This doesn’t support podcast libraries, so it’s not really usable for me, unfortunately.

The biggest complaint I have about the official app is that it doesn’t automatically continue to the next episode when playing podcasts.

What kind of prick is taking a Teams call while driving?

So many people, mainly management and C levels in my experience. My CITO (and the one before him) do it all the time, as well as tons of customer contacts. At least once a month I’m on a conference call where someone is driving.

It doesn’t matter how well you can tank the enemy nukes when yours alone still fuck the climate and ruin the biosphere.

But yeah, some numpty with their head up their ass probably plans on ruling over the ashes.

heh, and republicans are going to lose their fucking minds when they start to see the consequences of the choices their leaders made. Like when fruit is like $10/lb because its all rotting in the fields because everyone who normally picked it is locked in a border concentration reeducation camp.

Too bad we have to live with the consequences of their choices too.

Not with the rate we have school shootings

I wrote a media conversion script a decade ago to do that for me, but upkeep was annoying when something like FileFlows makes it stupid easy to accomplish.

I still have that script somewhere… I bet I’ll cringe reading it lol. Still, it’s a great learning experience.

I’ve tried to use the playlist feature on my device a couple of times, but I still had to manually start the next episode. I might try again and see if I can figure it out.

Edit: no change in behavior sadly. Created a playlist and hit play, still had to select the next episode. Played the same playlist from the web client and it goes to the next episode, but headset controls don’t work.

Yes, the android app is my preferred method of accessing my server. It works great, other than on rare occasions when it gets killed in the background for some reason, and my complaint about playlists from the previous comment is a much bigger irritation, but a very minor complaint.

Podcasts are my primary use case (my partner uses audiobooks exclusively), and while it works rather well, I want to put in the caveat that there’s no working playlist functionality in the app, and IME headset controls don’t work from FF for Android.

That’s not a deal breaker for me, but it was a massive disappointment when I switched over. But the lack of playlist functionality in the app only annoys me when I want to follow one of the shorter news feeds, since I have to stop and select the next track every 5 min as the episode ends. No issue with that feed from the browser, so meh.

Works great through my reverse proxy/cloudflare tunnel setup, so not too many actual complaints.

I felt the same way as you initially when I got into the genre, but Between the Buried and Me made me develop and appreciation for growling vocals. They’ve got a lot of really intricate and technical guitar work, which is what made me keep listening.

For (mostly) entirely instrumental track, animals as leaders is good, and I absolutely love Polyphia (they play at different times signatures for an interesting sound), and Power Glove is amazing if you like metal covers of video game music.

As for genres, look into symphonic and progressive metal bands, they might be more your style.

Why do you think that because a person could do something they necessarily will?

I don’t, but in this case, we know it’s not because they got rid of that option. Why? Because the task is infeasible to support. Kinda like you’ve been arguing against this entire time in the face of multiple reasons why people aren’t doing it.

You’re far from the first person to want this, and the devs no longer offer it as a supported method for a reason after all. No one is saying it is impossible, just not something that’s feasible to create and support. This really should not be this hard of a concept to understand.

Well, yeah. Especially when you’ve already been given reasons why it isn’t. But clearly you know better than the devs or people familiar with the product.

So then it isn’t actually that feasible then, otherwise you’d do more than just whine about it on the Internet. Especially when there are valid reasons to not support that method.

Tools like restic and Borg and so critical that you will regret not having had them sooner.

I just experienced this when a little mini PC I bought <2y ago cooked its nvme and died this month. Guess who has been meaning to set up backups on that guy for months?

Unfortunately, that nvme is D. E. D. And even more unfortunately, that had a few critical systems for the local network (like my network controller/DHCP). Thankfully it was mostly docker containers so the services came up pretty easy, but I lost my DBs so configs and data need to be replicated :(

The first task on the new box was figuring out and automating borg so this doesn’t happen again. I also set up backups via my new proxmox server, so my VMs won’t have that problem too.

Now to do the whole ‘actually testing the backups’ thing.

Then do if for your distribution then. It’s clearly not that difficult, you’ve all but explicitly stated as much.

More or less the same setup, only I used the frigate HA integration to access the feeds. Was very nice up until the machine running frigate cooked the nvme.

Then go do it.

I’m running HA too, but I’m rocking zigbee stuff with a bit of zwave for outside stuff. Works so well (when I properly program it anyway 🤣)!

And it’s generally a similar, though thicker, consistency.

I’ve been considering adding a wireless door lock to my place, but my home automation platform is entirely self hosted and doesn’t reach out to the net for basically anything.
