@PNS Hey at least some canadians are making 1/20th a living wage driving for em

@PNS biden vibes

@PNS how much of the national debt is student loans that will never be repaid

@magicalthinking @PNS they need it

@PNS I'd prefer the Alaska explanation, they're kin more than most of the USA

And when merging multi-part book files with m4b-tool, you'd have to keep both just to keep the original torrent seeded.

I'd really prefer folder-structure as primary... Just take that and apply metadata within it.

Rather than the seemingly-preferred Audiobooks/Book/Book.m4b structure which seems like a nightmare to maintain in a world where torrent uploaders are naming their folders things like "1 Pulse" (Jeremy Robinson - Chess Team Adventure #1 - Pulse)

Heaven forbid you're also trying to seed files from their original torrent structure /and/ integrate them with audiobookshelf... Symlinks for the torrent side? For the shelf side?

Installed Audiobookshelf on TrueNAS Scale in about 10 minutes. Surprisingly simple process compared to my experiences with plex/jellyfin/syncthing.

The app integration seems really slick too, clearly a lot of work put in.

I spent more time organizing files and trying to get them to mesh properly. I like the structure Audiobooks\Author\Series\Book\Book.m4b.

That seems to work for the most part, but it also makes an entry with all the books of a series in sometimes-random order. Annoying.

Jellyfin has this problem too. If you have a series with missing episode# metadata, it'll sort by title name, and be completely out of whack. The filename might have the episode number in it, which lets it sort fine in a real file browser, but there's no way to sort by filename or even just disable metadata altogether.

@PNS Why we got a music awards show named after a city in Alaska anyway

@georgia Stumbled upon this today by accident (a typo'd search to wikipedia instead of regular search engine for "Reflections by New Balance" when I was really looking for the track New Balance - Reflections)

idk, just made me think of you for some reason, guess 'cause you talk openly about spirituality a lot.

also the track I was looking for, for chaos posterity's sake:

anime-planet.com: cloudflare brickwall no matter the browser, fine on Windows

whosampled.com: blocked on brave, cloudflare brickwall on firefox, fine on Windows

genius.com: constantly varying, but more often than not just brickwalled if I use a VPN regardless browser/OS

fuck I hate the modern internet

IMDB: page just uhhh doesn't load at all

I'm thinking I'm on some kinda blacklist

@Forestofenchantment @Forestofenchantment @technolyze the CIA investigated themselves and found themselves innocent

@PNS She's got a quality of grating speech, maybe we need a new term for it.

It's kinda froglike, as if the vocal chords are half-tensed. Also a bit nasal.

If vocal fry is from manipulating the lower end until it oscillates, maybe this affect is from keeping them half-tensed whenever possible, with a bonus nasal affect.

Frog fry?

@PNS Good think overpasses don't have width limits

@PNS @maxburn

is there really any distinction

Vibecoded a cronnable bash script that:

Rsyncs a specific configurable (via parameter) directory from seedbox to NAS on half-hourly intervals

Parses rsync output and pipes IRC messages to me with any updated file + local timestamp

Yes I know about syncthing

I fucked up and ran it from root and the permissions were fucky and I dicked around for a couple hours before realizing I SHOULD RUN THE FUCKING CRON JOB FROM THE USER
