  • Other than linking in the filesystem as Grippler said (took me a while to understand soft and hard links on linux but they’re soo useful); you can create categories with a default location (e.g. /qbt/-TV, /qbt/-Films), so you only need to pick a category when adding a torrent, and “Automatic Management mode” should save it to the right folder automagically. Also if you don’t like the names you can rename both items in the torrent list and/or their corresponding foldernames and filenames, I do all this from qbittorrent (probably doable with other software as well).





  • There are free services that allow you to create countless emails, one per site is ideal, just like one (different) password per site. Addy and Simplelogin have a generous free tier, last I checked the first one allows for unlimited receive-only addresses (when shopping it’s very rare you need to respond), the second gives you some two-way addresses.

    If you get a domain, many registrars include free mail service, and have mail forwarding, or “redirecting”, which basically will allow you to create countless addresses (that can also send/respond) for your one account (You add these “email forwards”, or “Identities”, to your app of choice, like K9-Mail for android). You don’t necessarily need to buy their separate email package (although the interface might be more convenient). I’ll give you one example which includes email: OVHcloud, one of the largest clouds in europe.

    If you can afford it there are all-in-one services like Soverin with easier interface.

    It might be wise to start a slow process of migrating (or maybe deleting and creating again) accounts, and saving all this stuff in a password manager (like KeepassXC) if you aren’t already.







  • Recently wanted to try KDE 6 on my second laptop and after being pissed off at the lack of encryption with Void installer (gotta do it manually, have done it in the past but I’m lazy), another fail with NixOs (known bug with encryption in the latest stable installer) the easiest way was installing Arch lol.

    I used archinstall as suggested, just answer questions, no manual voodoo incantation required. You can do it.


  • 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.



  • 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.
