My family hosts a modest Audiobookshelf server. When we tried to move from our old Plex server to ABS it was a nightmare. Our library had been built slowly over years and file organization/metadata was a mess. It took us several tools and many hours to get everything in decent shape. I was frustrated that nobody had made a single tool to scrub and clean up an audiobook library. So, I made one!

Notable features:

• Fetch new metadata interactively from Audible or Goodreads
• Generate metadata files
• Recursively find and process files
• Combine chapter files into a single book file
• Convert files to .m4b

This is my first foray into an open source project. I know it's not pretty, and many of the features on my initial wishlist never got finished. But I have the core functionality working enough for my needs, which means I've been putting a lot less time into it. I decided to just release it to the world as is. May it save you much time!

The megathread has lots of great options for aggregators, but doesn't have any individual scanlation groups (Asura scans, Drake scans, Dragon tea, etc). Those are great for broad coverage, but when possible I like to read directly from the group that put in the work to translate.

Running joplin and memos in docker, routed through nginx. Since I don't own a domain I'm just using my public ip with ports and port forwarding. Joplin was throwing the same invalid origin error, but worked after I set APP_BASE_URL: http://<IP>:<port>. I tried setting SITE_URL=http://<IP>:<port2> under environment, which I've read is supposed to fix this exact problem. Same error. The error displays the correct address including port number, so I know that's being passed correctly. I've tried several different variations of the Host, Origin, and Referer header without success. Just for fun I tried directly exposing <port2> on the memos instance and it opened right up in the browser.

PS: Yes, I know I should be using https. I'm lazy. Setting up a cert is on the old todo list.

I picked day one up as a journaling app many years ago, and have enjoyed it. But I've now mostly left the apple ecosystem and I'm ready for a new solution. An important feature to me is the calendar view that both shows you what days you have entries for and allows you to see previous year's entries on a day. The lack of this feature knocks out the most recommended alternatives on this community (joplin, obsidian, and logseq come to mind). Journey cloud and diarium are strong picks, but I'd prefer non proprietary and stronger self hosting support. Along with better platform availability. Memoria is also in consideration, but the documentation is pretty light and it's hard to tell if it will function in the way I expect. Likewise with memos, which I've seen suggested on here.

Needs:

• Usable on linux (I can live with a web app)
• Calendar view showing days with entries
• Encryption
• Cloud sync functionality (no local only apps like rednotebook)

Nice to haves:

• Proper app for linux, android, ios
• Ability to import a day one backup, preserving my 5 or so years of journal history
• FOSS
• Selfhostable
• Support for media (primarily photos)
• Prompts for password on every launch
• Equivalent to "on this day" feature allowing you to view previous entries on a day

My PC has an X570 auros master, and it has always had a hard time sleeping. When I let it sleep on any operating system the top row of USB 2.0 ports goes out, and sometimes it hangs and can't wake at all. My preference would be to fix this issue, if possible. My current operating system is garuda (arch based), but I also have a KDE neon and win 11 machine installed if needed.

If it's an issue without a good solution, I need to know how to protect my monitors from burn in and other runtime related wear without sleeping the PC. I tried the settings that turns off the screens without suspending, but when I woke them only one made it back up and the mouse couldn't reach it, which makes me think the machine was frozen. I'm aware of and open to other solutions like a screensaver program or messing with DPMS. But I would prefer a more straightforward and integrated solution if possible.

Running android 14, oneUI v6.1.1. I go to filesystem expose > add storage location in the connect app, but I can't figure out a way to path to videos. Maybe that's considered a protected system folder and hidden or something? I notably can't manually type a path, so even having that may not help. I need a way to get there via the GUI.

I'm sorting and renaming old video files, and one of the pieces of information I need is the date the video was filmed. By default dolphin shows the date the file was created/modified/accessed, but not shot. I have verified this information exists on the file with the MediaInfo app, which shows what I need under the encoded and tagged dates. Is there a way to have dolphin also show that information for video files? Bonus points if it can convert the default timezone of the stamps (UTC) to local.

And yes, I am aware that I could create a custom script for the context menu that would find me that info. I may do that if needed. But I wanted to see if doing it this way works first.

Basically title, looking for a good OSS to play audiobooks from a Plex server

lemmy.studio and sopuli.xyz are not populating for me. Probably soft blocked? Also, it may be worth opening and pinning a megathread for this topic so the community doesn't get spammed.

edit 10/15: sopuli has started working, studio is still not showing
