The setup is

install Tailscale on your Kobo

install Koreader

Install Tailscale on the machine that host your eBook collection app of choice

Add the OPDS URL from the collection app, replacing the local machine URL with the Tailscale URL

You can now browse and download your private collection from anywhere.

I went with Kavita since I wanted my eBooks treated as equals with my manga.

This is what I'm currently doing sans tailscale. I'm running Ubooquity on a server in my homelab as my OPDS service to serve the ebooks hosted on a mounted NAS. I can download any of those books from my Kobo with a few presses on Koreader. It's pretty great. My Kobo Forma is probably one of my best and most used tech purchases. I've had it since 2019 and couldn't be happier with the device + setup. Getting it set up with tailscale so I can fetch ebooks when I'm away from home sounds like a pretty good upgrade.

Nice Font! (Berkeley Mono)

It's very nice and worth the $75 IMO. The new font builder they have gives you a lot of options to tweak/customize the typeface, which is also very nice.

As long as it does a better job than whatever Windows team packs into the OS, they're safe.

Even on latest Windows 11 takes minutes to do what 7-Zip does in seconds.

Goes to show how good all those leetcode interviews turn out.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. WinZip is a slow and bloated abomination, especially compared to 7-Zip. The right-click menu context entry for 7-Zip is very convenient and runs lightning fast. WinZip can't compete at all.

Very interesting that this is on the front page. I’m totally out of the loop here and the title and even descriptions seem like some arcane spellbook in a mystical language.

There must be some niche of Hacker News I’ve fallen totally out of touch with.

conkeisterdoor · 8 months ago
I think the title is just the name of the newest release of 9front (an active fork of plan9), similar to how Bookworm is the name for Debian release 12.

Yeah, please don't create sites like this. Just... don't.

Any, and I mean any "in case of a Git problem, just do this" recipe is wrong, often in very subtle ways. So, my advice: in case of a Git problem, contact the help channel provided by the organization hosting your Git repository. They'll help you out! And if it's your personal-I-am-truly-the-only-human-using-this repository? Just recreate it, and save yourself the pain.

Source: I'm part of the team behind the #githelp channel in many $DAYJOBs, and we know how hard things are. You committed an unencrypted password file, or worse, your entire 'secret' MP4 collection to our monorepo? Sure, just let us know! Pushed your experimental branch to master/main/head/whatever? We'll fix it!

Just don't ever, for whatever reason, run that-chain-of-commands you found on the Internet, without understanding what they do! In most cases, your initial mistake can be undone pretty quickly (despite requiring nonstandard tooling), but once you're three levels deep and four days later, not so much...

Oh no, that poor soul...

I had 2.5mg of thc every day for ~7 years. I couldn't remember the last dream I had when I quit thc in August. After not sleeping for 2-3 weeks I started having vivid nightmares every night for about a week. I'm still having extremely vivid dreams since, but they're no longer all terrifying. Sleeping better than ever and my anxiety is also better than ever.
conkeisterdoor · a year ago
I just read your comment after posting mine and it sounds like you've had a similar (but unfortunately opposite!) experience. The vivid dreams stop for me a few weeks after they start. Are your vivid dreams "permanent", or has it only been a short while since you started experiencing them?

You have to quit THC for at least two weeks until you start dreaming again.
conkeisterdoor · a year ago
Indeed, and IME, the dreams I have after taking a break from daily THC use are extremely vivid - to the point that I can remember them in detail for days afterwards. I enjoy that a lot.

usr stands for user system resources
conkeisterdoor · a year ago
TIL after so many years that /usr isn't an abbreviation of "user". "UNIX/user system resources" makes a lot more sense in retrospect. Guess I should have RTFM a long time ago!
