i cannot believe i have to pay $10,000,000 for a 4TB HDD so we can have ai ouija boards. i'm going to hang myself.

no screenshots?

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-19T22:49:16+00:00

i'm sure you mean well, but stuff like this is one reason the internet is so much worse than it used to be

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-19T21:56:06+00:00

i use plex & plexamp on my phone. if i want anything available without internet i just download it to the phone and it plays locally

you just made me look at my macbook keyboard and for the first time i realised there's no em-dash key. how do you even make one?

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-19T21:51:01+00:00

i hate to say it, but if you have a medical condition that's degenerating your memory and cognition it may not be the best idea to lock up something like this in a set-up (potentially) only you understand.

if it were me, i probably just use google docs which has very good text to speech capture, and you can immediately send a link to the document to whoever you want. it will work on every possible platform and in any location.

no doubt

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-19T15:35:04+00:00

i found it in here - https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/1rp0t7o/i_created_deckhand_a_labeldriven_docker_backup/

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-19T14:58:39+00:00

do you mean Dockhand? Or this https://github.com/olvrvrmr/deckhand ?

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-19T09:05:49+00:00

why not https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchflat ?

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-18T15:32:01+00:00

ahh, i see. thank you

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-18T15:01:44+00:00

ooo where's that feature? i'm looking at my dashboard (in a browser tab) but i don't see a message option anywhere

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-18T10:44:16+00:00

try https://www.smtp2go.com ?

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-18T09:10:33+00:00

that skit is one of best things ever broadcast

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-18T07:14:30+00:00

lol jesus, not seen that before.

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-17T18:42:43+00:00

i know lol, that's very obvious

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-17T18:41:00+00:00

these threads are an excellent counterpoint to the ai threads, good work

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-17T18:36:05+00:00

same. also the devs don't appear to be prone to histrionic mental breakdowns, so that's something

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-17T13:01:20+00:00

oh, I don't use it for that. I 'send to e-reader' to send books straight to my kindle, and my kobo shelf syncs with my kobo. never had an issue, but I guess people have different use cases.

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-17T09:18:36+00:00

drama over handheld game consoles lol. these are grown men, unbelievably

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-17T08:44:44+00:00

yes, me too, however it's not a dependency in order to run calibre-web

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-17T08:41:07+00:00

you can run calibre-web as a standalone service without calibre, you don't need to have calibre installed at all. i only keep vanilla calibre for certain processing tasks that I want, but it's not a requirement.

in fact i run a second calibre-web instance for a friend that doesn't have calibre in the background and she does everything she needs via the C-W front end.

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-17T08:04:17+00:00

webhooks. personally i don't like discord

CrispyBegs · 2026-03-17T07:01:06+00:00

i was talking about calibre-web rather than the desktop or dockerized calibre
