Oh this is kinda cool honestly

I read it twice and it still doesn’t make sense

This may be a dumb question but isn’t OTA TV still basically exactly what you describe?

How would they know? I assume they must track IPs used by popular VPN services?

Yeah I run HAOS in a VM but I keep a backup on an SD card that I can pop into a raspi if for whatever reason the server is down.

CWA largely removes the need for running Calibre.

I use CWA for the main book “hub” and upload everything (audiobooks and comics too) to it. Then I have audiobookshelf scan the calibre directory, and Komga do the same because the app I use for comics (cdisplayex) doesn’t sync with Koreader yet.

On the client side I use Koreader, Lissen and Cdisplayex.

It works fine but it would be nice to have one app that syncs all progress. And my holy grail is one that can sync ebook and audiobook progress like Amazon’s whispersync!

Excited for the official KDE Distro. I am a big fan of Fedora Kinoite but will probably give KDE a show once it is out of beta.

No Photogimp is not enough lol

They’ve just rebranded La Suite Meet anyway,

I was basing it off the top comment here which said “They’ve just rebranded La Suite Meet” (which isn’t E2E) but it looks like that person might have just been talking out their ass anyway.

Honestly? I would probably pay for a GIMP clone that has a photoshop-like UI and can be installed via flatpak. $70 is a little high but if it was $20 and received regular updates?

what is it

The open source version isn’t E2E encrypted fyi

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).

Honestly kinda what I was suspecting as well. Every time I see an “AI is advancing rapidly” take without actual examples of what it can do I wonder how much of it is a degree of psychosis.

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