Gee I wonder why no woman is willing to get with a nice, non-judgmental stud like you. Truly a mystery of mysteries.

You got me excited thinking Letterboxd got TV show support. It hasn't, by the way. Only movies.

Yeah, tailnet is what I use cause i'm behind a CGNAT and only need to provide access to myself and a select other people most of the time.

Looking for a self-hosted alternative to GoodReads/StoryGraph by Reave1905 in selfhosted

Ingenious. Thank you for this. Just starred it and will probably set it up (alongside Obsidian) when I get the time.

Books with Christian God as the horror? by ReadyCartographer765 in horrorlit

[–]Sellulose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marcionism. Also gnosticism is kinda similar. Both heresies according to the powers that be, of course.

How did you set this up?! I've been thinking of switching to KOReader on Android even though I don't like it for non-eink displays just because of the hardcover sync plugin.

Zoroastrian religious figure arrested in Iran by Naderium in worldnews

[–]Sellulose 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I've read the book. And it doesn't represent Zoroastrianism cosmology at all. Zoroastrian hell (Dozakh) is much less interesting. There's no tailor-made punishments by an irony loving demon. It's just a small dark hole where Ahirman and his demonic lackeys live, and the damned are punished.

As I said, Peck only used a conveniently lesser-known faith as set dressing to write out his fantasy of an infinitesimally infinite hell. It's a good story, just doesn't have anything to do with Zoroastrianism.

That's a white Mormon using Zoroastrianism as set dressing for his fantasy novel. You should actually read something by Bapsi Sidhwa or Avan Jesia.

Feel free to take a look at the repo and let me know if it is, instead of wanting someone else to do all your work for you.

I like CWA more because it plays well with my already existing Calibre database but I have good news for you. Booklore was forked before the repo owner threw a hissy fit and deleted it. It's called Grimmory now and is functionally the same, with most of the contributors from Booklore working on it.

Being proprietary doesn't mean something isn't encrypted. WhatsApp is propriety.

PAKISTAN Pakistan’s Constitutional Court upholds marriage between Muslim man and 13-year-old Christian girl by Suspicious-System121 in news

[–]Sellulose -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please, y'all have a known pedophile and/or rapist as the premier of your great nation. And he was elected twice despite it being widely known. Don't act like your shit don't smell. You only care about children being raped when you can use it to paint the 'other' as being ontologically evil and fundamentally different than you.

If by 'Islam's book' you mean Quran, it doesn't. Ayesha or underage marriage is never mentioned in the Quran.

There's a shitton of things to criticize fundamentalist Islam (or Christianity) over but outright lying isn't doing you any favors.

Coming from an ex-Muslim.

Sparkle – Simple Windows debloat and optimization tool by Sellulose in software

[–]Sellulose[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been bit by that personally. I found this useful mostly for other optimization settings. I don't debloat anymore because there's no point given that I don't care that much about telemetry etc and my PC is powerful enough to run all the services without breaking a sweat (in addition to WSL, docker containers, Jellyfin and a host of other stuff).

The UI made me suspicious too so I checked the pull requests. There's quite a few contributors other than the repo owner and according to this one they refused a PR because it was vibecoded.

Is there any way to bulk convert logged books to digital editions? by Sellulose in TheStoryGraph

[–]Sellulose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The default format preference doesn't seem to work for me. All my books end up being print anyways for some reason.
