I’ve been looking for something for my RPG pdf collection and haven’t really found anything that scratches every need I have for it yet. I’ve gone through most of what’s out there and didn’t really see many great options. I mostly want to organize/categorize my collection of ttrpg e-books (reading I can do through dropbox as I don’t really jump from one item to another often enough to justify syncing my entire 100k+ collection), so I just settled on Zotero. It’s mainly meant for journals and scholarly works, but it seems like it fits part of my use-case and it’s tagging features are decent enough. Syncing PDFs is an option, but I’d have to get into the paid tier to have my whole collection accounted for.
Jellyfin I guess does have support for ebooks through a plug-in, but it isn’t terribly great IMO and you’ll still need something else like Tailscale I believe to actually be able to view stuff outside of your home wifi network. There’s some other options out there I believe, though they all seemed to be geared towards Manga collections, so if you’re looking to organize through this system, those may not work as well either (and you still may need Tailscale regardless).
18·5 months agoYears ago I was dual-booting with Ubuntu just to try out whatever this Linux thing was that all the nerds were talking about. Liked it and played around with it, but for whatever reason I wanted to go back to just Windows, I needed the space I had partitioned off or something, can’t remember why. So I just uninstalled or deleted the bootloader somehow (maybe I just deleted the Linux partition and expected the space to clear up like normal).
Go to restart the computer… oh shit. Ohshotohshitohshitohshit.
3·6 months agoI’m probably the biggest simpleton in this thread, but I was just looking at this earlier and TiddlyWiki still seems like the easiest of the easiest. It’s literally just an html file that requires pretty minimal setup to get going. Nothing else seems to even come close. I’ve been using it for a couple of years as a sort of internal departmental job aid, just basic information for our group and it’s pretty straight-forward.
Sounds interesting, got a “Too many requests, please try again later.” error though, so apparently it got some kind of hug of death.
Something else came in a box:
I use Edge in the workplace, because our company moved all our stuff into their ecosystem, so everything is already cloud-based going through all Microsoft’s stuff anyways. In theory, using Edge should limit my problems, since I’d assume it works with all their other software and it gives me one more thing I can tell IT, “Yeah, I’m using Edge with Office365, get off my nuts.” Mixed results, but seems ok. It helps keep my business life separate from my personal life.
Outside of that, I use Firefox at home and I don’t know that it’s such a terribly different experience. I just go back and forth without really noticing too much, Safari might be the biggest departure, but I avoid that as much as I can.
Oh, another twitter story, ok, this is getting a little old… oh
Is there a version of this up on tiktok? Who got time to read all that?
“Yo babe, got a pneumatic piston at home, what about we try hooking it up to your cylinder?”
I feel like even trying to deposit money my bank (local credit union) has become even more invasive. I had a few insurance checks I needed to bring in that they would ask probing questions about, one almost denied me being able to deposit it. I thought that’s what the whole dumb 5-day hold was about, I don’t need some random teller getting in my business. Just take the check, verify it’s getting paid on your end, and don’t question me like I have to justify why I’m getting a check in the first place.
I’ve banked with them for 20 years now and I’ve never seen this kind of behavior before, so I don’t know if it’s always been like that and I just never saw that side or if the banking industry itself is getting more strict with things.
