I’m going insane. I cannot for the life of me find a suitable way to listen to music privately. I’m on iOS, and I don’t know whether to just stick to Apple Music or give up on music in general (I tried, TRIED to go local, but all the apps are shitty). Any way to listen to music and not have your data compromised? Should I...
Let’s be fair. Apple doesn’t do this quite so blatantly and egregiously, but they do it. They collect plenty of telemetry, and it’s getting harder to opt-out of/block it with their own chipsets.
Yeah. Apple is super slimy. They just hide it better. I’d like to move away from Apple entirely, but I’m kinda stuck right now. I can’t afford to just get rid of perfectly good phones and tablets to try and replace them with better privacy options.
I do what I can to protect my privacy on apple devices, but I don’t trust them at all.
I’ve put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It’s mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I’m going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading....
Just started The Passage by Justin Cronin (audiobook) and I’m loving it, and I’m about to finish Witch King (dead tree) by Martha Wells, which has also been fantastic.
Up next in dead tree edition is gonna be something off my bookshelf at home. Not sure what I’m in the mood for yet but I’m leaning towards Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I want to re-read that and Eyes of the Void to prep for Lords of Uncreation.
I loved the movie, but goddam it was annoying how they ignored explosive decompression and exposure to the void of space when it wasn’t convenient to deal with it during those action scenes, but then sometimes did acknowledge it and sort of deal with it when they needed it for the story.
I don’t mind stuff like that when it doesn’t break me out of the story. I’m this case, it was so bad I found it jarring. Still enjoyed the movie, but that was egregious.
That’s fair, but it doesn’t change that it was bad enough to break me out of the story. Like I said, I still enjoyed the movie, but instead of being something I’d definitely go back and rewatch, it’s one I probably won’t.
I’m looking for a self hosted solution to this problem:
I want to create a full text search index from a collection of PDF manuals (text, not images, I don’t care about OCR here). There is a UI to search for text matches in documents, and clicking a search hit opens the PDF scrolled to where the search hit is (bonus points if the search hit is hilighted)
So, I have qBittorrent running in a container on a machine in my network. That machine heads out through an OpenVPN gateway on my pfSense firewall connected to Proton VPN....
I was just setting up port forwarding with protonvpn the other night. My qbittorrent is not in a container, however, I think the key is the instructions I followed on this support page:
Did you do anything special to get onlyoffice working? I’ve tried numerous times to add OO to my nextcloud, and it’s never worked for me. It’s the one thing I’m missing that would let me move my wife off of google.
The one that was lifechanging for me is audiobookshelf. I LOVE having full ownership and control over all of my audiobooks, and the ability to enjoy them on any device I choose.

How much data are your GPU drivers collecting about you? Quite a lot in Intel's case (www.techradar.com)

If I want to stream locally to multiple platforms what is best software to use?
I want to stream mkv files to Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. Transcoding isn’t that important. Just want something convenient.

What are your most used selfhosted services? (kbin.social)
I'd probably have to go with Audiobookshelf and Kavita. Behind those would be Invidous and Immich.
What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life?
I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!...
