Firefox can edit existing pdf text?

What others are there? This is the first I know of!

Argosy has to be vibe coded because while the UI appears very polished it is the most confusing and inconsistent piece of software I’ve ever used.

If you’re using Frigate with docker you could route the container through a gluetun container.

You’re backing up 4tb for $6/mo? I looked into B2 for a 2tb drive and it was double that.

No need for an alternative, it can be self hosted and (for now) the original repo is still up: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter

Oh nice,for some reason I thought that was only the 5. Surprised we haven’t seen more media center OS for it besides Kodi which is pretty meh these days.

I’m assuming you have a CEC dongle or use second remote?

I love Low Tech magazine! I have been reading them for years.

When I tried it I got the feeling it’s more for people looking to backup/archive entire YouTube channels than those (such as myself) basically just having what is functionally an RSS feed of most recent videos released this week (for example).

But like I said, it’s absolutely great at what it does I just found it waaaay too complicated than the simple “use jellyfin as a YouTube app replacement” I was looking for.

tubearchivist is great but probably overkill for someone just looking to subscribe and watch with Plex/Jellyfin instead of the YouTube app.

AudiobookShelf is great. One of the most polished self hosted apps out there and has a lot of great features that are lesser known (like converting to m4a)

Pardon my ignorance but isn’t that exactly what Inoreader and Feedly do?

How do you ping a location update? I’ve tried sending the hidden sms that’s supposed to do is but it only seems to work about 25% of the time, and I have to run the actual location check like 3-4 minutes later

There was a Ted Talk a while back (I can’t remember who) where they said “I have always wanted to give a Ted Talk… but when I got selected to do this I realized that what I really wanted was to say I had given a Ted Talk”. Meaning they want to be known as someone who had given a Ted Talk, not actually go through the process of writing and delivering the Talk.

People who write open source code do it because they like the process of writing, just like an author enjoys writing books. LLMs are for people who just want to be able to say they have written a book. People who slop-code aren’t actually interested in learning how to code. Which is a fine toy for them to play with, but not sustainable (or reliable for others to use).

I’ve seen that but it’s a weird vibe coded app and doesn’t actually work

ShelfMark is the go-to option now. It’s also far better than Readarr was and works seamlessly with both Prowlarr and Anna’s Archive.

I think CWA is the most robust option out there. BookLore was vibecoded and behaved in the typical weird/unexpectedly way vibecoded apps tend to. I haven’t tried the Fork of it, but CWA checks nearly all the boxes and is actively developed.

I wish ABS synced progress between formats with KOReader!

IIRC those updates were a series of bugfixes after a major update, which seems to be how they prefer to work.
