The progress sync is separate from how books get onto the various devices (at least as far as I know). Something OPDS capable works well to get the actual files across a network (o…

This is basically what I do. Gitea instance with closed registration. So far I did get three different people sending me emails with patches/contributions and all the interactions …

To add to the melancholy: Fasnacht in Basel was cancelled twice during covid. That hit many people very hard. A small group played two well known tunes (one in a minor key instead …

Ha, die Streuner were the original inspiration for me to write my own dumb and small music streaming service. Seeing them mentioned here might just give me the motivation to pick t…

Reading this while drinking from a universal paperclips mug, I can only sigh and agree.

I quite love that story and at least my age says I am an adult. Very recently I wrote a short (~320 words) review of it in preparation for my English C2 exam and it even was fun to…

Not 40k but the warhammer armies project with some friends (most of them started playing fantasy back during the 6th and 7th edition). For years I mostly painted without playing (i…

For what it's worth, that behaviour happens to me too (on a linux system), doesn't seem consistent though (but I never really took too much note).

I am using the pbp with sway (if you don't know it, an i3 like wm for wayland), works well for me. Hoping for gles 3.3 support in mesa (3.0 is experimental but there) to be able to…

Oh, very interesting, thanks for the hint :D

I have the corresponding ebooks too, so I open up the whole audiobook as one file and guess where the chapters are from the waveform. I listen to the guess and compare to the ebook…

The amount of time I spent on correcting wrong chapter marks (like the first four books of the Wheel of Time) is masochistic. But I am absolutely happy that I have the possibility …

Working on my own toy linux distribution and writing a (very) barebones package manager for it[0]. Also a simple music streaming server which caters exactly to my needs without tak…

https://vanwa.ch Mainly strange poetry and photographs, maybe that's your kind of thing. The only technical thing on it is the link to my repositories and this: https://vanwa.ch/so…

Init7 is great, I only had to tick a checkbox saying something like "I know what I am doing" and apart from providing the technical information they left me alone. Only had one pro…

- CDBaby ( https://store.cdbaby.com ) has lots of stuff (they stopped offering flac downloads but if all you're after are high quality mp3 files that's not an issue). - Magnatune (…

lineageos + microg + playmaker for the stuff I still want from the playstore makes it almost usable for me. But I am with op for being able to taste my desire :)

I host my own email stuff too (private stuff and for a couple of friends) and sending to microsoft domains (hotmail, outlook.com) consistently gives me the most problems. Right now…

That's the same thing I do and it is great. I don't need much on my host server side but having that stuff be easily configurable in one place and be mostly idempotent made my life…

10 years ago I used to read in class on a Cowon iAudio 7, tiny screen but perfect to hide in my sleeve.

10 years ago at school I could not search for documentation about strings or "insert" clauses (sql) because that would trigger the firewall. Fun times.

Sorry to nitpick but his name is Georg Kreisler ;) But apart from that I very much agree.

Mani Matter comes close for me, if not in the delivery but definitely in the lyrics. But his songs are in Swiss German (Bernese actually), so not as accessible for as many people (…

Yeah, I only saw "Tom Lehrer" and "90" and that was my first sad thought then.
