Shit looks so fucking sexy. God damn.

Awesome. Thank you. I’m going to move them onto my nvme one season at a time and make the conversion so we don’t have to deal with the slowness of the HDD

Thank you so much. It’s literally the TV show Friends. I bought the Blu-rays for the whole 10 seasons years ago and I remember using MakeMKV app. It’s high quality because I ripped them to the highest the app allowed I remember but they take so much space that moving them around from that slow hdd I have them on takes literal hours. So, knowing what kind of show it is, what settings do you suggest?

Could you please expand on that? What do you mean?

Has anyone tried this? OP, have you? Is it fast? I have a tv show that I’ve ripped from blue-ray. It is 600GB and I wanted to save some space, but whenever I try to convert, it’s awfully slow. I have a pretty beefy setup, Ryzen 7 5800xt CPU and a 9070xt GPU.

Fully understand that. I still pay google $10 a month for 2TB storage for that reason alone.

Thank you. But Amazon will never taste a penny of my money. All of my books are downloaded from YouTube in the form of mp3 then converted to m4b.

Damn. That’s a lot of money. I actually didn’t spend anything on the hardware. I have a friend who gave me a dell optiplex he was about to throw away and a 2 bay Synology NAS with 8TB storage already on it when he upgraded. Been using them for 3 years now. The optiplex now runs Debian server, and the SynNAS is mounted to it as a mass storage for my stuff.

I do it for iPhone and iPad for my wife (and me occasionally when I use an iPad) to watch YouTube since the official app is riddled with ads and a browser isn’t a good experience for her. She’s been loving Yattee.

Self-hosting is a literal addiction. lol
I started with just an invidious instance and now I have my own audiobooks app that I’m also turning into a navidrome client. Did I say jellyfin and pihole, too?

No judgement. I just thought it was funny.

Bro, what the hell. Lmao. “Hey AI is horrible in all ways and is doing harm to the planet and people and kids, but I’ll use it regardless. Hear me I’m a good guy. I hate AI, but I’ll use it”. That’s virtu signaling, isn’t it?

Please tell me more about this forwarder thing. Right now. I have a local server that is your usual regular 192.168……:13378 then I have my books.mydomain.com and this goes through a cloudflare tunnel on its own, and is the one giving me trouble. Anymore details on the forwarder would be great

Pointing my https cloudflare domain at my local through pihole was basically just like switching servers in the app, because it still required me to switch servers. Might as well just do that. Also, by cloudflare proxy you mean the little orange cloud they have on the records in the dashboard?

For now I have been using the Android app I built to switch between local and remote very quickly. I put the menu right in the home screen so it’s just two clicks and I’m off. I’m also going to add an option in the settings to switch servers automatically based on the connected network, so it’s seamless and I won’t have to fuss with it.

I don’t use nginx for reverse proxy. But I’ve looked into it and learned something. Do you think it would solve this accidental “sleep” problem with cloudflare?

I understand this comment. AI sometimes saves a ton of mental power and time when I’m stuck on an issue. It can give some really good suggestions. Also, AI is a godsend for frontend shit. I don’t care what y’all say, I’m never touching CSS and HTML ever again. lmao.

Strictly audiobooks. Mostly for my wife because that’s all she listens to. For me, it is 90% ebook on my kobo and 10% audiobooks. Only when I’m doing something around the house or driving do I listen to an audiobook. I’ve also built my own android ABS client that I made to my liking.

Request has already been submitted to their gitlab page :)
And if they for any reason rejected it, I’ll host my own repo and then it can be added to fdroid

Setup Set up my audiobookshelf server successfully. Also, just realized that the Synology NAS that I’ve had running for a couple of years now without really using it much, can be mounted onto my Debian server, that I use a lot, as a mass storage and will work just fine. Mind blown. I now have plenty of storage after struggling for a while. Lmao.

Thank you and absolutely. And I feel even better when the people I share my work with, like it.
