Ok, I like this idea. Handn’t thought of doing a single library we all log into. That certainly could make things easier since I already have the server up and running.

Actually I’m not sure. I will investigate for sure though!
Hmm, I’ll have to look into the external library. I must not have paid attention to that as an option or at least didn’t understand it if I did read about it.
Syncthing would be great, but since my siblings are all out of state, I’d have to walk them through configuring it on their computers and I’ll be honest, I still struggle with adding new peers and folders with that app. That’s a “me” problem, and I’m willing to admit it. But I can look into other file upload options out in the Self Host world.
I really like it. I tried several distros for my first dedicated desktop Linux machine and pop was the one that clicked. I like that it’s not trying to mimick windows UI, and only sorta behaves like macOS. Everyone else was too close to win10. Which I understand is a selling point, so to speak, but I’m so sick of windows that I wanted it to look and act differently.
I would normally agree but then I saw how cool Paperless-NGX is and had a mighty need to self host and get organized. Or at least that’s how I’m justifying it to myself…
I guess I never thought of this sort of option. I run Calibre in a docker container on my unraid server. Any books I add are sent over via FTP from whatever device I’m on at the time. I do still have to go into the Calibre instance and add the book. I believe there’s a way to have it watch a folder for new items but not sure.
That and not being shown ads in my damn inbox is what lead me to the hunt for a better provider than Gmail. Another I just remembered about Proton that I didn’t care for (and there may be a way to opt out) is the amount of promotional notifications/emails I’d get for their other services. Not as bad as NordVPN, but then again I don’t think anyone is as bad as them regarding self-promotion. I’m happy to pay for a service if it means retaining some more privacy but mostly get rid of ads but the constant need to upsell was getting to me.
It does seem snappier. But damn, I’ve come to love Fastmail’s all-in-one app. Having calendar, notes, contacts and files all in the email app is something I didn’t realize I’d care about but not sure I can do without now.
Where do you like to find them? I looked at the Megathread, but couldn’t really find a retro-centric source.
I love Vimm’s Lair and have used it a bunch. Only reason I didn’t start there this time is I want a new build for a Pi 5 and boy, Vimm’s is slooooooow. Great project and service offered though.
I was mostly worried about coming across some junk roms that won’t play, etc. But that’s probably not so common.
Good point. I think you’re right. I suppose that way I can cut out some of the junk roms I’ll never play. Good call.
That looks nice! I tried to my brain wrapped around Restic CLI (and others) and just didn’t click for my smooth brain. I’ll have to try this.
I did hear about that. But haven’t tried it yet. I’ll check it out, thanks!
I tried both. Proton email client on Android at least was awful. Super sluggish to navigate. In fact I have a chunk of credit with them because I cancelled too late to get a refund. No idea what I’m going to do with that. I already have a VPN and a Pwd manager…
Fastmail has been snappy and I like that the app has a notes section for quick jotting of ideas. I also like that Rclone can attach directly to Fastmail files. They just recently added Proton Drive support too though.
See? This is why I asked. I figured if nothing else, someone would have a better idea than what I’ve been trying! That totally works! I’ll have to try it more to see if it can do what I want. Thanks!
EDIT: yep, this idea works!
That looks promising! Thank you.
I suppose you’re right. But I’ve got this neat tablet here and I wanna use it! That and I want to do this on multiple projects, not just this example.
A whole bunch. After watching Fallout on Prime, I was inspired to try the series again (started and stopped both FO:NV and 4 several times in the past). I’ve played through all of Fallout 3, NV, and their DLCs, and I’m currently in the Nuka World dlc in 4. They all run fabulous on the deck. I work from home, so the thought of gaming in the very same chair I’ve been in for 8 hrs is unappealing. But lounging on the couch with my deck is fantastic!
