What do you mean? I watched dunkey’s weird video and I still don’t understand. Hoopla is digital content from library’s, free and available for anyone. I’m confused as to this standpoint you have.


After years of using Feeder on my phone and some other random stuff on my laptop, I switched to FreshRSS on my server and the big thing is everything stays synced. My read and stared articles are all where they should be. I run fluent reader on all my devices and tailscale keeps me always connected to my reader so I can save articles on my phone when I don’t have time to read them then read them when I get home on my laptop or tablet.


I myself switched to Audiobookshelf. I initially set it up for my wife to have her audio books while traveling but I found it does podcasts and normal epub books really well also.


I was one of those old purchasers. There was a huge uproar on the subreddit back in the day cause they said everyone who purchased the app before the subscription model would only get like 1 or 2 years of subscription access instead of lifetime. People got so pissed they changed it to lifetime.


I purchased pocketcasts years ago when it was a one time fee and when they moved to a subscription model they gave everyone who purchased a lifetime pass on the subscription model but that rubbed me so wrong I moved away from it. Currently I run Audiobookshelf on my server and have all my podcasts in a library on there. Works really well and I have control over it.



I’m working on getting an opnsense client together but money is tight so this is definitely the route I’m going to go once I am able.


So this worked and I was unable to use transmission without gluetun connecting properly. Is it normal for some clients to just be faster with the same torrents? Like about was at like 1-2mib and transmission with the same torrent is running at 4-5.


How to make sure transmission is using my vpn?
I have transmission running on my server in a docker container that is supposed to go through gluetun. If I run test with ipleak and other torrent ip testers it shows my vpn's ip address. However transmission is running way faster download speeds than deluge or qbit were with the same configuration. It makes me wonder if all the traffic isn't going through the vpn somehow and I can't think of any other way to check things other than ipleak tests. I'm probably being over paranoid but a few months ago qbit leaked and I got a letter from my isp. I really don't need that happening again. Any help would be appreciated.

If you go the android route turn on Apps Only Mode in the settings. It gets rid of the home screen ads for the most part and disabled a lot of the “features” that Google tries to push.


Given what you’ve got running I only really recommend, as other have, portainer. It’s made my life so much easier. Edited this since I saw you have homarr and I must’ve missed it the first time.



I use deemix and jellyfin for playback. Browsing on deemix is not as good as spotube but I like it.


Casting is always weird with networking like that. I’d highly recommend trying to find a way to run jellyfin locally cause nothing will really make Tailscale play nice with casting in my experience.


I’ll say that I’ve run both Kavita and Calibre+Calibre-Web. I’ve stuck with running Calibreand Calibre Web together. Kavita was great but since I read on kindle and Kavita-email never worked for me I went back to Calibre. I also prefer calibre since it lets me convert files and change the cover images.

Personally I had more issues getting kavita to work the way I wanted than I did with calibre.


I saw that once a while ago on reddit. If you’re pirating you should be hosting it on jellyfin or something then you’ll never even have a chance of Microsoft seeing your data.


AudioBook sites?
Is there any good sites for audiobooks that aren't behind private trackers? I have a great set up with normal ebooks but my wife's job has here driving for multiple hours a day so she wants audiobooks and I can't seem to find any consistent sites.

Thank God I moved to programming.dev recently. I may have to make a burner on dbzero just in case.


As long as you set it up correctly ( unlike myself) and go through your media to make sure you don’t accidentally have duplicates (like I do) it shouldn’t take up much space. The actual -arrs themselves don’t use hardly any space.
