Vendetta9076, w A good place to listen to audio books online?
@Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works avatar

Why not just grab and put them on your phone or host them in a server?

JohnDClay,

Whole lot of storage space and a whole lot of work respectively?

@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

You are severely overestimating both in your assumptions.

I think I have like 3,000 audiobooks in .mp3s and it takes hardly 5gb.

JohnDClay,

Wow, and those aren’t unlistenable due to compression? Cool. Yeah I would have thought it was more like 1gb per 10 hours, but I guess it’s orders of magnitude less than that.

For real. I become a little bit of a snob when it comes to my audiobooks. I have a collection going of near 2000 and thats about 2TB of space. Now, I do try and get the “best” I can of what’s available, and, to be fair, 64kbps books are truly well and good. There are also ones that sound great and don’t pack a high bitrate, but once it hits the 32kbps that when its rare I’ll touch them unless the are the only copies I can find. Personally, I hate how much highly compressed books make the narrators sound. Just awful

dustojnikhummer,

I dumped my Audible books. Metro 2035 is around 550MBs, Windows reports 62kbps bit rate. Is that normal? m4b Downloaded with Booklib+AAX Converter

dudemanbro,
@dudemanbro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That seems normal. The copy I have in an m4b ~530 MB (@63kbps). There are various tools like the one you mentioned and (github.com/VarSell/iAmDeaf) which I’m sure does the same thing. Unfortunately I am not too well versed in the actual ripping of content so i dont really know how people get the untouched “highest” bitrate content. But what you did appears to be wihtin the normal range, I would say.

I am not really part of the scene but am part of a community that shares the booty

Setting up a plex server takes less than 5 minutes and audiobooks are less than 100mb most of the time. So not really. Setting up audiobookshelf takes a bit more time if you don’t already have docker installed/setup on windows but even then. An hour maybe? At most?

JohnDClay,

Cool! Could you direct me to this five minute guide to setting up a Plex server? Also for these you’d need another computer that’s always on, right? If it’s off, you wouldn’t be able to access the server? Our family only uses laptops right now so that would be an issue.

Vendetta9076,
@Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works avatar

I can write the 5 minute guide out for you in this comment. Im assuming windows. And yeah the machine has to be on. Although you could just run it off your main machine, especially if its just audiobooks.

Make a plex account Download and run the latest version of PMS (plex media server) and follow the gui to create your media folders

Now if you only want to access the media within your home, you’re done. Grab the apps for each device and be on your way. If you want to access out of your home theres one more step. Port forwarding. Thats done within your router and is different for each one but basically boils down to this.

Find setting. Create port forward entry for whichever ip is hosting plex. Port forward 32400 on tcp/udp Done.

Im explaining it in short bullet point lines because it should be that easy.

dustojnikhummer,

Yes. You need a PC that can act as a server (so run 24/7). If you want outside access you would also need a VPN or expose your services to the internet.

Mastersmacks,

It’s for my tech illiterate girlfriend, if there’s more than 2 steps that’s an automatic no from her

Fair enough. I host it myself for my wife.

Hey you’re pretty cool for doing this, hope I win!

Kyle, w [ENDED] Giving away TorrentLeech invites. Not selling or trading, they're just yours

I’ll take one

anisphia, w [ENDED] Giving away TorrentLeech invites. Not selling or trading, they're just yours

i’m interested :3

maybe try asking if ur irl friends know torrenting, maybe they knew in secret

I’ll try as well. Thank you either way, it’s a nice gesture.

The game is kinda meh from what I’ve seen? Any positive impressions?

samus12345, (edited )
@samus12345@sh.itjust.works avatar

Still downloading for me, but I see more than one review saying it takes a long time to get good. I’m keeping my expectations low.

EDIT: Glad I was warned it starts slow. It does get better if you stick with it.

EDIT 2: It entertained me for a week. It’s no Skyrim, or even Fallout. I would have been pissed if I’d paid for it.

  • Techmaster,

    So it’s more Destiny than No Man’s Sky.

    leftzero,

    Best comparison I’ve heard (by Gopher, if I recall correctly) is Outer Worlds, but less silly, and bigger by several orders of magnitude.

    Techmaster,

    Yeah Outer Worlds was awesome but very limited. So limited that it almost felt linear.

    Awoo, (edited )

    Starfield really does look and run great.

    Run great? Absolutely not.

    I get 120fps in Elden Ring at medium, 2070, 64gb ram, i9-12900k.

    Just got done with Armored Core, rock solid 144fps at medium all the way through, never a blip.

    This runs at 30fps on lowest settings. It runs like absolute crap. It’s incredibly jarring to go from games that are gorgeous and well made with high performance to this thing running like something 20 years ago. Absolutely zero optimisation.

    It will get a seriously negative response from the average pc user when user reviews start hitting due to this performance.

    ryepunk,

    The most positive I’ve heard is that it is a by the numbers Bethesda rpg game. It doesn’t try to be anything more. If you liked fallout 4 and skyrim odds are you’ll like this.

    PraiseTheSoup,

    What if I liked FO3 and New Vegas and hated FO4?

    thisbenzingring,

    Then you have good taste in games.

    Qwaffle_waffle,

    What if I liked Fallout 76?

    thisbenzingring,

    Nobody’s perfect.

    fox,

    FO3 was kind of a disaster in terms of narrative and roleplay. And the established world building.

    Kir,
    @Kir@feddit.it avatar

    Then you are objectively right

    leftzero,

    They got rid of the dialogue wheel and went back to a list of options (influenced by character background / skills), so at least there’s that, I suppose.

    OptimusPrimeRib,
    @OptimusPrimeRib@sh.itjust.works avatar

    I’ve heard nothing but good things about gameplay. But it runs like shit on most systems. A RTX 3080 at 1440p ultra can’t get 60 fps in cities.

    @FxSoap@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    Is there a torrent somewhere…?

    resources in the Megathread link pinned to the community can lead you there.

    I don't pirate a lot but I also would like to see what's it like

    Appoxo, (edited )
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    It’s not like a public tracker. Please watch out and read the rules before downloading.

    Edit: The fuck am I being downvoted for? Inconsiderate users that want newbies to fail :|

    RandomStickman,
    @RandomStickman@kbin.social avatar

    That much I know. Thanks for the tip!

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    Basically your are being held responsible for seeding it either 1:1 or for some time if you cant reach that goal.

    Longevity is rewarded on some trackers with more bonus points you can trade for stuff like Upload credits. The longer you seed, the more you can get per seed.

    Usually privates can get exclusive stuff which trickles to public trackers but they also pull from public (like anime from nyaa) and reseed them here.
    Some private tracker users are unable to download from public because either their ISP watches that more closely or their seedbox provider does not permit it/banned connections

    The general quality is >=720p and usally a higher bitrate than public ones.

    Sime trackers are general (like 1337x and TL), specific for movie and tv (like RARBG and Blu) and some others for topics like ebooks and audiobooks, music/-videos, learning materials.
    Some may even only allow content that was produced >10 years ago (cathode) or something like cartoons (old toons) or culture specific (like jptv and nyaa) only.

    ArcaneSlime,

    First I’m hearing of cathode and old toons but I’m interested, are those private?

    Appoxo, (edited )
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    Yes and yes.
    Keep an eye open for opensignup pages on the interwebz for trackers. Some open entirely while others you need to apply for with seed proof (public seed does not matter).

    Some private trackers may have an invite forum. You could try to achieve a class with access to it (usually a high threshold of seed or commitment, showing you know how the rules of such sites work)

    ArcaneSlime,

    Thanks, I’ll look into trying to get in, building up my TL ratio (unless they’d take my IPT ratio, but many don’t.)

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    As you said, some may or may not accept the proof.
    BUT: Some trackers proof may be worth less or more than others.

    An invite would be amazing. Please and thank you

    Mythnubb, w Media server

    I’ve started using alldebrid. It technically is torrents but not using my home network so I don’t need a VPN anymore. I use RealDebrid Client with my alldebrid account and it works with all the *arr services. Most torrents I can download at my full ISP speed.

    I know it’s not what your asking for but just throwing the idea out there.

    The_Manix, w [ENDED] Giving away TorrentLeech invites. Not selling or trading, they're just yours

    I would love one

    I want one, please

    Neeen, w [ENDED] Giving away TorrentLeech invites. Not selling or trading, they're just yours

    I’d love an invite
