I tried Calibre web and Kogma.

Calibre is just bad software at this point, it’s clunky and not really designed as a server.

Kogma was fine, but a web only interface made it hit or miss. The big selling point for me with audio bookshelf was the ability to download local copies.

Oh yeah, the multiple libraries is a good point!

You can read using the web client or dedicated apps (android and ios). I feel like the clients work just as good if not better than similar software.

I haven’t tested how it handles two versions (audio/ebook) of the same book, but I have ebooks and audio books and it works well for me.

The only real downside I’ve run into is it’s very opinionated about folder structures around authors.

The one I’ve enjoyed the most is https://www.audiobookshelf.org/, it may be “focused” on audio books, but works really well for everything. It also supports offline mode (meaning downloading local copies in the app).

The point of my post is that it is “a metric”. The original post was showing that knife “crimes” were going down over a period of time while rhetoric about knife crimes were up.

However, knife crimes may not be down based on other metrics. So yes, while it’s good that less people are being hospitalized, that doesn’t mean the argument being made in the OP is valid.

I’m also not trying to take sides, just noticing that the graph on knife attacks wasn’t telling the whole story. It’s very possible that the increased rhetoric on knife attacks leads to more people reporting even though crime is down. Generally there has been a trend in the world to over report crime, typically done to help push legislation or political parties.

I always find it interesting when you’re only provided a portion of the data in a chart, as this shows “hospital Admissions” and not total incidents involving a knife.

If you look at other reports on the issue it seems like incidents involving a knife are still high (and don’t follow the trend from the graph) even though hospital Admissions and deaths are down - Source.

That could mean that reporting is up while crime is down, or could mean that less incidents are ending violently, but it’s not as clear a picture as the initial graph indicates.

Note: the source is for the UK in general, but other London based reports show similar. I chose that article because they seem fairly trustworthy.

I had someone swear to me that Github templating was better, but I’ve only worked with Gitlabs templates. Why do you like Gitlab over Github?

It was a surprise hit for me. It feels more approachable than most souls likes and has a pretty decent story.

Just take a guess as to who was president at the time.

Yeah, I made a separate comment, but AudioBookshelf can play nicely with ebooks and comics. It’s not super smooth, but provides the most features in a self hosted solution from what I’ve tried.

I just use AudioBookshelf for books. It’s a little annoying, but basically just requires an extra nested folder structure.

The best part is offline reading seems to resync back to the server, so you can download books for local reading or read through an internet connection.

Am I missing something? SQLite is great, but it isn’t really comparable to most other SQL databases, unless you’re talking about nosql alternatives?

I think the better stat would be time handling a gun/driving a car.

The average person probably spends about an hour in the car per day (based on some loose numbers I saw online). But I suspect the number of hours holding a gun is a lot less.

Its kinda like the fact that new Yorkers bite more people than sharks. It isn’t because new Yorkers are more likely to bite you, but with eight million people interacting daily the amount of interactions outweighs the odds of a bite.

Looks like there is a config and cache location in their docker scripts. The easiest way to make a docker application portable is to bind mount the config and cache. That way you have access to the actual files and could copy them to your windows partition.

If you’re already using a volume for that data, I think it becomes a bit trickier. I know technically you can move or copy volumes, but I’ve never tried. Although you could still bind mount a random directory and still copy the files out.

Yep, bind mount the data and config directories and back those up. You can test a backup by spinning up a new container with the data/config directories.

This is both easy and generally the recommended thing I’ve seen for many services.

The only thing that could cause issues is breaking changes caused by the docker images themselves, but that’s an issue regardless of backup strategy.

You’re right, but people over a certain tax bracket are also pretty good at not paying taxes.

Yeah, that would be my recommendation too. Anything else will produce a worse experience (laggy and slow) and more complexity to get setup/maintain.

Some of the commands I use a lot for debugging containers, in case you go down that route:

• docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bash <image_name>
• This command let’s you enter a docker image with bash so you can test commands and treat it like a temporary VM. Great way to see how the image is setup
• docker exec -it <container_name>
• This let’s you enter a running container with bash. A great way to inspect why something might not be working or check mounted volumes, etc.

Once you know how to use docker/containerization it’ll be the only way you want to deploy applications. Most popular applications will also have good guides on how to setup/config the container, but sometimes you’ll need to read up on docker and Linux to figure things out.
