  • I use jellyfin to host everything; movies, shows, books. It can tag matadata and id most books fairly well. But do not use it’s built in reader. I don’t know about comics though. I can then easily download whatever book to any device connected to the jellyfin server and use local software to read it.

    I usually just use librera reader as it’s open source and highly customizable. But it does have it’s glitches.




  • Wanted to fully experience life!

    Grew up gaming. Stopped gaming for twenty years. Now I game again. I’ve had a great time. Climbed mountains. Traveled. All manner of relationships. Built a nice career. Now I find I can enjoy games without that, I’m wasting my life feeling.

    All humans “waste” time. It’s odd to say reading is better than games. Or movies are better than TV. They’re all just mediums to convey stories. And really, there aren’t many original stories, just the same ones told over and over in different ways.

    At least with games, you are actively participating rather than passively consuming. And yes I do read lots of complicated books, and watch fine cinema, and great television.

    But I also garden, birding, botany, camp, etc.

    I can confirm and I do use this feature of jellyfin. It works great. The reader is unusable. I use Librera for reading. It’s great, free, and open source.

    So my flow is biblio, mam, library Genesis, Anna’s. Then to jellyfin folder that it reads automatically. Then I can download that to any device connected to the jellyfin server. Local is easy, abroad through tailscale.



  • I took a long break from gaming (~15 years). Then when I came back too it I found all these great games that had came and went. So I started parsing through many of the most critically acclaimed games. I hit Arkane, and Dishonored was so incredible (and I got Prey with them in a flash steam sale for a few bucks), I thought I’d give it a try.

    I will say it’s probably one of the best games I’ve played in my most recent gaming phase. It is a super solid sci-fi horror where you can engage. I do not like run and hide games, so this one fulfilled my criteria. The story is also classic sci-fi greatness.

    It’s also one of the few games I’ve got an itch to play again.
