It's sort of weird to upload because it's already on the hard drive where I want it to go.. Just has to get squeezed back and forth through the pipes of my LAN a few times to go through this process.

a special word for being prejudiced against the Roma People

According to wikipedia you have several choices: "antigypsyism, anti-Romanyism, antiziganism, ziganophobia, or Romaphobia".

Furthermore there are terms "porajmos (also porrajmos or pharrajimos—literally, "devouring" or "destruction" in some dialects of the Romani language)... Balkan Romani activists prefer to use the term samudaripen ("mass killing")" to describe the holocaust on Romani people.

It's difficult to over emphasize how willfully ignorant the above commenter is. They don't care about jews or roma. This is an example of real anti semitism, which continues to pervade, and is the reason why Israel and its oligarchs can get away with mislabeling legitimate activity as such. Because everyone knows there are people like this running around who are seeking to ride the wave of empathy for the palestinians (who they also don't care about) to stir up anti-jew attitudes.

yes that is correct. it is a server/client solution so you can track you progress.

zero finding ability. try Lazy Librarian.

remember that audiobooks are relatively rare due to their high production costs. so a lot of books do not have an audio version. Could consider text to speech.

there are some massive torrents that have like thousands of audiobooks in them and you have to go and select which ones to download. I'm not sure how I stumbled on these in the past so if you figure that out let me know.

But he paid $40B for twitter. $250M is the kind of bargain you only get after prior investment.

(And I guess I found something an individual can buy for >$1B, which is even more reason to prohibit anyone from having this much money.)

I think the ballot reform really helped in this case. We need ballot reform.

AFAIK even seemingly successful musicians often don't really make out with much cash. They incur a lot of costs even under the most "honest" industry contracts. Then there are cases of getting blatantly scammed like the Backstreet Boys or George Clinton.

wrong.

you can buy a lot of political favors

you could make money depreciate over time so it couldn't be hoarded.

Readarr is just a tool that facilitates downloading via bittorrent or usenet. You can just use those the old fashioned way without it.

Edit: The program Lazy Librarian that some people are mentioning also assists with the searching and downloading, if you prefer not to do it by hand.

You can purchase audiobooks too, especially from authors who make them available on DRM-free platforms.

And there's always https://librivox.org/

Slavery is still a word and we still all know the word, no question about that, but at least in Europe, legalized slavery isn’t really a concept we need to put a lot of political effort into, because it doesn’t exist any more.

We don’t need to have laws governing how slaves are treated, how the process of freeing slaves go, how former slaves are treated in society. We don’t even need to have discussions about that topic, because there’s no legalized slavery any more.

I guess you have never heard of the UK's 2015 Modern Slavery Act ("An Act to make provision about slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour and about human trafficking, including provision for the protection of victims; to make provision for an Independent Anti-slavery Commissioner; and for connected purposes").

If you web search for any organization or company that's active in the UK, you will find they have a bunch of disclosures and policies relating to slavery. Here are some randoms ones to save your fingers from working too hard: the NHS, Apple, Levi's

There is movement towards EU-wide anti-slavery legislation.

And in the same vein I think it’s justified to think about whether Jews really still need this protected status over e.g. Muslims or refugees. At least over here, it’s not so rare that e.g. refugee homes are set on fire by right-wing extremists. All sorts of Jewish institutions in my city have a permanent police guard stationed outside of them to protect them from potential attacks, even though they haven’t really happened in decades, while mosques or refugee homes usually don’t have that.

Presumably you have spent zero moments looking into the validity of the claim about no attack in decades, just like the one about slavery being a non-issue. I proceed on the premise that you are ignorant and incorrect.

"Anti semitism" describes a unique and specific form of bigotry which is deeply entrenched in Europe and elsewhere which is influenced by European culture. It's different than anti-black racism, orientalism, or islamiphobia to name a few. They all "deserve" their own words to describe the nuances.

Obviously you should do something about people's houses being set on fire. Jews are are certainly not the primary barrier. I bet if you were to look at people who are in positions to actually do anything, you'll find most of them are Christians. And do you think those cops who are paid to stand around all day as street furniture would really change anything for the better if they were re-deployed? They'd probably assist the arsonists.


Israel is a criminal enterprise from top to bottom. It has many advocates, the most effective and powerful of whom are not jewish, who conduct themselves in heinous fashion. Israel was created after WW2 by europeans who were semi-regretful about the holocaust, but were happy to not have a bunch of poor jewish refugees returning home. And by Europeans who didn't regard the arab or muslim inhabitants of Palestine as human beings. Europe and the US have been in active support and benefiting from Israel's crimes for decades.

We need to be able to use our brains to get through the swamp of propaganda without falling back on old bigotries. Blaming jews for structural problems is one of the core tenants of nazisim. I don't know if you are a nazi or you've just picked up a bit of it through culture, or something in between.

I think it actually trivializes the allegations made by the IDF solidiers because the substance of historical "blood libel" myths seem almost gentle by comparison of what is actually going on. Baking bread with the blood of the occasional child would hardly even be noticed among the on going horrific carnage.

Announcement: Retirement of Readarr

We would like to announce that the Readarr project has been retired. This difficult decision was made due to a combination of factors: the project's metadata has become unusable, we no longer have the time to remake or repair it, and the community effort to transition to using Open Library as the source has stalled without much progress.

Third-party metadata mirrors exist, but as we're not involved with them at all, we cannot provide support for them. Use of them is entirely at your own risk. The most popular mirror appears to be rreading-glasses.

Without anyone to take over Readarr development, we expect it to wither away, so we still encourage you to seek alternatives to Readarr.

Key Points

  • Effective Immediately: The retirement takes effect immediately. Please stay tuned for any possible further communications.
  • Support Window: We will provide support during a brief transition period to help with troubleshooting non metadata related issues.
  • Alternative Solutions: Users are encouraged to explore and adopt any other possible solutions as alternatives to Readarr.
  • Opportunities for Revival: We are open to someone taking over and revitalizing the project. If you are interested, please get in touch.
  • Gratitude: We extend our deepest gratitude to all the contributors and community members who supported Readarr over the years.

Thank you for being part of the Readarr journey. For any inquiries or assistance during this transition, please contact our team.

Sincerely,
The Servarr Team

I have been playing around with chmod, chown, setfacl and special bits trying to get multiple system/full users in same group correct access permissions to my media collection.

But I've messed it up somehow and now I'm having weird problems that are hard to track.

I would like to set my whole collection back to the defaults.

What is the best way to do this?

One problem I've had when making changes to so many files is the process seems to go forever without completing. Eventually it gets killed so my filesystem has variable attributes throughout. how can this be worked around?

I want everything to be owned by myuser, group media, everything else default I will sort it from there once I have a fresh slate.

And is there a way to backup these attributes only? I don't have enough storage to backup the files themselves.

It is Debian with ext4 filesystem.

Edit to add: Media collection is on its own separate drive/filesystem; this has no impact on anything else on the computer.
