Haha I get that. I was the same way for a long time but gave them another shot a year or so ago and now I'm hooked. They are so much more convenient than physical books

Nice, it sounds like you're learning stuff just fine. I recommended it elsewhere in the comments here but if you're looking for audiobook sources I suggest checking out libro.fm. They give half of your purchase price to a local bookstore of your choice and you can download the files in multiple formats with no DRM.

Libro.fm seems to be a solid paid service. They give half of your purchase price to a local bookstore of your choice and you can download the files in multiple formats with no DRM.

Old people who don't go to parks because there are children and brown people there like to see grass and trees too.

Set up audiobookshelf via docker. I like using portainer to manage docker containers because it has a GUI. Command line stuff is more difficult if you don't have the background experience to go with it. I think doing it all in a GUI feels more comfortable for most people.

Docker can also be kind of intimidating if you are just wading into the self hosting world but it really is much simpler to use once you get the hang of it. Portainer helps a ton with that. Audiobookshelf would be great to start with both imo because it's a pretty basic set up. You have to define a storage location for your library and config files and that's about all it takes to get it up and running.

I recently got into all this and remember well what it was like to feel out of my element so feel free to ask questions if you have any. I'm no expert but I'm happy to share what I can.

I hope so. I want to be on all the lists but not bad enough to use reddit or FB.

She was as tall as a 7 year old Norwegian pine sapling exposed to ideal soil and water conditions and he was as tall as a female giraffe's asshole.

The socialist is the guy attempting to take a wood saw to the railroad track?

That is quite literally what happened, yes

I have no doubt that many people died in German concentration camps making very similar claims about how to reinvigorate the opposition to the Nazis and what would happen after the next election. Hopefully your pontificating turns out differently than theirs did.

Did you? I can't tell wtf is happening

 

Can we add the option to exclude communities and/or posts that are in a different language than our chosen default? I'm guessing filtering communities would be easier than individual posts but I'm not sure how language would be flagged. I understand some people may want to see some of these posts but even multilingual people must be bombarded with posts in languages they don't speak. I'm getting pretty annoyed that half of my feed is stuff I can't read.

I've looked through the settings multiple times but I suppose it's still possible this already exists and I just missed it.
