people cruising in the left

This is a camera on a single lane road in the UK. They should be driving on the left.

No. Traffic cameras in your area are there to generate revenue.

The camera being covered here is not at an intersection so your offtopic comment about revenue is irrelevant. This is a camera on a stretch of road where drivers usually speed, the cameras are painted bright yellow to make them obvious and do a far better job of getting people to slow for hazardous corners than a sign ever did.

Its only Americans that I see being puritanical as a general rule. There are Christian sects in the UK who are against drinking, but its not the majority.

Jesus handed out wine at parties, and ordered his followers to drink wine.

Pretty sure its only because he didn't have access a good bitter.

Householders are angered by the discovery they cannot remortgage or sell their homes after installing spray-foam insulation to cut energy use.

We already have the left wing vote split by Labour, Lib Dem and Green.

If you want to claim the 36%, you'll need to add up the left wing parties together.

Nope.

The big thing is that the Deck uses Linux which allows Steam to provide an amazing interface.

All the "competition" still tries to use Windows, and the experience is appalling.

Pretty depressing reading.

So you don't understand what a monopoly is?

Because you don't have to be the only player in the overall game to be a monopoly, just simply big and powerful enough to be unaffected by the other players which fits Apples description.

Interesting back story.

Lord Buckethead has been three different people in different elections.

Count Binface is the second Lord Buckethead, the one who made the character famous when he stood against May in Maidenhead.

This will probably lead to vocal outrage because it's Systemd rather than an alternative project coming up with the solution.

Sudo has long known to have dangerous weaknesses, but it's generally been accepted since sudo solves a bunch of other problems. If we can fix the problems sudo has, then that's a good thing. Would be nicer if we could split up some of these projects though to stop uber projects.

Completely disagree. This is how it works, Microsoft get software for free but they have no authority to prioritise other people's scheduling

Plex for books? (feddit.uk)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by frazorth@feddit.uk to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I've picked up an eink Android tablet, which is awesome. However I have plenty of ebooks I've purchased over the years on places such as Humble, and I was wondering whether there was a self hosted solution like Plex/Emby/Jellyfin but designed for ebooks.

I've seen Calibre but it doesn't seem to be quite the same thing, and running a sync is a bit clunky for the spouse factor.

Is there anything that would index the books, show a bookshelf and allow me to read them, with offline support?

Preferably with an Android app for reading with, and the reader handling eink rather than scrolling.

I haven't observed any problems with uBlock Origin on Firefox.

It goes to show that those articles that shit on Millennials are just trying to create a division.

Gen Z, we've got your back.

You're getting confused with Windows.

Fedora isn't Windows.
