It seems to be implying that SoCs will soon become so fast and efficient that they will always outperform custom builds in every category including price.

There’s an argument to be made there (not saying I agree).

Komga maybe? It’s made for comics/manga but they can be grouped.

Booklore was discovered to be vibe-coded and riddled with security issues. The dev shut down the project when discovered. Best avoided for now.

KOReader is not “fake epaper”, it’s an app designed to be used on ereaders which means it’s UI is high contrast. FWIW I agree it’s not ideal for an OLED phone screen, but it’s definitely not fake epaper (more like the opposite) and makes me think you might be accidentally using something else?

(Also KOReader is not for “certain” devices, it’s FOSS and installs on basically any ereader, including Kindle, Kobo and anything running android like Boox).

What CWA does is it integrates a KOreader sync server (can also be ran independently). In future updates CWA’s web reader will sync with this progress, but for now it only shows up in the UI like this:

THAT ALL SAID, if you are only using the WebUI and don’t want to wait for CWA to update their web reader, Komga is a simple app (originally designed for Manga but will work fine with books) that has a web reader that will also remember your progress (and fwiw there is a KOReader plugin in case you want to sync that progress with an epaper device in the future).

It was the UI he didn’t like so it’s not going to be much different.

Yunohost seems the community pick these days. I also played around with CasaOS and found it very user friendly. Though development on that one seems to have stalled.

It’s also a pretty big exaggeration of what actually happened which is that it generated and posted some technically inaccurate information.

This is cool, so I could theoretically just set up a Plex/Jellyfin library and not need a youtube account?

Yeah this was my thought ever since I heard that they saw LLM “search” as the future. “Search” inasmuch as it still exists on Google is already pay-to-play, this is just changing who gets paid.

They seem to be working on uh, syncing all the sync features. There have been some updates recently.

My understanding is that it wasn’t so much his “choice in tools” it was privacy concerns surrounding that choice.

I think CWA is the one to watch. It’s progress has been slower but steady.

Crazy. It had a meteoric rise.

I guess CWA is the one to use now. In a way I’m glad the space will have only a single major player.

What you’re looking for is called an “Alternative frontend”. I’m not aware of a working one for Facebook but it might be worth searching around!

Damn 99% of the time someone says not to use an open source product it’s because of some obscure drama unrelated to the actual program.

But in this case the dev appears to not just be using AI code (not great but debatable) but using mostly AI code and using AI to reply to bug reports. Not something the average person wants to be running in a live environment.

I haven’t used Booklore but the excitement around it was nudging me there. I think I’ll stick with CWAs slower rollout.

Labubus are basically gambling for kids. I’m not sure they’re sending the message they want to be, here.

I’ve never woken up the next morning regretting greasy food

+1 for Bookstack. Very simple and easy to learn.

Oh I see thank you for the explanation. I missed that the university network was called a VPN.

I’m pretty sure “Block” is derived from “Blockchain”
