Kindle befreit, koreader installiert und ans Familien-Calibre angebunden. #didit
I watched a documentary about the Yakuza and my next step was ordering the Outrage-trilogy by Takeshi Kitano…
There are authors who publish solely on Amazon because they want to be part of Kindle Unlimited. And then they need to do stuff like a Patreon, so that they can give books to readers outside of the Amazon-verse 🤦♂️
Is it really worth it?
Sehr interessantes Radio Feature zur Ausbeutung indischer Lieferdienstfahrer in Deutschland:
Fun! In 2026 there is apparently a live action Masters of the Universe-movie coming.
And now I figured out that I can use my calibre-web-server with koreader and readest. Actually this means I have now a better state for my use case than when using Amazon. I can directly download to my e-reader from my self-hosted library and can sync progress with a self-hosted solution. #ebooks
Cool, I have now self-hosted koreader-sync and I can use Readest on my iOS-devices to sync (and I can even download directly from my calibre-web-server) and have koreader on my Pocketbook. This is awesome!
The year begins with too much broken software already… 😞
We bought a used Mac for our kid, so that we can use it with screen time. And now it seems screen time is completely broken. It reports several hours of usage time for apps when our kid was asleep or didn’t have their iPhone, it doesn’t reliably allow to permit time for apps on macOS etc. 🤬 #apple
