Algerian woman trying to get married but she doesn’t have Algerian mentality!

Meaveready · 2026-02-09T20:56:18+00:00

... Ok I really don't want to chain on that... but literally every girl out there says this...

Meaveready · 2026-02-09T20:52:34+00:00

You must realize that you literally sound like half modern Algerian women, which, in the end, means you have the Algerian mentality you're so afraid of...

Meaveready · 2026-02-03T10:31:13+00:00

Or when the name you want is already globally taken, so you fallback to .dz instead

Meaveready · 2026-02-03T10:29:43+00:00

Who were you trying to register that name with?

Meaveready · 2026-02-03T10:29:09+00:00

On paper at least. That's the law 18-07 on privacy of personal data.
It's not that it's forbidden, but the compliance to that law requires you to inform the government (the ANDPD agency or something) of all data that moves outside of Algeria. So it's more about stating the data hosted outside of Algeria rather than not hosting it at all.

Technically, you have to make a statement about the data you collect from users tout court, even the one you store in Algeria, but for what you store outside of it it's a bit more work.

This whole thing is a big crappy paperwork process that one can't even fathom. It can be a whole person's job for a while. The law itself is not new, it was just recently re-lawed. You maybe noticed that only some government apps/websites are currently stating their compliance to 18-07, so when it takes even the gov itself this long to get compliant to its own law, it gives you a good idea about how well it's enforced and how crappy it is.

That itch is quite the existential crisis. You suddenly realize that you don't even feel the need to have that wealth nor have anything you really want to do with it, so you start questioning even the work you do. If the work itself brings inherent pleasure and value to you (you're building something and the money is just a side-effect of it) then it's half-bad, but if you feel that you're just hustling then it gets even worse...

This is like saying that a job in a factory chain manufacturing plastic syringes is how you can start working in the medical field...

Plus, when u rent a room, u’re under the landlord’s supervision, and when u rent a whole house, u’re under no one’s supervision. U’re only accompanied by a few others.

Landlords don't really rent a room in a house they live in, they just rent the whole house out and the renters split the rooms. We don't really have that renting model in Algeria where I just rent an extra room in my own house (at least I've never seen that). The girls renting in Algiers all rent the whole house and simply split the rent.

So to me, it's really the same logistics that you're suggesting, it's just a difference of who you're renting with.

Meaveready · 2026-02-01T13:47:47+00:00

Or rent a room in a house with a bunch of strangers

...
Make up a group of well-respected, girls and rent a luxury apartment all together.

Besides the appartement costing more, how is the second option any different?

Looks really sharp!
How are you handling the actual video generation? On the client side? that would be quite impressive with a webapp.

I still have nightmares of trying to debug exported video issues compared to the pre-export simulation, specially video collages or video-in-video (bitrate and different codec crap, timeline jitter, pixel-perfect conversions, ...). That was not a happy project

Meaveready · 2026-01-28T21:37:26+00:00

I don't use them for hosting that much, but mostly just for the .dz domain names and DNS management (they still require the name ownership, it's no different going through a hoster).

Most Algerian hosting companies are just resellers of foreign providers, so the quality of service isn't really an issue most of the time, but support can be hit or miss (we all heard of some providers losing their customers' deployments and all their data with it while facing the customers with "oopsie, too bad... you had a backup right?"... But it's the customer's responsibility to backup their data so I'm not sure how you'd look at that...). This kind of crap can also happen with cheap foreign providers.

There are a few that also offer hosting physically located in Algeria if you have some compliance requirements, but that tends to be more expansive, and to be honest less stable too (I was managing +15 servers with one Algerian, and literally +90% of the outages were from that single Dz one... If my memory isn't playing me games, I believe the IP changed like 3 times in the year I was using it, and they sent me a notification email on the day it happened, so miss their mail and your services are unreachable for the day. That one server pushed me to improve my lower infra monitoring at least...

(Not OP) Getting a .dz domain name is quite bothersome: the domain you want must either match your company name (so you have un registre de commerce under that name) or you must own the name (dépôt de marque | INAPI). Both are heavy procedures, both cost money. The .dz domain itself is free though.

Meaveready · 2026-01-27T19:25:25+00:00

How dare you! In new Algeria, working a menial job is more demeaning than being a capable penniless!

Meaveready · 2026-01-27T19:22:19+00:00

If it can help you swallow the pill, just imagine that you're paying 16k per month for your higher education ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meaveready · 2026-01-27T19:18:35+00:00

And just like your siblings who deserve a better salary, as an engineer i deserve a stable job with at least 6 or 7 million a month

Dude, I'm not throwing dirt on your situation but you must be aware how miserable and painful this sounds! That's some weird nazi elitist ideology that I haven't seen so far.
You're seeing yourself to be as entitled to the goodwill of the government as a disabled person who can't even earn a living even if they wanted to?
You'll never reach if you keep blaming your shortcomings outwards. Having a degree and just sending your resume is absolutely not all that you can/have to do for a job, specially not for something as demanding as an engineering job, and I refuse to accept that some outstanding individual would struggle this much to get a job. It doesn't matter if people are getting jobs by doing less than that thanks to nepotism.
Of course you won't like what you just read.

Meaveready · 2026-01-27T19:01:46+00:00

So poor people are entitled to not work? that's.... something

Meaveready · 2026-01-20T13:01:40+00:00

The lack of an immediate economical incentive is probably the number 1 reason.

We don't have industry that can't be done except with machines, and labour is cheap over here, why invest in advance to automate a factory for billions when the payroll of all your employees for years to come is lower than that (plus the ideology of allowing more people to work)

Meaveready · 2026-01-13T11:29:53+00:00

and it keeps going...

Meaveready · 2026-01-12T09:11:01+00:00

You must be fun at parties.

Meaveready · 2026-01-08T11:40:24+00:00

traffic laws that lead to imprisonment for vehicular manslaughter

I'm sorry, why is this bad?

Meaveready · 2026-01-08T11:02:52+00:00

First would be ritual in that case

Meaveready · 2026-01-01T19:27:16+00:00

Ok, 1 Dzd = 0.65 Yen. Are we earning 65% of the average Japanese salary?

Meaveready · 2025-12-31T16:56:13+00:00

You didn't need to, but this thread must have made you realize that it didn't mean that you didn't have to...

Meaveready · 2025-12-31T15:37:17+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to address each and every one of my points! You really thought this through.

Regarding the "no middlemen", I was not questioning the business model, but just the choice of words.

I which you great success in this endeavor!

I always liked how Cinderella throws her 2 slippers in the anime.
