Audiobookshelf and LL are it. Or calibre automation but it sucks.

Which Distros Are Doing Best Currently? in c/linux@programming.dev

Still using a mix of Debian and Ubuntu.

I tried openSUSE but didn't like it compared to Ubuntu desktop.

I'd rather read your thoughts and recommendations than not. Hit me with your favourite hard scifi.

Ill look into Red shirts in the mean time Ty.

Net boot ftw, no sd card necessary.

This. Even a cheap alibaba n100 would be way better on Power than pretty much any laptop.

Damn, I've got my wife at least using it on our Shield for the TV when putting stuff on for the kids.

The shitty part is taking features people already had access to and locking them away all while spying on you.

Nothing wrong with that on ad block. Intro them to pipepipe if they watch it mostly on mobile.

Here is a scraper I made for downloading my kids daycare photos from the Storypark app (github.com)

I had a problem, my wife wanted to be able to download all the images of our kids from Storypark so that we can add them to our Immich instance. To download them you had to in the app or website click open each image then go through the menu to download. Because we have 2 kids that could be upwards of 60 photos.

Being someone that works in the automation field, I couldn't have such a clunky process for photos sent to us daily.

Initially I built a quick an dirty script that opens the current page but then I thought why not expand it to not only get the images but all of the posts that have not been downloaded yet. Then I had the idea of updating the EXIF data so that Immich can put the images on the correct date.

I run a lot of docker containers so next step was to enable me to run this on my own NAS and have it save the files directly to where Immich is looking and here we are. I realised other parents could use this so I've cleaned up my code and put it up for others to use.

Hopefully those other parents with RSI will appreciate the script. You can run it locally or in docker.

Next phase will be to have it find the images with my kids and archive the ones without their faces for review.

I'm normally a bit more of a hard scifi reader with the likes of Bobiverse and Expanse (and Andy Weir/Thaichovsky/IanMBanks/Herbert etc) but I really enjoyed this humerous take on a rogue cyborg.

Is there anything out there in this vane I should look into?

I'm running a website that is getting a lot of bot traffic and found Cloudflare free rule tier to be a bit limiting. (5 custom rules with length limits)

Ive got subnets for major VPS providers to block and will run analysis against my traffic to build on these lists.

What do others do?

I'm contemplating my Cloudflared tunnel into Crowdsec to my app.

Edit: Adding in image of my analysis of the IPs scanning for vulnerabilities.

I found this while starting to build out my own wrapper. Stopped and knew I had to share.
