KEPUB (whatever that is)

It’s an EPUB file that’s been optimized for a Kobo device.

And no, I don’t have Calibre running behind this anymore. I took the database Calibre (since I used it previously) had already created, loaded it with Calibre-Web, and it had enough capability that for me at least, I don’t need the desktop app anymore. I’m sure there’s any number of reasons why someone might, but for me, it works on its own.

What version of Calibre-Web are you using? Mine has support to upload an image for a cover. I’m just using the latest docker image from ghcr.io/linuxserver/calibre-web.

My current workflow is pretty basic, I took my Calibre library I already had, dropped it into Calibre-Web and moved to a fully web based setup (so I don’t use Calibre at all anymore, just Calibre-Web). I’ve got the Kobo integration working too so I can mark books to sync to my device through the browser and then just sync my Kobo wirelessly.

I tend to use the Kobo store to purchase new books so I’m a bit lax about grabbing local copies of everything, but whenever I do get new books I can upload them into Calibre-Web, edit the metadata after I match the book, and then I’m good to go. But I also don’t add books that often at the moment, so haven’t seen much point in investing much time into further automation.

Ticketmaster already powers other event listings across the Apple ecosystem, including Maps, Spotlight Search, Photos, and Shazam, so this is an expansion of the partnership.

Looks like they’ve been working with them for a while now - while Apple Music integration is new, they’re already doing this in other parts of the OS.

My go to choice for this is ocserv to run a Cisco AnyConnect server, and sniproxy to sit on port 443 and handle traffic routing. You configure sniproxy to go to a different server by hostname, and configure ocserv as the fallback option to access the VPN. Any host I expose via sniproxy provides its own HTTPS certificate via my Traefik server.

Wish it was global and not just US only. I know I can probably run a VPN and get it working but seems like a lot of effort when I have access elsewhere.

Or if Lando has car problems and has to take a new engine or something and ends up at the back of the grid.

So in Qatar, we need Max to win the race, Oscar to come second, Lando to come 9th, and then in the sprint, Oscar to win, Max in 8th and Lando behind Max. There’s other ways to do it as well of course but that sets up a three way tie going into Abu Dhabi.

Anecdotal obviously but our local GP clinic that used to fully bulk bill and had stopped has gone back to bulk billing again this month.

Calling / reaching out for help is the obvious one, but sadly being able to get their last words out to family is also a consideration.

It probably could if everyone did it the same way. But I suspect that isn’t what’s happening, so while our brains pattern recognition the message reasonably easily regardless of the substitution, doing that at scale with regex would be a lot more difficult.

The comment about convenience trumping almost everything else reminded me of this old post (wasn’t originally on The Urban Dictionary but they have it now under the definition of Linux).

If Operating Systems Ran The Airlines

When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, “You had to do what with the seat?”

Probably seems random but I was really hoping to see an expansion of the glamour dresser functionality they added where sets could be grouped together to include the Alliance Raid gear. Dungeon gear can be grinded out solo for most older stuff and with duty support if it can’t, but Alliance Raids need at an absolute minimum 3 people - more depending on the raid (LotA needs 12 minimum because of the Atomos, Orbonne I don’t think can be cleared with 3 because of Agrias even if the previous two raids can be, and I’ve not seen a 3 man NieR raid yet, and definitely not Myths of the Realm or Jeuno).

So you would tend to hold onto AR gear over dungeon gear purely because it’s harder to replace. Being able to group sets of 5 pieces into one glamour slot would be perfect. Especially with a whole bunch of new glam dropping this patch!

It’s mainly to do with the neighbourhood concept they use. They keep all the housing loaded up because they’re legitimate zones you can enter, log in or out from, teleport into, etc. Because a lot of those things exist regardless of the housing owner playing or not it’s not really feasible to archive it because other players also see it and access it.

There’s some variance there (for example on Materia they haven’t opened wards 25-30 yet), not all plots are sold, and FC housing isn’t quite as stringent since as long as at least one person in the FC enters the house they keep it, but still crazy numbers regardless. You can see why they’re disincentivised to fix it.

The ironic part of this is if they spent the money to upgrade the infrastructure so anyone who wanted a house (of any size) could have one, and therefore didn’t need the auto demolition any more, more people would pause their subscriptions when they’re not actively doing anything, which drops SE’s revenue.

So I get why fixing housing isn’t a big priority, it would impact their bottom line twice.

On the other hand, still sucks. Especially with many countries struggling with cost of living and some dealing with active war zones (to be fair, some of these pauses on auto demolition are for that reason), it just feels like it’s rubbing salt into the wound, especially when you might not be able to replace it in the future depending on your server.

Love your optimism 😊

Now I wish we could have two earrings at once so I can have a donut on one ear and a cup of coffee on the other for my culinarian glam 😂

Now we just need Ferrari to do a partnership with Nintendo and we can literally have Mario vs Sonic on the F1 track.

It’s not mandatory but when you’ve got points on the line they probably didn’t want to be seen to be making decisions that could cost midfield teams a chance at points, even if that meant an extra lap or two behind the safety car.

Agree on the GDPA role, but they did explicitly ask him about it during the interview so figured it was at least worth mentioning.

Best theory I have is all the teams are expecting some sort of sanction over the incident and they all want to be able to be arms length and say “that was the FIA’s decision” and not have sound bites where they were suggesting that something should happen.
