Oh sorry, can't think of an easy solution then. I've seen that audiobookshelf can find metadata for you, that could be doable. They also support ebooks but if I understood correctly from their docs they don't get synced to the audio position, just to themselves.

A promising but still in beta software is Storyteller, under very active development here. It works by creating a 'rich' epub that contains the audio synced line by line, which you can then read/listen to with just one app.

There's also older software with a similar approach like syncabook but at a glance it seems less usable than Storyteller.

HDD usually don't have a limited number of writes like SSD do, if they are robust, maybe enterprise units, they can last a long time.

In a home environment some prefer using slower (5400 vs 7200), non-enterprise hard drives, maybe fewer drives with higher capacity, to reduce noise, power consumption and improve cooling (in enterprise settings this stuff is standardized and they don't care about noise, in my custom pc I might have forgotten to use the vibration dampeners or I mounted the disks vertically..every white box is different).

Also there are big differences between different models and makers. If they're cheap enough those helium filled enterprise drives can be one of the best options!

Those big files like .m4b (b stands for book) should have chapters within it, if you open them with mpv on your pc you should be able to see them on the time bar. On Android I've been using Voice, it's really well polished and shows a big chapter name so I usually remember where I was if I switch devices, even if not to the exact minute.

I figured out how to encode to a single m4b in fre:ac so I only use Voice now (or my ipod, which was the reason why I learned how to use fre:ac).

I know you asked for syncing (one day I'll try adding the audiobook plugin to my jellyfin), but this works for me.

If you prefer a folder of files, you can use fre:ac or many other encoders/tools to split them up.

croc is great, works even when devices cant find each other on the network, or with gigantic folders (I use it between computers).

Or Simplex chat, I dont use it to chat but only to quickly share between phone and laptop :)

It's not short for bowling (although it can be expressed like that too), it's the infinitive form of the verb, to bowl. "Have you seen the birds fly?"

Thanks I just tried PassAndroid, pretty slick! I was using KDE Itinerary (way more features and always improving, but not too polished yet) to manage tickets before, now I have an alternative.

Regarding wireguard I always used WG Tunnel from f-droid, I'm looking at the official Wireguard app screenshots and it seems to have the same functionality (easy config import via QR scan, notification shade button), maybe it looks prettier. Not on f-droid, that's why I didn't come across it before.

Hi there, it looks like Journeys is considered the 23rd season of Pokemon (wikipedia says so too), I found it on TMDB: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/60572/season/23

A lazy option to set up a player (what I do a t least), is installing via flatpak Jellyfin Media Player. For android, installing from F-droid.

I was interested in the "non-traditional" fps of Fury Road so here's the relevant part from wikipedia, they actually used less than 24 for most of the movie.

According to Seale, "something like 50 or 60 percent of the film is not running at 24 frames a second, which is the traditional frame rate. It'll be running below 24 frames because George, if he couldn't understand what was happening in the shot, he slowed it down until you could ... Or if it was too well understood, he'd shorten it or he'd speed it up back towards 24. His manipulation of every shot in that movie is intense."[75] The Washington Post noted that the changing frame rate gives the film an "almost cartoonishly jerky" look.[76]

Very well written...this reminded me of Astro City.

I had no idea this was a thing :D I'm reading now a push pin can be used as well. Very mildly interesting!

Awesome! I love this app for its widget, it's very quick to jot down some notes during the day, and you can scroll the note contents from the homescreen.

Together with the Gallery they were my must-haves from Simplemobiletools, now from Fossify
