  • I went through essentially the same thing a couple months ago. Tried Calibre (and Calibre server) since everyone recommended it.

    Really disliked it. Calibre is great for converting ebooks, but has shit management and webserving capabilities.

    I ended up with Kavita and am super happy. On the web client, both management and actual reading are a pleasure. Any phone/tablet client supporting OPDS works perfectly to read/download your manga/books from the server.

    And a select few clients go a step further, supporting Kavita’s API, which allows for 2-way sync (effectively, syncing reading progress between all your devices).





  • I got a spam message with a phishing link… Via Github? Seriously? Are we really doing this?

    Not a completely unusual comment… From the URL it was very obvious that this was a phishing link though. Curiosity got the better of me. The site shows you a “cloudflare” captcha. OK, let’s click the checkbox. The usual loading animation starts, then this is shown:

    Yeah ok, right…

    I’m actually a bit impressed with this, these captchas are so common, I didn’t even really think about checking the box. But of course, that interaction means the browser will allow the site to add something to your clipboard.

    But like… Why distribute it via Github? I cannot think of a worse audience to try and con into “paste something random into your windows console”. Am I just being naive here? Is this something common I somehow never experienced before?






  • I still find it hilarious that since dd-wrt and OpenWrt are just… Linux, you could install Super Mario Bros on there. I checked, nobody seems to have tried.

    Oh, definitely, but there are varying degrees of difficulty, esp. with what kinds of packages / package management you have available :D

    Ah, that make sense. Is Wireguard P2P?

    Yes, in the sense that each node/device is a peer. But the way I’d suggest you configure it in your case is more akin to a client/server setup - your devices forward all traffic to the “server”, but it never takes initiative to talk “back” to them, and they do not attempt to communicate with each other. Unless you have a separate usecase for that, of course.

    You both are perfect for each other, so don’t screw it up!
