I’m afraid to tell you that your e-book deDRMing is very much considered piracy. 😅

Piracy is easier than ever IMO. 20 years ago it was messy, and full of viruses and fake content. Nowadays there’s plug&play pirate services with refined content.

There’s so much people in the world today convinced that their subscriptions are worth it that I think they’ll let pirates coexist in peace, because they know pirates wouldn’t pay for it anyways.

Link us to one of these examples, it doesn’t seem that hard to get

Oh I am very sorry, I think I did not express myself properly. I wasn’t particularly referring to you, but rather the typical user who will answer to the “Musk is one of the richest” with the “company value” thing.

I do think tho that whatever your opinion on Musk’s companies is, the market clearly thinks otherwise, which banks are part of it.

Also, I strongly dislike Musk. But it’s very clear to me that he has enough power to do whatever he wants like wasting lots of money trying new things until something sticks.

He might not be now, but like a year ago he was the richest human ever. I don’t think he’s fallen from the top 20. And that is just the official numbers. Imagine what might be hidden.

And don’t come to me with the “but shares are not money”. Shares are basically money, and you can even use them to convince banks to give you more.

That’s what happens when you have so much money that you can just do crazy things knowing that statistically something will make money.

I don’t now about numbers, but quality-wise… It’s another world.

Not my experience so far with my single service I’ve been running for a year. It’s making me even think of opening up even more stuff.

Sponsors will pay if you are big enough, no matter the platform. If PeerTube went big, you’d probably start seeing sponsors.

Then publish on both!

I am expecting that is exactly the point. I don’t think they’ll win, tho. We’ll find a way around it.

If you are not hosting, it having a repo on Github makes no difference. The server you are connecting to might have a different service running and you cannot know.

AI in web search is not going anywhere. Deal with it.

This force is unstoppable, whether you like it or not. So you better spend your time adapting.

I don’t know if Merkuro Calendar has been ported to Windows yet

Oh, wow, I do have HAOS on my Pi so this one is a strong strong candidate.

Kobo is open source? I don’t think so.

Well, it’s broken again, then

Syncthing?

Emm… I did, it’s this post 😅

It’s more like: I know people do this, but I don’t, so I wanted to see what was the reasoning behind these things.

That was an amazing read. Thank you.

What do you say is the use case for separating guest Wi-Fi with the more “private” stuff on your network?

As far as I understand… Basically all communications, even inside a network, are encrypted… So I guess you do that to avoid someone trying to exploit some vulnerability?

IMO there is something magical about having it all running under such a small footprint device, where a simple aluminum case brings it enough cooling.

Obviously if you want to go for huge media consumption or local AI, then it won’t be enough, but for running Home Assistant, qBitTorrent, syncthing… You’ll be fine and supergreen.

Your plan sounds like exactly what Piped or Invidious are doing, just that you do want to do it yourself, on your server, so it’s worse in terms of privacy.

They are gonna love it when their chatbot also chooses that man’s dead wife.

Looks good, but seems a bit outdated? Are you using it?

As I said… I know of its existance but it seems like distribution channels are non-existant, which makes me precautious about using it.

Can you turn off the computer with KDE Connect?

The main goal of these projects (SearxNG, Piped, Invidious, Nitter…) is to make it way harder to track users by having thousands of users make requests from one single place. If you host this service just for yourself… you’d get the same tracking as using the service itself.

Self-hosting just for yourself damages the community a bit because your data will not be used to confuse Google and the other guys.

I don’t think it makes sense to self-host these services, unless you plan to open it up for everyone.

Do you really think these years existed?

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I strongly suggest to try Libretube, it’s better IMO.

Maybe publish a new Mastodon post linking to this Lemmy post? Simply don’t answer the post with this weird thing that makes no sense under the Lemmy context.

Newish Kindle (basic) user here. Any issue aside from battery life to justify airplane mode always on?

Being able to translate or look stuff up on Wikipedia is amazing for me.

I find this one fairly useless nowadays, maybe except for a couple websites. But even Wikipedia nowadays has a native dark mode.

I’ve been doing my research and I feel that opus should be the way to go? Can have chapters and compression is the best there is. I read that m4b keeps track of where you left… but I feel that that should not be the task of an audio file?

What’s your setup then?
