Yeah I looked into the Kobo store and a LOT of the books I have - which are not exactly small titles - aren’t available there.

In some cases they’ve got the first couple books or audiobooks out of a series that currently has 10

The color might make more sense if you’re into manga or graphical novels as opposed to just ebooks

This doesn’t track.

To pull my books into calibre, I need to first download them onto the Kindle, which requires wifi.

The problem with incarcerating corrupt populists is that a sympathetic politician may vary well release them on the future. Korea has charged and imprisoned former leaders only to have subsequent ones free them.

Not really surprising that short video clips would be used to target people with lower critical-thinking skills and attention spans

Yeah exempting underwear, socks, and significant change in body size I’d likely be good for a few decades

Yeah, going from “Google Play Music” to “YouTube Music” was such a downgrade. Shit like Bluetooth had more issues with YTM, and they completely eliminated the ability to purchase music. It sucks and there are still no good alternatives on Android :-(

Not to mention that in Witcher 3 there were already plenty of Ciri “flashback” missions.

I kinda wonder if they’ll be doing the same in reverse and she’ll be saving Geralt’s ass this time around as the main plot

Some are useful. It’s not uncommon for scammers to throw up copies of legitimate sites, but hosting malware etc. Having tried to deal with Google, GoDaddy-et-al I can attest that their fucks given about such things is minimal but one of these companies can get offending sites taken down pretty quick.

The problem is when they don’t do due-diligence (and don’t face reasonable consequences for failing in said diligence) and then shit like this happens

Fixed fine on a sliding scale for repeat offenders

Hydroelectric is great where it is available, but it’s again limited by landscape and other factors in use

Night? Longer periods of cloudy days or storms?

You’re not LOSING anything if it’s capturing already excess energy, which would by its nature be lost if not used at the time of generation

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this feels like a good place for Hydrogen power to step in.

One of the oft repeated concerns is that generating hydrogen to power vehicles the takes a lot of energy, which often comes from dirty sources.

One of the oft repeated issues for solar (or wind etc) is that it’s available at certain times and not in and of itself storable or transportable, so excess is lost.

So, take the excess solar energy, produce hydrogen and store for off-peak times or to distribute.

Seems like a win to me.

Meanwhile Charles Darwin looks on approvingly…

Old cilantro that’s starting to go bad maybe. That has a very “earthy” smell similar to an over-watered plant

What’s the name of the mod?

Oh hell yeah. I wouldn’t trust an SDCard to anything important except maybe a Pi where the actual OS is fairly unimportant and the data is stored elsewhere.

I had been wondering about the G series Ryzen. Is this running in a standard tower or something rackable?

I used NextCloud in a Docker container but found that unless I was really on top of checking versions for updates, it was very easy to get behind and then unless one way VERY careful about going up in the correct increments, it was quite easy to end up with a version mismatch between the files and DB structure.

As much as I hate SNAP (mainly due to them being overused on Ubuntu desktop and bloaty blobs full of weird permission issues) I’ve got to say that moving to a SNAP version of NextCloud on my server has made my life so much easier. A scheduled job runs a “snap refresh” regularly and it’s been fairly stable for over a year now, except for one small incident where it broke the reference to the internal office suite install and for some reason stated trying to go with a localhost version

Damn, that’s actually pretty sexy for a fresh-air rack How’s the noise levels?
