  • Maybe FreshRSS with some extensions?
    I saw a recent commit to fire an event when saving a favorite, so probably you can get an extension to send the link to something like archivebox for the pages you favorite.

    I’ve just fiddled with an already created extension, but they seem fairly simple to create your own easily.
    Of course you can inject JS so you could make it more complex if you want.










  • Why do you need the files in your local?
    Is your network that slow?

    I’ve heard of multiple content creators which have their video files in their NAS to share between their editors, and they work directly from the NAS.
    Could you do the same? You’ll be working with music, so the network traffic will be lower than with video.

    If you do this you just need a way to mount the external directory, either with rclone or with sshfs.


    The disks on my NAS go to sleep after 10 minutes idle time and if possible I would prefer not waking them up all the time

    I think this is a good strategy to not put additional stress in your drives (as a non-expert of NAS), but I’ve read the actual wear and tear of the drives is mostly during this process of spinning up and down. That’s why NAS drives should be kept spinning all the time.
    And drives specifically built for NAS setups are designed with this in mind.




  • Yes, most podcasts are hosted outside of your podcast player and distributed via RSS (even if this is Spotify which already hosts music).
    So when a service has the podcast it means it lists the response from the RSS feed, but usually they just copy the text data, including the URL where the actual audio is stored.
    This audio is served by whatever other service the creator of the podcast uses, which means you’re a free user to that service even if you pay for Spotify, which means the wonderful benefit of ads.

    And these are ads you can’t block since they’re included in the audio stream (yay! /s).
    Podverse (the player I use) mentions this as an issue when creating clips of the podcasts because they can’t know how much the timestamp has been offset by those ads, so your clip probably only sounds good to you.

    I use rclone and duplicati depending on the needs of the backup.

    For long term I use duplicati, it has a GUI and you can upload it to several places (mines are spread between e2 and drive).
    You configure the backend, password for encryption, schedule, and version retention.

    rclone, with the crypt submodule, you use it to mount your backups as am external drive, so you need to manually handle the actual copy of the data into it, plus versioning and retention.






  • I’ve only played P5 and currently P5R.
    The RPG part is amazing, the story, combat, dungeon crawling, interactions, etc, and all the other comments people had already made.

    My only con for it would be the strictness of the schedule to do the story. Yeah, it’s also an interesting part of the game which differs from other RPGs, but it’s frustrating you might permanently lose something because you planned it a bit off or selected the wrong dialog option with a confidant so you don’t have enough points which makes you have to spend an extra day with them to increase their rank.
    Either you follow a guide or you accept the idea of missing some parts of the history.

    And even then with a guide I think I might as well not experience everything since I won’t go to visit some of the places to hang out with confidants, only the main ranks and that’s it.

    Also, you can’t focus on finishing a confidant because I think all of them have some requirement, or they are not available that day, so you need to do other stuff.
    For example, Yoshida is only available Sundays, Kawakami IIRC is also only the last days of the week, but not weekends and only during the evening.

    But I plan to also play P3 and P4 since the stories are so good.


    My recommendation for the next post would be series of Monster Hunter, Paper Mario, or Kingdom Rush.
