Saaaame. Only thing I can think of is a server to download the podcasts, then some kind of ML/AI/LLM chicanery to transcribe, ID and timestamp the sponsor segments? Then chop it out with ffmpeg?

Edit: looks like Podgrab can download the files, the rest might be doable with a bit of scripting.

Antennapod lets you customize how far your fast forward button skips ahead.

It also works on mobile! But it’s not optimized yet, so there’s no downloading afaik. You have to copy out of it.

Omnivore.app is probably the best replacement for Pocket that I’ve found at the moment, it’s open source and has excellent Logseq and Obsidian plugins that allow you to download the articles to your devices.

From there it depends on what kind of reader you’re using and software you have on it. Probably the most straightforward would be to use Calibre to convert the markdown file generated by either the Logseq or Obsidian plugins to an epub and add it to your library like a book. KOreader can read markdown files natively if you have it on your device, but you’d have to use a third party sync service to get it on there as there’s no plugin for omnivore. It does have a wallabag plugin and a cloud storage plugin (only Dropbox, FTP, and WebDAV are supported) but I haven’t tested those.

Oh man now I want to do this lol

Seriously, sometimes I wish we could get all the shitty execs and politicians alone in a room with all of us and just insult them for their shitty behavior, like the Chevy Chase comedy central roast.

I mean who wouldn’t want to see the expression on the head of Nestle’s face when he’s told his mother should have swallowed?

Yuuup. Fuck their “features” with a rusty shovel.

Oh god the ui is so bad. Like what’s so hard about multiple lenses that they can’t have a single zoom slider?

Well color me shocked.

I got signed out after my home instance upgraded, but that’s all I had to deal with when it updated.

As of the latest version (v0.4.0-alpha04) autocorrect isn’t implimented yet. Here’s what I get when I open the settings:

Waiting on that myself.

Of course not, why would anything useful make it through one of Google’s"upgrades"?

There isn’t much more you can do to streamline that workflow for ebooks, though the default Calibre library filesystem of subfolders by author makes it frustrating if your library is large and the books author is towards the end of the alphabet.

My new workflow (which is my old workflow but it’s been broken since Calibre companion was bought by some asshole) is use syncthing to sync your calibre autoimport folder, then use the Calibre reading list plugin to upload it to your device next time it connects.

For my reading app I use KOreader, it will allow you to connect to Calibre as a wireless device and let you browse your OPDS server if you have it enabled. Also it’s available on basically anything.

I eventually intend to host my Calibre library on my server and run it through a reverse proxy so I don’t have to worry about being connected to my home network for updated, but that’s a bit further down the road lol.

Second the litter robot. I had a pet safe automatic litterbox for years and this one blows that out of the water.

The way I organized my setup was using a file structure like this:

• Videos
  • Movies
  • TV

My media player and torrent client have access to the videos directory, and Radarr and Sonarr have access to their respective directories. The *arrs add the files to the torrent client with the destination being their respective directories, and upon completion it triggers a media player library re-index. This way you can seed and stream concurrently.

I printed off one of these YEARS ago, they’re pretty cool! I wonder if I still have it somewhere.

At first glance that seems possible, looks like sutty.nl is the requirement. It just looks like they already have a plugin for Jekyll.

Thank goodness lol. That was tragic.

Honor Harrington books in the Baen free library were what got me into ebooks!

I would assume they’re talking about the old federal assault weapons ban ruling?
