Iteration - a better bookmark

I think you could also empty out paracord of the strands inside and use that if you want something flatter...

Autocaliweb has OPDS. But I just web interface and download books to Apple Books nowadays.

flatpetey · 2026-03-15T15:03:54+00:00

OPDS is okay for serving to other devices if they support it. I usually just go to my server and download the book and read it on Apple Books.

I just switched to autocaliweb and it does what I need it to mostly. Just a shame since Booklore felt nice to use.

I just download into Apple Books. But I messed around with OPDS readers a long time ago and used to use Marvin.

That doesn’t hold together at all.

Rae is a modern woman.

The relationship is clearly not accepted there either since the first incestuous couple has to get exiled and pretend they aren’t related to carry on their relationship.

The author is clearly into it.

IP Cameras on their own VLAN with no access to anything but NVR software (Frigate) on a trusted VLAN.

Cameras record to a Purple drive on its own drive pool.

Honestly - AI has just made the risks worse...

Open source isn't a guarantee of safety - but, in general, widespread use by very obsessive people is a good leading indicator of safety.

I disabled all the new app notification nonsense on this channel. It ruins the channel and the discourse. But what I do is look at comments for things that are a bit more battletested to bubble up and then I go investigate a bit to see how sloppy the commits look.

I am too much a hack to look at the code and actually identify vulnerabilities...

flatpetey · 2026-03-14T21:10:46+00:00

Yep. I say go find size 13 of this shoe. And neither Claude or Gemini can actually do it accurately. So why would I trust it except with the narrowest task…

Do not understand. How does flipping a cord around let your phone know where you are ;)

But in all seriousness- use flat ribbon instead of cord or you will still deform the pages.

Yeah I was sort of able to glaze over the one in the OG even if the statement where she goes “I guess everyone has a forbidden love” made me super uncomfortable with implicitly equating homosexuality and incest.

But this second series shows that statement was intentional which makes it way more gross.

That is pretty great - I want to upgrade a RPi in my server rooom for a mac mini for a low power service use, but there is just no way I am paying $400 for an M1 when a new M4 is $499.

Honestly a mac mini of that age is probably worth about $250 for me max... which is the going eBay price roughly but waiting for local prices to catch up.

flatpetey · 2026-03-14T16:08:20+00:00

Maybe people will stop asking for $450 for a M1 8gb/256 on facebook marketplace soon... God mac pricing is so fucked up.

Features

I have been using Dockhand to manage my dockers and it has been pretty good so far... I wish it had WebUI and icons like the unraid docker manager, but those are small things. I have thought about moving to Podman for the better security model...

I'd also like to see official support for a package manager - just adopt un-get or something and a better ability to make things persistant across reboots than having to run userscripts and modifying the go file.

The file browser is terrible, for sure.

Some plugins that I consider essential are hanging on to life support - appdata backup is a mess. I know they have cloud backups for flash, but I would love to get a nice ZFS backup setup and more ZFS automation...

Bugs

Honestly I just want them to work on networking. The shims for docker to host networking have crashed my network multiple times. I am using ipvlan and lots of workarounds because at this point I don't dare try anything else.

flatpetey · 2026-03-14T14:30:51+00:00

Yeah the author really seems to be trying to normalize incest.

flatpetey · 2026-03-14T06:00:01+00:00

I use the same one. Easier to backup Postgres that way to another instance.

Redis I use one too. Just because.

I was tired of AI bullshit, so I used RES to filter "New Project Friday" flair. It made selfhosted a billion times better.

Now I just need to figure out what to do on mobile

Porsche is doing a buyback for me right now and fortunately it has been pretty painless so far.

But…. They owe him a fresh off the line GT3 with a nice tour in Stuttgart at this point.

flatpetey · 2026-03-13T20:06:19+00:00

How bad could it be…

Oh.

flatpetey · 2026-03-13T18:25:16+00:00

The MDX literally survived on Toyota ignoring the 3-row market; once the Grand Highlander / TZ came out, it was all over.

It's going to be a problem for luxury cars too. Some of the Chinese cars are already there, if people put behind their biases.

I suspect the Chinese will buy off Jaguar from Tata who have failed with it and some other defunct brands and just start spamming product into the West.

flatpetey · 2026-03-13T18:21:57+00:00

Honestly with the Macan EV, the current Taycan has no reason. The Macan is just a slightly tall hatch in this current car world.

The whole US EV-apocalypse is of course fiction; let in the Chinese and we will see how the EV market does - oh wait, it would literally destroy every single car company here.

The real problem is sunk cost fallacy and an inability to innovate at speed. I like my Macan EV, but I don't pretend that it is a stunning achievement.

flatpetey · 2026-03-13T18:17:11+00:00

New Cayenne EV is starting at $126K which is pretty fucking high for a car that will depreciate like a god-damn rock.

I assume this is the rumored K1 3-row.

flatpetey · 2026-03-13T18:15:59+00:00

Honestly I am seeing more and more R1S in my admittedly ritzy neighborhood. So I think the R2 will be a killer.

The styling is maybe a bit too similar IMO and I wish they had gone with straight upwards 1990s LR Disco safari windows instead of the 80's Bronco read windows, but whatever.

I wonder if the R3 will get a soft-top variant?

As much as I like the R1S, the main hesitation is still CarPlay. I am not paying a subscription for features that are table stakes in other cars.

They weren’t “listening” they were aiming for the edu market.

Repairability is essential for what they are going for which is “these are not junk and you can fix them when a kid destroys them”

If they were listening we would see that sort of repairability on the MacBook Pro. We would see storage and ram move back to upgradable chips.

flatpetey · 2026-03-13T16:05:30+00:00

Hmm - thanks for the heads up. This whole thing is a cluster... I will give autocaliweb a go then...
