It’s been a while since I used it but lazylibrarian has worked for me in the past.

I tried shelfarr as well with some success a while back, but haven’t needed any new books lately since I’m busy catching up on the books I’ve downloaded (the Bible is long lol).

What about reading on a koreader? Is bookbridge still the best bet?

A lot of companies have invested a lot into matter and thread. I’d be surprised if companies started requiring a call home to work. It doesn’t make sense to need that, since a thread network is, in a sense, offline by nature. Only the hub has access to the internet and it doesn’t require access to work, so having a device require a call home wouldn’t really make sense.

I get that enshittification is a real thing but I’d be surprised if it affected smart home devices in the way you are describing.

Why does Tailscale need to be used for Claude? Can’t you just ssh into it locally?

I very much appreciate this when working on a computer that’s not mine.

I also think it’s interesting that Ladybird is decidedly not including ad blocking, but leaving it to third party extensions. In some ways it makes a lot of sense to keep doing it that way.

Apple does a pretty good job of extracting dopamine from black and white packaging.

Making coffee is often the only part of my day that I have control over.

I remember editing my then girlfriend’s (now wife) papers in university, when she was struggling to explain something succinctly. I’d ask her: well what are you trying to say? And she would explain it to me, clear as day. “Just write that.”

Or better yet, an iPad!

I am enjoying my 92+

Buying buckets of used bricks is pretty cheap, too. I bought an adult's old lifetime collection for $30 CAD. My 2 year old son and I are still sorting them.

I have been enjoying building a CD and vinyl collection recently. IMO there is no better listening experience than putting a disc on a reasonably high end sound system, and sitting down with the liner notes and reading about what you are hearing. No screens, just music. It’s really quite something these days.

My 2 year old son is also enjoying this process. There is something magical about him asking to “see” the music, and getting excited about the album art. Some of his music requests are based on the album art — usually ones that actually depict the musicians.

Also on FF in Windows.
