It was nearly 20 years ago that he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution. Over 20 years ago that the investigation of that incident began.

The initial investigation found more than 30 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 with similar accounts of sexual abuse.

Its mind boggling to think that he ended up in a plea deal and only got a year and a half in prison. Anyone he ever came into contact with after that should have been immediately questioned.

For docker, use compose, and map it all to one spot with subdirectories, and also map the config for the service to a spot on your disk/nas.

I put them in one spot on my NAS under services, so it looks like:

/services/service_name/docker-compose.yml /services/service_name/config/

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Git.

I write everything in markdown, and sync to my personal repo (backed up locally and as part of an encrypted backup elsewhere), which also goes to my personal codeberg in a private repo.

Passwords are maintained in a dedicated keepass db, also backed up elsewhere in the same fashion.

Config files themselves are always stored on my NAS in a symlinked or mapped directory, but primarily mapped since its (almost) all containers. These also get backed up the same way.

So as long as I structure my NAS/mapping the same way, everything else works the same way, no matter where its hosted. I do all my addressing by dhcp reservation so IP config is all in one place, and I have a local cert so everything is referenced by hostname.

Makes this all pretty easy to document imo, though the only one who will ever read it is me. I'm also in the middle of changing up auth, so I'll get to redo a good chunk of it, but I really only need to change configs.

... I'm lazy. I only like doing something once.

Good display has a round 1.65" color eink that includes:

Red, Bule, Green, Yellow, Black and White

Hopefully their product QA/QC is better than the marketing side.

The prices are low, with the 7.5" touch display with front light under $50, 10.3" under $150, and the 13.3" under $360. I say "under" because they show a sale price, but the price I note is the full according to the page.

$60 for the rest of the hardware according to free-ink makes these all good options pricewise, plus the cost of a proper case. I'd probably do one out of wood personally, I feel like that would be both fun and look really good.

Overall a cool project, I'm going to have to check it out some more later.

Considering your comment at the end, please add the [CBH] tag to the title please.

PMOS is probably broken for it, so I'd probably lean toward lineageos.

Perfectly fine, doesn't change my question or that others may benefit from being aware.

I don't do DRM, so the majority of my workflow is simplified. Download to the correct directory, auto-imported by Calibre and flagged for review of metadata, manually review metadata, convert to epub3 (even if its v3 to v3, I've removed wonky behavior before by doing so), export to appropriate directory for the OPDS server.

Basically the same for audiobooks, but dropped into the directory for AudioBookShelf.

What phone do you have that the jellyfin app and the jellyamp app are unavailable?

Edit: Also you can support subsonic with jellysub acting as a go-between. Considering its not a music-first solution, I'm not surprised that it doesn't support subsonic natively, personally.

Edit 2: Its unmaintained but works as of the last time I tried it out, fwiw. It isnt exactly a complex codebase either if something got tripped up by minor changes.

Framework fun all over again

 

I don't think there is a workable way to crosspost discussion posts, if I'm wrong feel free to correct me

Hey folks, welcoming some input here on options for a smooth experience.

I have an htpc going with a simple launcher for jellyfin, edu gaming, etc, navigable with the 8bitdo controllers I have connected. What I'd really like to do is some emulation, right now I'm looking at:

  • Nintendo: NES, GB, GBA, DS, 3DS, N64, maybe GC & wii but I haven't tried it
  • Sony: PS1, PS2, Vita, would go with PS3 but I don't quite have the performance on that little box for it...
  • Sega: Genesis, GameGear, maybe others

Probably some more, but we'll leave it there for now.

What I'd like as an end goal:

  • Filtered library based on user (my kids aren't at an age where I'm going to be cool with them playing Mortal Kombat)
  • Local client to run it, romM is really cool but 3DS is a non-starter unfortunately
  • Preferably a single tool to showcase all the roms and make for an easy start experience

Also any thoughts on controllers are welcomed! I have a couple of 8bitdo ultimates, a few random ds3's and knockoffs, NES style 8bitdo from years ago. N64 gaming I haven't had a great experience with, and I think a dance mat, maybe a guitar hero type guitar would be fun. Feel free to make a recommendation on a controller for a specific use, even one I haven't mentioned!

TL;DR: Whats your htpc emulation setup?

So I've got a few Intel compute sticks sitting on my desk here, and I don't know what I want to do with them (aside from throw them out, I'd rather find some value in them if I can).

They are STK1AW32SC, which have the atom x5-Z8330 chips, with a whopping 2gb ram, 32gb emmc, and a microsd slot.

A few things I've considered:

  • Take a few LCDs and the drivers and make a "household front end", basically just point to my locally hosted services (mealie for recipes, hass, etc)
  • Same thing but make it a digital picture frame
  • Compute to point to a magic mirror instance
  • Try out how terrible emulation is on them to make a little game console for the kids thats standalone? They already can use the living room one for that, which is a usff box with a lot more power. So probably not.
  • Automatically boots to rick roll to stick in TVs at my BILs house and drive him nuts?

Open to ideas! I've got tons of machines here, so I really don't need them to do anything - which means the silly and borderline stupid (see rick roll note above) are perfectly acceptable ideas.
