  • Good display has a round 1.65" color eink that includes:

    Red, Bule, Green, Yellow, Black and White

    Hopefully their product QA/QC is better than the marketing side.

    The prices are low, with the 7.5" touch display with front light under $50, 10.3" under $150, and the 13.3" under $360. I say “under” because they show a sale price, but the price I note is the full according to the page.

    $60 for the rest of the hardware according to free-ink makes these all good options pricewise, plus the cost of a proper case. I’d probably do one out of wood personally, I feel like that would be both fun and look really good.

    Overall a cool project, I’m going to have to check it out some more later.





  • I don’t do DRM, so the majority of my workflow is simplified. Download to the correct directory, auto-imported by Calibre and flagged for review of metadata, manually review metadata, convert to epub3 (even if its v3 to v3, I’ve removed wonky behavior before by doing so), export to appropriate directory for the OPDS server.

    Basically the same for audiobooks, but dropped into the directory for AudioBookShelf.

    What phone do you have that the jellyfin app and the jellyamp app are unavailable?

    Edit: Also you can support subsonic with jellysub acting as a go-between. Considering its not a music-first solution, I’m not surprised that it doesn’t support subsonic natively, personally.

    Edit 2: Its unmaintained but works as of the last time I tried it out, fwiw. It isnt exactly a complex codebase either if something got tripped up by minor changes.




  • Eh, there are different kinds.

    Miguel fit into the “pretty much just a dick” territory. Won’t admit to mistakes or underlying issues, just talks about himself and how great he is to deflect criticism.

    Federico is pretty awesome though.

    Edit: If you weren’t aware, Miguel also declared Linux was dead and moved to MacOS.

    He’s been pretty much a jackass for decades, his technical contributions and capability dont really change that.



  • I don’t keep good enough track of windows updates to know whether dual boot would be an issue, but there is another option here.

    I use some proprietary tools for work that have zero chance of running on Linux. While I have a laptop for work, its… Too slow for most uses other than using it for calls and for doing presentations.

    So what I have set up is a few VMs on my proxmox hosts, but you van do this on the same machine if you want with qemu. I have an iso I’ve cleaned up for my use of Win 10, when I need to use an app I have a script that starts the VM, then I RDP into it. Most of them are CPU reliant, though the ones that do need the GPU heavily are in a VM with a pass through for a quadro.

    All the benefits of native operation with little to none of the windows headaches. I’m currently testing a few of them that now support 11 on a tiny11 build - less than 20GB in total for the IS and everything I’m running in there.

    The “drives” in the VM where everything gets stored are just mapped to the local proxmox host, so even though its writing to my NAS it just shows up as a D drive.

    I do recommend having the C drive be an image stored on an ssd though, it’ll be a much better experience than running it off a store on a NAS or something (which works just great for Linux VMs BTW).
