I might give it a try then, Calibre library support builtin is a dealbreaker for me and it wasn’t obvious in the description.

Thanks.

Yah, an untested raid is like an untested backup: suspect.

You seem pretty organized in your strategy, I would suggest you just pull a drive in your LVM to check how that goes for you. I’ve had issues in JBOD style LVM volumes with drive swaps, but YMMV.

Frankly, I use ZFS now in anything that I would have use LVM in before. The feature set is way more robust. Also, an offsite ZFS replication to zfs.rent is a good backup of a backup. But Backblaze is pretty solid too.

Keep everything on Nextcloud and back that up via Proxmox Backup Server.

Nuke and pave takes me less time to reconfigure Plasma and install NC client than bothering to back anything up directly.

Librera (ebook reader)

Does it do OPDS for Calibre integration? I don’t see that in the features.

Light rAIl transit.

I watched the recent test of catching the returning second stage booster in the chopsticks, and had a lump in my throat. Absolutely fucking amazing, nobody is in the same league as that crew.

Distrobox

Man, I wish there were a single DNS system that everyone used. Every time I try to figure out how a distro is handling DNS, it ends up being some weird backend to puzzle out. Yet for some reason there’s always a resolv.conf that may or may not be getting ignored so I go about twisting dials that often aren’t connected to anything.

I don’t care if it ends up being a systemd module, just standardize and document it, ffs.

I’ve been dogfooding Searxng for a week or so now and I’m sold on it over DDG and certainly over Google. Besides good results out of the box and being selfhosted so I have some search privacy (sorta), you can tune it to get better results for your particular situation.

Setup was a quick docker compose and env file, and then add it to FF with a rightclick on the URL bar to set it up in my search engines.

In NA, steel is standard. I’ve never seen a copper hotwater tank in Canada. I think that used to be somewhat common in Europe, but copper is freakin’ expensive now so that’s gone by the wayside, as well.

TIL

Teksavvy lets me do precisely whatever the fuck I want, and doesn’t make a peep. They collect their $80 and fuck right off until I need them.

Telus, on the other hand, can go fuck themselves with a rusty spoon. They sent me a letter and I switched ISPs within 24 hours.

There are one or two countries outside the US that can approve drugs for use.

SearxNG selfhosted.

IndieGoGo

Where’s the option where they send me their home address so i can mail them a baggie of my chili lunch liquishit?

90% of the projects are scams and have been for years.

Fuck Kickstarter.
