Unrelated but I’m very impressed with how well this posted to Lemmy from Mastodon. Exceptional

I have a racknerd KVM VPS running a socks5 proxy and a mastodon instance. It’s been great!

A) Never feel bad about asking for a bigger cut of the money they make off of your labor

B) lmfao how are you making so much more than me. I’m a senior engineer at an IT company haha

I used this: https://redact.dev/

I checked earlier today and, at a cursory doomscroll, everything appears to remain deleted so far

It surprises me too on some level because it does seem very obvious.

I’ve also learned on multiple occasions over the years that I value different things and I value them much more strongly than a large swath of the selfhosting community. That may speak to whether or not people selfhost for ideological, practical, or other reasons that I am unaware of but, at the end of the day, I find myself disappointed that the version of the selfhosting community that I imagined and thought I was on the same page with is simply not the selfhosting community that exists.

Lol I used a script to overwrite my 13 years of fairly active redditing with a join-lemmy.org link

Not that I’m aware of. I set it up very very early in my self-hosting journey and have just continued using it ever since

There are literally multiple of us! We cannot be stopped!

I clicked on some of the tags and got to binary downloads but yeah, I’ve never dealt with releases or compiled binaries via git myself so I have no idea how to make that better at this point

Good call. I’ll try and do that but I am easily distracted so may end up disappointing you

Edit: Should be good now

I do what I can when I can

I cloned the repo into my gittea https://git.toad.city/brad/DeGourou

I went ahead and just cloned it to my personal Gittea and made it public

And it had the added benefit of making it look like my cat just polished off an entire pie all by himself when he’s done eating.

This is the real life pro tip

If what you need to accomplish can be achieved via shell commands, it would be hard to beat OliveTin for this use case.

I solved that for myself by making genre folders and just tossing books in them haphazardly as I download them.

I gave Calibre a brief shot and was immediately put off by how big and clunky it was. I’m sure it would have been perfect if I gave it more of a shot and spent time tweaking.

Kavita has been my solution for the last probably 7 months and I’m loving it. I don’t need anything outside of “put book in place” and then “Open Kavita, see book” and it has been perfect for that. It’s essentially plex but with books in terms of how using and maintaining it has been.

One of the biggest rules I adhere to that has changed my life is “Nothing is supposed to be anything”

“Youtube considering incentivizing piracy”
