I've heard rumors that they do play well together, but that's people running it in docker with a "read-only" flag set for the content folder, with metadata saved in the config folder

I've used the Jellyfin app to listen to audio books, but for my purposes, it's easier to run the separate client/server Audiobookshelf.

I remember playing Blue so much as a kid, I would hear the MIDI based music whenever I closed my eyes.

So glad we finally have the room on the carts for different music for each region/dungeon/route, but there something quaint about only having a half-dozen musical bits per game.

I've noticed lately that I have to tick a "I trust this app" check box and hit "Accept" in order for the password manager to auto-fill my timesheet app. Why add two extra clicks, with no ability to permanently say "I trust this fucking app, you bastards"...

This is the way

Yeah, even Googles own operating system.

I was trying to see if I could sync my entire Calibre ebook library to my kobo, so i googled it. The dumbass AI result told me to hit the "sync library" button, that doesn't friggin exist...

Dang, I just realized I didn't explain the setup well enough:

An old laptop runs the Jellyfin server, but the Pi runs the reverse proxy. For some reason, trying to use the reverse proxied address causes problems, but connecting directly to the laptop via IP address and port runs fine.

I tried a Jellyfin server with a pi 2 or 3 and it couldn't serve more than one client at a time. So i imagine a zero wouldn't even be able to load the app, much less serve anything :/

My main reason for running my DNS/ad block/nginx through the zero, sometimes the laptop goes down, freezes, or fails to clear the transcodes folder, so having that stuff separate keeps at least part of the network running.

Revelation space by Alistair Reynolds

I listened to the audio book, but the book changes perspective so fast and often that the audiobook is hard to fully digest. Reading the prose form has me picking up on entire plotlines that I zoned out with in the audio version.

Would recommend if you're into hard sci-fi. No warp drives, FTL comms and so far the only aliens are extinct (minor spoiler until page 2).

Ha! I memorized those numbers years ago... I may have a problem...

If I trusted the battery tech more, I would use an old phone. But I've had one of those white plastic Mac books hooked up to power so long, the battery swelled out of its enclosure :/

Maybe there's a way to disconnect the battery, or an app that switches off charging, so it drains enough to keep that from happening

Oh nice! I'd love to run an ad blocker/dns/reverse proxy on something with a little more beef than the Pi zero I've got now.

Jellyfin and or Pi zero does not like streaming through the video.local address I've got setup, so i have to use IP address to get anything without stuttering.

I used to develop ads (non intrusive things for home depot or go RVing) and i used ad blockers. When testing, i would just run private browsing with plugins disabled...
