I have Tasker running, and you can set it up to do this too. Between ntfy and Google’s version I think I’m covered already!

Most of the manga I have is amateur translated stuff, so the metadata quality varies with release groups.

The graphic novels are generally retail releases, but sometimes I still want to edit to get rid of marketing words (e.g. the title might mention how it’s now a Netflix series or something).

I guess I’ve just been lucky then! I’ve stripped DRM off everything else, so I expect theirs would come off using the same tools.

The latest Kindle update broke the jailbreak even if it was installed, so you’ll need to stop updates. You could just leave it in airplane mode, but not being able to use the internet to pull down books from your Calibre-web server means you may as well just send books via Calibre.

I’m planning on getting a Kobo Clara BW when my Kindle dies (it’s currently got holes at the corners and a few dodgy-sounding rattles so soon™). Then I can use Koreader+Calibre-web to download books and sync read state like you can do with Amazon.

So your process here is get comics -> comictagger -> upload to server and kavita, correct?

Pretty much, apart from that I often add them and only fix if necessary, e.g. they’re not going into series properly.

None of the books I’ve bought from kobo.com have DRM.

I went with ntfy as well - you can set the different levels to alert in different ways and my max priority is set to always ring even if the phone is on silent. Mostly I use max prio as a find-my-phone tool, but there are real alerts that would use it.

Ebooks: I use Calibre locally and Calibre-web on the server (read-only metadata db, I overwrite with the Calibre version as tagging, etc is far easier on desktop).

You can connect Koreader to Calibre-web and until maybe a fortnight ago you could jailbreak a Kindle and use Koreader instead of the default software. Now you’ll need to manually move files over, or use the email-to-Kindle option (probably a bad idea, but I expect Amazon can tell if you’ve side loaded pirated content anyway). Nowadays I buy from not-Amazon sources, strip any DRM and send it over.

Manga/comics/graphic novels: I use Kavita on the server and I use comictagger on desktop to fix the metadata.

I’m happy to use different set ups for the different types as they’re quite different experiences and specialist tools work better.

I wasn’t entirely serious, but…

If memory serves, you just add lemmyverse.link/ after the https:// bit, so it’d be
https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282

It looks like lemsha.re works similarly:
https://lemsha.re/https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282

It’s a bit weird that it insists on the link being via https but then includes that in the url…

You missed a great opportunity to use lemshare/lemmyverse here

I just went to look for answers this, since report-uri.com is killing its free tier, and the lowest paid is way higher than my usage justifies. What did you settle on?

There’s kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.

Oh, that’s LAN - I thought you’d put ian and I was trying to get the joke. Stupid sans-serif fonts.

I’d assumed it was servers running on renewable power, although I’m not sure how they measure that. I know some hosting companies and CDNs have that as an option, but I don’t see how you’d know if each server chose that option so I guess it’s more like “servers with green hosting companies”.

Don’t downvote stuff just because you’re not interested in it! There’s no algorithm you’re training, you’re just being rude to people.

Downvotes should be for worthless content and people being dicks.

I just now noticed it was gone. Did it just vanish one day, or did its users at least have some hint?

edit: looks like it was a surprise: https://lemmyverse.link/mander.xyz/post/12163154

Mbin seems like a healthy project, and the only sensible move from kbin.

I went with Fedora on my VPS because I was also planning to use rootless Podman. Quadlets and running everything through systemd with SELinux enabled is working pretty well for me.

The author has no idea how to get his audience on-side! He starts with bragging about his 6400% profit margin on domain he resold, in a market where there’s no customer value for middlemen.

At least antique dealers will identify pieces as rare, clean/restore them and put them for sale in a more visible place. Whereas domain reselling is about as ethical as ticket touting.

So, they’re just going to add a QR code? Of course, you could already do that, but having it built in and be the default process would probably help.

I think of a lurker as someone who doesn’t post - I guess your definition is someone who doesn’t interact at all (besides making an account and subscribing, I assume). But yes, I mean users who only vote are now counted (it’s not using views afaik).
