Honestly I’ve really enjoyed Zorin. It’s made life simple when it comes to migrating friends and family to Linux. Specifically the way they handle fonts and scaling in office programs when opening Microsoft files. It’s been easy to get my wife to get off of windows after they started bombarding her with adds on her fuckin desktop screen.

Microsoft is hardly one to be involved in this. They're just as bad in different ways. But. As far as search goes, I think it's incredibly simple to change search engines but the problem is Google doesn't give users that choice up front when installing chrome but even if they did most people don't give a shit and will just use Google anyway.

I use Amazon kindle to have my books synced across everything but I only use a burner Amazon and make sure I have my epubs backed up on a calibre server just in case they kill that account. Never buy digital shit from Amazon especially. They always pull this kind of thing.

Thanks for the info. I've got. Sonarr radarr and prowlarr set up with qbitt right now and jellyfin. I'll have to do some digging this weekend.

Is there any links/guides on how to get into the usenet side of things? I've been using torrents forever but people keep saying usenet is safer.

How many drugs have you taken today?

I was maybe 10 hours of work into a small side project and I just said fuck it and started over in Godot. No reason to use Unity unless you are a studio that’s deep into development or supporting a game that’s already out.

Automated book grabbing is very hard imo. I’ve tried readarr and a bunch of other things. I settled on just manually downloading what I want and sending to kindle. There isn’t going to be a good automated setup until indexers get better for ebooks or readarr somehow adds support for irc downloads.

I really like Alexandria on desktop and there’s android support on the roadmap on GitHub.

I keep going back and forth between Chrome and Firefox. Maybe it’s because of the couple years I spent working with the Chromebook team, but I always go back to Chrome like a drug. I know it’s bad for privacy and the add stuff is certainly not cool but I just can’t get pulled away from it. Its all about what you’re used to.

Second stremio. I use the torrentio addon without rd but always with vpns. It’s a backup for me for when my main nas goes down so I don’t want to pay for rd.

Artemis doesn’t let you sign in with different instances but as soon as it does I’ll start using it more.

As medicine advances, most diseases or conditions will be diagnosed more often. With the extreme increase in technology in the past 50+ years I wouldn’t say that cancer is being over diagnosed just because we can find it better. While mental health science is arguably far behind traditional medicine, I wouldn’t say that ADHD as a whole is over diagnosed. Is it probable that there are some bad doctors that will simply hand wave kids away with an ADHD diagnosis? Sure but those cases are far less common than you might think. As someone with ADHD I have seen the sentiment that it is over diagnosed arise in my life as people claiming that what I suffer from isn’t real and I need to pay attention better, or that I’m just “abusing the Adderall to get ahead in life.” So no I don’t think it is over diagnosed and people around the world need to have a better understanding of how mental illness truly affects the people that suffer.

I’m not the guy you asked but I do the same thing. In the tailscale dashboard you can set up a default DNS for every device that is connected to your tailnet. They support nextdns and a couple other things. I have mine pointed to my personal adgaurd home server that is within my tailnet and it works great. I used nextdns for a while but didn’t want to pay for it. It also worked great with tailscale.

OpenBooks by Evan buss on GitHub. It’s an irc based downloader and I have been able to find even the most obscure stuff with it. At least so far.

This looks really promising for me. Is there any chance of opds support? I couldn’t find anything on the GitHub page.

I’ve noticed that the compact mode doesn’t show ads.

Last commit looks like 4 months ago. Is this being actively worked on?

Working fine for me. Do you have an older version installed or a fork?

I don’t, no. I’m on the android train but my mother in law is all apple. She adds books from her phone then they are there to read on her iPad when she goes to bed.
