I gave up on noscript years ago when more and more websites would break unless I allowed dozens of different domains for each, it became too much of a pain to manage. What’s the point if you’re forced to allow it for the page to load anyway? But it has been years, so maybe noscript has evolved to compensate for that?

• You also have to wait 30 seconds to a minute for all the useless javascript to load and get in the way of you trying to find what you are looking for.
• Then you’ll have to dodge an AI chatbot and various buttons for AI features trying to trick you into clicking them.

notice how literally no american ever talks about the U.S. civil war with “the North invaded the South”

“War of Northern Aggression” anyone?

What’s France doing in red? That’s like the ONE invasion for which people had no complaints 😂 More nazi punching and less overthrow of democratic governments, please.

I swear it’s gonna load any second now and I’ll be able to do something productive!

Still better than ads, though 😄

Not gonna lie, that vertical alignment is making my brain purr like a kitten

I was going to watch a tuto on how to be more efficient but YouTube is still buffering

Ooh that some clever design! I know some people who just put dishes in regular cupboards before they are fully dry and it always feels like a moldy disaster waiting to happen.

That would be so convenient! Sanitizing pots and bottles in boiling water is a pain. THEY FLOAT. Plus the water is so hard here that after a long bath of boiling water you can barely see through the glass, they are clean but look so dirty 😡

No space for a dishwasher though 😢

Really? Everytime I go to family or friends who have a dishwasher and help with emptying it, the dishes are always at least a bit wet… Maybe everyone I know just has cheap dishwashers 😅 Sanitizing on high heat seems like a great feature to have

doesn’t the cupboard get moldy if you keep putting wet dishes inside?

But how do you dry the dishes once the dishwasher is done? Do you leave them in the dishwasher to dry, which mean that you can’t add new dished until it’s all dry and you’ve emptied it? Do you let them dry on a counter? But in that case where do you find enough space? Or do you put the wet dishes in your cupboards even though it’ll trap moisture in there? Or do you manually wipe the dishes with towels like some crazy people do?

There are things you are better not knowing 😭 😭 😭

audiobookshelf is actually getting there for ebook support :

Any file with an extension EPUB, PDF, CBR, CBZ, AZW3, MOBI is considered an “ebook file”.

AZW3 and MOBI ebook files have limited support and do not keep your progress.

https://www.audiobookshelf.org/guides/ebooks/

What audiobookshelf is really amazing at is not requiring a strict naming scheme, unlike jellyfin it supports lots of different ways to name and organise your files, and it tracks modifications to the files (renaming, moving) without having to rescan the whole library like jellyfin (and without leaving behind entries relating to the old paths that don’t correspond to anything anymore, though that should be finally fixed in jellyfin’s next release !)

I would have liked a dedicated ebook server but I’ll probably try using audiobookshelf in the meantime, of all the various ones I tried it’s the best by far. Just missing a “DNF” status to be perfect 🙂

For a media server :

• Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts (for podcasts it can fetch them online from a RSS link and download them, you don’t need to manually download them)
• Jellyfin for films, series and music (for music you can use jellyfin as backend and another app as frontend if you don’t like jellyfin’s music player, a lot of people find it lacking)
• Komga for reading comics and manga (there’s also Kavita but I haven’t tried it)
• Komf for fetching metadata for comics with Komga or Kavita
• Suwayomi Server for manga (it doesn’t only act as a reader, with extensions it can find manga online and download them; it can sync your reading progress with AniList, and it’s compatible with Tachiyomi if you need that)
• Haven’t found one yet for ebooks. I passionately hate Calibre and wouldn’t touch it again with a 10 foot pole, but a lot of people swear by it so you might give it a try and see whether you love it or hate it (it’s usually one of the two). Be warned though, it will automatically rename all your books and sort them in subfolders in a very stupid way, making it difficult to find anything again manually. So if you want to test it, do it on a copy of your ebooks first, that way if you don’t like it you won’t be stuck with everything in your ebook library renamed weirdly (speaking from experience -_-).

Cloud :

• Nextcloud : your very own locally hosted Cloud.

Everything can be run in docker containers so your distro or even OS doesn’t matter.

Hardware :

• Personally I run everything from my NAS in docker containers but it’s starting to get overloaded so I’m planning to make a dedicated media server on a cheap mini PC like a refurbished Dell OptiPlex SFF.
• You could also go for something like an OrangePi or RaspberryPi if you don’t mind using ARM.

OH GOD THAT SMILE WILL HAUNT MY NIGHTMARES 😱 😱 😱
