ABB is what I mostly use, going to have to give MAM a go again (didnt really do much audio books for a long while)

If its something I’m concerned about finding to redownload, I just back up the content itself.

Otherwise its just arr’s doing their thing to my specs, so I just backup my arr’s.

Cool story.

I dont believe I commented at all on legality or safety, only on what I personally consider a concern (surgery).

If you’re trying to create an argument, I’m not remotely interested.

That is a lot more common than surgery to remove a belly button or nipples. I’ve known people who had done that with their eyes, so that doesn’t seem anywhere near as concerning to me.

Any surgery carries risk, and requires appropriate consideration.

Let’s take breast augmentation as an example. There are some folks who will choose to do so because it will help them match their gender, and that makes a lot of sense for their mental well being. There are some folks who have had a mastectomy, and an augmentation (and in many cases a tattooed nipple to finish things off) will help for their mental well being. These are generally one-time surgeries with a clear beneficial outcome.

There are others who will continually go larger and larger and larger, and its actually detrimental to their health and well being, they are often doing so because of other issues of their self image or self worth, and the surgery will never be enough for them. Its even been shown to make those perceptions of their bodies worse, which is why they end up getting surgery over and over again.

My concern here is whether or not he fits in the first group or the second. I sincerely hope he does not have an internal struggle that will drive him to many surgeries, never addressing the actual issue, and making things worse for himself over time.

How it looks is irrelevant to me, if he likes it more power to him. I think his tattoos are incredible, personally.

I just hope he’s OK.

Why do I think surgery to remove body parts for additional tattoos is potentially concerning?

Removing his nipples and belly button for more tattoos are the only things that strike me as concerning.

Not for the children, but his own welfare. The tattoos are amazing.

Amcrest are great, but not all of them. Learned that with the stupid ASH-21 I bought.

So check the frigate docs for cameras, there is a great list there.

You could just use a local NFO for artist/album with jellyfin, thats what I do for everything from stuff friends have made to home movies and fanedits.

You regularly post interesting (and sometimes funny) content!

Yeah I’ve got nothing either. Kind of one of the reasons I’m on db0 actually.

Yeah they are using a pi 4 for this

It isn’t hitting it locally is the issue. Not an uncommon problem with plex unfortunately, its going out to come back in, so the server and client see it as remote.

Without playback you wouldn’t even be able to see that in the dashboard, which just makes the direction Plex is going so much more problematic.

Like I said, better off using JF.

Remote, yes, they announced you need Plex pass one side or the other for it to work.

Local, no, that shouldn’t happen. Your device isn’t reaching your Plex server locally.

To work around the remote issue, you can VPN to your local network.

But you’re better off in the long haul with Jellyfin as you’re doing now.

Maybe it’ll detect it as mass storage media and give it access to the built in audio system.

It won’t. Both will be acting as host, so thats not going to work out.

What car do you have?

Else, I’ll just use a bluetooth speaker I have at home. I don’t need good audio for “turn left/turn right”, just to hear it.

Didn’t you want to use it for your music as well with navidrome?

I’ve had Waze become useless three times in the span of two years because they pushed updates that made the app unstable enough to not be reliable.

CoMaps may be up your alley, uses OSM.

I’ll try the recovery mode for my phone and see if that helps!

Hope that works for you regardless, it was an absolute pain when my wife’s phone update (Samsung) broke android auto and Bluetooth connections. Especially since I just bought the car a few weeks before.

How do you plan to get audio in? Bluetooth? Wired audio input?

In your first post you were calling it a head unit, which would replace everything. Given the picture, you have a more fully integrated android auto compatible system rather than a traditional head unit, so I understand why the other commenter pointed to that - its similar to what I would have suggested, which would be to get a din cover appropriately sized, then cut out for a screen.

So the question becomes how do you want to hear and/or see? That would decide placement requirements. For example, I have a nice spot in the passenger seat I could easily hide it behind a panel under the dash, but the audio input I’d have to bring over to the armrest. So I’d run a cable under the carpet to the aux input, bring it up the side of the armrest and plug it in.

FWIW, your phone may work nicely by rebooting into recovery and wiping the cache partition. That resolved things for my wife and her car, no issues or trouble since.

Going separate for now, maybe later I’ll go for all on the same

I really should pick up another used thinkpad… I’ve got one for my wife, one for me for work, and I would really like to have a personal in the mix to make my life easier.

Not the person you’re asking but personally I use Jetson nano for some work stuff (and when I upgrade the “old” one is mine), odroid I’ve used for some misc creations and testing, and I’m personally looking forward to trying the radxa x4 as an htpc.

What I am really excited about right now is tossing my recently acquired spare jetson nano on a drone, right now I’m setting it up to walk around with it and test CV before it gets mounted up on the drone.

Sorry short hand for tiny/mini/micro. Lenovo tiny, dell micro, and HP mini, some generic used, some I grab from work after their desktop life is done.

Great little workhorses
