Not for ripping but to serve your books and for the selfhosters among us use audiobookshelf.

Really great piece of software

I am not familiar with the Apt series but CoT was the first book I read from this author and was blown away.

Although the first part started slow and monologues still happen frequently but the idea and the plot pulled me forward. While I didn't felt he recapped much.

My other suggestion, Peter F. Hamilton is the totally oposite direction when it comes to jumping between places / characters. Sometimes between paragraphs and not at chapters end or page ends.

Still after one sentence you know exactly where you are in the plot. Even when his books throw different characters at you like popcorn.

If you have a lot of time and an urge to read:

• Peter F. Hamilton - void trilogy - space opera
• Brandon Sanderson - the stormlight archives - epic fantasy
• Adrian Tchaikovsky - children of time series - sci-fi

Check if you can get your hands on an ebook reader, if you don't have already. The reading experience from the eye view side is similar to reading books and in addition you can increase the font size. It is superior to reading on a screen.

I listened to the audiobooks if that counts.

He is one of my favoured authors.

My personal top list, of what I "read"

• Children of time
• The doors of eden
• children of ruin
• shards of earth series

Did you try to rebuild shaders? If you are using steam.

That's what do as well. While I was desperate waiting for BG3 to release, when it finally arrived I was totally overwhelmed by the game. It is really heavy weighted. The shear mass of possibilities and consequences makes it hard, at least for me, to relax without fomo.

Rclone can do this for you.

No reverse proxy. In LAN everything is seen and accessible.

No port is open to WAN, I connect via my router VPN from extern.

I use unpriveliged LXC für everything I have running in my proxmox.

Plex, syncthing, rclone, motioneye, pyload all in seperate Lxc on the boot drive.

All data of those is on my mirror raid, including the lxc backups. The rclone lxc backs the important data onto my cloud drive.

And to add it was the most advanced device compared to the others. Full mouse support, graphical interface, WYSIWYG , it was a true gamechanger.

Had a used one myself and soldered RAM chips on the MB to make it a fat Mac with 4MB RAM . Boot disk system was copied to a RAM disk after boot. Good times

Proxmox

Edit: Installed as the hypervisor on bare metal and then whatever you want to try out like OMV, Plex, jellyfin, syncthing or cloud software in an LXC or VM

If you are able to translate or German is your thing check this page out https://www.elefacts.de/test-153-nas_basic_2.1__mini_itx_eigenbau_nas_mit_4x_sata_und_passiver_4_kern_cpu

At the end of the page there are 4 build links shown. Starter to expert. I went the basic model route. They also describe the different NAS OS systems, I chosed proxmox.
