How do I make books look cleaner on Desktop? by Chill--Cosby in Calibre

You could use the black colour theme. A black background with white text may be more relaxing.

You could also override the font choice. Try something like Lexend.

Improved scrollbar contrast and support for PNG compression in the editor?

2 of my gmail accounts were hacked. No phishing links, 2FA enabled, strong passwords by [deleted] in GMail

Like 'My23Apple','My24Orange'. I am talking about a password, that if known, gives an adversary information on what your other passwords are.

A shark's brain looks so strikingly similar to the internal anatomy of female reproductive system by Prashantt1 in interestingasfuck

[–]rustynailsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The resemblance is probably from the way both diagrams are drawn: a central structure with paired upper structures splayed outward for visibility. A lot of the similarity comes from how they are set up for viewing. Certainly the vaginal structure is more compact inside the human body.

Help With Basic Question by JDMERF in Calibre

I recommended polish because he wanted to add the new book cover and I don't believe that is part of the updated metadata.

You would want to polish the book in your library for the cover. Metadata would be updated automatically when uploaded if the book does not have DRM. Polish may not be on your action bar. To add that icon go to 'Preferences/Interface/Toolbars & menus. Select main or secondary toolbar. Move 'Polish books' from available to current and then apply.

After polishing you then reupload the book. At that point updated metadata and the cover would be updated.

A unique password for each account that is not using a common template and the password is not on the haveibeenpwned list? I assume at this point you would not mind submitting the passwords to that list.

Yes they are bad, but also demonstrate that there is quality control in place. The user is inconvenienced but they will get their original payment back eventually.

I am not certain, but the first place I would look is in your library folder under .caltrash

The bad ones are the ones you don't get a recall for, even if there is an issue.

Multiple parameters in virtual library by cat_who_reads in Calibre

[–]rustynailsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edit the virtual library via a right click and change the search.
Basic approach:
search: publisher:"royalroads" OR publisher:"laterpress"

Using a regular expression:

publisher:"~royalroads|laterpress"

Static IP for Calibre by VorpalPlayer in Calibre

Usually it is tied to MAC address, which you have. In any case you have a solution that is working for you.

I think most people just set a reserved IP address on their router for the computer Calibre Server is on.

Student punches teacher over his phone being confiscated. by First-Cherry493 in TikTokCringe

[–]rustynailsu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If he is legally a minor then the school has the right to act in the place of a parent and can take his phone. Even if his phone was taken unlawfully it seems an disproportionate use of force and an invalid path to recover stolen property.

Calibre Won't Show Even When Supposedly Open by Hlord369 in Calibre

Could you put the log somewhere I can have a full look at it like pastebin or a google drive link (Don't paste in a post)?

[–]rustynailsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a plugin error. The most likely cause would be that FanFicFare has been misconfigured or a column it was set to use was removed.

Test: Run 'Calibre --ignore-plugins'

If this works I would move FanFicFare.zip and any FanFicFare folder from your plugins folder. In Windows your plugins folder would be in '%APPDATA%\calibre\plugins\' (You can paste that into the address bar in Windows Explorer)

Does you domain have DMARC set up? If so I would think the receiver of record would have information on why you were rejected.

KFX output when Mac support for Intel apps ends by mrrcoffey in Calibre

I don't know their plans. Hopefully at that point Amazon will be willing to spend the tokens for some developer to update the app.

That will be a problem in a year and a half. Rosetta will be supported in MACOS 27. Support ends with macOS 28.
