I managed to do it somehow without a kindle but it was an absolute pain in the ass. For my first few books I had to download then using a specific old version of the kindle desktop app so that calibre was able to remove the encryption. Apparently the encryption used by the newer kindle desktop app is different.
For my next books that suddenly wasn’t enough and I had to use an old android app version in an emulator and get the books out of the hidden app storage using adb.
I’m never buying an ebook of amazon again if I can avoid it
I can’t turn it off because none of the lightbulbs in the house would turn on anymore
Personally I try to avoid making anything in my home actually dependant on my server. I have a single lamp that can only be controlled from my phone and that’s only because it’s so rarely used that I didn’t want to put in the effort. Everything else is local first and only gets extended functionality from my server running.
I’ve had a couple issues with my zigbee stuff over the years on the server side and I would be really pissed if I wouldn’t be able to turn my lights on because I haven’t gotten around to fixing my server yet.
Whenever this question comes up I see myanonamouse recommended as a private tracker.
I just wanted to throw in that there is also a tracker called abtorrents which hosts audiobooks and ebooks, though I believe most or all of them are english.
I cannot speak as to the selection between those two unfortunately.
My proxmox server is named Atlas. It hosts a Truenas VM called truenas, a ubuntu server lts vm called Poseidon for docker container hosting a homeassistant VM called homeassistant and a second VM for docker containers called Neptune where I want to gradually move and reorganize my services as required.
I also have a raspberry pi as a general testserver called eileithya and a Synology Nas named Hestia
How regularly do you use both of those devices?
I was eyeing the steam deck for its portability but I rarely would have reason to use it so I held off. Same for the switch.
When I’m at home I play on my desktop. When I’m not at home I’m mostly actively moving about or only waiting small periods of time which are not worth it to start gaming. The only reason I would have to really use them would be during vacations.
Just to be sure there isn’t a misunderstanding. With 7th gen I mean any intel iX-7xxx processor or higher.
The first (or first 2) numbers of the second part of the processor name determine the generation of the processor. The number immediately following the i just denotes the performance tier within the processors own generation
I run a couple of containers on my lenovo mini pc. I have proxmox installed on bare metal and then one VM for truenas, one for docker containers and one for home assistant OS.
For me the limiting factor is definitely RAM. I have 20GB (because the machine came with a 2x4GB configuration and I bought a single 16GB upgrade stick) and am constantly at ~98% utilization.
To be fair, about half of that is eaten up by TrueNAS alone due to ZFS.
The point I’m trying to make is basically make sure you can put enough RAM into your machine. Some NAS have soldered memory you won’t be able to upgrade. The CPU performance you need highly depends on what you want to do.
In my case the only CPU intensive task I have is media transcoding which can often be offloaded to dedicated bardware like intel quicksync. The only annoying exception is hardware transcoding of x265 media which is apparently only supported from intel 7th gen and upwards processors and I have a 6th gen i5… Or maybe I configured something wrong. No clue
Edit: I wrote that after reading the first half of your comment. Regarding connecting a screen, I think I had one connected once to set up proxmox. Afterwards I just log into the proxmox web interface. If required I can use that to get a GUI session of each VM as well.
Thanks for the configuration example. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work for me. I’ve replied to someone above with screenshots of what my configuration now looks like. The base_url
option you use there wasn’t available to me because it apparently has been deprecated and replaced with internal_url
and external_url
.
Thanks. I tried it like this and still get a 400 Bad Request error.
Someone below mentioned adding some more IPs to the trusted_proxies list so I tried that as well without result. The IP I used for the reverse-proxy is the IP listed in portainer under the network for the proxy container. Just to reiterate, the container is running on a different device than homeassistant (technically same device but different VM but that shouldn’t make a difference).
http:
use_x_forwarded_for: true
trusted_proxies:
- 192.168.208.2 # IP of reverse-proxy in its network
- 192.168.208.0/20 # Subnet of proxy docker network
- 192.168.1.103 # HA IP
By exposed you basically mean that I can reach them using my browser? I can reach my homeassistant web ui on port 8123 but when I try to forward to that port with the servers IP I get a 400 Bad Request error. I’m not sure if this is caused by nginx being unable to forward or by homeassistant not accepting the connection somehow
The company says services like Plex, Pluto TV, Sling TV, Starz, and ZDF will introduce support later this year.
I always had the impression that plex was really slow when it comes to implementing new features. I’m definitely looking forward to a chromecast alternative though. Being locked into googles DNS gives me problems due to it prohibiting streaming from my local server via hostname.
I really hope it will be implemented in Jellyfin as well since I can’t get my installation to work with Chromecast at all (most likely again due to the DNS issue)
I used to like slavart. I found out about them while they still allowed album downloads on their website. Later I moved to their divolt website (like a selfhosted discord) where they allowed downloads via bots.
At some point they decided not to bother with divolt and told everyone to start using their discord bot. Anyone who had concerns about privacy or about using their main discord account for piracy was pretty much told that they were an idiot and should go fuck themselves.
At that point I transitioned to ripping directly from quobus as explained in this guide. If I can’t find what I want on quobuz I go to deezer.
yt-dlp supports downloading playlists. By using the --archive option it can save all downloaded video ID’s into a text file and will only download videos which are not in that file.
I wrote a docker container with a friend that uses that mechanism to auto download new videos every time it is triggered using cron. The configuration is a bit rough though and there is no gui so if this supports that part as well I might switch.
