I have a plex setup too, using Prologue.

I never listen to audiobooks using Plex, and prologue manages listening state just fine for me.

Do you want it for one trip or all?

For one trip you select it and then save as html from your browser.

For all trips if there is a request being made to the backend to get data I’m not sure it’s possible

You could use wsl2 with the Linux commands.

If not, I think all you need is node, yarn (instructions should be on their GitHub) and a way to run postgres.

What are the benefits of zigbee2mqtt over ZHA and is it worth migrating? in c/[email protected]

[–] thereddevil 2 points 2 years ago

I moved from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT because I had a few devices (mainly xiaomi/aqara) misbehaving on ZHA.

It depends on your use case and with many thread/matter devices coming out this year I’m not sure if you even need to switch unless you have specific devices in mind not supported on ZHA.

if I selfhost, does that take any load of Lemmy? in c/[email protected]

Your instance is it’s own thing and will only push data that’s from communities created on your instance to others.

However, since your instance will have limited users, it will consume fewer resources and your browsing experience would be faster.

I’m not sure of where the limits are on the pushing side of things. If people from a lot of instances are subscribed to a particular community in an instance, there is a lot of outgoing data from there. This is something I’m curious about.

Then buy YouTube Premium and the ads go away.

YouTube is not a charity and needs to pay for servers hosting the content people view. That money comes from ads/YouTube Premium

As someone with more than 5LOE I’ve found that technology matters less and general concepts are more valuable.

So look at system design concepts, how infra you use typically works (pubsub, databases, etc), how companies solve problems (engineering blogs from companies like slack, meta etc)

Learning new languages only helps if you are currently working on something obscure.

Pretty sweet setup. You should look at sonarr/radarr/lidarr/bookarr which are media management tools for tv/movies/music/books

I know they have hooks for plex where they will let plex know about library being updated and trigger a library refresh.
