Oof this is faint praise. Glad to know your opinion. I’m still looking. I don’t think Trilium is my answer.

Ironically, my pihole is blocking that link. So here’s a clean one: https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/23/amazon_outage_postmortem/

I would love to be in PTP. Hopefully one day. Just in the mids now like ATH and BLU.

The PSYEX fork of AV1 is what I’m using too. It’s a big improvement over the stock AOM fork.

Just saw your edit. Yeah, all of those are familiar to me. Most are on the “banned groups” list lol. I actually have spent the better part of this year, building my own encode library with AV1. It has been more of a fun, educational thing than anything else, but after about 4-6 months, I’ve finally got my settings where I am happy with the size/bitrate/qualitiy tradeoff.

I only download full quality remuxes and then go from there. The encodes are what are shared to F&F while I watch the remux version locally because, why not? I usually delete the remux version once I’m happy with the encode quality.

But some movies, like Traffic, just don’t lend themselves to an AV1 encode yet. So while it works for most movies, it doesn’t work for all of them. Nevertheless, it’s been a fun project.

Yeah I wasn’t planning on charging. Legality aside, it’s just a shitty thing to do.

Wow, this is really helpful. Thank you!!

1. Thank you for this
2. You know more than I do re: bash. Where can I learn what | cut -d/ -f6 | means? I assume the cut is the parsing? But maybe that is wrong? Would love to learn how to learn this.

I really appreciate all of the time and effort you spent on this url. You’re right, the url is weird, which is why I thought it was a good example.

But the question remains whether we have some kind of tool to do this automatically and make it a bit easier…

But you nailed it with this last sentence. Especially when one is on mobile.

Thanks for replying again.

No one is demanding anything. I’m simply stating my preferred solution, which would work on both mobile and desktop, and asking if anyone knows if that solution or something similar already exists.

Nothing suggested so far will properly decode the link that I’ve included above.

But there is no reason to build something duplicative if a solution is already out there. Hence, the post.

base64 -d

Right but the / in the url trips it up and I’d like to just copy/paste the full url and have it spit out the proper, decoded link.

Loving all of these options. Thanks for this!

This looks cool as heck. I’ve got a few extra TBs and I only need my town, not like the whole east coast. I don’t mind throwing some dollars at this if it is able to keep me off Google. I really don’t like those guys lol

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

I don’t have to self host, I was just looking for an un-googled option which would allow me to save data and chart over periods of time.

Great write up and thanks for explaining why you created it and also about the immich integration.

If it wasn’t for the immich integration I’d probably pass but I’m definitely gonna check it out now.

I wasn’t aware that the client cached the playlist. That’s pretty great.

I meant 8. Fat fingers. I’ll update the op. Thanks!

That makes sense. I’ve always thought of NixOS as a desktop distro, not as a server. Guess I need to expand my thinking!

I run Fedora Server with podman and docker side by side. I try to use podman whenever possible but sometimes it’s not worth the hassle so that’s when it becomes a docker container 😬

What services are you running in your pods/containers? Are they local applications like libreoffice or are they network accessible in the more traditional style? What’s the advantage to running a podman container on your machine vs a Flatpak container?

Sorry for all the questions. This is an interesting setup and I’m just really curious.
