I like to approach things in life with positive intent, so seeing a video with an AI voice to me would make me assume that perhaps they don’t have a great voice or that they have a stammer so so an Ai voice allows them to still make content they want to.

I find that life is a lot better if you assume the best in people rather than assume the worse. And I can tell you that since I’ve taken this approach I’m a much happier person and it’s extremely rare that I give positive intent to someone with bad intentions so worth it for less stress and worrying about things all the time.

Do you think the same of channels that pay someone else to be the face of the channel or is it just Ai voices you have issue with?

But why?

Like sure some of the voices are not great but the words being said are the thing I’m interested in and not the person / machine saying the words.

Each to their own and all that, I’m just curious as to why you just stop watching something you were seemingly enjoying.

That’s very true but it becomes another dependency for me to manage, which is fine if that’s your thing but I struggle with motivation sometimes.

For instance my media server crapped the bed last night and debugging today felt like a chore. Turns out that I didn’t properly manage the docker side of things and where it stores things so I ran out of space on the server disk. My plan is to move the docker stuff to a vault in truenas and automate clearing old images and stuff, but as I say it’s a chore at times so don’t want to be adding another thing I need to manage as when in a bad headspace it’ll not get done.

Now this also highlighted an issue I must have, not been back to check docker compose, in that Plex doesn’t have access to my libraries now so the config must be wrong as Jellyfin worked perfectly. Means I’ll need to spend the time to resolve this so my users can continue on Plex which they prefer, I also prefer Plex but Jellyfin seems to work better on iOS.

Hope you see this response as me just expressing my use case and I have no judgement on you for sharing as I like to know what’s out there still.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks.

Seems Kobo is a winner here so it’ll be that or Boox that comes in second.

Thanks for the response.

This has had a few people mention it but seems Kobo and Boox are clear favourites, but will keep in mind.

I am not in Germany. I just joined this instance not knowing any better but never had an issue even when I see subs in German that I don’t understand.

Kobo is a clear winner thus far. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

I am not German, just happened to join this instance and never had an issue. I do see some German subs but not an issue.

Kobo is coming out a clear winner here with Boox in second place. Thanks.

Interstate good to know. Thanks dude.

Boox is coming in a close second here. Interesting that it’s Android, does it still have e-ink display so it’s not viable for Plex or Jellyfin?

Kobo does seem to be winning right now but good shout on a used kindle and jailbreaking. Something for me to keep as an option.

Ahh another one added to the mix. Who knew there were so many options.

Thanks for the Readarr link though. Very helpful!

Boox is coming in second it seems after Kobo still be researching both for my needs.

Thanks.

Kobo is winning so far as it’s getting a lot of recommendations.

Thanks. I’ll bear this in mind but don’t want another project right now as my media server takes up some time. But I’ll keep it in mind for the future.

Thanks. Another one to add to the list lol.

I keep meaning to set up my media server with Usenet over torrents but never get around to it.

Thanks. I personally hate Amazon and would never give them by money but appreciate your input and I don’t judge others who do use Amazon as it’s your right to shop where you choose.

Thanks. Looks like Kobo is winning so far. I hate Amazon so would never get a kindle.
