True, that could be spiced up a lot. But I didn't think you intended it for mainstream users in your comment. For the HN crowd it should be enough. A mainstream user will not be messing around with OPDS servers anyway. And recommendati

Ah nice we don't have anything like that here. But I don't think I will go back from what I'm doing now. It took a lot to get me to leave Amazon, but the DRM thing and also lately the larger amount of books "not availabl

It can make stuff up in the dark based on incomplete input, that's a more correct way of saying it.

For low-volume stuff you can always get a non-expiring 4G/5G bundle eSIM and tunnel through that. Because 4G/5G roaming always tunnels traffic through the home country, and then emerges from CGNAT so it can't be identified as

Yeah you're doing a lot better job on the privacy side than signal is IMO. Especially just being able to run my own service will be priceless when something like chatcontrol eventually makes it through. Signal can only comply or leave,

It depends what you do it from. If you do it from an android device you don't have to. If you do it from the web you do.

I get lots of spam on WhatsApp which also requires a number. And some on signal too for that matter. Signal is just much smaller in terms of users so the potential value is lower.

Huh cool, we don't have any such large online libraries in Europe. Some countries or regions have some small online repos but it's a real PITA to get working as they all use Adobe drm. I used to buy on kindle but since they made i

Not anymore! They've recently moved to closing their devices with signed firmware

Yes because they use signed firmware, it was in another article here recently

Yes and Kavita just introduced support for it in epubs. It already had it for comics but that's because their pages are more static, a much easier problem to solve.

by wkat4242 10mo ago
You can do that with koreader. It can even sync progress now with kavita. Stimulating what Amazon called whisper sync.

The same business the US has in Guam or Puerto Rico, the UK in the Bahamas etc. It was a colony. They decided to become independent but still part of the kingdom of the Netherlands which was their choice. So the current status is such becau

by wkat4242 10mo ago
It's not part of the country the Netherlands anymore. They voted to leave. They're still in the kingdom which means they're not completely on their own but nation is a good word.

Oops yes :) That's what I meant of course. But my point was, even the fuel tubes themselves will have more than adequate shielding against the alpha particles emitted. So it's not even that dangerous that the Sherpas were using th

They probably work but I'm sure they're a mess of coding standards, interface guidelines and required coding practices. That's the thing about plugins, you need to work with the rest of the ecosystem. I don't blame the m

Totally agree. I do the same. The only reason we have analog clocks is because digital ones were much harder to build. That time is of course over for good. It was a compromise imposed by limited technology.

by wkat4242 10mo ago
That was my problem too. Not in the US but in Europe. The stuff we had to read was all by 'highly acclaimed: authors who have carved out this niche of 'literature art ' between them. However their books were dusty, tough, whi

Also the matter has been discussed here in detail when it broke the news a couple months ago so yeah focusing more on the technical merit is much more interesting IMO

Too bad this is audio. I have no patience for that (ADHD). There's no writeup anywhere is there? I don't see it.

Alpha radiation has very little in the way of penetration. I can be basically shielded by tin foil. As the Pu238 decays it will transform into other materials that will probably emit beta and gamma radiation which could be detected. And als

As a user that distinction is meaningless. I don't care what they use as a backend, and I shouldn't have to. If their source provider censors search results it means their own search results are censored too.

I think everyone who regularly writes eg both Spanish and English, or Chinese and English etc will be affected. That's a LOT of people. Not all languages rely heavily on accents or special symbols but those do. (For example in Spanish

You can also use a self hosted searxng as front-end. It's got many options for things like Wikipedia and it is being properly maintained. It's also really nice and 'quiet'. No ads or AI shoved in your face.
