Peak Syntax episode. Wes and Scott really embody a “hacker spirit” at a level I aspire to and it shows when they talk about their self-host setups and the dozens of “personal software” hacks they’re constantly working on.

Testing out Booklore on my server. Audiobookshelf is incredible but it doesn’t do so well with epubs.
With Booklore, I can monitor a folder, auto (or manually) fetch metadata, handle position, notes, highlights, and analytics, while serving an OPDS feed.
Now what I need is to self host Qwen TTS, connect that to an app, and audiobook all of the things.

Finally got my vpn fixed, tons of new things added. I mostly just proxy everything through socks5. been using nvpn.net for 10+ years and they finally are going down it seems.
Highly recommend privateinternetaccess.com but their socks5 proxy doesn't work with dns which is a major downside. 3 years @ $2.03 / month is cheap! For my case you can buy proxies a lot cheaper though.
I setup dante-server (socks4/5) on a debian vps and now funnel all my traffic there. Probably setup openvpn to use phone and computer traffic when needed.
But you could setup pia through openvpn setup and basically have dante-server software (sock5 proxy) push everything through it. It's kind of annoying setup though, but would give you a way to change IP's your traffic is being pushed through easier.
Just some ideas thrown out there. Been testing a lot lately with this, since i've been spending so much on vpn when i have multiple vps across the world already.

Current streaming setup on AppleTV:
OverseerrTV app to request shows, Infuse to play them. Everything on the backend (Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent, Huntarr, Cleanuparr, Bazarr) handles the rest and it's so seemless.
There's an app called Mediora that I'm watching. It's janky and slow so far, but it does requests, streaming, and live IPTV all in one app. If they can get it right, it could replace my current setup. For now, I'm happy.

Blown away by home assistant setup:
Step 1: Create your login
Step 2: “Oh hey, we found some devices on your network and went ahead and set them up for you.”

Got an add for Eleven Reader and I was like that seems cool... wonder if I can self-host my own version 🤔
Apparently this is the most popular option. Anyone tried it?

I’ve been using this great app called Pocket for the past little while to manage my Seerr requests for my home servers. And I only recently realized it’s made by @m1guelpf

Just downloaded all my audiobooks from Audible, converted them to M4B files, and moved them to my home server. Now they're available on Audiobookshelf.
Was easy enough to do with the help of the free and open-source app Libation

I'm glad this channel came up for me! I've been getting more and more into my homelab lately, so perfect timing. I'm still considerably a novice though.
My most recent addition was installing https://komo.do/ to have a better way to view and maintain all of my docker containers. Seems good so far!

Spotted on Reddit. Looks awesome. It's fully vibe coded so I'll be cautious but I may test it out at some point.

Strong recommendation: Prologue with Audiobookshelf (or Plex) for your audiobooks.
Basically perfect experience. Free, but with awesome quality-of-life features for a one-time fee for Premium. And if you want you can either buy Premium Family for up to 5 users up front, or upgrade for the difference in price.
Super user-centric. You love to see it.
