I think they're saying they've already signed into a Google account, downloaded play store apps, and set everything up. Afterwards, they have disconnected the Chromecast from the internet and successfully continued to access their self hosted content.

Oh! Appreciate the tip. I'll investigate this weekend

No worries! I've used the calibre app for ebooks in the past and it does quite well.

I use the Audiobookshelf app from AdvPlyr on the play store. I've been meaning to try Lissen since it's on F-Droid, but I tried this to make sure my partner didn't have any issues.

If I'm using it on my PC I just connect to the web UI.

I connect on all my devices with tailscale. My partner uses the same but has apparently been having issues with her phone not being able to access the tailnet when not on the same LAN. It's not so bad though, the Audiobookshelf app lets her download her books. This works better anyway, since she travels for work and often has no service anyway.

I use abs and it's great. My partner listens to audiobooks, I read ebooks. You just have them side by side in the library, and in the audiobookshelf android app you can choose between stream or read. You also don't need to store them side by side, the metadata can put them together clientside anyway. I guess this would be the way to go if you thought you might try a diff ebook hosting service later.

If all you do with your ebooks is read them, I daresay you'll have no issues because I haven't. Supports volume controls for page turn and that's all that I want.

Honestly? Take a solid chunk of the credit. An idea is only as good as the pitch when the person on the other side has to sift through x^2 applications.

Sure, discourse I've read on social media has encouraged me to go and do further reading and educate myself. You got me?

I'm on 269 on Android 14 and I get this problem too. My accounts are on two diff instances, but it also happens if I go to switch accounts and pick the account I'm already on.

Second Baikal, I'm using docker on nixos through compose2nix and it's great for syncing both my calendar and my tasks.org todo lists. Crazy easy to setup as well.

I believe there are significant downsides to AI because of my understanding, not because the internet has told me to. The flip side of this conversation is people who do not understand, or choose to downplay, the downsides and who inflate the benefits through ignorance or vested interest. Of course all change has to be balanced against both good and bad consequences but to me it reads as though you are discounting valid criticism of AI as groupthink, when just as much happens in the opposite direction.

Generative AI in different forms is more than just a poor quality tool. Image generators are being used to create fair pornography of real people. People are replacing actual mental health techniques with ChatGPT reaffirming every single one of their internal biases and making their problems worse. Employers are using metric shit tons of natural resources to generate "no you can't take the day off" emails, and people are generating AI summaries of AI generated presentations and saying they've learned something.

And if the human impact doesn't appeal to you, all the financial capital being poured into NVidia and OpenAI and all of this other rubbish could be solving real problems.

Not nobara related but I found a Linux Mint thread about using xinput to adjust config to have left handed mode enabled for 1 mouse but not another. Maybe that will help. If they're wireless mice with dongles, maybe they're struggling in that one mouse is connecting to both receivers? If they offer both bt and wifi pairing you might be able to get around it by manipulating that, or if they can be plugged in that might help.

 

This is poetry. I believe in us

 

you fuckers are all over my active feed and I'm laughing at shit I don't understand. I refuse to believe the show is this funny, but if, say, a friend wanted to prove me wrong, what incarnation of star trek would they tell me to start from? especially if they knew I hadn't seen a single episode.
