Step 1. Purchase 8-10 albums from your favorite artists on Bandcamp (Bandcamp typically has flac files)

  1. Subscribe to Tidal with a VPN in a poor country for very cheap ($4).
  2. Pay for one month of one of the music migration services ($5).
  3. Use Tidal-dl to get all the FLACs your heart desires.

Honestly you can probably keep Tidal, it's cheap and good. But always download the FLAC files for anything you don't want to lose.

by exaggerating the neckbeardiness of it

 

I know this isn't the best community for this topic but Lemmy doesn't have anything more specific (yet). I want to know what's going on that I have this setting in FreshRSS:

And this behavior:

Something tells me it isn't a bug, just going over my head. I'm still new to selfhosting so it's not all clear to me how it works yet.

 

Dipping my toes in selfhosting lately, here is my ideal books setup:

  • Upload books/comics/audiobooks to my server via Calibre-Web which serves as the main organization hub for all books.

  • Have those files be recognized by Audiobookshelf and Komga (or Kavita)

Right now, Audiobookshelf works beautifully (as long as I don't check "store cover with book" which overwrites Calibres covers).

Komga/Kavita sort of work (in that I can see/read the files), but they won't organize into series even with properly configured ComicInfo.xml files. Is re-arranging the files manually (in a way that Calibre doesn't like) the only way for comics to be recognized as a series? Please tell me there's a workaround here I feel so close!

 

A lot of internet publications today have videos in the middle of their articles that have nothing to do with the actual content. Example in this WIRED article here.

I'm wondering if there is an active blocklist for this kind of content? I already have uBlocks "annoyances" all subscribed. These videos slow down the pages and are too numerous to block individually.

 

I want to use myanonymouse to download/seed books but it requires you to download from the same IP as you use to browse the website. My qBittorrent is in docker container on my home server, using gluetun with a VPN.

I tried both of these instructions to no avail I think there is something I'm missing. Shadowsocksqt5 latency just says "error" and using the chrome extension suggestion just simply doesn't load anything.

The reason I don't want to seed from my workstation pc is because myanonymouse requires you to seed to maintain your account and the workstation is mostly off. My home server is always on. Any ideas?

 
 

A search for this only brings up adapters to plug M.2 drives into a PCIE slot which is not what I want because I don't have a PCIE slot.

What I want is M.2 > M.2 (2x, 3x, etc). Does this exist?
