Sure. As a fork, it has all of the benefits of Calibre-web. It’s stable, well established, versitile, works well with Calibre desktop software (they are three different projects, despite the similar names). Yet it has a number of different features like automatic ingest, writing/converting files, sending to different devices, etc. There is a pretty complete list on the GitHub page I linked. It has a big community and active development, so its likely that any features you might look for could be coming soon.

There are other self hosted software projects for ebooks (you can even use Jellyfin!). I had switched to Booklore at one point for a more modern UI and tracking, but it was more flash than execution and ultimately looks like it flamed out over some community issues. There are also projects like Kavita that are designed for features around comics/manga, but also do an excellent job with ebooks in general.

You should consider two things: what the library looks like, and where it will be read. If it is mostly books with a few other media (like comics, PDFs, etc.), then CWA is probably a good bet. If it’s mostly comics and manga with some books and other media, consider whether Kavita is the better fit. If it is mostly DRM content, and you or if you want to manage it through Calibre Desktop, how does it connect? How often are new books being added and from where?

What screen will it ultimately be read on? If it’s an ereader, check out the “books” and “self-hosted” communities here on Lemmy for which protocol, etc. is used. If it will be read on a computer or mobile device, what apps are available? Will it be read on multiple devices?

For example, if it is a small library, read on an Android/iOS device, Jellyfin with JellyBook may be fine. If it is a large manga library already tracked on AniList, Kavita may be a good bet. If features like notes and highlights are important to sync across devices, something like Anx Reader with WebDAV might even be better.

What OP describes is an excellent setup for 90% of cases.

According to the article it was timed before the final.

Excellent writeup! Thanks for posting. Lately, I’ve been using Calibre Web Automated, an active fork with a lot of added features and compatibility features.

Depending on someone’s setup it may or not be worth it to switch (Calibre-web works great), but I’d definitely recommend it for someone starting up.

In this case, OP is the author and probably chose the photo so maybe they’ll change it.

see, the problem here is it looks like someone sealed the tableware in carbonite.

For example, using insider knowledge to manipulate stock markets will lead to the government taking away your earnings and sending you to prison.

An athlete using their position on the team to change the outcome of a game in order to win bets is generally met with ejection from the team and league, and there may be financial and legal penalties as well.

Casinos generally have detailed regulations to ensure that their games are fair representations of what is presented.

I’m not sure what country you’re in, but you should probably take a closer look at the legal codes around sports betting.

Polymarket itself faces different levels of prohibition in many countries around the world.

Generally, legal gambling has lots of protections and controls in place to at least theoretically limit manipulation of the odds.

It’s also probably very bad for humans to gamble on things like wildfires or war crimes.

No the point of the website is to use insider knowledge to scam rubes, while the website takes its cut.

Potayto Patahto.

They really are all just cut from the same cloth, huh?

A Newsweek review of the documents posted on the White House’s website found no evidence supporting Trump’s claim that foreign interference or fraud had altered the outcome of any election, including the 2020 presidential election.

The president’s latest allegations have already come under scrutiny from dozens of lawmakers and Democratic leaders who say they amount to little more than unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.

Ah, there it is.

Thank you. Looks like I mistakenly removed the link while editing. Should be fixed now.

Thanks, looks like I removed the link when adding the thumbnail. Should be fixed now.

No worries, our plan is just to become to games what Hot Topic is to music.

It’s exactly like that. The best thing is to say thank you and continue on.

Some people have been having their parents do their homework for them most of their lives. And it shows.

I didn’t see the comment, but that should have been removed as well. When you cross post from certain clients it will include the entire original text that was in the original post, which in this case was nearly all of the article. Some clients may hide the content of the cross-post although I’m not sure why. Now that I see the comments, I see that another user even mentioned this fact to you, so it’s clear that you were aware of it.

I’m not sure what client you’re using to cross post or what client you’re viewing it from. Regardless, the post itself includes the cross-posted text. This is an issue with Lemmy cross-posting, and you would have to take that up with the devs.

It would be appropriate to continue this conversation through direct messages.

If an entire post was removed due to a rule-breaking comment, please let me know because that is certainly an error. Send me the link or the mod log entry and I’d be happy to review it.

It doesn’t break the rules at all. Almost everyone who posts here includes a one or two paragraph quote.

Just post an excerpt.

If you offered a friend a bite of your lunch, you wouldn’t want them to gobble up 80-90% of your food. If a friend let you borrow a car as long as you put gas in, you wouldn’t return it with 1/8 of the tank and call it good.

Use common sense, and remember that these rules exist for the protection and safety of the community. Mods are just users who volunteer their time to keep things running smoothly.

I’ve switched to Picard, too. I do think for a task like this a GUI makes a big difference. I tried with beets, but you really have to do a lot of research in advance to understand what it is doing and the settings you need, and it’s not one-size-fits-all.

If you don’t have a lot of indie stuff, and you primarily have whole albums, AND you have the patience to go through your entire library one track at a time, then I’m sure it works fine.

The advantage of Picard is that you can see many tracks at a glance to focus on the ones that need attention. Plus you can pause at any time and pick up where you left off.

I now do almost all of this through Strawberry, which has Picard built in.
