You can’t even buy working batteries for a most of the old phones I have in my drawer.

The idea is nice, but such a government program would either end up just shipping tons of broken electronics to third world countries, or spending more money testing old electronics compared to what it would cost to buy new cheap feature phones for people in those third world countries.

Learn how to use Docker. That’s gonna be a big help.

It’s a whole ordeal to get set up. There’s some plugins for Calibre, I believe one is called NoDRM and os is called De-DRM. Can’t remember which one I’m using or what the differences are.

From Google Play Books you can download the encrypted books (from the website on PC). You are supposed to use Adobe Digital Editions with your Google login to be able to read the encrypted/DRM-protected books on your PC. When you’ve set up Adobe Digital Editions, you can find a key file somewhere (can’t remember the location, you should be able to Google that) which you can use together with one of the plugins in Calibre. And that should normally be it.

That didn’t work for me though. So I found some other third party DRM removal tool, in which I logged in with my Google/Adobe Digital Editions account. It could then decrypt the books, but more importantly, it also made a key file somewhere, which i WAS able to use in Calibre. So now, with that key file, I can just drag the encrypted books directly into Calibre, and it decrypts them just fine.

It’s been several years, so I’ve probably forgotten or misremembered some details.

EDIT: By the way, there seems to be a time limit on decrypting the downloaded books, so download them from Google and decrypt them withing relatively short time (a few hours maybe, not sure). Don’t think you can just decrypt them whenever in the future.

Google Play Books, since I like their app a lot and don’t have to think about syncing across several device.

What problems are you having with it?

I buy my ebooks legally, but I also de-DRM them and keep them in Calibre. I guess that’s the least illegal way to pirate them.

Wasn’t DeepSeek v3 trained with single-digit million dollars budget?

“I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago.”

Didn’t Mac use just CR line endings at some point?

I don’t think it indexes the text content, but you could certainly set something up with an external application that indexes the archived pages and lets you search them. Did a quick search, and in one GitHub issue someone is talking about setting up Sonic Search for that purpose: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/956#issuecomment-1320587158

EDIT: It seems Sonic is actually a search system developed specifically for ArchiveBox full text search. I’m gonna try it out too.

EDIT: Works great

I don’t bookmark, but I do have ArchiveBox set up to automatically archive almost every page I visit.

I selfhost Tiny Tiny RSS

It does not work on my OnePlus 7 at all. If I zoom it crashes, and I have to clear the app data to get it to work again. And if I just take a normal photo it just crashes while processing.

There’s not even a pinky swear. It’s not transactional in any way. It’s just a header you decide to send with every request. It’s the same as someone posting “I do not consent to Facebook harvesting data from my profile!” on their Facebook profile.

They fought well, but it was a case they couldn’t possibly win.

I drew a bird. I remember spending so many hours playing with Microsoft Paint as a kid. And I’m still not good at drawing 😅

Also the && operator in sh. I think you can figure out what happened.

I’m guessing something like… Copy file/dir from location A to location B and then delete from A, but the copy had failed (and the delete unfortunately worked fine)?

What am I even doing with my life… brb, gotta get me an octopus vase…

I’ve started a few warriors, but it’s not helping because they’ve activated rate limiting. I just get:

Tracker rate limiting is active. We don’t want to overload the site we’re archiving, so we’ve limited the number of downloads per minute. Retrying after 240 seconds…

So the bottleneck is that they don’t want to overload Veoh.

Doesn’t that just cut one line at a time?

Move the cursor to the start of what you want to cut, press ALT+A, then move the cursor with arrow keys (you’ll see text be highlighted from where the cursor was to where you move your cursor), then once you’ve moved the cursor to where you want, press CTRL+K to cut.
