I personally use Calibre+Calibre-web.

It’s configured as a proxy for the Kobo store, the default store for my e-reader.

That means that when I click the sync button on my Kobo, it downloads anything hosted on my calibre-web server, while still keeping the ability to browse the Kobo store.

And then, inevitably:

For linux only, lan only shared drive NFS is probably the easiest you’ll get, it’s made for that usecase.

If you want more of a dropbox/onedrive/google drive experience, Syncthing is really cool too, but that’s a whole other architecture qhere you have an actual copy on all machines.

Been a while I didn’t watch one of his videos, but I remember some US military stuff on there and I thought it was an interesting view from someone I think is smart but clearly doesn’t share my political leanings.

Trying to not be in an echo chamber and all.

Important to note that I don’t live in the US.

Huh, nothing changed…

Weird, I guess.

If this is a real thing and not photoshopped, the fact that they feel the need to hide their faces is depressing.

I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I think the examples are a bit too far fetched:

I’d wager most people use a computer/phone on a daily basis, which is why having a basic understanding of it seems like knowledge we should all have.

Inversely, most people don’t need even have a turbo in their car and many don’t even have a car, so any knowledge relating to that is probably useless for them.

That being said, even if someone is less knowledgeable in a field, respect should always be the baseline, as you illustrate, they’re probably skilled in something else!

I’m saying that as an IT person that’s aware that I’m making money mostly because people don’t bother to learn all this, so in the end I don’t mind that much.

As others have mentionned downloading the .deb and running it will also work, but I feel nobody gave your a tldr of why you may want to follow those instructions instead, so here it is:

Those instructions configure your package manager (apt) with a new repository for this application.

The upside to that is that anytime you will look for updates, this app will also get updated.

It’s a bit more work up front, but it can pay off when you have dozens of app updating as part of normal system operations.

Imagine a world where windows updates would also update all your software, that’s what this is.

I was raised by my grandparents.

My grandfather was the cook most of the time, and he was always trying new recipies he found online: in years, I don’t think I ever saw him cook the same meal twice.

Everytime he’d taste something new, he’d enthusiastically comment “it’s different than usual!” (Rough translation from French “ça fait changment!”)

To this day, I have no idea how good or how bad he thought any of those dishes were.
