  • 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).






  • 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 for these infos, it’s very interesting to get a glimpse of what goes on behind the “scene”. Makes what you do even more impressive, keep it up 🙂

    And I’m sure if dwarfs gets more popular and well maintained, it’ll get distributed more, so it’s not an issue. Also after commenting here yesterday I tried a quick tiny game (Jetstream) on a debian install and saw that dwarfs release on github comes with a dwarfsextract package that’s usable standalone, no installation required, in a few minutes I was playing the game’s exe bypassing the script.


  • Appreciate the response, I guess my point of view is of a patientgamer, that would not add extra pacman repos just to check out a game…

    But I see how you guys have/want to keep up with the cutting edge to offer serious competition, and so from there the need of standardization and not doubling of the efforts makes perfect sense

    I’m probably in the minority of gamers, but in the majority of linux users, and most of those that I know even forget they can play casually on their machine and instead rely on consoles or secondary pcs for fear of breaking their main system

    In any case your collection is incredible, so if it makes people interested in installing a rolling distro and avoid that windows partition or closed up console, that’s a huge win in my book. Thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻
