Yeah I love hardcover, I only wish it were a little easier to create & see the private notes I've written for a book. They're tucked away in the review page at the moment. Apart from that it's great, does everything I need with a nice interface.

Ayy Moonreader+, I use that one too. So responsive.

For downloading, I use Readarr or manually download from where I buy the books. A lot of the time the books I buy have DRM so I end up pirating them anyway 🤷. When readarr sends a book to calibre, it tells it to convert it so I've always got epub and mobi available.

For accessing my library, I use calibre-server, which I think comes bundled with the calibre desktop app. It's got a basic web interface for uploading, editing some metadata, and downloading; and an OPDS API which my e-reader can use to download books. If I'm outside my home network I use my VPN to access it because I don't trust calibre to be secure enough for internet exposure lol.

Don't recall why I chose this instead of calibre-web but it works fine for my purposes. I don't read comics though.

I got a bus + sleeper from the Gold Coast to Sydney last year, loved it. Bed was fine, was cool having my own little cabin. The shower was adequate, kinda cramped but the temperature was good. Breakfast was proper food, unlike someone else's description of the Syd-Mel. The electricity was a bit weak as I recall, just made my laptop drain a bit slower.

Going in the other direction during the day was absolutely lovely, a much nicer experience than flying. Got to see so much scenery and felt very relaxed...until the bus ride.

It was not much cheaper than flying and I only did it because I care about carbon emissions. Would be nice for the environment if they could bring the cost down - when NSW did free trips they included the XPTs and they were booked out, so people are obviously willing to use them if the price is low enough.

Or just carbon tax the fuck out of air travel 😈

Apparently the same guy that did the purple Liberal signs, Simon Frost, is the Yes23 campaign director. Explains why things are such a shambles; when was the last time anyone from the Coalition ran a positive campaign?

The support person even said they don't see any queries in the logs, you'd think that would be a clue to send the logs including queries.

(never played an AC game before) The lesson I took from the tutorial boss is that you should use the right weapon for the job, i.e. the build matters a lot. I wasn't getting anywhere with anything but the sword.

Yeah I bounced off it the first time, then I tried taking notes while reading it and enjoyed it much more.

Common sense would surely say that becoming a for-profit company or whatever they did would mean they've breached that law. I assume they figured out a way around it or I've misunderstood something though.

There are roleplay servers for modded RDR2 online (RedM) where you can actually do this. I just started playing on one with some mates and it's a player driven economy, so if people need wood they either have to chop it themselves or someone has to do it for them. I haven't tried it personally but you start with an axe and there seem to be areas where you can chop wood. I just like wandering about picking flowers and saying yeehaw to people.

Yep. Can't dodge it, encourages productive use. The only thing is it might push more properties towards airbnb unless you tax that more to make it less profitable.

tealdeer takes up 3.7MB on my system. It's a rust implementation of tldr - simplified man pages with practical examples. If I want to do some common thing with a program I don't use very often, chances are I can type (e.g.) tldr kill and it'll tell me what I need to know.

 

In this release, we're updating the engine from SDL to SDL2, and there are many optimizations to go along with it. Aside from the optimizations, SDL2 is also the stepping stone to ports. We have Linux compiling and playable; it just needs some testing.

Moreover, there is now a(n experimental) multithreading option in the game settings that makes the game even faster!

We also have some new individual tree graphics, and an update to grass ramps as well.

This has been mostly the hard work of Putnam! Meanwhile I've started up on adventure mode - the long work of updating menus and adding audio has begun! Hopefully we'll have some progress to show their soon, as we continue updating fortress mode as well.
