess.com match review into lichess, since the review is free there.
There’s also an ego thing. Lichess starts you off at 1500 elo whereas I think chesscum starts at 1000. So if you’re rated 1000 on Lichess you’re a lot worse. There’s a mentality that the better players are on Chesscum.
this of course isnt true, there’s plenty of competition and actually around the 2000-2200 elo level Lichess actually overtakes chesscum. there’s also fewer cheaters!
I definitely highly, highly recommend Lichess.
There’s a mentality that the better players are on Chesscum.
I’ve got a game coming up with my biggest rival next week. Are you saying this “Chesscum” can make me a better player? I don’t care what it is. I’ll do anything for an edge! 🥵
lol :D puzzles, prep, and calculation practice!
It’s great! Also for anyone that happens to be in the overlap of people that enjoy chess and go, and want to play go online as well, there’s online-go.com.
I don’t know that it has all the features that Lichess does, but it does have puzzles, tournaments, custom games, and so on.
cool!! thank youu
There’s also lishogi, if you want to learn that game.
LMMS - free and open source garage band. It’s a little weird on how you do a song, but it’s pretty great.
Tips: Look at Beats and Baselines Editor and Piano Roll Editor first to probably get you where you want to be.
And if you need some free virtual instruments, Plugins4Free and Vital.
Wow, this thread came to me with perfect timing. I love LMMS and I’ll try out this plugins on Monday, thanks.
I’m currently going through this thread and found 3 other sites that are amazing and solved some project issues I was having.
Oh, glad to help! Any other music tools you’re looking for? I’m not good with any of them, but I like testing them out. I’m still just learning and experimenting.
I get a little sad when I don’t see anything new for me on threads like this, but then I’m a bit grateful since that means I’ve already spent a long time enjoying all these things!
I’ve been playing with it since my last comment. I just installed 8 plugins. There are 3 that are so freaking good.
My only wish is there was a way to make a song like in Garage band, where you can overlap the instruments and loops more easily. I think it’s there, but I’m just not good enough at it yet. When I play with the piano, I get a really good sounding melody, but then it’s gone.
Sort of, I found that portion. Here is my workflow in Garage Band.
- Pick loop and sound speed (has a ticker before it starts), and place on timeline
- Add instruments and play with melodies from a keyboard plugged in and record them.
- Use the melody.
- Record some vocals
- Add more layers of sounds or loops
- Create file
This takes about 4 hours to make an opening song that I usually love.
In LMMS
- I can find some loops, but they seem to really point towards making your own, or maybe there are some loop vaults somewhere I could use?
- I found some amazing instruments on the plugins4free site, but recording them with a keyboard seems hard somehow.
- I have the studio (paid) version of Davinci Resolve, I guess I could just switch over there once I’ve made my loops?
The rest seems easy and I like the set up.
Gotcha, now I have a better idea of what you’re trying to do.
Watching this video about looping in LMMS shows it can sorta be done, sometimes with some help from Audacity.
If you’re adding in more stuff like VST plugins and vocals, you may want to try out Waveform Free, which I checked is for iOS also, so you get a full modern DAW. It’s the same product as their paid full version, just like 2 updates behind.
For more premade loops, check out Looperman if you haven’t already.
It’s not free, but I think I under $20 for the program and all the upgrades, if looping and sampling is something you want to focus on, check out Koala Sampler. I downloaded it the other week and have been sampling vinyl recordings from YouTube, it has an AI stem extractor to separate the instrument tracks, and then chopping and looping that.
It has a built in simple synth now as well, and you can use a midi controller with it. Lots of videos are out there if you want to see how that works. You might be able to incorporate that into your setup.
If you want to do any loop and sample work FOSS style, then I’d highly highly recommend Bespoke Synth, easily the best FOSS modular DAW out there
It has a bit of a learning curve, but once you’re over it then it’s a pleasure to use and easily the best open source DAW I’ve used so far (and I’ve tried alot)
Biggest thing it has over LMMS: VST3 support, so you can actually use modern synth plugins like Surge XT, or dynamic EQ plugins like ZL Equalizer, or lo-fi plugins like CHOW Tape and MAIM
Although, there is a FOSS workout to get VST3 working in LMMS using KV Element, which you can load as a VST2 that itself can run VST3’s.
I use to use that before Bespoke but it was very much a workaround, and I had this infuriating annoyance where KV Element would just send pitch-wheel signals to everything and detune my synths without me knowing, and I could not find any reason or fix, so I just stopped using LMMS in favor of Bespoke
Hope this helped!!!
Wow, I was wanting to get into composing for fun and i saw this great comment :D never knew Mr. Superbowl would help me with this :-)
I do have some other hobbies! 😁
If you’re looking for instruments, effects, etc, the YouTube channel elektronickmusick demos a few each day and many are free or free trials and they run the same midday track through all of them to give you an indeed what they sound like.
I don’t think they’re the best demos because it’s a generic track through all of them, not necessarily something that fits perfect with each unique instrument’s strengths, but it gives you some ideas of the sound before you search for it, download it, and find out it’s not for you.
If you want some nifty and weird sounds with fun back stories, David Hilowitz searches out obscure old instruments, fixes them, and samples them in his Decent Sampler plugin and rotates giving away different ones for free.
I’m still really bad at making my own music, but I like experimenting while I’m learning to do better.
I do have some other hobbies! 😁
I don’t believe you… I fully believe you spend most of your day looking at owl pictures!
Thanks for the recommendations :D I’m not dedicated to it at all, but i think it would be fun to try. Bookmarking your comments for later :)
As hard as it may be to imagine, I feel I’ve been getting a bit behind from where I’d like to be with owl stuff. With so many owl babies right now, it’s been hard to get some of the variety I’d like, and between being sick and depressed, it’s hard for me to focus on owls or music the way I’d like.
But between all those links I’ve shared, you should have years worth of experimentation ahead of you. I hope you find lots of good stuff.
:C I’m sorry to hear about your irl affairs. Unfortunately going through some stuff too, but i hope you’re doing okay. I’d rather you be healthy than have superbowl :) anyways, thank you for the links <3
I’m sure a good deal of it is just that like being lazy and complaining. 😁
I got some good posts added to the queue today and planted some more stuff in my container garden and made some bread, so now to clean dishes and laundry and try to focus on some piano.
I think I’ve been lost since the gf has gone to a very fluctuating schedule, as it really throws off my routines. It’s like if the sun came out at a different time every day. There’s still the same amount of time and opportunity to do stuff, but you’d feel off after a while doing stuff at what feels like the wrong time of day. I dunno. I’m weird. 😝
Free Office Suite which is excellent for personal use. If you are on mobile Collabora Office if you want an Android/iOS version
I’ve been using it for over a decade. Prior to that I used open office but it quickly became clear Openoffice couldn’t match the development of LibreOffice. There is no concrete reason to buy microsoft’s bloated ever changing garbage.
OnlyOffice is even better in several ways.
It’s Russian software so yeah… 🤢
wow thanks! I haven’t been able to use LibreOffice as it is hands down one of the ugliest pieces of software I’ve looked at, and despite retrying for years, I genuinely could not tolerate it. OnlyOffice looks so great!
I hear you. It’a almost as bad as Gimp vs Krita.
It’s also worse in that they hide the fact it’s made in Russia.
Thank you dear sire! I was finally able to find a good source of the anime Heidi
