I’ve been using Wallabag for years, after leaving Pocket, then just sharing links between devices using browser bookmarks or sync, and trying another solution that was shiny but lacking (can’t recall the name).

Wallabag has extensions for most browsers, apps for iOS and Android (that hook into the “Share with…” functionality), and runs in a low-resource Docker container. The web UI isn’t pretty, but it’s functional.

I have SWAG+Authelia (another Docker stack) and Cloudflare sitting in front of it, so has all the SSL and MFA needed.

HP Lovecraft has entered the chat…

I wonder if that’s true. Two generations after his death, people are likely to remember the brands and buildings that still bear his name and assume he was a Good Guy.

In the same way that people do with, say, Edison, Ford and Rockefeller today. Rather than as the monstrous pieces of shit they were.

Good grief. The Bastard Operator From Hell" (BOFH) really nailed it with their random explanation system back in the 90s. “Why is…?” “Solar flares!”

Anything to get them off the phone so the next sucker who picks up when they call back will have to do the work.

That’s the one. And fair enough.

Had a couple of users tell me it crashed their PCs, but that was my only reference.

Just reading this gave me a flashback to the old Windows 9x issue where, if you left a machine running “too long”, it would crash. 😅

Can’t recall the number of days, though. 38? 68? 78? Something like that.

We’ve all moved over to Wayland already…

Have you seen the apt sources list that CW generates on boot? It’s semantics. 😊

Agree, though calibre-web exists and runs in a single Docker container. I’ve been using it for a few years, and it’s great.

Sure its a whole Linux server under the hood just to run Calibre and the services required to give it a web interface and API for reading apps - making it way bigger than it needs to be - but it does the job.

The article doesn’t mention it, but I’m assuming this was older kit with a factory standard user/pass and “remote support” enabled without source IP control.

Terrible idea then; worse idea now.

Yet ISPs still do it and complain when you fix it at your end. 😬

That’s whataboutery, no? “X did a bad thing.” “What about Y doing the same/similar things?”

Both can be true at the same time. Whataboutery only serves to distract from the original point.

This is a fair point. But I thought there was some uncertainty surrounding signed binaries, Play force-scanning APKs (regardless of source), and such?

Absolutely fair correction. 👍🏻

SmartTube is pretty good on AndroidTV: SponsorBlock, DeArrow, no ads, etc.

At least while we’re still able to sideload… 😔

Yet another example of “CEO said a thing”.

This should come in handy for the recently projected need for 300 GB RAM* in upcoming self-driving cars.

*Not a typo. 😳

And a cracking game it was, fellow silver surf–oh god, we really are old!

Haha! Sadly, I think that image is probably in Sammy’s wank bank… 😬

Isn’t all this “OpenAI drops…” stuff (goonbot, Sora/Disney, etc) all because of Altman’s recent statement that they’re going to switch to being a one trick pony shop? As in: one product, win or lose.

But if it’s lose, I guarantee they’ll Ministry of Truth that statement.

After too many wild rides with Watchtower auto-nuking services, thanks to breaking changes (migrations, DB updates, deployment changes, etc), I switched to What’s Up Docker and pin the version for all of my containers.

WUD lets me know when something has an update, so I periodically go through their release notes and do the update(s) manually. Usually as simple as read the notes, changes version in compose, down (or pull), then “up -d”. But this approach has saved my bacon multiple times.

I’ve seen there are other solutions - of varying degrees of promises vs delivery - but most of my stuff is long term and stable. My approach maintains all that.
