Yeah, they do ship to Oz. But you can’t pay with an NZ card so you’ve gotta do a whole thing where you send money internationally to a friend then they pay and order and receive it then ship it to you. It seems like a big ask for contacting a distant relative out of the blue and asking them to do that.

Same here! I have one but can’t get components any more because they locked down freight forwarding 🙁

My kids use Chromebooks at school. What I call “Word” they call “Docs”. It’s very clear why Google gives this operating system away for free.

Eh I don’t even need to think about this anymore. I have a cron job that backs up every March 31st.

No, they removed that clause some 2 or 3 years back.

I use Borgmatic for my scheduled backups, and sync to Backblaze B2 with Rclone. Works great!

My data doesn’t compress as well as yours though.

Holy hell, Napster is a (legal) subscription music streaming service! Crazy times we live in.

Docker wants you to use volumes. That data is persistent too. They say volumes are much easier to backup. I disagree, I much prefer the bind mounts, especially when it comes to selective backups.

Yes that’s what I do too!

Overnight cron to stop containers, run borgmatic, then start the containers again.

I occasionally have had permissions issues but I tend to be able to fix them. Normally it’s just a matter of deleting the files on the host and letting the container create them, though it doesn’t always work it usually does.

I don’t know if this is naughty but I use bind mounts for everything, and docker compose to keep it all together.

You can map directories or even individual files to directories/files on the host computer.

Normally I make a directory for the service then map all volumes inside a ./data directory or something like that. But you could easily bind to different directories. For example for photoprism I mount my photos from a data drive for it to access, mount the main data/database to a directory that gets backed up, and mount the cache to a directory that doesn’t get backed up.

My favourite thing about Qobuz is they have a store where you pay money and they give you audio files, like in the old days. So you can pay for your music then keep it without an ongoing subscription.

F-Droid. Might be relevant that I’m on GrapheneOS.

I love Audiobookshelf, my main complaint is the Android app crashes when killed by Android (so when I try to open it I get a message about it crashing and then have to reopen it). That might just be a me thing.

I used the tool Libation to download my Audible books. There was a Firefox extension to download audiobooks from Libby but it’s no longer working because Libby changed something and the dev didn’t have time to fight the battle, anyone have a good solution to that?

Cries in only Chrome and Edge at work 😢

The problem is it seems to be different every time. Here’s my list so far:

I’ve worked on this project a decade. That is a long time and I need to move on in life.

Sounds like a single person maintaining such a large project for such a long time means eventually you have had enough. I get that.

Hey ChatGPT, how can I …
