but since there are 2 parties it complies with your request of
a rigorous definition of gerrymandering that isn’t just “I know it when I see it.”

I heard of a test that makes sense, minimally. If you reverse the vote of every single person, the opposite party should win. Apparently there are ways of organizing it where that isn’t the case.

I’m sure a lot (the majority) of people who are interested in selfhosting block ads. Need a different business model.
On the other hand a lot of people interested in selfhosting appear to have cash to throw around on their hobby. Might be better to

Email list tracking is much worse.
It gets me riled up because every email list does it. Even when I know that the people who run it have no interest in it. Non-profit, non-creepy organizations have it turned on by default. They may not even be aware of it.
It turns me off the whole concept of email lists because I have to be on guard to not click any of their links by mistake.

Well it looks like just what I wanted! I’ll put it on my “when I get comfortable with Docker” list. Which due to it’s rapid growth, is becoming a “reasons to get comfortable with docker” list.
Looks pretty new, since June or July this year. I will admit I am suspicious of projects making claims like “Learning curve ✅ None”. I find they tend to assume a lot of prior knoweldge. I will check it out in a while, I think.
BTW the link you posted has tracking, not sure if that was on purpose.

So do you add the books in bulk to the library then use the iOS app to scrape and apply the metadata?
- Comment on easy way to manage audio metadata / file organization? 5 days ago:
In a physical archive, effort is made to retain as much original relation between the materials as possible. The order of books on a shelf, items placed inside other items, etc. If there is an envelope containing a bunch of press clippings, notes, photos etc, you don’t disassemble it to be filed by date and type, completely apart from each other. You keep them together, in order.

in theory if you wanted to you could use hardlinks to retain the original file structure while also having a nicely organized version available. most of the Arrs support this although TBH I do not trust them with the files I wish to preserve in this way. Since there’s not too many of them I just zip up copies of anything I want to retain exactly and let the software work with a duplicate. And hardlinks of course would still be subject to editing like retagging.
Of course if you are accustomed to your library being organized in this manner and it suits you, then there is no reason to change. :)

I tried beets but it takes so long to do any task. Even if I just ask it to look up 1 album.
beet import /path/to/albumI got frustrated trying to learn it.Was surprised about being unable to find any --verbose argument so I could at least see what was going on. Does it just take forever to do anything?

It’s sort of weird to upload because it’s already on the hard drive where I want it to go… Just has to get squeezed back and forth through the pipes of my LAN a few times to go through this process.
- Comment on RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation 5 weeks ago:
yes that is correct. it is a server/client solution so you can track you progress.
zero finding ability. try Lazy Librarian.
remember that audiobooks are relatively rare due to their high production costs. so a lot of books do not have an audio version. Could consider text to speech.
there are some massive torrents that have like thousands of audiobooks in them and you have to go and select which ones to download. I’m not sure how I stumbled on these in the past so if you figure that out let me know.
- Comment on RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation 5 weeks ago:
Readarr is just a tool that facilitates downloading via bittorrent or usenet. You can just use those the old fashioned way without it.
You can purchase audiobooks too, especially from authors who make them available on DRM-free platforms.
And there’s always librivox.org

I can’t offer any specific advice but there seem to be a great many projects going to fill this need:

I used LL years ago before I got into any of the arrs. I was planning to return to it but ran into some sort of install/dependency issues. Maybe I’ll give it another whirl in case they’ve solved spontaneously.

I’m actually using Audiobookshelf as my main server. I just wanted Readarr to get metadata and organize the folders. Do you have any workflow tips for that?

I’m hoping someone will have some info about what happened because it seems strange. What does this mean?
Unlike R——'s proprietary service, this is much faster, handles large authors, has full coverage of G——R—— (or Hardcover!)
