r/algeria

I talked to my father about living alone by myself and he freaked out saying that only people who have something to hide live alone and he noticed some changes on me and quite a lot what caught my attention is him saying that this is is against traditional family and putting the relation between living with family and religion,look I think he wants me to be responsible for my younger siblings since they are quite a lot and he can't handle all of them at once if u asked about their mother's yeah they are not well educated and they're not raised right Soo am actually in charge of responsibility that I am not obligated to

How do we stop whatever this is called between men hating women and not wanting them to have any kind of rights and people giving excuses to criminals and to men who harass/rape and to pédos.

Examples from this week alone :

1_With the bem exam videos spreading i have seen millions of comments about people saying disgusting things about 14yold girls and almost everyone is agreeing and laughing with them even women which is even more disgusting like why would u do that to another girl .

2_ the video with the guy (he has some kind of illness) talking about how he will rape any girl if he have the chance to no matter how old is she even if its baby as long as there's a hole (sorry for this language) , a woman made a video responding to him and warning people from him and guess what the people in the comments were saying? Yep defending him telling her she's acting like she's an angel and to leave him alone he's only talking he won't do anything not knowing that who's not afraid to say something like that publicly probably isn't afraid of doing it especially after the support and excuses the people are giving him and yes even women agreed saying leave him alone yeah leave him alone to rape women like u.

I want ur view on this especially on why women feel like it's okay to do it even tho its literally a crime against them and them agreeing won't make them any less of a victim of this, and what do we do to help stop this from spreading any further in the society ?

Yo guys, I’m 19 and thinking about moving to France to continue my studies. I kinda want to hear opinions from people who already did something similar.
The thing is, I’m also the eldest son in my family, so it feels like a big responsibility and I keep overthinking whether leaving is the right move or not.

Do you think moving abroad at this age is worth it? How hard was it for you socially, financially, mentally, etc.? Any advice is appreciated.

I swear some Algerians living abroad act like they’re entering an “expedition” into an unknown land when they visit Algeria, not their own country
They get shocked because we have malls, nice cafés, restaurants, large stadiums, universities, delivery apps, and people dressing normally and living regular lives.
The funniest part is their reactions:
“Wow, you have this here?”
“I didn’t expect Algeria to look like this.”

Like… what exactly were you expecting? People chasing sheep in the streets?
Some of them seriously built their entire image of Algeria from old videos or negative news, as if the whole country is just an empty desert with no civilization or modern life.

Of course Algeria has problems, and no Algerian denies that. But the level of shock over completely normal things really shows how weird and outdated some people’s perception of the country is. Especially when they’re surprised by things that already exist in most countries around the world.

I wanna start doing some graffiti but I can’t really find any spray paints or caps I barely find some black black and white

we’re building Harfan Harfan, a platform for underground Arab music.

artists and listeners can sign up, add artist profiles, songs, lyrics, catalogues, and help document scenes that are usually scattered across links, posts, and memory.

the goal is to make underground arab music easier to find, understand, and return to.

السلام عليكم

جماعة، حبيت نشارك معاكم حاجة راهي مقلقتني بزاف ونشوف إذا كاين ناس فاتو بنفس الشي ولا عندهم نصائح واقعية.

أنا عمري 28 داخل على 29 مسلم. الحمد لله نصلي ونصوم كيما أي شخص عادي، حتى ولو الخشوع تاعي ماشي دايمًا مليح.

المشكل تاعي هو الموسيقى. من صغري وأنا نسمع، بصح من2010 تقريبًا وليت obsessed بزاف خاصة مع pop music بعدما بديت نسمع , Katy Pery et Justin Bieber. ومن بعد دخلت فـ rap, rai, western, français, شرقي … كلش تقريبًا.

الموسيقى ولات جزء من حياتي بطريقة مبالغ فيها. نسمع كي نوض، فالطريق، فالخدمة، فالدار، كي نطبخ، كي نغسل، حتى فالدوش ولا مرات حتى فالطواليط. كي نغضب ولا نتقلق، الموسيقى تهديني بطريقة غريبة. مرات نحس روحي “سكران” بالإحساس تاعها من كثرة ما نندمج.

كي يخرج album ولا song جديدة تعجبني نولي obsessed بيها بشكل كبير ونبقى نعاود فيها ونفرح بزاف وأنا نسمع.

المشكل أني ما قدرتش نخفف منها مهما حاولت. وجربت بزاف حلول: • القرآن • Podcasts • دروس وخطب

بصح ما نقدرش نركز. بعد 5 دقايق مخي يروح لحوايج أخرى. وحتى كي نجبر روحي نسمع podcast ساعة كاملة فالطريق، نحس روحي غير سامع بلا ما نفهم.

بينما الموسيقى… تناسبني في أي وضعية. ضجيج، سخانة، تعب، concentration ناقص… ديما تخدم معايا.

وزيد رغم الخدمة، الرياضة، العائلة، والحياة عمومًا، نلقى روحي نسمع 3 حتى 4 ساعات يوميًا وأحيانًا أكثر.

الغريب أني ما عنديش addictions أخرى: • ما نشربش • ما ندخنش • وحتى الحوايج الأخرى نقدر نتحكم فيهم نسبيًا

بصح الموسيقى بالذات حاسها حاجة ما نقدرش نتحكم فيها.

السؤال تاعي للناس لي كانو هكدا: • كيفاش تعاملتو مع الموضوع؟ • واش درتو باش تنقصو التعلق؟ • وواش تديرو أصلاً كي تكونو وحدكم فالدار؟

يعني بصراحة أنا ما نقدرش نتصور نطبخ ولا نسوق ولا ننظف بلا headphones.

ومهم: من فضلكم ما تقولوليش “اسمع قرآن ولا podcasts” فقط، خاطر جربتها عشرات المرات وما نفعتنيش.

نحب نصائح واقعية من ناس يفهمو الاحساس هذا . :::

اقصد مؤثر جزائري صح يستاهل متابعة و تديرو قدوة ليك ، مشي صانع محتوى برك

مثلا الشاب انس (بولحية) واش رايكم فيه

I want to know the experience of Black Algerians living in Algeria how do you feel about the N-word?

Do you know the history of this word?

Does it affect you negatively? Do you care at all? I want to know your opinion and feelings on it.

Thanks.

First of all, shoutout to this sub because half the posts here are what gave me the idea 😭

But genuinely, I started a small support group and this week’s topic is toxic/narcissistic parents. I know a lot of us come here to rant because dealing with that stuff is exhausting and isolating.

So if anyone feels like talking, venting, sharing experiences, or just listening and feeling less alone for a bit, you’re welcome to join 😊

I made a lot of Algerian online friends recently and one thing I noticed is that many people now naturally mix Darija with English, or even speak fully in English between Algerians. Meanwhile older generations seemed much more connected to French.

Another thing I noticed is that a surprisingly big number of Algerian Reddit users seem to be from western Algeria. Maybe cities like Oran and Tlemcen are more present online? Or maybe it’s just my own experience.

Do you agree with these observations or is it just the type of people Reddit attracts in Algeria?

As I got bit by the homelab bug this past year I started replacing almost everything with self-hosted alternatives!

I am curious how many are into this?

I have a home server setup with DDNS (since I am not paying AT for a static IP)

Running docker on Ubuntu 24.04LTS on my main

And a NAS running on TrueNAS

I am running:

- Immich (Google photos replacement)

- ollama (local ai models using Qweb and Deepseek)

- n8n (for automating almost ANYTHING, mainly sending me SMS/telegram messages for when the water tank is full or if a water leak is detected at home)

- Sterling PDF (for all pdf tools you can think of)

- Skysend (WeTransfer replacement)

- Owncloud (Google Drive replacement)

- Paperless (Document scanning / Organizing tool)

- Stremio server + Torrentio (For watching movies/series and using my fiber to buffer the movie even if I am on LTE remotely)

- Wireguard (a VPN server, used for connected to my local network remotely + to play LAN games over the internet with friends)

- Nginx (reverse proxy to access my applications through https)

- searxng (Google Search/Bing replacement that allows me completely private search without the ads and tracking)

- KASM (running virtual machines that I can access through the browser from anywhere)

- Zero byte ( Automated file backup tool that even handles versioning)

- Pi-hole (Adblock for my entire home network )
