Im on the fedi doin fedi things.
In theory one day its going to be too much for our current bandwidth. We are no where near that even with single user instances.
There are ways of making things much more efficient. Piefed for example bundles up votes so the API doesn’t get hit with millions of upvotes all separately. Peertube has P2P video sharing so the more people host/view videos, it actually gets faster. Theres a ton of others. But it sounds like a future issue.
Thats the idea! You just have to get them off the store and download them somehow.
It looks like its not working for me.
coo see you there!
Calibre is what I would take a look at. There is a web version that has a couple of different setups. for docker this looks interesting:
https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web
Ive also used yunohost (mostly for ease of use and backups) here: https://apps.yunohost.org/app/calibreweb
Its basically the same thing either way.
Im seeing a huge increase in people using stoat. And its been fun.
If anyone is interested in Retro Games: https://stt.gg/GJh5JHy2
am I right in understanding that I can host my library of ebooks on my home server then point a client at that server so I have access to my full library without having to save the books locally on device?
Some do this and some dont. I personally find ebooks to be so small that it doesnt matter, but some people use the server client to keep track of where they were at on certain books, helpwith their large collection, share with others of the family, etc…etc… And I think books with pictures such as manga, magazines, or other such take up more room so it might make sense if you have a lot of those.
I personally like having the system auto-update my device with new books and convert into nice to read formats for my custom devices. It works out really well.
I had no idea this was a thing. Interesting. I can see from liability why this is not something they dont want to touch, being a general purpose instance.
I think lemmy/fediverse needs a place where if you try and subscribe to something blocked, you get a post/page explaining why they did the thing. Its going to confuse new users otherwise.
calibre is pretty great. I also have a kobo and its the reason I can load/convert a lot of what I read.
Excellent!
Im already a member over there :) Looking for more chat based stuff I guess.
I mean you can …but its gonna be slop.
I remember some crazy stuff back when I had to work with a Java + ember.js project. Everything was like that.
Thats kind of you to say 😀
Cool, good to know someone else has the same experience.
Ive been on a couple of multi-year projects and they are NOT fun with OOP + developer went crazy with patterns they were experimenting at the time. Its what made the “rule” pop up to begin with.
Its the best/worst thing about OOP no matter what language.
We had a rule at work that if you are 3 levels or more down an inheritance tree, then you are too far. The cognitive load is just too much, plus everything stops making sense.
One level can be great (MVC all have great conventions, MCP as well). Two can be pushing it (Strategy pattern when you have physical devices and cant be connected all the time, Certain kinds of business logic that repeat hundreds of times, etc…) But even there you are kinda pushing it.
I need code that I can look at a month from now and know WTF is happening. And sometimes its better to have less DRY and more comprehension. Or maybe im just a forever mediocre dev and dont see the “light”. I dunno.
You can still find the shirts everywhere.
Im seeing the same on gotosocial. Im hoping the new articles will pop up at some point.
I usr it every day its great.
