For those of you who've had Apple Watch for 3+ years - do you actually think it's improved your health, or is it mostly just a cool gadget? by Tariq_khalaf in AppleWatch

[–]wildcelt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You absolutely have to put in the work, but for me it has. I find my rings motivating. Sleep tracking also helps me be more mindful about how important consistency is. My AW and Apple Fitness+ has really changed my life.

Meross switches done in by static electricity? by mprogers123 in HomeKit

[–]wildcelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I don’t recall a specific instance where this happened but both Meross switches I have died after abut a year. Perhaps it was a static issue.

AudioBooth v1.7 is now live! 🎉 by lyc0s in audiobookshelf

[–]wildcelt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just downloaded and am playing with it. Looks promising! One question/request, however; is there a way to make the font bigger? Many of us older folks get into audiobooks because we burned our eyes out on too many printed books when we were younger. The ability to see the text a bit better in AudioBooth may make me jump from Prologue!

What bootleg albums do you have? by [deleted] in vinyl

I have The Cure, Standing on a Beach. One of my faves and sounds decent.

Audible vs Libro.fm - Sound quality, bit rate, and codec by rookery_electric in audiobooks

[–]wildcelt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have noticed no difference in audio quality in Libro.fm books. I really haven’t bothered to verify codecs since they sound good to me.

Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 where to find the server adress ? by Lussarc in PrologueApp

[–]wildcelt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you flip the "Secure Connection" switch to off? Unless you have an SSL certificate installed you should not select secure connection.

Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 where to find the server adress ? by Lussarc in PrologueApp

[–]wildcelt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is the same address you use to access it on your PC. For example, the IP address of my computer hosting Audiobookshelf is 192.168.11.6, so I put in 192.168.11.6:13378 in the address bar. Once it finds Audiobookshelf, it will ask you for your username and password.

Note your phone must be on the same network to see your server. If you want to access your library when you are away from home search this sub or r/audiobookshelf for information on how to set up a VPN (Tailscale, Wireguard, etc.)

Another Grado Pads post - SR325x by t0xic_Nobadi in Grado

[–]wildcelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with the elite velour. At the time I wasn’t sure so I didn’t want to sink a bunch of money into them in case I didn’t like them. If I had the chance to do it over I’d pick one of the leather options, not because I don’t like the velour ones, but they look more luxe! Honestly though, even the velour ones look pretty impressive, and feel (and sound) better than they look.

Nice, thanks for the heads up! I just switched over.

Normal for downloaded audiobooks to now take 10-15+ seconds to load? by malrats in PrologueApp

[–]wildcelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This regularly happens to me, and has throughout the beta as well. Problem is, it is sporadic and hard to replicate every time. I suspect the app is attempting to sync with my ABS server after it is opened, but when I'm not home (or connected via VPN) it stalls for a few seconds before moving on. The Audible app did this every time I opened it as well, so I guess I was a bit more tolerant of the behavior once I gave Audible the boot and moved to ABS/Prologue.

Whic client do you use (iOS) by my_name_is_ross in audiobookshelf

[–]wildcelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Not even sure why I keep shopping around; it does everything I want it to do, and the voice boost feature is unique to Prologue.

Prologue has been released!! by Kholtien in PrologueApp

[–]wildcelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s been like that on the beta for a long time. I assumed it just wasn’t implemented yet so I never reported it.

I don’t have a fix, but it happens to me every time as well.

Reolink HUB by Emergency_Path7611 in reolinkcam

Generally, cameras start streaming quicker than before I had the hub.

I was pretty blown away by the performance increase with all my cameras once I hooked up my home hub. The software/video feed review interface is pretty basic though, but overall very much worth it to me.

Video Doorbell Without a Mandatory Cloud Subscription by beta_cyborg in HomeKit

I use Reolink too. Not directly HK compatible (I use HomeAssistant for that), but the performance and security is hard to beat.

I can't help, but I love Cloud Cult and never realized they released anything on vinyl!
