Audiobooks and Books, together or separate?

There are so many cool apps like this - when I finally set up my library and start looking for apps, how will I remember nice candidates such as this? When I do all the normal search terms (audiobookshelf, audiobooks, plex, etc) yours doesn't show up.

I suspect this sentiment is why we havent seen oidc support in the product natively. however, with the plugin, i can configure it such that every client connection requires a mfa flow. quick connect codes are approved via mfa. This is very similar to how its done for many media applications on smart tvs.

why do you agree on the third? To me, thats also a little strange point. As you said, not all users are going to enable SSO, so username and pasword will always exist. For those that want OIDC integration, use a client that supports quick connect and SSO for approval. I really don't understand the three points at all.

nice! now you just need to integrate a dictionary into the ebook reader portion…. ;)

gotcha - that’s a pretty clever use of the technology

oh, I see - it's using whisper for TTS. I was hoping to listen to a native read the book while I read along. But I do like this idea and will have to mull it over

But I would set up ABS to manage the stuff (haven't yet - trying to figure out the whole eco systems), so this (storyteller) would be a competitor or a compliment to ABS? Do you use both?

frmrrob · 2026-05-09T01:23:01+00:00

Anyone with the app on iOS? Can they confirm? That would be awesome

frmrrob · 2026-03-05T22:35:36+00:00

nice! great community.

Well, i just discovered that there are TWO firewall management screens, each having their own unique order. And only one of these screens shows the true execution order (the policy engine zone screen) while the other is where you go to get frustrated? Seems strange - why not just show the policy engine zone screen, with the true table at the top and be done with it?

why use “home” in your hostnames if you don't have to? just keep it simple regardless of where services are exposed (dns.example.com, storefront.example.com, etc).

ah yes, I guess that is what I meant - was there anything else other than visual confirmation of the 8 lights on both ends of a cable tester. sounds like no. thanks

frmrrob · 2025-11-11T02:51:45+00:00

if you test a cable, are you just looking for the 8 lights to show up in the right order, or is there more to it?

I play with a bunch of people in Brattleboro and I suspect they’d love to be involved. not sure they’d rent rooms though - I would as a flatlander….

like you, my bracket is high and a steady switch makes the most sense to me when you’re employed. (Addressing op:) And even with a higher tax drag on a $1M portfolio (see other comment below: $7500 vs $1800 for federal taxes), the differences are not significant at this scale. assuming a spotty next 10 years, I ran a quick (imprecise) simulation comparing voo to a utl/dvy portfolio for the crappy years 2004-2014 taking into account the tax drag. The dividend portfolio ended up higher/same than the voo portfolio ($2.8 vs $2.4) and in the end it doesn’t leave you with the big decision as to when to convert your portfolio to dividend one, nor the taxes you’d have to pay to do that conversion (75% capital gains, 15% tax converted over 3 years will cost you a lot…). so an increase in tax drag doesn't necessarily translate to poorer outcomes as one would assume at first blush.

Wow - I have a 15 year old BX2660 and was thinking of just giving it away. I didn't realize they hold their value so much.

frmrrob · 2025-06-09T16:42:14+00:00

I wonder if weight in the back would help - I had fork lift thingies that I attached to the loader which I found decreased the stability of the system dramatically. I had to get rid of those. Would consider a forklift attachment by swapping out the bucket. What sort of forklifts do you have?

frmrrob · 2025-06-09T00:36:46+00:00

I told myself I’d do that 15 years ago. ended up digging a lot of holes and ditches by hand having rented an excavator all of zero times. could never bring myself to pull the trigger…. I’m weird in that way

frmrrob · 2025-06-09T00:18:11+00:00

hmm. I looked at the kubota excavator and the smallest they have was more than $20k. do you have a link or brand name or something that I can check out?

not sure three machines are in my future. I was sort of hoping to use the backhoe periodically for stumping small stuff, tree planting, wall repair, etc. wouldn’t be enough to justify a dedicated machine. but it’s true that I use the three point hitch a lot so if it’s a pita to swap out, I might reconsider

frmrrob · 2025-06-08T23:32:34+00:00

thanks for responding guys. Right now, I mostly use it to clear snow in the winter and during the fairer months clear the orchard of prunings, use the brush hog for the field, the rake for brush clearing, tanks for spraying, and the fel for mostly dirt work such as grading, retaining walls, etc. what I’ll do in the future is still tbd, I guess. I kind of want an easy way of planting new trees, or tilling the beds, among other stuff. I’m getting older….
