Incessant Excess posted:Kinda niche but if you have a NAS or server then audiobookshelf is kind of a Plex for audiobooks, works pretty well even for people who are not very tech savvy. oh poo poo nice! I'm actually in the process of building a home server so I will definitely use this now that I know about it. thanks!

H110Hawk posted:Seems to work, thanks. Extremely basic which is fine enough for me. Kind of funny that it doesn't use id3 metadata to sort things but tells you to sort them yourself into folders. It does detect the chapters in this m4b which is nice though. No cover art etc. (vlc shows all that but doesn't handle books well. It does show the chapters.) is wireguard not sufficient for accessing your server stuff from outside your network?

so, I have a rooted pixel 6 pro, and currently I use swift backup to backup all my apps and app data to the cloud. this happens on a schedule every morning at 3am because it usually takes an hour or so, and so it's done when I wake up. this works great for me, but recently I went to do a fresh install of lineageOS, and realized that the only way I've been transferring my actual media data (photos, music, podcasts, etc) is to just manually drag the folders on to my computer from my phone, and then drag them back when I'm done. I'm wondering, does anyone here have a nice solution for doing nightly backups of media data that would ideally work the same way swift backups nightly scheduled backup works? I'd imagine something like this is out there and exists, I just don't know about it. I'd like to stay away from Google products and services if possible.

Khablam posted:There's probably a lot of specific tools to do this, but I use syncthing. It's opensource and you can just have it sync A to B with very little effort. does it have the ability to auto sync on a schedule? I've heard of it before (and synctrezor or whatever the other thing is) but I never really dug in to check it out

using Textra, and when I get texts from people, there's a weird string of characters at the end of the message. at first I thought it was someone sending me a message with that in it, but then I got it from a few different people who don't know each other. anyone dealt with this before?

Party Boat posted:Is this the issue you're having? wow very strange....this is the exact issue I'm having. I went to see if my fi app was running (I also have Google Fi) only to find that the app had been entirely disabled, and I had to enable it. I definitely didn't do that myself, so it's very odd. I'll see if turning that app back on fixes the issue though. Thanks!

Just uninstalled the Amazon app and it got rid of that search option. Fine with me since I use the browser on mobile just as easily as the app.

I personally bought and paid for netguard a while back so I use that to do it. I think it has a free version too? But I don't remember because it's been a long rear end time

Flipperwaldt posted:Thanks. Neither option is available to me on this Xioami piece of poo poo. I've tried other vpn loopback apps and the OS kills them overnight, no matter how explicitly you exclude the app from the ridiculous power saver "features". Are those phones locked down or something? That's weird that you can't get it here's a link to the apk? if that helps

Flipperwaldt posted:No, I can get, configure and run the app, but I also know that in the morning, every morning, I'd have to manually restart the app to have it working and that's too much of a faff. I've actually had it installed from F-droid for a few days some time ago, and then an ad blocker that worked that way and another firewall app and just everything that works through a local vpn is killed when the phone goes to sleep. Wtf that's wild. That would really make me doubt that literally anything I was doing on the phone was safe or private.

Flipperwaldt posted:I've got it installed now with both options enabled and it excluded from power saving as far as the system allows. I might have wanted to suppress the permanent notification last time? We'll see. Ah yeah as I was reading this comment I was confused until I got to that second part. I definitely have the options for wifi / network exclusive choice in mine.

Flipperwaldt posted:Following up with the fact that netguard stays working fine overnight now and that my earlier problems must have stemmed from me trying to hide the permanent notification. It's still weird that there are some apps that can have the stay alive benefits of having a permanent notification that is hidden, but not vpns. Tasker and its plugins don't care. Glad at least one thing is working for ya
