  • Just today I tried switching from Calibre on my Desktop to calibre-web-automated. But after about an hour of fiddling and searching, I went back to calibre on my PC.

    I couldn’t get KOreader on my kindle to simply sync books that I add to my library to my ereader wirelessly.

    The best I could manage is use KOreader to subscribe to CWAs OPDS feed, but that doesn’t automatically add new books, I would have to manually go to the OPDS feed and download the books. And apparently, kosync is only able to sync reading progress.

    With Calibre on. My desktop, I simply start the program on my PC, enable WiFi in Koreader and new books get automatically downloaded.




  • I bookmarked this post a few days ago, but only just had the time to set it up today. Installing it as a custom app on TrueNAS was very easy, if only I had known it would just be a 3 minute job :D

    I am running TrueNAS as well, and I keep snapshots for about a week. When I set up snapshots, I noticed the same issue as you: On a Linux client there seems to be no convenient way to browse these snapshots using the file manager (like “previous versions” on windows), and the only way I was able to browse snapshots was using ssh into the TrueNAS system.

    While inconvenient, I figured that’s good enough for me, I don’t really tend to accidentally delete files off my system and on the rare occasion that I do, I can just use the command line. So far, I didn’t have the need to access an earlier snapshot.

    But having a convenient way to browse the snapshots using a webUI is great, Thank you for creating this application, so far it works great as a custom application on TrueNAS, I was able to successfully browse and download files from previous snapshots :)

    Some things that can be useful, although I don’t know how easily they can be implemented:

    • When viewing a snapshot, highlight files (and possibly folders) that differ from the current state (deleted files in red, modified files in yellow, for example)
    • Downloading entire folders, that would probably require timeship to zip them up beforehand, though.


  • The issue about that extension is how it handles consent.

    In most cases, the add-on just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what’s easier to do

    You should be aware that it will often just accept all cookies, because that is easier.

    i do love sweet potato, but quite often it seems they dont fit.

    6 is so low on the list, because I genuinely never had good ones. If someone serves crinkle-cut fries, they are always the most bland, soggy, frozen industrial ones they can find.

    Similar goes for 2 and 4, although they usually dont taste as bland, they seem to have some seasoning on them.
