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 (or calibre via usb). For progress you can use their provided

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 were quite nice. Of course the stuff I am doing is not

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 of the usual major) up one of the towers of the minster to s

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 that project up again.

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 write about it :)

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 (it is a great source of calmness for me), but during the pand

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 run alacritty :)

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, checking whether I am too far or too early. Once I find th

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 of doing so after the conversion :)

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 taking care of others (now writing a client for it)[1]. Plus le

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 problem with them that they resolved very quickly (th

- 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 ( http://magnatune.com ) has in

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 it seems to be ok again but I always make sure that people

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 easier.

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 (and I also grew up with his songs so I might be a bit biased

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

Argh, I meant Napalm Records, sorry. Now I have to go and see what nuclearblast is doing :)

The day I discovered that labels like nuclearblast are putting albums up was a bad day for my bank account.

Not OP but these are my reasons if you're interested. I've been using Rockbox for more than 10 years and know the interface by heart (there was one occasion where the screen broke on a player but I could still use it perfectly fin

Ha, that was the word I was looking for, thanks :) Ok, I'll have to read this version too then (only know a german one so far). And probably learn russian.

I love The Master and Margarita. A lithuanian friend introduced me to it and she told me that it was censored back when Lithuania was still part of the Soviet Union and they used to share those parts in secret (copied on a typewriter).
