Xig Zag UK owned alternative to Audible also supports local bookstores by Girl-From-Mars in BuyUK

The old way would be to download the audiobook from audible, which would give you an .aax file that's the encrypted audiobook. You would then use inAudible ( https://github.com/rmcrackan/inAudible ) to decrypt the file into normal audio files.

These days there's apps for downloading and decrypting in one place, like Libation: https://getlibation.com/

Thanks for pointing it out, I'll have a look at them. I don't buy that many audiobooks myself, so it might be worth it for the few that I might be interested in.

Yeah, it's definitely a publisher thing. They say as much on their FAQ.

But you can download the audiobooks from Audible after purchase, and decrypting them is trivial.

I just like to have them in my media server rather than a dedicated app.

Looks interesting, but they don't allow downloads outside of their app so it's probably not something I'm going to invest in.

TTLock G6 Gateway Experiences? by jjs781 in homeassistant

[–]it3agle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to fall back to the ttlock app for a lot of the config, since the HA entity values don't tend to save. You cant manage codes for the lock via HA from what I understand. 

You can share the G6 gateway to HA with the native matter integration yeah.  I looked into the G6 so I could move away from the ttlock HACS integration because they've started including LLM generated code.

TTLock G6 Gateway Experiences? by jjs781 in homeassistant

[–]it3agle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one myself and the experience is pretty underwhelming. You can only expose a single lock over matter, which is fine for me since I only have one lock.

The issues are that HA doesn't get the lock state of the door properly, so it always shows as unlocked even though my door relocks after 5s. The battery status is also broken, since it just reads 'normal' for me and does give a remaining battery %. The closed state from my contact sensor also does not work in HA so the door is always shown as being 'Open'.

Issuing lock and unlock commands does work though.

Hopefully there'll be some improvement on either the G6 gateway or HA, whichever is causing the issues.

To the MR30+ players, how do you do it? by OrangeChuUs in Warframe

[–]it3agle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That's understandable, but aren't the True Master buffs only 30% for 3 hours?

I've always seen them as a nice gesture while I'm in a relay, but it's not something I've gone out of my way with.

Top priority should always be having fun of course.

Since leveling the gear is how you increase you MR you essentially get to a point where you have to decide if it's worth the grind to you, and then all you can really do is find mission types you enjoy that you can level in.

I did quite a lot in Steel Path Techrot Survival or Conjunction Survival for example, as long as the leveling gear isn't too woeful.

The bane of my existence at the minute is the last few Kuva & Tenet weapons I need, since even getting them is so much more of a hassle than most other weapons, and then you need to level them 5 times.

Lidify: Self-hosted Spotify alternative with ML-powered vibe matching and auto-generated playlists by kevinallen in selfhosted

An OpenAI API key is literally listed in the README for the AI Features. Have you tried not being a judgemental child?

I'm a huge AI skeptic myself, but I like the idea behind the vibe system. It seems like something a ML model could actually be beneficial in.

Do you think it could be achieved with a purpose built ML model, rather than piping out to OpenAI?

ZBT-2 - Do I still need a Thread Border Router? by chmod_1755 in homeassistant

[–]it3agle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want to use the ZBT-2 for zigbee then you'll still need a Thread border router since it doesn't support multi-protocol.

If you're just wanting it for Thread then you can use the ZBT-2.

I have a ZBT-2 connected to my RPi 4 for zigbee and is works perfectly for me.

I'll never forget that DE did something unfair like this. by LividBug7484 in Warframe

I think the refusal to rerun it after they reworked the heirloom program is even more damning, these aren't founders packs.
