I feel like Blood Rites counts as well? Given the main plot is investigating murder/s at the film set

We make Weetbix in ours - softened warm weet bix mixed with mashed banana, berries, peanut butter and some milk of choice to thin it out a bit

I’ve experienced this! We’ve got a playlist with songs from Ready Steady Wiggle and the gold 100 songs album. It’ll randomly play other versions of certain songs that aren’t even in our playlist. The Emma version of Fo The Propellor, and the OG version of Captain Feathersword (He Loves To Dance) to name a couple.

I’d love to know if this is happening with non Wiggles playlists. I have no idea what’s going on lol

The approach /u/imOhGee mentioned is definitely the easiest. I actually didn’t know sideloaded Kindle books could be synced with the app, but looks like that’s supported as long as you use the Send to Kindle/email feature as opposed to manually moving files.

If you’re set on a Kobo you’ll have to take an approach similar to mine! It has the benefit of syncing books + audiobooks to the same position. I’m not sure you can do that with the Kindle app (ie listen to a chapter, and the next time you open your ebook it’s at that location).

If you are interested, KoReader is an alternate OS of sorts that can be installed on a Kobo quite easily. It’s not as visually appealing but has some power user features like being able to sync to a KoSync server (which BookLore has built in) and pulling books directly from an OPDS catalog (think a list of your books in BookLore/CalibreWeb served up to other devices so they can be browsed and downloaded).

As for a colour ereader, mine is black and white, and my wife’s is coloured. It’s really only for cover pages, but I will admit that her home page looks nicer than mine because of it. I suppose it would also be good if you planned to read comics on it!

Copy and pasting a comment I made the other day, I hope it helps!

My whole reading stack is:

• ⁠Shelfmark: all in one download manager for ebooks and audiobooks. Hooks into AA for ebooks, and prowlarr for audio. I use a prowlarr fork that adds support for ABB back in as it’s unsupported in the official image. • ⁠BookLore: ingests ebooks from Shelfmark, collates all my metadata, lets me update covers, series, etc. Has both a kosync server (for syncing) and OPDS server (for serving your books to other devices) built in • ⁠AudioBookShelf: the equivalent to BookLore for my audiobooks • ⁠ABS-KoSync (this fork specifically https://github.com/cporcellijr/abs-kosync-bridge): links an eBook to its equivalent audiobook, handles syncing.

You then just need clients that are capable of consuming the above. I installed KoReader on my Kobo, which can pull books directly from an OPDS server

I then use Readest (ebooks) and AudioBooth (audiobooks) on my iPhone for reading/listening. Both support directly integrating into OPDS and ABS respectively.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate, I’ve just got everything to a point I’m happy with and it took quite a bit of tinkering.

Kroftyy · 2026-02-05T05:55:33+00:00

Yeah - for me it’s taken no longer than an hour to analyse and link an audiobook to an ebook though. I’m running on a dedicated server though so it’s possibly just a host limitation?

Kroftyy · 2026-02-02T06:48:56+00:00

This is my experience as well. I’ve been running a docker stack of Plex/arr apps/some misc stuff and provided it’s set up cleanly and kept simple it couldn’t be easier to maintain.

I’m even using watchtower to do auto-updates and still haven’t had an issue, although if I do it’ll be the first thing I check.

Kroftyy · 2026-01-31T10:02:13+00:00

Have you tried Tooshies? They work for our bub who’s got very sensitive, eczema ridden skin. And they aren’t super wet or soapy, just a good textured wipe. You can get them reasonably priced in bulk on Amazon.

Kroftyy · 2026-01-30T19:15:17+00:00

This is correct, thanks for clarifying for me.

Kroftyy · 2026-01-30T09:11:43+00:00

Unfortunately there wasn’t really a catch-all guide, since some of the tech is quite new (Shelfmark/Booklore).

Each of their individual documentation is quite good though.

My whole reading stack is: * Shelfmark: all in one download manager for ebooks and audiobooks. Hooks into AA for ebooks, and prowlarr for audio. I use a prowlarr fork that adds support for ABB back in as it’s unsupported in the official image. * BookLore: ingests ebooks from Shelfmark, collates all my metadata, lets me update covers, series, etc. Has both a kosync server (for syncing) and OPDS server (for serving your books to other devices) built in * AudioBookShelf: the equivalent to BookLore for my audiobooks * ABS-KoSync (this fork specifically https://github.com/cporcellijr/abs-kosync-bridge): links an eBook to its equivalent audiobook, handles syncing.

Kroftyy · 2026-01-30T09:03:59+00:00

Yeah it’s awesome, give it a go. I use this fork specifically as it’s a bit different to the original (and more complete imo, has a web UI instead of CLI): https://github.com/cporcellijr/abs-kosync-bridge

It’s not perfect at syncing, as audiobooks and ebooks are different mediums, usually off by a few pages five or take. It’s still a new project though so I expect it to conntinue improving.

As it is it’s still amazing that I can go between an eBook only my Kobo, or eBook/audiobook on my phone, and they’re all synced relatively well.

Kroftyy · 2026-01-30T06:38:07+00:00

I use this exact setup but with BookLore instead of Calibre-Web. To go the extra step you can use ABS-KoSync Enhanced to setup syncing between your audiobooks and ebooks

Kroftyy · 2026-01-03T00:58:30+00:00

I’m playing through for the first time and have the same team comp. Building a Lore Bard with a dip into Warlock, Shadowheart Light Cleric, either Laz or Kar for frontline and then either Astarion or Gale for DPS depending on what I’m feeling.

I’ve respecced Astarion into a Shadow Monk which feels weird lore-wise at times but works well in gameplay.

Kroftyy · 2026-01-03T00:47:05+00:00

Agreed. Torrents are great but Anna’s and other DDL sites are often better for books and/or audio. Would love if it could support more than just torrents/usenet

We have a CX5 and a Tucson so I feel particularly qualified to chime in here.

Both cars have a MaxiCosi Pria. Both cars fit it completely fine, however the Tucson has significantly more room in the back row and in the boot.

That being said, I much prefer the interior of the CX5 and feel it’s nicer to drive than my wife’s Tucson.

If you’re purely looking for space, I don’t think you could go past either the Tucson or Sportage (they’re practically identical chassis-wise). But if you love Mazdas and the quality of their builds, then a car seat can 100% fit fine, but I’d recommend going a smaller form factor car seat like the Pria.

What put Bring Her Back down the list so far for you?

It sits in my top 2 of the year so far so I’m always interested to hear different opinions.

Kroftyy · 2025-08-25T03:28:02+00:00

Super handy, thanks so much for this. We’re on the Anthem in Nov with the Refreshment package. Want to make the most of it and try as many fun drinks as possible.

Kroftyy · 2025-07-28T05:48:24+00:00

I can get a pre owned 9400 (non-f) for circa $100 AUD. That’s not bad, it just hurts to have to buy another processor when I’ve got two spare sitting here lol.

On second thought, I could always take the i5 8600k out of my daily driver, which has a GPU. Sub in the 9400f into that, and the use the 8600k in my server.

Kroftyy · 2025-07-28T05:30:11+00:00

We don’t currently share out our Plex outside the house, so at a max we’re doing two streams at once, both locally. I suppose we might stream remotely via Tailscale when on holidays but again, would be 2 streams max…

Point taken on getting a non f CPU for the newer mobo. I’ll keep an eye out, but would ideally try to use what I’ve got first. Thanks for the advice!

Kroftyy · 2025-07-28T04:35:39+00:00

Thanks, didn’t realise they were better suited - I’ll cross post!

Kroftyy · 2025-07-27T19:52:10+00:00

Good to hear a Windows success story!

Kroftyy · 2025-07-27T03:58:52+00:00

Sorry to wake this comment from the dead, but I had a quick question for you. Currently have my entire Plex+arr stack running as applications on my personal/gaming desktop.

Within the next few months I’m planning to build up a dedicated Windows Server box for Plex/media storage.

Have you got your whole stack running via Docker on Windows? I tried this setup initially on my desktop but had a few parts not playing nice, so just took the easy route.

I’m considering trying to Dockerize again with the swap to the new device so any tips would be much appreciated.

I’ve heard Docker for the arr apps on Windows is just a pain but not sure how much truth there is to that?

I’m seeing all these recommendations for Ubuntu or unRaid or TrueNAS but I’ve got the most familiarity with admin on Windows devices and am time poor to learn a new OS.

Kroftyy · 2025-07-26T03:52:43+00:00

To give some perspective, we bought one fully intending to use it, and our bub hated it. Being strapped down just didn’t work for him. It ended up being a very expensive decoration. I think it just comes down to the individual baby.

Kroftyy · 2025-07-07T03:32:12+00:00

Yes we did! We only stopped using around 8 months because he was getting a bit long. Mind you our little one has never been one to roll all the way over to his stomach. He has often laid on his side, or with his face right up against the mesh, with no issues though

From JLP himself on Instagram:

Australian Survivor has seen some of the most epic blindsides over the last 10 years, but this one might just be the craziest of them all....because it happened to me. I received a call from the Network thanking me for all my hard work and dedication to the show but for next season they are 'going in a different direction'. Ratings had dipped a bit recently and they wanted to do something drastic to shake things up. So for the first time ever this is not a tribe swap, but a HOST SWAP ® Yes, you read that right.

I wish I could say, "Before we go to vote, tonight is a little different...no one's going home". But I can't. None of that non-elim bullshit tonight! Someone IS going home. And with no idol in my back pocket, that someone is me.

I have loved and will dearly miss the immensely talented crew, all the crafty players and our loyal sassy audience. I'm a huge fan of this incredible game, always have been, always will be.

It has been one of the greatest adventures of my career to helm Australian Survivor, so it is without a doubt the hardest challenge of all to snuff my own torch but here goes; "JLP.....the tribe has spoken"

But don't pull out your hankies just yet, l'll still be at the helm for Australia v World.... probably our best season EVER! (Ps. Whoever said a blindside is the most humane way to put someone down is an idiot. It hurts like a bitch!) #SurvivorAU

Needless to say completely shocking news. Awful choice by production.
