What's a good source for DRM-free audiobooks? I'd love to ditch Audible and move to something like this, but I haven't found a store that has a good selection.

(Edit: thank you, everybody, for the great answers!!!)

If you're not looking to sail the high seas, I highly recommend Libro.fm. They have had almost any audiobook I have ever wanted (e.g., Andy Weir's books in English are only available on Audible), and you can choose a local library to support with your purchase.

I subscribe to their monthly plan, $14.99/month, which gets me 1 credit per month. If you buy one audiobook a month that's $14.99, using that credit, it pays for itself. I really like using my credits on expensive audiobooks, like $25 or something (I'm basically getting the book at a discount) and then I buy cheaper audiobooks using my credit card.

You can stream your purchased books with their app, but I download the files (everything is DRM-free) and move them into Audiobookshelf. Most of their older books are just ZIP downloads of MP3s, but newer books come in M4B format (one large file with chapter markers). Both work flawlessly with Audiobookshelf.

If you buy an audiobook on Audible (e.g., Andy Weir), you can download the AAX file from Audible and use a converter to convert the file to M4B (this strips the DRM and makes it work with Audiobookshelf). This is in a legal gray-area, depending on your jurisdiction.

So far, the Equinix Metal shutdown affects Freedesktop, Alpine, WireGuard, and Flathub. Why can't these organizations use VMs? Is there something special about bare-metal services, or has Equinix not offered their VM service to these organizations?

The usage of ping require that to run as root. And this can open a big security issue as the paramater host of the function "check_ping" can be used for a root command injection.

I know that this is not going to be exposed on Internet, but I think it should be fixed in any case. I am at work, but I can open a PR fixing it later.

Asking because I genuinely don't know, but why not use Python's `urllib.request` instead of `ping`?

Man, this is cool! I would love if each tile would be clickable! I have a homelab and this would be a great landing page to be able to give out to family to see the status and links to all services in the house.

I switched to Planka after Focalboard went community-supported[1], but failed to appoint any community leaders. So far, I'm very happy with Planka for my needs at home.

There are more self-hosted options in this link[2].
