  • Following the article about old school forums dying, a reminder that there is !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com that is dedicated to promote the Fediverse. Pinned posts have resources everyone can use.

  • I'm not sure what this post is trying to convey. The fediverse is another thing designed to kill old school forums, I thought?

    Least garbage printer manufacturer?

  • Multifunction copier printer scanners are usually consumer crap. The good stuff is generally single function. Monochrome is more of a solved problem than color, I think.

  • Avoids the need for a network connection or server, though I guess you could run it on a local socket. The UI might be preferable too.

  • Italy demands Google poison DNS under strict Piracy Shield law

  • I'm surprised they aren't making the same demands of the relevant TLDs. Or are they trying that and failing? If yes, why would they have better chances with Google?

  • I got the black adder spoonerism but not the rest of the joke. Is it worth asking? I haven't seen the show.

  • If the kobo hardware device can read drm'd epubs, it is "using drm" to do so. I'm asking if Calibre can read those same drm epubs. Do you know if it can, maybe by adding a plugin? I know there was something like that for Kindle files. Thanks.

  • Thanks yeah I don't have a kobo reader so was asking if there was a way to read paid-for kobo downloaded books that have drm, similar to how decss lets you watch DVDs that you bought. I don't mind paying for books but don't want a locked down reading device with it's own crappy software and possible invasive phoning home.

  • Might be easiest to join a ready made monarchy in that case. All you have to do then is claw your way through the ranks til you reach the throne. No need to change the constitution. :)

    Jump

  • Yes I've been using the calibre client app under Debian MATE and it's decent. I'm a Luddite though, so sometimes I convert epubs to plain text with pandoc and read them in emacs or a terminal.

  • I didn't downvote anything fwiw.

  • Thanks. What I meant is, if I buy a kobo book off bn.com, can I read it with calibre? Those books usually have drm but maybe calibre can bypass it.

  • Thanks, I didn't know about that. I might try it.

  • Nice but 1) doesn't Kobo use DRM? 2) I had thought selfhosted was about server apps. Calibre is great but it's a client app. Should this post be in a different group?

  • Inhibit sleep when running stuff in the terminal. Thoughts?

  • I remember writing a script that posted an X event 1x a minute for something like that. The event was probably simulating pressing the shift key.

  • Looking for people to interview about my self-hosted bookmark manager

    Jump

  • In an interview I'm fine with any structure or topics you want. By informal structure I meant in the software UI, not the interview. I'll to post more tomorrow or so.

    Jump

  • I'll try to take a closer look and I might be up for an interview, since the concept interests me. I generally prefer less formal structure. Do you remember DMOZ? It might even still be around.

  • Looks interesting, first thing I notice is that the demo loads rather slowly. Why not just a wiki?
