  • Here Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server

    Jump

  • Yes, they share the database. Yes, I add the books to calibre. I think I have it as read only for calibre-web.

    Regarding overcomplication, I admit the initial setup took a while. But I've had it running for a couple years now with no major issues.

  • Here Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server

    Jump

  • There's a docker that essentially sets up a web VNC for Calibre. I do this for file conversion, DRM removal (only books I buy), etc.

    Then I use Calibre-web for the OPDS server and nice web UI.

  • I tried AI, was impressed by it, and it's embarrassing; Need advice

  • Funny enough one of the best use cases I have found has been for information retrievel then generation.

    Spot on. And not just baked into the model but also extracted from the code base.

    Roo + Claude can find the code I want, make flow charts, etc.

    Similarly, I use it as a super search tool for my notes I take in Markdown.

    And lastly, meeting transcription + custom AI summary is very helpful as a starting point.

    All of these are similar in that they don't need to be 100% accurate. They're a starting point to save me time and find stuff I may have missed or forgotten. The actual decisions and brain work are done by me.

    As for actual code generation, I'm not fully sold yet. I use it situationally, but no PR review will be able to tell because I make sure anything it generates is exactly how I would have written it. That sounds weird, but what I mean is I either use it as "super auto complete" for small stuff or I have it build a draft and heavily edit it until it is good code that I understand completely.

  • Ars Technica makes up quotes from Matplotlib maintainer("An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me"); pulls story

    Jump

  • Honestly, this whole thing surprises me. I have a lot of respect for Ars Technica. I hope they clean this up and prevent further issues in the future.

  • Does self hosting your own internet count?

    Jump

  • I've been looking into this as well and just bought my first components.

    I'm trying Meshtastic first and then will try Meshcore.

    What does everybody think of Reticulum Network and RNode? It honestly seems superior conceptually to Meshtastic/Meshcore, but I'm not sure how good it is in practice or if anybody is actually using it.

  • Which FOSS projects do you financially support and why?

    Jump

  • KDE because I liked it when I used it and wanted it to get even better. And Lichess because it's what I wish all free services were like. I should do more.

  • Wrong turn after Tatooine

  • The Music of the Ainur is a pathway to many abilities which some deem to be… unnatural.

  • Corner Cutting Jig for Bookbinding

    Jump

  • Absolutely. When you're making a book cover, a pretty typical method is to take book board (chipboard-like material, similar to the back cover of notebooks) and glue it on book cloth or paper. Then you fold over edges of the cloth/paper. You don't need to cover the inside because that's where the actual pages of the book will be, but you need some overlap (e.g. 25mm).

    But the corner is a bit tricky. If you don't trim at all, you have an extra triangle of folded paper that gets in the way. If you cut it off too close to the book board, you will see the board peeking through. So you want to cut the corner off with a little gap. And if you get the angle wrong, the fold doesn't look quite right. This jig gives both spacing and angle, and it has an added bonus of the notches to let you mark your cuts for the fold over on each side.

    The first 30 seconds of this video illustrate it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4IzpDqbHqU

  • 3D design software for 3d printing?

    Jump

  • I really like Build123d. I hope someday the model sites like Printables and Makerworld support it like they do OpenSCAD.

  • Just finished my latest oak ship model, the big D is big!

  • Karl Urban is also great

  • jotty·page - Checklists & Notes made it easy

    Jump

  • Nice, I'll take a look. How is the mobile experience?

  • jotty·page - Checklists & Notes made it easy

    Jump

  • Yeah, no problem.

    This is my first attempt at posting a comment with pictures, but hopefully these show up:

  • jotty·page - Checklists & Notes made it easy

    Jump

  • Yes. When I tried it, it was not very stable and the shortcuts didn't really work on mobile. But I know a lot has changed, so I've been meaning to go back and give it another shot.

    Jump

  • Backlinking is when you link to a page, it links back.

    For example, if I have a daily journal, I can say Fixed a problem with my [[Raspberry Pi]] setup... and then a few weeks later I can say Found a new use for [[Raspberry Pi]]..., etc.

    Now when I go to the Raspberry Pi page, it shows me a list of times I've linked to the page and the context.

    I use this all the time with Logseq, but I find Logseq pretty unpolished, infrequently updated, etc., so I'm always on the lookout for something nicer.

  • I'm getting a Cloudflare error trying to access your demo site.

    Also, do you support back linking? That's a feature that's very important to me.

  • Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?

    Jump

  • I finally got around to setting up my internal services with TLS. It was surprisingly easy with a Caddy docker image supporting Cloudflare DNS challenge.

    I did this because various services I use are starting to require https.

    Now everything is on a custom domain, https, and I can access it through Tailscale as usual.

  • Do you have any songs that you love but can't listen to because they make you too sad?

  • Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10

  • Azure is not Entra. AAD became Entra. They did it because AAD was becoming less about Azure and covering more things than directories. So a rebranding made sense.

    It's a pretty dumb name, though. It doesn't really mean much when you hear it, and it sounds too similar to other common words.
