Nice, glad you like the design. I do too.

I think in theory it would be easier to repair. But it is 250 which is quite a bit.

Ill know in a couple months!

If anyone wants to see the old project: https://hackaday.io/project/192688-the-open-book

Its been around for a bit. The newest iteration looks like its trying to be more like kindle.

GH page: https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book

I forget where but the developer goes over the cost of the physical hardware a couple of years ago somewhere. Its kinda expensive to make your own open source ebook reader from mostly scratch.

I like this version: https://www.oddlyspecificobjects.com/projects/openbook/

Very similar to https://diptyx.dev/

But its been around longer. Software looks really good for an esp32. Im hoping we see more of these open source ebook readers pop up.

WTF did I read

They test a LOT of the packages from what I understand. Not a good or bad thing but it does make things harder to update as time goes on.

My union made my healthcare much better and is the reason behind my raise. Its great!

Its been a couple of years. Is mono still a thing? Or was it eaten up by .net core? If its still a thing than Mono. We did that for a couple of one off apps back in the day.

If I had to redo it, i would probably just use core on Linux and call it a day. Maintainability is better than purism anyways. Again all my opinions.

Actually if you want my full opinion, I would probably use python to create a proof of concept real quick…then have it remade if it needs to be faster in go/rust/whatever the rest of the team knows :)

I personally like C# and NOT .net…but im a weirdo.

It used to be VB.net and other such stuff. It WAS pretty terrible. Ive had to pick apart some pretty horrendous applications. Then Mono/C# popped up and a lot of community effort went into making everything better. It helps that .net stole a LOT of functionality from Rails/Django/etc… and make it much easier for devs to do actual work on it.

The problem is when we talk about .net it could be a huge combo of tech from the last 10+ years. The newest iteration is fine. Its fast at least with C#.

Its so nice C# can run in Linux :).

At work, we joke that MS will eventually get tired of the OS game and just throw Windows tools on top of Linux and call it. Then just become a SaaS provider for everything else. Not WSL like legit linux kernel with Windows.

Yeah they just have an emoji at the beginning of the username. However the changes they made comics do actually benefited us all. Sometimes collective discuss can make good things happen :)

If i cant do it in a weekend i usually hire someone.

…unless it brings me joy. Then its fun like setting up my miyoo mini plus with a cystom pokrmon theme.

Yep. And more distros support so theres more incentive to fix any issues that have popped up. Plus theres more c devs in the world than rust.

Im so happy work stopped using ubuntu server after last time.

Also how the heck do you break cp of all things.

I dont want to experiment with core utils.

Thats an idea.

Sounds funny.

I was thinking of doing this just for the fun of it…but then I realized ill be giving MS where I live and other info with the shipping. Meh git is git. So I wont be doing it. But its a funny poke at Sony.

From what im seeing people are looking at steam/linux as an alternative not windows. With the RAM shortage, windows is probably the worst solution out of the available options.

Either way it sucks to get rid of the only way to get used games anymore. Im hoping this kicks back more and we see more partnerships with companies like limited run games and others who do physical releases. https://megacatstudios.com/products/zpf for example.

Nginx.

It runs everything at home and at work.

And my axe!

Sorry its a old one.

Thas the best thing about the fediverse. As long as your on, you can communicate with others.

Yeah i liked it too.

I self host freshrss which is better nowadays.
