Ripping myself is what I did with Libation as suggested here. You log into your audible account when starting the software for the first time, your libary is shown and you can start to download.

When adjusting the auto tagging then audiibookshelf automatically sorts the stuff in the correct way with series etc.

Perfect combination and totally free.

Not for ripping but to serve your books and for the selfhosters among us use audiobookshelf.

Really great piece of software

I am not familiar with the Apt series but CoT was the first book I read from this author and was blown away.

Although the first part started slow and monologues still happen frequently but the idea and the plot pulled me forward. While I didn’t felt he recapped much.

My other suggestion, Peter F. Hamilton is the totally oposite direction when it comes to jumping between places / characters. Sometimes between paragraphs and not at chapters end or page ends.

Still after one sentence you know exactly where you are in the plot. Even when his books throw different characters at you like popcorn.

If you have a lot of time and an urge to read:

• Peter F. Hamilton - void trilogy - space opera
• Brandon Sanderson - the stormlight archives - epic fantasy
• Adrian Tchaikovsky - children of time series - sci-fi

Check if you can get your hands on an ebook reader, if you don’t have already. The reading experience from the eye view side is similar to reading books and in addition you can increase the font size. It is superior to reading on a screen.

Rclone can do this for you.

No reverse proxy. In LAN everything is seen and accessible.

No port is open to WAN, I connect via my router VPN from extern.

I use unpriveliged LXC für everything I have running in my proxmox.

Plex, syncthing, rclone, motioneye, pyload all in seperate Lxc on the boot drive.

All data of those is on my mirror raid, including the lxc backups. The rclone lxc backs the important data onto my cloud drive.

If you are able to translate or German is your thing check this page out https://www.elefacts.de/test-153-nas_basic_2.1__mini_itx_eigenbau_nas_mit_4x_sata_und_passiver_4_kern_cpu

At the end of the page there are 4 build links shown. Starter to expert. I went the basic model route. They also describe the different NAS OS systems, I chosed proxmox.

If your concern is booting USB for unraid the
solution is to sacrifice at least one of your drives
as a boot drive, or if you have the room get a pair
of small SAS drives and configure a raid 1 vol in
the perc controller.

AFAIK the USB is the dongle that unraid runs at all. You have to boot from it. After the boot its loaded into the RAM. But without the USB drive you cannot boot at all.

That is why I followed the proxmox route.

Penises C and D no longer clip through some
githyanki clothing.

Finally the important stuff is addressed.

I got motioneye running on my server and the app on our phones

Dishonered, the drunken sailor cover goose bumbs still after all those years.

As ITX was already mentioned I just built mine using Fractal Node 304 case, in black though. You could keep the ATX power supply.

Thats basically the way I do it.

pvesh get /cluster/resources --output-format json-pretty | jq --arg k "lxc/$container_id" -r 'map(select(.id == $k))[].name, map(select(.id == $k))[].mem, map(select(.id == $k))[].maxmem, map(select(.id == $k))[].cpu')

Example using pvesh in proxmox. The data is available, just have to use it. I also prefer barebone approach.

Nice, will take a look into it

Does zabbix use a database continuously polling and storing data or is live data used for indication and/or triggers?

I ran a NSLU2 with custom firmware and a mumble server on it. We used it to talk during online gaming without the need for teamspeak etc.
Played BF3 mostly.

Those where the days

Edit: clarification

My paranoid me has no concerns in regards to Linux but I am running pyload in an LXC under proxmox to download you know what for my Windows PC.

So before using the files I would like to have them checked.

Therefore I just finished my setup.

Debian 12 LXC unprivileged, running pyload through openvpn tunnel. clamav does daily checks in the download directory and sends me an email if anything is found.

Depends, in proxmox using ZFS mirror using two drives it goes degraded when missing one.

But would use it carefully tbh as it is all that’s left over in that case. If there is no external backup.

I just built a Server almost using the same parts. Its the ASRock J5040 board, 16gb ram (yes it works) a 500gb m.2 as system using a PCI adapter , 2x4tb ironwolf as ZFS mirror pool, 350 W power supply all in the node 304 fractal case for 550 euro.

Runs proxmox as hypervisor for VM or Container. As example LXC running container for motioneye, jellyfin, pyload with openvpn and syncthing.
