I use Audiobookshelf as the app support is great (allows downloading offline versions and progress syncs when you reconnect to internet). This works amazingly well with my Boox Palma 2 since it runs android.
I don’t download a ton of books, so I just have some simple Python scripts for organizing the content.
I am certain this is an area my self hosted solutions lack, but still happy to share.
For me accessibility is the most important, and I have family that’s not technically savvy, so vpns/Wireguard arent great for my use case. So I use a reverse proxy to expose certain apps and have fail2ban configured to block/ban ips that misbehave. This essentially blocks people trying to guess accounts and I’ve been toying with some ratelimiting. However, as many will say, this is not a very secure system and I should monitor my local traffic more to be aware of bad actors.
At the end of the day though it’s really a battle of ease vs security. Reverse proxies provide easier access, but more risk compared to things like vpns. Also, SSH should be setup for key only (no password) and should never be exposed to the public internet (so no reverse proxy).
I’ve been tempted by things like authentik, but how does that work for things like apps and tv sticks (roku / Chromecast)? Or does it really only work for browser based applications?
It depends on how you look at it. Even before leaving for the Trojan war, he was told he would be lost on the journey home. But during the course of events trying to get home he does piss off Posiedon by blinding his son (a cyclops).
So was it fate, the gods, bad luck? I’m not sure it matters too much, but reading the story and seeing his actions, hubris (which plays a big role in a lot of Greek stories) plays a big part.

They didn’t originally, but at least in Europe they started getting some “monopolistic” threats and started to split it up. I’m not sure if they split them for all countries/markets and am too lazy to look it up right now.
Audiobookshelf, Its designed for audiobooks and its folder structure is unintuitive, but it’s got the best website and apps of all the ones I’ve tried (including kogma).
I messed around with a couple of different approaches (Calibre web, kogma, etc.), but the best all around experience I have had is Audiobookshelf. Kogma is probably better if just doing manga, but Audiobookshelf has worked the best for hosting comics/manga/ebooks. The only real annoying things is the folder structure. I’ve needed to use some scripts to reorganize/rename files so it handles them correctly.
I mean, the orgasm gap is a seperate, although related issue. The main premise of the article is that women orgasm more by themselves than with a partner. I was just saying that statement would be my baseline assumption given the reasons why people masturbate vs engage in sex.
I think the article is good, but seems to mostly just reaffirm previous findings/understanding of human sexuality.
I feel like that’s expected. I would think you’d find it similar with men too.
If your masturbating, them the goal is your own pleasure. When with a partner not, only are there other people to think about, but there is more room for things to not play out perfectly (tiring out, something throwing off the rythmn, etc.), or sometimes your own gratification isnt the focus.
Thanks for sharing. Largely just commenting to share support due to the large amount of AI hate you’re getting. This seems like a real app solving real problems (although personally I use audiobookshelf for syncing even if it’s hit or miss on actual ebooks).
Someone mentioned in a lower level reply, but Startrek and the Orville are great for political / social commentary.
I think a fair amount of sitcoms have some element of educating on social norms. Seinfeld and Its Always Sunny maybe require more prior knowledge about subject matters, but covering things like abortion, immigration, racism, etc.
Mythbusters and similar are pretty good about being “adult” science shows.
Maybe documentaries don’t really count as “entertainment” the way you’re looking for, but Planet Earth is a great series.
I also use audiobookshelf in a weird way. I use it to read Manga and comics on my phone/e-reader.
While the folder structure it uses is a bit convoluted, the UI and apps are great.
Needing to report incidents isn’t being held accountable. They’re not facing any consequences for breaking the law.
I mean, it’s obviously the company. The issue is the government doesn’t want to actually legislate and determine how you address issues where there is prison time and or licenses get revoked.
Its also not a problem, it’s an abdication of responsibility. Either the government needs to take a stance or the cars shouldn’t be on the road. Seems like instead the government is willing to risk our safety rather than take any firm stance.
They’re currently breaking the law and not being held accountable. The threat of eventually being held accountable is a step in the right direction, but the only reason they’re able to do this right now is due to money.
The fact that they weren’t being ticketed before means that we don’t even really know how bad these cars are, and yet they’ve been allowed to stay on roads with pedestrians and other cars.
I thought ACH transactions were typically free too, hence why large transactions typically use them.
Yeah, this comparison is terrible they’re purposefully putting an upper limit on price when comparing things. Not to mention that they aren’t even looking at features and range of these cars.
Someone below mentions the “Wuling Hongguang”, the top selling car in China apparently. While it’s cheap, its max speed is 62mph and it has a range around 75 miles. Like of course that’s cheap, and could work in some situations, but that’s not comparable to any car sold in the US.
The more I read into things like this the more I realize that cars are just expensive. Sure China has a wider range of options, but when comparing apples to apples things look more similar than I’d expect.
I think he’s converting everything to USD as he never says anything about Chinese Yuan. Also the cost of things seems to align with him converting the currency.
The crazy thing is he talks about the affordability, but he makes over 4x the average/median salary for the city. That would be like making $400k/year in New York City or almost $500k/year in San Fransico. Now maybe that money wouldn’t go as far in the US, but when you’re making that much money any place would seem good.
Yeah, “school uniform” can mean a lot of things. I know a lot of guys who wear slacks and a button down/polo that could be used as a uniform at school. However, there are some styles/patterns that feel uniquely school uniform.
Could you imagine having to maintain it yourself though. I mean assumming it even spits out a working version, you’ve probably introduced a ton of new bugs and potential security threats. Additionally, unlike a fork, you can’t even merge in improvements to the software.
While it’s a scary topic, in most cases you’d be shooting yourself in the foot if you incorporated anything this spits out.
Edit:spelling
The top line models require hardware that costs $100k+ to run. That’s no longer in the relam of self hosting.
The smallest models can already run on a laptop or pc anyways.
