I know COBOL, its pretty easy to pick up honestly. Its just the 40+ years of context and the "WHY"s that they did what they did that is hard.

With how many people are looking for COBOL I really should just make a resume specific to it, put salary * 1.2 and see if any remote positions pop up. Love my job, but with the latest news…

Old Casio watch. Works well on the same battery.

I have an old iPod I use when I go for walks or work.

Ive used this in the past to host an email server. Eventually, my ISP actually stopped allowing people to use mail ports, so I had to discontinue. But it worked very well when I used it many years ago.

https://github.com/nodrm/DeDRM_tools is just the first one that pops up. Theres a LOT of software out there that does this. I would recommend getting a copy as GitHub has been going after “grey” repos for a bit once they are discovered (see switch emulation and the many fan games).

Most of the time, I personally just avoid by going to publishers that dont lock down books. They make things much easier than Amazon.

Nice having your own library is the way to go!

I heavily depends on where you get them. Most ebook publishers actually DONT put DRM on them. And other software can very easily remove the DRM if it is on the books.

Most systems can read the ebook format. Linux/Mac/Windows often comes with software. And if they dont, Calibre can work them.

https://github.com/Quill-OS/quill is a thing, although you have to get the exact model in order to make it work.

I really wanted https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book to be a thing, but its very hard to get the parts and assemble (in my opinion).

https://gitlab.com/guyjeangilles/piereader looks promising.

Honestly, the biggest hurtle does NOT appear to be the hardware, its getting the ebook in an open format. If Amazon removes the ability to download the files, then it really doesn’t matter what you run, you cant read your book.

Theres other publishers that give you all the file types like: https://www.baen.com/. I recommend finding and supporting those.

The -2 is real.

Sometimes creators make things that everyone hates. That feeling sucks.

Looks like it’s just in relation to the ui.

It’s git is here https://github.com/miniflux

PC master race I hope. Could be phrased better but yeah.

Fresno ca also is out at city hall. I’m not near so I can’t get a pic. Only link I was able to find is on local subreddit (with bots lol)

I wouldn’t mind paying a small amount to a dev who’s app pulls in ALL fedi feeds. Donation or otherwise.

…and there’s been another plane crash just a bit ago.

Nope just server

That would be cool. Closest I have is just a pinned link via Firefox.

I’ve had more luck finally throwing docker on it and letting it sit on an excising yunohost.

I have a couple of hundred RSS feeds. It has worked well past 15+ years.

The internet comes to me rather than the other way around.

Some RSS feeds that are fun:

https://questionablecontent.net/ - very long running comic.

https://hackaday.com/

https://www.kevinandkell.com/ - one of the most consistent oldest webcomic.

Royal road also has RSS feed support.

What I use: https://freshrss.org/ it’s kinda like Google reader back in the day.

Jeroba is nice

Like 95% of my games now just target SD. Its so easy to work. And it works with emulation, its very open.

Try lem my dot (world/ee/ect…) make it look strange but people will get it.
