Spoiler alert:
Please don’t read this post if you haven’t read the books yet.

This only happens on Voyager. Nowhere else. The keys take longer to register and let go, which results into sticky keys and slow typing as if the keys are actually sticking to my thumbs. I tested everywhere and it doesn’t happen except on Voyager. Is anyone experiencing the same issue? Thanks

Hi all, I’m desperate. This has been draining my brain cells one a time. I know for a fact that it is not an ABS issue, because it runs flawlessly locally and it has never even hitched once. The shit starts when I connect through my cloudflare “.com” domain that I just bought last week thinking it’ll solve all my problems (nope).

Every now and then, the frontend client I use (it doesn’t matter which one I use) just disconnects from my ABS server and things just start spinning for a very long time. Just out of nowhere and half of my books are just ghosts because it can’t reach the sever. It acts as if the ABS server becomes inactive and cloudflare just shuts off its tunnel. It’s like the ABS server stops telling cloudflare “yo, I’m up, give me a pass” but cloudflare doesn’t hear/see it and just disconnects it anyway, if that makes any sense.

Sometimes it comes back, and others I have to go into my Debian server and restart the cloudflared service I have for it, in order for the service to resume. I often go to the web interface and either get a red error message complaining about websocket something something. Then I’d refresh the page and either get thrown into the login screen and get stuck there or get the “oops couldn’t find library……..”.

I’ve literally disabled everything I can on cloudflare dashboard that now probably a child can hack me. lol . I even put my audiobooks server in its own tunnel.

I’m at a point that I’m just gonna give up and deactivate all of this cloudflare shit and go back to tailscale and switching servers between home and out of home.

I’m asking for any suggestions if you’ve ever been through something similar. Searching the internet lead me to doing many things that didn’t even fix it. Don’t even get me started on AI.

Thank you in advance. Let me know if you want any details: Debian Trixie and the latest ABS server. Your average .com cloudflare domain are the things I have.

Edit: one little detail I forgot to mention maybe it could be of help. My phone and the pc are both running through pihole and my own DNS with unbound.

Hi all, The other day, I posted here asking about recommendations on audiobooks servers and clients for iOS, and I got so many nice and very helpful responses from you all. I really, really appreciated the sense of community and help that you all showed me. Some of you mentioned Android clients and I checked them out since I do have an Android phone and the iOS one was for my wife. I appreciated the two Android clients I saw, the official ABS and Lissen but they weren’t what I was looking for (with the utmost respect to their developers of course).

A kind soul here recommended the app Still for iOS. I checked it out and it was such a nice app. The wife loved it too. I was bummed that it was iOS only. So, I decided to make one for Android (with the help of AI for transparency of course). I’ve been working on it nonstop for over 2 weeks now. When I say nonstop, I mean I stay up until 1AM daily working on it. I’ve got something working really well now.

I wanted to share that with you all in the hope that someone will find it useful. It’s completely free and open source (GPLv3). Completely private. Nothing leaves your device beside the calls the app makes to your own server. I won’t ask for donations or anything. I just want to share. I welcome any feedback and contributions.

Get it here and let me know.

Edit: screenshots are in. I welcome any feedback/github bug reports so I can make the app better. This is an app I now use daily for hours so I won’t mind any bug reports that I don’t catch myself.

Hi all, I’m relatively new to this whole self-hosting thing and I have been loving it. I have several instances setup on my Debian server except for an audiobooks one. My wife loves audiobooks and asked me a way she can get audiobooks on the fly. I have searched online and found many.

Audiobookshelf is the most recommended one, but I don’t really know much about it beside what I read. Most of it I didn’t understand since I’ve never set up anything like that before. I don’t know the technical details on audiobooks like I do on music for example. So I’m not sure. Audiobookshelf has an app for iOS in test flight but its beta is full. And every client for it has an “in-app purchase” tag and I’m not sure what they hide behind a paywall. I’ve also read that Navidrome (which I already have set up on the sever) works, too but it needs to be “tagged” correctly. I’m not sure how to and what to use to tag audiobooks. I use kid3 for music, would it work for books, too?

I don’t want to commit and go through the whole setup then end up hitting roadblocks. So any info would be very much appreciated.

Thank you all.

Hi all, Just wanted to update y’all about the move. Windows worked with zero issues, it just rebooted a couple of time and then took over the boot menu, and I couldn’t get to grub. Basically windows told grub to kick rocks and put itself at the top of the boot sequence. No big deal and fixed it real quick.

Grub did get messed up, it wasn’t there. A chroot from a live environment, and a couple of commands fixed it.

All good and running now. :) Thank you so much to all who replied and helped. Y’all are amazing <3

Hi all, I just bought a new motherboard and I’ll be buying a new CPU, too. The current one is a gigabyte 520i AC AM4 with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G on it currently. The new one is also gigabyte 550M AM4 and the new processor is Ryzen 7 5800xt. I currently dual boot Cachy OS and windows 11. Each has their own boot partition and I use grub. I’m going to bring everything over from the old mobo except the cpu that will stay on it since it’s going into another pc. Meaning, I’m bringing my SSDs and all that. Will I need to reinstall (please say no lol)? Will it be just plug and play or will I need to fiddle with a live environment to chroot?
Please let me know if you need more info. Thank you in advance.

Yattee is a free and open source invidious/piped client for iOS and iPadOS. It’s great for those who want to watch YouTube without the ads garbage. It also supports sponsorblock. It’s a bit buggy, but it still works fine.

I’ve spun up a Debian server a couple of days ago and hosted my own invidious instance. It’s been great so far.

Just a little note, the app looks like it’s struggling with funding/contributions from what I saw on the GitHub and Patreon pages. So if you can code in swift and feel like helping the dev, I don’t think he’ll mind :)

I know, stupid AF that I can’t get it to work. For the life of me, I’m not able to play the game on the pc. Of course I can just play in the browser, but I wanted to install it on my Linux machine and fire it up whenever I wanted to. I haven’t tried for a while, but I remember trying a couple of months earlier and there was an app that installed and launched but my controller wouldn’t work with it. I know about super tux, but I wanted Mario. There is only snapcraft app to install called mari0, but I don’t use snaps. Could someone please help me get it installed without going through the whole retro arch thing? Thank you

Genshin style in a sideview (if that is what it is called). Pretty fun game so far

Chapter 75 of the uncut version did it for me. It has messed with my emotions.
After all the horror, death, and chaos, it wasn’t the monsters or the battles that broke me. It was a little Christmas tree in the snow. It was Tom Cullen, holding presents wrapped in wedding paper, singing "The First Noel" off-key (I even searched the song on YouTube and listened to it while reading, and man, it hit), and Stu just quietly watching him with love.

No civilization. No gifts that cost money. No fancy tree. Just love, survival, and the echo of something human and sacred in a broken world.

No explosions. No evil. Just two broken people, surviving, caring for each other, and finding meaning in the smallest, most human things. Stephen King didn’t end the book with a "bang". He ended it with kindness. We all need that, especially nowadays.
I wasn’t ready for how emotional that final stretch would be. M-O-O-N, that spells tears, laws, yes. (My daughter is on the spectrum, and I was attached to this character the whole time ).

This was one of the harder books I’ve read (English is my second language). I’m thankful for technology, the press&hold dictionary feature is a godsend. Without it, getting through this would’ve been a lot harder. I also leaned on ChatGPT to explain all the “American” phrases, compound slang, cultural stuff, and King-exclusive American-English I didn’t understand (y'all certainly know what I am talking about, right?).
Such a great journey this has been. If you haven’t read The Stand yet, don’t miss out.

Hi all. This is probably silly, but how in the world do you change this circled image? Right-clicking on the whole thing then clicking "manage" can only set the one already there, not this empty one.

EDIT: I have failed to mention that this game isn't a steam game, it is a "non-steam game" that I added to steam.

EDIT2: Just found out that hovering over the game and keeping the cursor on it makes it go through a series of pictures, which leads me to believe that that is an "album" of several pictures for each game that gets downloaded with each game.
