All these lawsuits do is show me new cool stuff that Internet Archive has.

They're just removing an antiquated file type that you should have moved on from anyway. All my books are in epub format and even if they weren't calibre converts them so I don't think this is a significant change at all.

I'm a big stupid and can come one smart explain why this doesn't work in reality?

Slowly? It's been in hell since I was a child.

Thank God I moved to programming.dev recently. I may have to make a burner on dbzero just in case.

I remember at a point limewire or frostwire had movies you could download. Young me downloaded the little mermaid but it was a porn parody and I scared myself for life.

I think what Apple has done with their M series of chips is actually incredible and very interesting. However actually purchasing their hardware is just out of the question when I'm just going to run a Linux distro on whatever I purchase.

I hate this.

After years of using Feeder on my phone and some other random stuff on my laptop, I switched to FreshRSS on my server and the big thing is everything stays synced. My read and stared articles are all where they should be. I run fluent reader on all my devices and tailscale keeps me always connected to my reader so I can save articles on my phone when I don't have time to read them then read them when I get home on my laptop or tablet.

Maybe it's about Elon's "ai."

If you go the android route turn on Apps Only Mode in the settings. It gets rid of the home screen ads for the most part and disabled a lot of the "features" that Google tries to push.

My Chromecast is doing it's job fine with app only mode but the day they change it or take away that mode I've got some mini PCs ready to have libreelec thrown up on them.

What do you mean? I watched dunkey's weird video and I still don't understand. Hoopla is digital content from library's, free and available for anyone. I'm confused as to this standpoint you have.

I was one of those old purchasers. There was a huge uproar on the subreddit back in the day cause they said everyone who purchased the app before the subscription model would only get like 1 or 2 years of subscription access instead of lifetime. People got so pissed they changed it to lifetime.

As long as you set it up correctly ( unlike myself) and go through your media to make sure you don't accidentally have duplicates (like I do) it shouldn't take up much space. The actual -arrs themselves don't use hardly any space.

So this worked and I was unable to use transmission without gluetun connecting properly. Is it normal for some clients to just be faster with the same torrents? Like about was at like 1-2mib and transmission with the same torrent is running at 4-5.

What's cult like about nobara? I use it on a few devices because it has the kernel patches for Microsoft surface devices already patched in.

I only ever send in epub format. In the article it clarifies that Amazon recommends the sending of epub.

Mobilism has been a go to for me. Someone recommended it here a while back. Its far from perfect but I only grab an audio book maybe a few times a year so it works for me.

I use deemix and jellyfin for playback. Browsing on deemix is not as good as spotube but I like it.

There's a docker container that I run on my server.

That's the container I use. It's good enough imo.

They should have gone with a common design for all the logos. I main tumbleweed and I think this is dumb and confusing to potential newcomers to openSUSE's distros.

On my Microsoft Surface laptop I had a horrible experience with sleep and wake on close and open with windows. More than half the time it wouldn't wake up on its own and I would have to either have an external keyboard or just turn it off. Currently that same laptop is running opensuse tumbleweed and wake and sleep on close and open works about 85 percent of the time. It isn't perfect still but it's way better than windows was.

I purchased pocketcasts years ago when it was a one time fee and when they moved to a subscription model they gave everyone who purchased a lifetime pass on the subscription model but that rubbed me so wrong I moved away from it. Currently I run Audiobookshelf on my server and have all my podcasts in a library on there. Works really well and I have control over it.

I'll say that I've run both Kavita and Calibre+Calibre-Web. I've stuck with running Calibreand Calibre Web together. Kavita was great but since I read on kindle and Kavita-email never worked for me I went back to Calibre. I also prefer calibre since it lets me convert files and change the cover images.

Personally I had more issues getting kavita to work the way I wanted than I did with calibre.

It's in settings > accounts and sign in > your Gmail account > apps only mode . I have to scroll down for it on my Chromecast but if you have it on your Sony it should be in there.

Casting is always weird with networking like that. I'd highly recommend trying to find a way to run jellyfin locally cause nothing will really make Tailscale play nice with casting in my experience.

I'm working on getting an opnsense client together but money is tight so this is definitely the route I'm going to go once I am able.

I saw that once a while ago on reddit. If you're pirating you should be hosting it on jellyfin or something then you'll never even have a chance of Microsoft seeing your data.

How does that make his contributions wrong?

I myself switched to Audiobookshelf. I initially set it up for my wife to have her audio books while traveling but I found it does podcasts and normal epub books really well also.

Given what you've got running I only really recommend, as other have, portainer. It's made my life so much easier. Edited this since I saw you have homarr and I must've missed it the first time.

A few years ago I would have said every day, but I got a really good pair of Bluetooth Bose headphones that have wireless charging so I don't have to worry about anything anymore. After work they get put on a charging pad then in the morning I grab them and they're ready to go.

Preemptive defeding I think is bad. You can't convince people to move to better options if you never have a chance to interact with them in the first place. Obviously there may be reason to defed in the future but to do it prematurely is a mistake that will isolate the fediverse in a way that is uninviting to new people unfamiliar with the space.

All of those are funny and obviously untrue. Using Wikipedia isn't a one stop perfect information system. Knowing how to use it comes with knowing how to use the sources.
