Nothing stopping you from making a post when you see a service on sale!

It seems to be implying that SoCs will soon become so fast and efficient that they will always outperform custom builds in every category including price.

There’s an argument to be made there (not saying I agree).

Komga maybe? It’s made for comics/manga but they can be grouped.

Booklore was discovered to be vibe-coded and riddled with security issues. The dev shut down the project when discovered. Best avoided for now.

KOReader is not “fake epaper”, it’s an app designed to be used on ereaders which means it’s UI is high contrast. FWIW I agree it’s not ideal for an OLED phone screen, but it’s definitely not fake epaper (more like the opposite) and makes me think you might be accidentally using something else?

(Also KOReader is not for “certain” devices, it’s FOSS and installs on basically any ereader, including Kindle, Kobo and anything running android like Boox).

What CWA does is it integrates a KOreader sync server (can also be ran independently). In future updates CWA’s web reader will sync with this progress, but for now it only shows up in the UI like this:

THAT ALL SAID, if you are only using the WebUI and don’t want to wait for CWA to update their web reader, Komga is a simple app (originally designed for Manga but will work fine with books) that has a web reader that will also remember your progress (and fwiw there is a KOReader plugin in case you want to sync that progress with an epaper device in the future).

It was the UI he didn’t like so it’s not going to be much different.

Yunohost seems the community pick these days. I also played around with CasaOS and found it very user friendly. Though development on that one seems to have stalled.

It’s also a pretty big exaggeration of what actually happened which is that it generated and posted some technically inaccurate information.

I’ve actually encountered a lot of free radio streams with human DJs for at least the majority of the day. Two off the top of my head:

https://www.nts.live/

https://www.thelotradio.com/ (this one even has a camera on the DJ)

Do these have actual human djs? Not a criticism, just wondering

This is cool, so I could theoretically just set up a Plex/Jellyfin library and not need a youtube account?

Yeah this was my thought ever since I heard that they saw LLM “search” as the future. “Search” inasmuch as it still exists on Google is already pay-to-play, this is just changing who gets paid.

Since I first learned about Linux I have never envisioned a future where Linux didn’t eventually take over essentially all operating system spaces and I still don’t. The question is how long will it take to get there.

But as others have said, I think the overall decline of desktop PC use combined with the just pure overall quality of Linux compared to Mac and Windows PCs in 2026 implies that the x86 PC space will become majority Linux within the next 10 years if not less.

My pleasure! It kind of reminds me of Snow Crash in that it’s really fun and adventurous but also made me think deep thoughts.

Cory Doctorow has a novel “Walkaway” which is basically “what if society but FOSS”. It’s really good!

To answer your question, while it has a lot in common with anarchism I don’t think anyone benefits from trying to fit it into a predefined political box. It’s something new.

Libelec (kodi) is fine if only playing local media but its use for anything else except realdebrid is extremely lacking. On the plus side it will run great on an Rpi5 and if you go that route you can probably even use your TV remote because Libelec has excellent CEC support.

Jellyfin/Plex is something your TV also probably has an app for, so you wouldn’t even need a media center, just a media server.

Plasma Bigscreen is making slow gains, but in a couple of years will probably be the definitive Linux media center PC.

Also a bit unconventional, but Bazzite can load directly into Steam’s big picture mode. From there you could set shortcuts for Jellyfin or Plex HTPC.

They seem to be working on uh, syncing all the sync features. There have been some updates recently.

My understanding is that it wasn’t so much his “choice in tools” it was privacy concerns surrounding that choice.

I think CWA is the one to watch. It’s progress has been slower but steady.

Crazy. It had a meteoric rise.

I guess CWA is the one to use now. In a way I’m glad the space will have only a single major player.
