If you live in the USA and have a library card, you can get audiobooks for free via libby with your library card number and login. If you’re looking for other sources, MAM is the goto.

edit: correction, their website says it’s worldwide, which is nice.

I mean a VPS is ideal, let’s be real. lol

I checked MAM, it’s not listed. They have a 2022 book by the same name, different author.

Omg same. I have been burnt so many times on “lifetime” scams, im done. I want to invest in your product, but part of that agreement is you doing what you say. I’ve had it!

In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue…

Sounds like that’s the way I’ll have to go. Unfortunate, I hate increased layers of complexity, but I think that’s the move.

Ooo a pihole! That’s on the list.

That might be what I’ll have to do.

That sounds ideal, but I don’t currently have the resources to set up a home network. :⁠-⁠\

Right, it’s like the commentor above asking why I would use a private dns. Check the logs. I posted a screenshot above. A private dns is a great tool.

A mvno is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator, thus MVNO. They don’t own the network, they lease it.

I use a private dns for privacy. I don’t like my data and metrics being shared without my consent. It also blocks ads. Win win

edit: they had some sort of billing issue with me where my bill was consistently 40-50+ bucks over what it should be. So it would be correct one month then the next it would be like 200 bucks and back and forth. When I called, the garbage support had zero clue, and now that I have cancelled, they say they owe me 40 bucks. When I went to pay my bill, it was always 2 payments. Why? I called, again no clue. They did away with Google pass, well you want to know what they also did away with? The insurance on my phone and didn’t tell me. So with i needed it, I was not insured. Cool. Hard pass for me.

Edit: here’s an example of why a private dns is useful:

I wonder if luxottica is part of that? Seems like it would be right up their alley.

I think they provide tools to do this. You can do google takeout, then set your privacy settings to delete after X amount of time. We can hold good faith that they do so? Other than that, i guess you can contact them?

Well i hope it was a yacht. But after saying that, i feel for the crew, not the vessel or the owners. It’s easy to have an opinion, but ultimately it’s a literal ocean away, polluting for zero reason for the 1%.

Sailboat. Probably full of influencers.

Where’d i put that?

Lol whatcha need help with?

Honestly, what i do is install docker using brew and spin up a saltbox instance on localhost. You can always bring it down by telling docker to stop but it’s way better and it’s containerized.

edit: let me know if you need help.
