my 6 year-old asked me to create a restaurant menu with her. she accounted well for inflation, I thought.

It is done. I am now self-hosting my audiobook library using Audiobookshelf, and using the iOS app Prologue (specifically their beta, which supports ABS), and buying books from Libro.fm, XigXag, direct from publishers and local libraries. Bye Audible 👋

Does anyone have a preferred solution for playing DRM-free audiobooks on iOS? I like BookPlayer, but I have too many books to store on my phone and only want to download on demand.. I’m also a @libro.fm user but can’t access my existing library in their player

Work team deployed a total infrastructure overhaul to production this morning (EC2 -> ECS) after months of planning. This has been on my bucket list for years and the migration couldn't have gone smoother. And now I might sleep better 😴
