Bldck,

I wonder if you’d like Sleigh Bells. Twee pop vocals over grungy guitar. A lot of fun

Bldck,

Gosh. I hadn’t thought about Indian in the cupboard in years

Why isn't everyone talking about AI generated audiobooks?

I just listened to this AI generated audiobook and if it didn’t say it was AI, I’d have thought it was human-made. It has different voices, dramatization, sound effects… The last I’d heard about this tech was a post saying Stephen Fry’s voice was stolen and replicated by AI. But since then, nothing, even though it’s...

Bldck,

Not OP, but I almost exclusively read novels and non fiction via audiobooks. For context, I’m on pace for 70 books this year.

My main reason for audiobooks is I having a driving commute. Two hours a day round trip. Audiobooks keep me sane in a way that podcasts or music do not. I also do audiobooks when doing chores around the house.

Second, I struggle to focus on reading a book on my phone. Too many distractions and I think the reading experience is subpar. I do have an eInk reader, but I haven’t charged it in years because it’s easier to do audiobooks.

Physical books are rare in my home, but that’s a self-reinforcing cycle since I enjoy audiobooks so much.

Bldck,

Daddy would you like some sausages?

Bldck,
  1. Overnight oats
  2. Yogurt with frozen fruit and granola (parfait)
  3. Granola/protein bar of choice
  4. Hard boiled eggs
  5. Peanut butter toast

Try adding app.volumes to the yaml

Examples?

Bldck,

Hilarious. Thanks

Bldck,

The tutorial is quite long. After you have a ship, you can abandon the questline and just do whatever you want.

Requires reading the wiki a lot, but it lets you do whatever you want.

Gunship battles with aliens on the surface? ✅ Dogfights with pirates in orbit? ✅ Arbitrage and space merchant trading? ✅ Planet exploration and flora/fauna identification? ✅ Base building? ✅

Bldck,

The problem with China’s real estate market is that it’s entirely built on false promises and leveraged debt.

The government provides cheap loans to citizens to buy homes they will never live. All in an effort to drive the country’s GDP… but eventually you will either:

  1. Run out of capital to fuel this construction
  2. Rebase the value of these paper homes and the economy collapses on a scale 10x that of the 2008 housing crisis

This article has nothing to do with unhoused people, nor an overvalued housing market pushing out middle class buyers. The economics of the Chinese market are completely dissimilar from the western (US particularly) markets.

It’s entirely about how the Chinese government has an unsustainable market segment dedicated to building things that people don’t want or need… other than to have wealth on paper.

Bldck,
  1. I went to grad school during the ‘08 housing crisis because there were not many jobs available for early career folks. The program was a combination of technical networking (Cisco) and business acumen.
  2. Classes were longer seminars, much harder than undergrad with an intense focus on the subject matter rather than superficial discussions. Projects were also longer/harder including a thesis (~100 pages, 6 months of work)
  3. I learned A LOT. I networked with industry folks and continue to engage with the alumni community. I’ve helped 5-6 grads land their first job.
  4. After a few years working, I did an MBA part time (nights and weekends). That was similarly challenging and I also learned a lot.
  5. I would recommend working professionally before a grad degree unless you’re in a specific industry like bio/chem research, math, psychology etc. basically industries where you require a Ph.D to do anything.
  6. Do your best to get a graduate assistantship to offset the expense of the program OR work with an employer for continuing education.
Bldck,

I listen to audiobooks on my commute, while doing chores or whenever I have some free time from the family.

I was traveling solo recently, so that was a solid 20 hours of book time rather than watching TV or playing video games

Bldck,

What about NetData?

Apps that use google APIs (and similar) vs the webpage version - which is more private?

If I look at a news app on my iPhone, for example, I can see in iOS’s privacy report that the app is using various Google APIs for analytics, amongst others. I understand why (it’s free and easy for them) but means that despite the app not collecting data on me, Google still is....

Bldck,

The amount and types of data a mobile app can access is infinitely higher than a web app.

Where do you have your VPN setup?

I’ve moved my Plex server to Truenas Scale, and I’m about to get Sonarr/Radarr/Ombi/etc setup, but first I need to get VPN going. Truenas Scale uses OpenVPN and my current VPN service is ExpressVPN (which I’ve been very happy with). Setting up ExpressVPN with Truenas has proven challenging because of certificate import...

Bldck,

I run QB through a docker container that’s an always on VPN

Then the xArr apps are in the same virtual network as QB. They run without a VPN

Bldck,

Currently running server3 after some mishaps including a torched OS drive 🫠

Bldck,

Maybe this will help

Bldck,

For what it’s worth, I run a server without a GPU and I don’t have any issue with a single 4K stream.

I’ve had several concurrent mixed streams (720, 1080, 4K) and it didn’t struggle.

I’ve got a single E5-2690v3 CPU (quite old)

Check your wan IP on both your laptop and phone.

I typically use curl https://checkip.amazonaws.com

Bldck,
  1. Cloudflare free tier
  2. Cloudflare wildcard cert (I use one domain with many subdomains)
  3. Docker container for dyndns to cf
  4. Nginx proxy manager
Bldck,

Your service should be able to reach out of your lan to serve you content. I assume you’re running this as a local service on your PC or as a docker container.

Choose Four Consoles to Have the Largest Selection of Games

So I’m reassessing my entertainment center since seeing the Video Game History Foundation’s report. Since the study it’s got me thinking, if you could pick any 4 consoles to have hooked up to your TV (4 becuase I’ve got 4 inputs to my TV) which would you pick and why? I will accept modded consoles as answers too.

Bldck,
  1. SteamDeck
  2. Switch with NSO
  3. Xbox
  4. PS5

Now you have literally everything?

Or just skip 2/3/4 and emulate

Bldck,

I agree with using rsync.

Open a screen then use something like this command:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">rsync -arvzip --progress {$remote}:/path/to/remote/files /path/to/local/files
</span>

If you are using a different port for SSH, you’ll need to pass an option like -e ‘ssh -p 12345’

Now that mullvad has ended support for port forwarding, where should one go for P2P ?

I wanted to do some soulseek, but just as I began moving towards that this happened. What VPN should I use for this ? I don’t want to use any of those over advertised shady VPNs like nordvpn (who was a spamming machine on my PC back when I used it) or surfshark or others if not necessary…

Bldck,

ProtonVPN, AirVPN and PIA all support port forwarding iirc

Bldck,

I use the bottom left most key as a hold fn button, then the top row as F# keys. F11 and F12 wrap around the right side.

It might be im swapping layers to get that effect

Bldck,

Set up a multiple actions on that layer for your F keys

  • Tap: F1
  • Hold: Alt F1
  • Tap Hold: Control Alt F1
Bldck,

Why do you need a VPN and not a reverse proxy and dyndns?

My setup uses some docker containers to:

  1. Update my WAN IP with cloudflare every 60s
  2. Nginx proxy manager to map URLs to services running on my host server
  3. Port forwarding to route traffic to the correct container
  4. Cloudflare zero trust or baked in app authentication
Bldck,

Check out libro.fm. For audiobooks at least, you can download the raw files and use them as you please. I’d expect the same for ebooks

Bldck,

There are some options for Pis like unraid.

Honestly though, just pick one problem you have and solve that with docker.

Beat your head against the wall trying to figure out the virtualization, volume mapping, permissions and networking.

Then start finding other problems to solve.

I stood up a homelab for media storage and streaming… and it has now grown to 30-40 applications running in parallel.
