does anyone have an actual horror story about anything happening via an exposed web service? let’s set aside SSH

i’m pretty sure you can just drop the normal channel url into freshrss and it’ll convert it automatically. maybe it’s an extension doing that though

i have one running debian as a secondary backup to run just smart home stuff and pi-hole. you can set it up to start back up after power failure. was like $50 used. there’s basically no point in it being a mac rather than an old lenovo machine, but it sure is cute looking.

it looks cute, i would worry about it being so small + light that the cables push it around but that doesn’t really happen for the apple tv and this will probably be heavier. might be an upgrade path from my M1 iMac one day, but good 4k monitors are still way too expensive.

pretty cool, i want to encourage this purely in the interest of building up a community of more interesting themes. that part of freshrss is so bland.

i’ve been enjoying it, the docs are really good. i think it could be a little “smarter” like with recognizing schedules, but it’ll only get better. a major limiting factor for me that isn’t any fault of actual is that my apple card either through simplefin or manually exporting only allows download of the previous month’s transactions after closing. so for that account it’s not really useful for seeing where i’m at budget-wise halfway through the month, only in retrospect and forecasting.

just gonna be 100% upfront, i would only use this if it could index my downloads folder of pirated games that are folders with setup.exe inside

so much chinese text

i’ve tried it, it’s soooo overdesigned. linkding works for me

i run ABS as a web based manager for drm free audiobooks but the player itself is just totally unreliable, i download the files and add them to BookPlayer on iOS

i found this to be an interesting talk by a specialist on the way risks from these things are ranked and where the state of currect research is: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=vocvz6N6faI

the important takeaway for me was that "micro"plastics aren’t exactly microscopic

i’d love for a good tech journalist to look into how and why this is happening and do a full write-up on it. come on ars, verge, vice

these numbers are nearly reaching the point where buying seasons of shows on iTunes, which always seemed insanely expensive, becomes the better option for people who watch specific stuff. never thought I’d see the day

youtube suggestions are genuinely terrible for the individual and humanity as a whole

wow, i completely missed this the last time i tried out calibre-web, if it was even integrated. awesome, thanks. i also found this guide: https://code.mendhak.com/kobo-customizations/#syncing-kobo-with-calibre-web

as in it pulls everything you add to the calibre library on a schedule rather than pulling individually/manually like from OPDS? how do you pull this off?

nice little guide, i’m surprised your pi can run the media servers though without being really slow. i’d also suggest using an alternate webui for qbittorrent if you’re only interacting with it through the webui. i like https://github.com/WDaan/VueTorrent

i’ve used this one before but i hasn’t been updated in a while

idk, i wonder if youtube could even work if you always had to be logged in. when i imagine what most of youtube’s activity is, i think of the foreign music videos with billions of views. could their ad model with those kinds of numbers possibly work if they put account auth barriers in front of it? how many hotel lobbies, barber shops, etc are playing youtube on loop logged out worldwide? netflix level drm would radically change the platform.

rss is working on the instance i’m using. make sure you’re on a recently updated one
