I can, but I’m not happy with it. If you containerize this setup, each container needs it’s own Calibre instance and it’s very inefficient. I run it on Proxmox and plan to either package it all in a single Docker image or roll it into my Ansible playbook on a different VM.

Sure. I don’t see how that affects what I said, though?

I hope the reason they took so long is that they were waiting on a really good color e-ink screen, but I doubt it. That said, I love my Kobo Sage and my LazyLibrarian + Calibre-web + Kobo Sync workflow, and if you can do the same on these, then they’ll probably be a good buy.

I use it to set and manage timers in the kitchen. It’s not as good as Google, and the setup to get timers working is hacky, but it does the job and has fully replaced my Google Home when combined with a home assistant dashboard I have on my kitchen wall.

ICANN is certainly not perfect, but there is a difference between the automatic control that countries have over their ccTLD and the control they have through ICANN.

The problem is who controls them. The government of each country can decide at any moment that they want to take control of their TLD and remove any sites that they don’t like. It’s just not good practice if you want your site to stick around.

Yes, and that would have happened months from now. The Taliban shut them down immediately.

Oh I’m fully aware haha, and the article is on a CO site. At the time I made my account, lemmy.ml seemed to be the best option, even with the poor TLD choice.

Not really. The Taliban took control of .af a while ago. It wasn’t them taking control that broke things, it was that they specifically targeted certain domains and took them down using control they had secured previously, with queer.af being a great example.

Care to explain how this is clickbait?

The mouse was never the best tool for a lot of computing jobs, it was just what caught on.

I still primarily use my computers as a desktop, and I don’t like it when software requires me to reach over to my pointing device. When it does, the majority of the time I reach for a trackball which is far more comfortable.

After dabbling with tiling windows managers in Linux some years ago, I came to realize that pointing devices are often the slow way to do things.

The main thing I want a pointing device for these days is for scrolling through documents and web pages, and the vast majority of mice are just bad at that. Precision scrolling is only available on a handful of mice, and its niche enough that consistent software implementation is just not a thing.

I’ll still keep a mouse on hand for playing the occasional video game that works better with one, but that’s not really how I like to play games usually.

The idea that it shares the same features as anything else we consider “property” is the problem, so why call it property? The only thing that one can “own” in this regime is the license itself, and that doesn’t go away just because someone violates its terms.

Intellectual property is an umbrella term for copyright, patents, and trademarks used to make it sound like “property” is “stolen” when licensing agreements are violated.

“Intellectual property” as a concept is designed to trick people into thinking copyright, trademark, and patent infringement are equivalent to theft. It’s an incorrect and pernicious use of the word “theft”.

This is definitely shitty.

Related: JerryRigEverything just came out with a video about this and titled “I got robbed” and called it theft a bunch of times. This is copyright infringement, maybe trademark infringement, but not “theft” or “robbery”. No property or money was taken from any party such that they no longer have access to it. It’s important to be accurate about this.

Edit:

Here is a list of all the media I’ve found surrounding this that falsely claims stealing, theft or robbery:

• Techlinked “dbrand was ROBBED” https://youtu.be/2yEE34BeBnA?si=i0oKsJRV8CQUs4P0
• JerryRigEverything “I’VE BEEN ROBBED” https://youtu.be/byfWscC87Vg?si=XJosK1Ubor5fWueW
• Engadget “Dbrand is suing Casetify for allegedly stealing its casd and skin designs” https://www.engadget.com/dbrand-is-suing-casetify-for-allegedly-stealing-its-case-and-skin-designs-221012321.html
• dbrand “Casetify stole our products. Now we’re suing them.” https://twitter.com/dbrand/status/1727721586856222893

Yeah, solar + wind + highly connected grids can go a long way to balance loads and make up for the intermittent nature of wind and solar.

I know it’s not ideal, but a bar chart design could either focus on the difference over time for each source, or the difference between sources at each time. This plot gives a good representation of both the differences between sources and the change in time for each source. It really drives home how far solar prices have fallen relative to other sources and in absolute terms.

everything from rearranging the keys (for instance I use vim, so I swap esc and capslock), to changing tap and hold behaviors (my capslock key does esc on tap and ctrl on hold), to really elaborate stuff like tap dances (https://thomasbaart.nl/2018/12/13/qmk-basics-tap-dance/), all while being configured directly on the firmware of the keyboard, so it just works no matter what computer it’s plugged into, and it doesn’t have any weirdness that comes with software remapping tools.

This has a lot of tight tolerances and lots of little things that have to go just right. Start with simple projects like brackets for things or raspberry pi enclosures. Look at printables.com or one of the other sites for inspiration.
