Octoprint if you own a 3d printer

Yeah I miss DVD bonuses like directors commentary, cut scenes, bloopers and alternate scenes.

There’s your problem right there. /s

That’s actually the source of my joke haha.

Potatoes.
Lots of potatoes.

I setup open SSH on windows so you can swing it both ways!

My main gripe is it runs cmd.exe and I gotta powershell to jump into that. If you auto powershell it doesn’t work right.

I still have 2 netbooks… Both with cracked screens haha

If you want simplicity I recommend skipping all self hosted solutions. You can set mihon to download X chapters ahead for offline reading and delete chapters as you read. On a kindle I’d recommend save as archive and/or cut tall images (webtoons).

Ebooks take no space.
Stick to calibre on your computer and transfer via netshare using a file browser (android: solid explorer) to copy stuff over. That’s what I do.

Mihon is the successor to takiyomi. It’s a manga website scrapper. But it also supports some self hosted solutions for reading across devices.

Make sure to add this special repo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keiyoushi/extensions/repo/index.min.json

It really sounds like you’re trying to setup a centralized solution for media consumption and I might be confusing you with my recommendations.

I read on only one device so this works for me. Mihon supports self hosted solutions. ReadEra is just a nice reading client. I manage it with a file explorer and netshare (Solid explorer)

Manga - Mihon

Ebooks - ReadEra premium

I use calibre on my PC to manage ebooks, but I often download directly on my phone.

I use TTS (Text to speech, paid feature) to listen to my ebooks. Sometimes I use @Voice (free with ADs) to listen to books. It’s better for that.

I second this setup.

I have 3 ONN sticks and they do the job. Great for the price. Just sideload Kodi, new launcher, remap buttons.

I even paid for button mapper. Totally worth it.

PipeWire is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines. This includes:

• Making available sources of video (such as from a capture devices or application provided streams) and multiplexing this with clients.
• Accessing sources of video for consumption.
• Generating graphs for audio and video processing

Wacom sold one of these ages ago for 4x the price. This is a nice amount to get into it

Best starter for self hosting:

Although laptops technically have a built in battery backup 😎

Hey that userdata costs money!!

Yep

Warning: This becomes a rabbit hole very quickly because there are so many items to cover. I’m not going to breadcrumb you. I want to provide you with everything, which means we have to start from the BEGINNING!

It also supports ripping playlists. Fantastic to archive a set locally…

One big issue with retail computers coming with Linux is the kickbacks from the Windows ecosystem.

Things like AV trials and MS Office. I don’t know if they break even or make a profit on all the bloatware from a Windows based sale.

Wired is king.

If I gotta do wireless I get one with a RF dongle/base.

Astro A50 Wireless. Needs a dongle but it’s waaaay more stable than any bluetooth headset. Both on range and audio quality.

Use case:

I want to set it up in my home so husband and 2 kids can access and share within GOG TOS.

Is there a feature to automatically download installers and patch files from GOG to the server?

Seems like a good feature to have to maintain an offline library.
