Wait Calibre is there??? Oh my god no.


There is no bottom for the people looking extract every ounce of wealth from the rest of us.


I’d wager even the 1% is the stereotypical “solution in search of a problem”. Seems to be a reoccurring theme as of late in the tech industry.


It isn’t done. It really is never done. Purely from a “keeping the lights on” mode, you still fix minor bugs, update dependencies, fix vulnerabilities and maybe even make small code changes. Outside of that, you are always implementing new features, fixing old features, or creating tests/automation. All of that takes a lot of work and requires manpower.


It has been breaking a lot lately and it’s really sad. I pretty much pull all of my content off of YouTube now through yt-dlp so once that goes, im pretty much entirely YouTube free. I absolutely refuse to use it in the state it’s in now and really wish more creators would offer content on other platforms. Yt-dip is amazing and great but shouldn’t be the permanent solution.


Yeah I’m not quite sure you understand how webpages or the massive backend processes that keep it afloat work.


I know it’s not DOS per se but just getting into Caves of Qud and MAN I’m loving it.


Why the hell would anybody ever want to be on a platform for children? Why would any parent allow their kids on a platform for adults?


How is Matrix dysfunctional?


Setting up Matrix/Synapse was extremely easy and done in a day. The self hosting part is not that hard and I would say migrating users would be the majority of your time. Plenty of VPSs online make obtaining infrastructure very easy.


Are you self hosting? I just set up an instance today and it was extremely easy following the instructions for the ESS Community edition on github.


Borg Base offers EU based server locations. They have been awesome to work with.


I simply use both. New book comes in, add to Calibre to get most metadata down pat and move to my library, then gets imported into Booklore where I can easily make minor changes/fixes and that’s it. I use Booklore for reading across many of my devices.
You could get rid of Calibre in my stack, I just find it nice for local management on my host PC.


Need to remember where they are getting paid from as well. That’s oil money lining their pockets.


Usually people advise against trying to time the market. Missing the down is one thing but if you miss the way back up then that is a lot of potential profit gone. Weathering the storm is typically the better option.


Better. Cat people pushing their narrative making me want a cat.
That’s really incredible as it was the defacto spot for git version controlled software since what feels like forever.
