Now that is interesting, I have a kindle oasis and mix between reading on that (which is glorious I must be honest) and on my iPhone. If I can download a “legacy” file format - I might try that. Thanks again for your input!

Hey, thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. I’ve used deDRM a lot in the past, but it doesn’t work with the latest DRM on (I think AWZ3 files) - but perhaps it’s been updated since I last checked about 6 months ago or so.

I REALLY don’t agree with giving Amazon money (ethically) but I am a hypocrite and end up buying a lot of ebooks and audiobooks from them, I do my best to back up the files using calibre but I‘m sure they could lock down devices / file

I suspect there is something wrong with the font then, perhaps have a look at the console (app) to see if there are any logs related to the warning and log a bug with the fonts creator? For reference IBM Plex (Mono) fonts that I’ve been usi

Bit of a surprising comment - Xen is very widely used - even all of AWS is Xen (I believe), are you perhaps thinking of XenServer (Citrix's OS / Distro based on Xen)? If you do mean XenServer, well - yes some large places are stil

Yeah fair enough too - it isn’t tech related, while political I feel it’s more social but certainly not technical.

Oh, strange - I wonder why? (mods feel free to message me so I can improve future posts if required), I don’t generally have a bad rep on HN and it was an uneditoritialised title etc... anyway - what matters is that people are aware of the

I too think it’s an awesome project, I wasn’t going to comment because I didn’t have anything to add so I thought I’d say how neat it was in this thread ;)

I've been using this for the last 3~ months or so on my OpenWRT 18.06.1, r7258-5eb055306f (but with the latest packages) setup on my Linksys WRT3200ACM and it's been so useful and saved me a lot of time (hence sharing).

It's a real shame warranty canaries are illegal in Australia, it has on several occasions made me feel less confident about software, services or people involved in them here. src (there are many but...): https://www.schneie

I can’t recommend ‘“Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!”: Adventures of a Curious Character’ highly enough, a truly brilliant read (or listen) and many years later I find myself thinking back to it frequently.

I’m sure Bron, Rob or Nigel will weigh in shortly. Fastmail is a damn fine service, I now trust Australian internet privacy even less due to recent law changes and this does concern me not just with Fastmail but as someone that designs and

A real shame, so much nicer that firewalld on the command line / files, I believe firewalld has some usable GUIs now for people that are running it on the desktop though and of course BPF should make things better / easier.

Ah I’ve had really good experiences with SeeedStudio too, ordered plenty of things over the years - dangerous site for me to visit when I have money ;,)

Great to see Dolby Vision in the features there - I've been very impressed with it vs HDR10.

Probably the two that I find myself thinking back to most often are Stranger in a Strange Land (Robert A. Heinlein), The Phoenix Project (Gene Kim), The Great Shark Hunt (Hunter S Thompson), Several Bukowski short stories and most recently

I’ve never been asked or needed to. If I did I guess I’d create a minimal google account with as little info as possible, ensure it’s security / privacy settings were set as restrictive as possible and then have to settle for using a F

Personally I switched to a mix of LibreOffice and Pages/Keynote and have been very happy with them. Google docs offers some awesome feature but I don’t think the privacy and ethics of using Google products justified its use and as of M
