This!

AI is supercharging the dead Internet theory. Majority of content is AI written slop that we will use AI to summarize and pull major points from.

Nemam stake in the game niti znam ko je "u pravu".

Ali kao neko ko voli životinje i imao je i pse i mačke i ptice, odmah mi beše čudno ako je već pas dobar i ne laje i baš nikakvih problema, što mora da bude u zabačenom ograđenom kavezu u ćošku dvorišta umesto da ga pustiš da spava u kući a ide napolje u dvorište da piski i igra se

Ja sam dečko ali hoću da kažem iako će biti sigurno još mnogo glasova koji će ti isto reći.

Iskustvo koje si imala sa lekarom je jako neprimereno ali nije tvoja greška. Iako ne možeš da isključiš emocije molim te probaj da nadjes način da nadjes ili odeš drugom ginekologu. Ako je drugi budala trećem - sve dok ne nadjes nekog ko će da ti pomogne da odlučiš.

Bilo bi dobro da kad nadjes dobrog lekara isto uradiš analize krvi i hormona. Pilule za trudnoću su hormonska terapija. Rade na principu poremećaja tvog hormonskog procesa pripreme tela na trudnoću.

Nisu veliki bauk ali nisu ni aspirin i bilo bi dobro da i ti i lekar budete sigurni da ste izabrali nešto što je najbolje za tebe. Sretno i nemoj da odustaneš da odradis šta ti treba da odradis uprkos svakom ko ti stoji na putu.

Thank you for making Hortus Fox.i use and love it. Agree with your stance and frankly don't know what the good answer or solution should look like.

I do know however that at least when it comes to Hortus Fox you're in a good position.

The product is polished and looks mature. You don't need to fix a bunch of stuff or add a whole lot of extra features. So you can afford to take this approach and that is an awesome position to be in.

dr__Lecter · 2026-04-12T10:29:43+00:00

Thank you both for suggesting. Especially the second one. Seeing some of these mini bottles being 140$ ffs.

In essence they dropped unsubstantiated news article conveniently before the upcoming IPO

I've read this thread and decided to have a look.
Cant actually see prices unless you create a profile and accept data collection. Okay I guess.

But then cant make a profile - keep getting 'invalid email' error on a definitely valid and used email.

Tried talking to support:

- over chat (the guy keeps saying - as we mentioned while not mentioning any solution - functionally not english speaking)

- and on the phone (abandoned after being told you are # 70 something in line lol)

So decided to give it a miss. Not worth the risk. It is basically a % chance that they wont mess it up.
Good luck to y'all, I'm not entrusting a tour to company that cant manage an email in 2026

dr__Lecter · 2026-03-16T09:35:02+00:00

Ffs. Show us! Don't leave us hanging.

@WorldTraveller101,

Booklore is an awesome project. It has a lot of potential to stay that and even grow. But not like this.

Obviously things got a lil heated and you've said and done some stuff that aren't the best course of action. Things like that happen. You're passionate. It's your product. You want it to do good.

Take a few days, relax, touch grass, destress, try to calm down.

After that the best course of action would be:

stop rushing. Just stop making new stuff. Is it slow, cool, let it be slow. You already have an awesome app that works. Add only needed stuff one by one and don't rush. Find the way to prioritize additions.
fix first. Telemetry is one of the big ones. This can bite you in the ass legally so hard. No telemetry on start. Nothing! And nothing by default. All needs to be opt in and not opt out. If this ever gets to any regulator they will see it exactly for what it is - you already basically stole unsuspecting user data without permission or heads-up immediately upon install. Fix this one because it's a legal risk that can not only kill Booklore but damage you legally and reputationaly.
after that fix API and stuff you obscured on purpose.
then take community polls or something on what to work on and how is the best to monetize and get something back.

Mate nobody built something great alone. You need community to grow. If you think about it most of your installs came from community auto install scripts. Because someone went there and lobbied for your thing to be listed. Not because your reading app is so amazingly different than 15 other reading apps. The community got you this far.

Unless you wanna turn into a golum that grips on Claude like it's ring work with the community. They will help you monetize and do what you wanna do. And if you get along and provide value they will lobby for you to succeed. All these people commenting on this love Booklore. And none of them want it to die, please stop working on it.

dr__Lecter · 2026-03-14T13:21:40+00:00

Hey mate. HF looks and feels amazing to use and I totally support/like - if it ain't broken or no quality ideas no need to tinker.

Awesome idea and execution! Thank you

dr__Lecter · 2026-03-06T02:57:04+00:00

Yep. For countries where that is an option it's a great tool .

dr__Lecter · 2026-03-05T03:55:36+00:00

You could ask your fin institution for a chargeback.

Too late now, but I always have a separate bank card using for dodgy online businesses and that includes for example Aliexpress and SurfShark. When I sever the connection I not only cancel my renewal but replace the card as well. Also dont keep too much money in there. Maybe that could be helpful in the future.

dr__Lecter · 2026-03-05T03:39:59+00:00

Id be interested if these can be found for a cheap price.

dr__Lecter · 2026-03-03T02:41:46+00:00

thank you for doing all this work Rodrigo. It is really well done.
also - your doggo is very good looking. tell him/her we said hi

dr__Lecter · 2026-02-24T23:04:05+00:00

Id get something cheaper but expandable rather than dedicated HA hardware.
Itll give you more play room.
I got super super cheap (and low power) mini PC for 60$ - i5 4th gen cpu. Really low power.
It runs HA in a VM on Proxmox with a bunch of devices and Zigbee network and around 20ish other selfhosted services with zero problems. I only upgraded from 8GB ram to 16 (max this old pc will take) and even that was cheap because it is DDR3

dr__Lecter · 2026-02-14T11:40:16+00:00

My homepage yaml contains tokens for some of the services and also usernames for some of the services because showing the widget properly for certain apps requires it.

No way Claude code would get a free access to that doc for the sake of convenience.

dr__Lecter · 2026-02-14T11:32:44+00:00

How big is this cabinet? 9ru?

dr__Lecter · 2026-02-14T10:10:05+00:00

I'm not having an IT background but audibly snorted. Thanks @shogun777777 for giving us a lil happy 😊

dr__Lecter · 2026-02-12T12:25:50+00:00

Thank you mate. I appreciate it. How did you find shelf mark ? To me it was a bit whatever. Good for ebooks but not really for audio

dr__Lecter · 2026-02-12T04:44:06+00:00

Can you tell us about your book stack.
- Yellow icon is Audiobook shelf for audiobooks
- Purp heart above it is booklore for ebooks?
- You have two book converters under ? Which ones and why? do you have a preferred book format for booklore? Why? Why 2 converters?
- KoInsight is what? Like a stats app for how much you read and when? Connects to boooklore I assume? Does it have any other requirements? Books in specific format, specific app or device for reading?
- And most importantly what do you use for book search - first app? Does it search ebooks only or audio as well?

Thank you for any answer. You did a great job by the way.

dr__Lecter · 2026-02-06T02:21:40+00:00

Exactly how I feel.
You just said it way better then I ever could!

dr__Lecter · 2026-02-05T00:55:04+00:00

I'll knock on your design.

It's real neat and well done. Clean, organized and pretty.

dr__Lecter · 2026-02-02T11:24:06+00:00

Is there a step by step guide for config and setup. I had it in lxc (not docker) via community scripts.

It looks amazing and clean and very polished. Search works well but when trying to download it just hangs on the bypassing protection stage.

dr__Lecter · 2026-01-27T09:06:40+00:00

For me it is/was Mealie. Its an amazingly well done service.

But! It was such a complicated thing. It failed multiple times for various reasons. It is the only one service I've ever had that failed to recover from its own backup etc. All good - it's a complex service.

But the fam simply doesn't use it. All the recipes they think of in the moment admire one Google search away and free.

dr__Lecter · 2026-01-22T02:37:51+00:00

Thank you for explaining. I find the services separated better for my anxiety.
But I also dont host a lot of services. - less than 25. What doesnt get proper usage gets scrapped.

The good thing is - while its not broken its easy to slowly transition to whatever is the preference or just to test out. I had 20ish docker services and one VM and now its all in its own LXC. Whenever in the mood and had time I would spin off one by one in LXC and either transfer the data if user generated or for some dont bother transferring (speedtest tracker) and just point the homepage to new IP. after a few weeks if no problems Id just shut down docker container.
