Might be a bit narrow, but if you wanted to make some pickle spears it should work.

I like to do a fridge pickle (always gets eaten within a few weeks, so spoilage isn’t a huge concern). Something like this pickled jalapeño recipe works with most veggies, and you can use some whole black peppercorn and mustard seeds (or a pickling spice mix) to give it that pickle flavor.

I think I’m OOTL. An ant-fascist statement from them is wonderful, but what is their association to the Potsdam incident referenced in the statement?

Edit: is it just that they are a German company?

I have gotten whole cases of CD-R’s at yard sales and thrift stores. I do not own a single CD-RW. Even when I purchase them, the CD-R’s are so cheap that if I mess up I can just toss the error and still come out ahead. If I needed to overwrite it frequently I would probably just use a different media if available (like a USB drive).

Plexamp is fantastic for music, but does it work well for audiobooks yet? As far as I can tell Plex just does not handle long audio files well.

At the moment I’m using Audiobookshelf (completely separate from my Plex Media Server, but running on the same computer) in a Docker container, but since I don’t yet have a reverse proxy set up it is LAN or downloads only. So, I would be very interested in an answer to this as well.

Edit: I just noticed your post in c/Plex; you may want to include a link to the other post in the body so that people answering can check the other to see if their answer has already been offered.

I have mostly seen it where Yellow and Blue are swapped, but otherwise I agree.

Yoshi until MK8, now Link. Yoshi had the right balance of speed, weight, and cute, but I can’t not use Link.

Specifically for this application, Picroft. It sounds like it might be exactly what they’re looking for. Here is the why-use section. It would be interesting to hear from anybody currently using it.

Until someone with more experience finds this thread, I have seen these services recommended: Rhasspy with Home Assistant .io. Rhasspy is entirely offline, and this is Home Assistant’s privacy policy.

I hadn’t even considered the potential power savings. That is a good point. And it sounds like I will be using Docker a lot. I will look into Open Media Vault. Thank you for the suggestion.

I have the benefit of not being particularly used to any Linux DE yet (my Pi’s all end up headless, and I haven’t been at university for several years now), so I was primarily looking at low-resource ones. Does that not matter as much as I have heard?

I am looking into this one piece at a time. Would you recommend installing a desktop on Debian? If so, do you have one you’d recommend? I am looking at KDE, XFCE, or LXQt for the Live images of Debian to try to get acclimated.

The other option has a download speed in the kbps range, so unfortunately switching is not yet an option. Rural US does not do Internet well. There is a better provider (that I was with at my last home) on the way, so hopefully I will not have these issues for too much longer.

Thank you for the concern, though.

I have a data cap ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

This is a ton of fantastic information. Thank you. Debian is something I’ve heard a lot about, and was the second thing I looked into after TrueNAS.

I haven’t really had any interest in the -arr softwares. I’m primarily ripping my own media. I do feel like Docker will be a must, though, so learning it will be fun (not sarcasm).

I have honestly never heard of LVM before, so I will have to read into it. It sounds exactly like what I am looking for with my drives.

According to the website the public release is based off of Debian still.
