Also, love this type of thread. My favorite thing about lemmy has been making it my music discovery engine. I’ve bookmarked this thread to check out everything everyone else is listening to.

Demons by Allison Russell. Honestly, I’m obsessed with the whole album, but this track in particular has me captivated.

Audiobookshelf doesn’t support OPDS, and if that’s your use case, you’re probably better off with Kavita.

I’m okay with it because I can fire up the web browser on my pocketbook ereader and download the books. It’s clunky but it works well enough for me.

I haven’t implemented it yet, but audiobookshelf does support sending ebooks to devices via email. I just haven’t bothered to get a mail server up and running for it.

Both Kavita and Audiobookshelf require a particular folder structure. Since Kavita is comics first, the folder structure for ebooks isn’t quite as intuitive, and I didn’t care for it.

I had Audiobookshelf up and running well before I spun up Kavita, so I was already used to that folder structure, and since it’s designed around books anyway, to me it makes more sense.

Regardless, as long as you use the proper folder structure for the service you land on, you should be good to go.

The other reason I went with Audiobookshelf is that to me, it made much more sense to have all of my audiobooks and ebooks under the same service. (Albeit in different libraries)

I use it for my comics, but I didn’t care for the file/folder structure it required for books, so I’m using audiobookshelf for my ebooks as well as my audiobooks.

That is awesome. Thank you so much! I’ve added them to my reading list!

I’ve been thinking about diving into rhetoric study. Do you have a suggestion as to a good book or other source for someone like me to get started?

‘Google trashes its “DRM for the Web” API for now’ should be the actual headline

It is. I used to sync mine via nextcloud, but I don’t run nextcloud on my homelab anymore, so I switched to Joplin server. Nothing wrong with nextcloud, was just not what I needed.

Joplin also supports end to end encryption on your notes, and you can self host the sync server for free sync you control.

Edit to add: you can also sync it via self hosted WebDAV (like nextcloud)

I think you’d need to sync it to the android client, rather than import it. I self host Joplin server for my sync backend, and use the app across my mobile and desk computers. I don’t love Joplin, but it’s the best self hosted, private, end to end encrypted notes app available on all platforms that I could find.

I have. I won’t buy ssds or sd cards from Amazon anymore for this exact reason. I got counterfeits twice. Once with an sd card and once with an ssd. Now I buy from B&H for stuff like that so I know I’m getting what I ordered.

I was able to return both counterfeits to Amazon so I didn’t lose any money, but I don’t want the hassle of having to test and verify shit I buy to make sure it’s what it’s supposed to be.

Edit: I try to avoid Amazon entirely, but sometimes it’s the only option.

I must be an outlier because I found the conclusion of season one to be a huge letdown. To be sure the build up was great, but that ending was so predictable and disappointing that I haven’t bothered with subsequent seasons.

Not as much of a let down as season eight of GoT, but it still tainted the whole season and show for me.

I really like using Joplin Server. For awhile I was syncing through nextcloud, but in the end nextcloud didn’t really work for me so I switched my Joplin notes over.

I also use Joplin, I self host Joplin server for the sync, with e2ee enabled. It’s been rock solid for me.
