I would recommend audiobookshelf for the audiobooks, especially if you have your stuff running in docker. It seemed to me like the solutions to force Plex or jellyfin to do books were a bit more hacky than I wanted.

No clue about specific deals but I’ll share a site that I found thanks to Lemmy that had some good deals when I upgraded to an 18tb HDD for $180 USD.

They said 24 hours not 80, lol.

Painting was behind glass, the point is that in a climate change hellscape all this precious art is in danger. If all the people who read about a painting they’ve never heard of before get angry about “paint being thrown at it” they’ll really hate what’ll happen with extreme weather in a climate disaster.

No, we have rules on fair use and derivative works. Sometimes they fall on one side, sometimes another.

Yes! I knew it had to be mustard, didn’t think to check his nebula thank you!

This was a project by the soviets in the 80s as well. I know there is a well produced YouTube video on the subject, but sadly it must be named something incomprehensible like “the forgotten Russian project to turn night into day.” Because I can’t fucking find it.

Here’s a Smithsonian article instead. here

Got an 18tb from serverpartdeals for 160 I think.

You won’t even have to ask if they use Linux, they’ll tell you.

Nobara btw.

YAMS.

Not perfect, but if you just want the ding dang thing to start so you can see what a working setup looks like, then bam. Use yams.

My lemmy app decided to not show me this reply, but that is already something I was thinking about but hadn’t looked into where to start. It looks like that will actually be perfect to just install and go so thank you!

Nice, I actually used this to make a nice time of reading manga and comics on my surface with tachiyomi. Now I have to find a different workflow.

I use Display Fusion to handle my multiple monitors, I’m at work so can’t check; but, I believe it may let you use different folders per monitor.

I’m an adult, I can do what I want.

I use Kavita for my comic book collection, and recently added some books into it as well. Syncs well across devices. I don’t really read books as I have so much time to listen to them instead but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work for someone who does.

I’m a metal head, so these will be in a similar vein, though there is techno and more relaxed stuff at the end. Might add links if I remember later:

Chon, Animals as leaders, Polyphia, Plini, Syncatto, Intervals, Meganeko, Broke For Free
