Wow! This sounds super handy! Thanks for sharing!

TLDR; The developer of tachiyomi got threads from the manga publisher’s lawyers. So he archived his repo. Other devs forked it to keep the project alive.

Sure thing!

I’m using Yōkai.

My internet provider offers up to 4 sim cards per account. They cost once 10€, without a monthly fee. However they have only 300mb of high speed traffic. But this should be just fine for a tracker, no? Just have a look in your customer portal. Maybe you’ll find something there too

I like MakeMKV. It also works flawlessly with modern formats like (4k-)BluRays. Also it’s super simple to use. Just throw your disk in, press the big shiny button and wait till it rips your disk. It even handles the decryption for you.

If you want to start cheap, I can recommend you to use an old notebook. In my opinion it’s the perfect home server for beginners.

• It’s cheap (most people have an unused laying around anyway)
• If it’s old enough to still have a dvd drive, you can replace it with a second sata ssd. There are cheap frames for this available.
• it has a battery, so it can shutdown if there is a power outage
• It’s slim. You can just throw it on your closet and forget about it

Most services don’t need much. So it’s just fine if your “server” is like 10 years old. My first notebook server had 2 cores and 4 GB ram and it run Proxmox with like 10 lxc containers just fine.

That’s a cool approach! Reminds me of the old Napster 🤓

Awesome! I just learned something today. Thanks for pointing it out so detailed!

yt-dlp can handle YouTube Music Links. Just tell it with -x --audio-format mp3, that you don’t want the Video, but an mp3 (opus can’t be tagged). I use it to obtail whole artists, then I tag them with MusicBrainz Picard. I’m sure there is a way to automate this. yt-dlp has also a Python library. However I haven’t used it for now.
