Ragnarok is fine if you’re playing on the actual screen. But if you’re gonna hook it up to a monitor, be prepared to see edge jaggies or get lots of frame lag; The SD can’t keep a steady frame rate on anything above Low settings. Low is fine on the built in screen cuz it’s too small to really make a difference. But on a large TV, it makes a big difference.

What sort of monster puts spaces as the first character in folder names?

If retirement is years away, this is barely going to be a blip on the radar. Outside of a full blown depression, the market will recover. Hell, even after a depression, the market will recover if given enough time. If you had your entire retirement invested in a single sector or company, you deserve to lose 17% of it overnight tbh.

Yeah, Costco on a Saturday afternoon is the Mad Max of parking lots. Karens will prowl the lot a dozen times in search of a good spot, just to avoid parking behind the building. And god save you if you manage to be closer to an open spot than they are; They feel like they “deserve” the spot because they’ve been prowling.

I can already hear the “I don’t want anyone to ding my doors” complaints.

Yeah, you always have to account for the wife factor. Same reason I’m using Plex instead of Jellyfin for my video hosting; I’d personally prefer Jellyfin, but the wife factor (really the mother-in-law factor, but whatever…) demands that it doesn’t require a ton of config on the user’s end. If the goal is to encourage use by your family, it can’t be fiddly or difficult to set up on their end.

They’re just autistic! This is a time for a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and we should take a breath.

The text in the image is all wonky and full of artifacts, which had me wondering if it was made by AI.

No, he doesn’t actually want any other countries to take them in. They should just leave their own country… He’d prefer that they simply walk into the Dead Sea so he doesn’t have to think about them anymore.

“Those kids” have already graduated college and are in the workforce. Computer labs got removed from my local schools in the early 2010’s, which was a literal decade ago. The middle schoolers (at the time when the computer labs were removed) have bachelors degrees now.

I call them Rubber Duck Managers.

There’s an old story about a website designer finishing a site. But they knew the approval for the site would need to come from one specific manager. This particular manager was notorious for changing things just to be able to say they contributed. Nothing could ever pass over this manager’s desk without at least one revision, because the manager wanted to be able to say that they had a hand in the project. They weren’t ever content with just sitting back and going “yeah, looks good. Ship it as-is.”

So the designer got the site looking exactly how they wanted it. It was perfect… And then right before they sent it off to be approved, they added a banner of spinning rubber duck gifs at the very top of the page:

The manager sent back “yeah, just get rid of the damned ducks before the site goes live.” By giving the manager a big bright “this needs to be fixed” thing to change, the designer was able to get the site they actually wanted. So if you’re ever dealing with a manager like this, be sure to give them a figurative rubber duck to “fix”.

Yeah, this is a nightmare scenario for an abuse victim. Imagine if your partner works at Subaru, you got your car through them, and now you’re trying to escape them.

This is why so many cars have been moving towards a centralized control center, instead of individual knobs and buttons. For starters, plugging in a touchscreen is a lot faster and easier (and thus cheaper to mass produce) when compared to wiring harnesses for knobs and buttons. But the biggest reason is to make it virtually impossible to disable specific tracking/data collection features without totally destroying your car’s functionality. In many cars, if you disable the tracking stuff, you also disable the AC, radio, cruise control, etc… Because it’s all built into that single hub, and you can’t selectively disable certain parts without killing the whole thing.

It is mapped to my host as a letter drive.

The indictment alleged that Haim asked to reactivate his login there and in 2023 began accessing information on pediatric patients not under his care and then turned it over to a media contact.

And here’s a reminder that HIPAA exists in large part due to doctors/nurses basically blackmailing politicians and celebrities. If a senator showed up in a doctor’s office with the clap, medical staff would threaten to sell that info (basically saying they were having an affair or got cheated on) to the tabloids unless the politician paid up. Or even worse, if they were diagnosed with HIV, the medical staff would out them as gay.

I did. I have it mapped as a letter drive on my server. The server can access it just fine via the file browser. And the docker container still refuses to read from/write to it. The container boots up just fine on the surface, but the audiobooks volume appears empty when I check it (there are dozens in the folder) because the container refuses to actually read anything from the NAS. So I tried using the import option that Audiobookshelf has built in. It imported them just fine on the surface, but they all vanished as soon as the server was rebooted; Nothing was actually saved, because it is refusing to actually write to the NAS.

Testing with the local C drive, it worked flawlessly. No issues. I eventually stumbled across a forum post complaining about the same thing, and the responses were basically “yeah you can’t do that, Docker doesn’t support it unless the image itself has nfs/smb coded in. And most don’t, because it’s considered bloat and images are meant to be optimized.”

But since my server only has a 1TB drive for the OS, and everything else is done on the NAS, I can’t commit to storing all of my media on the server directly. So Audiobookshelf was dead in the water for me.

Yes, I have it mapped as a letter drive on my server, which is what I pointed Docker at. My buddy was having the same issue with his server, for a different Docker container. After some digging, we both stumbled across a post on the docker forums that basically said networked drives don’t work with Docker, even when properly mapped. The container simply refuses to use them for volumes. They’ll look like they’re working, and the container will boot just fine. But nothing is actually read from/written to the NAS, and data isn’t persistent when the container is restarted. And that’s exactly what we were experiencing; The container would boot, but wasn’t usable because it couldn’t actually read/write anything.

Apparently for it to work properly, the container itself needs to contain nfs/smb libraries… And most don’t, because it’s considered bloat.

It’s more work to set up, but a much easier experience if you have users who can’t remotely access Overseerr. You always have to account for the “mom factor” when hosting services; Will your mom be able to learn how to use it? My mom can use Discord, but good luck getting her to learn Tailscale to access my Overseerr remotely.

Caliber is truly amazing, but Kobo support is… Odd. I love my Kobo for comics because of the color screen, but uploading .cbz files is an obtuse process. Kobo readers won’t natively read metadata from .cbz files, but you can manually push the metadata to the device’s database. But in order to do that, you need the file to actually be in the database, which doesn’t happen until after you unplug the device.

So to get a .cbz file working, you need to plug your Kobo in, upload the .cbz file(s), disconnect your Kobo, let it index the file(s), and then hope to god that it actually shows up on the device’s library when you plug it back into your computer so you can manually update the metadata.

I couldn’t get Audiobookshelf to play nice with my networked drive; Apparently Docker just refuses to use networked drives as mapped locations. Since all of my audiobooks are stored on my NAS, it was a non-starter for me.

Prologue is a nice alternative though; It integrates with Plex to stream audiobooks. Plex doesn’t have native audiobook support, but Prologue simply uses Plex to actually access the files. Then it can read the chapter and metadata directly from the files. And since Plex’s remote access is fairly easy, it means Prologue’s remote access is fairly easy too.

The big downside is that you’re tied to Plex instead of Jellyfin. I already had a lifetime PlexPass license, so it’s not a problem for me to just spin up a Plex server with an “Audiobooks” library.

Simply wanted to leave the comment for anyone else who may be in the same boat I was in a few weeks ago with Audiobookshelf.
