I really like Audiobookshelf for audiobooks.

But it breaks my brain that it still hasn't implemented some sort of automatic queueing of new podcast episodes. Every time you finish a podcast episode, you need to manually go into the app and find the next episode to play. Not ideal for when you're driving...

Personally, my ISP (T-Mobile 5G) has CGNAT and blocks all incoming traffic. I can't simply Wireguard into my network. Tailscale has been my intermediary to get remote access.

I guess it's time to figure how how to host an alternative on a VPS (I see Headscale mentioned in these comments).

You see the screenshot.

I knew WB's HD-DVDs (remember those?) were a timebomb. I didn't realize regular DVDs were, too.

I've always used Transmission, since there's a Docker container I use that bakes in your VPN-of-choice & a killswitch.

That said, it looks like it hasn't been updated in over a year... I wonder if there's anything else out there that does the same thing as this. (EDIT: Yes. Google brings up plenty of choices.)

This is an EVEN BIGGER opportunity than AMD had with Intel to have a "Ryzen moment".

With trash uplifts (5070 may not even beat the 4070Super) and blatantly swapping of the names of their GPUs (the 5080 is XX70-level hardware -- at best).... Nvidia has effectively doubled the price of GPUs in a few short years.

If AMD decided to finally not just-follow-Nvidia, I would RUN to buy a $550-600 RX9070XT with RTX5080 performance.

"$550-600? That's unrealistic, Brad, you fuckin' idiot!"

Fuck off. $1,000 RTX5080 performance is twice what the $500 two-gens-old RTX3070 had. And also....

  • The $599 RTX4070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $499 RTX2070 Super
  • The $499 RTX3070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $379 GTX1070
  • The $499 RTX2070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $329 GTX970
  • The $379 GTX1070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $399 GTX770

The sad truth is that the vast majority of people WANT an algorithm to tell them what they like.

Mastodon requires you to actually have your own opinions going in, and follow material based on that.

My concern is basically the usual "Nvidia hates Linux".

Also:

Nvidia GPUs are currently in beta with major caveats

Seriously considering a switch to Bazzite on my actual gaming PC.

Me having a RTX3070 is holding me back, though. Maybe AMD will have a decent, not-too-stupidly-expensive card in the 9070XT. Really don't want to spend more than $500-600 on a GPU. And I really don't want to replace it until I can get something with at least twice the performance.
