  • Both cbr and cbz are just compressed archives - R for Rar and Z for Zip. The format has got nothing to do with how the images are displayed in a reader application.

    If you want any reader to read a comic frame by frame instead of page by page, you’d have to uncompress the file, then cut out each individual frame and give them sensible names (eg. page_39_frame_03.png or somesuch) and then recompress.

    Someone else in the thread mention software that can do this, but it might not always work as expected, when the layout is not straight-forward.



  • I use Ansible to deploy a bunch of containers with intradependencies (shared volumes, networks and settings). One of the containers is homemade with the source pulled from codeberg. Variables are kept in a separate file and passwords in an encrypted one and the whole thing is in a private repo. It is quite flexible.

    When I started out converting from compose, I literally asked Copilot for “this, but in Ansible”, which got me pretty far.



  • This has huge potential. What I personally look for in a podcast solution is:

    • Web/desktop player
    • Sync between players (down to seconds)
    • Organize subscribed podcasts with folders/tags
    • Per podcast/folder/tag settings for “automatically add to queue”
    • Some way of dealing with older (backlog) episodes (built-in or via an API)

    For now, I’m using Pocketcasts which pretty much does what I need, except for handling the backlog, which I do with a homemade python-script that adds backlog episodes to my playlist whenever it has less than 4 hours of playtime left, using Pocketcast’s web player REST API. The result is an endless playlist where newly released episodes are played within a few hours and older episodes are sprinkled on with no real need for micro-managing episodes in the playlist.

    It looks like web/desktop players and sync is already in scope, but are there any “advanced” podcast organization features on your roadmap?
