The problem with the send to Kindle option is email attachment size limit. For books it’s fine but manga and comics are usually too big.

My Kindle is old enough that I was able to jailbreak it and install KOReader so I can just download from my Calibre server directly via OPDS. Otherwise if it’s too big for email you’ll have to do it over USB I think.

I’m sad the locking issue just barely missed the cut:

Glad that’s getting sorted though it’s been a huge pain point for me.

Ah sorry I misinterpreted your comment. I see it’s specifically for Silicon Macs. Mine’s Intel :( I got too excited.

Oh right on! Maybe I’ll try that then, that MBP is collecting dust so I’d love to put it to good use. Thanks for the info.

Not M1 but I tried installing Mint in my touch bar 2021 MBP and zero components worked. No track pad, no keyboard, wifi, Bluetooth etc.

Apple doesn’t provide the drivers.

Great tips. I hunted 2.5" HDDs when I was doing my build but they seem to be on their way out, being meant for laptops which are now largely just using SSDs :(

TIL! Sorry about that, I never actually tried adding ebooks to it so I had no idea

Sounds like you want Calibre + Calibre-Web! Web has a nice frontend that lets you send to Kindle, or download or just read right there. There are definitely apps that let you link to that library and read the books that way. If you have a different ebook that supports KOReader, even better. You can add your calibre Web

Someone below mentioned Audiobookshelf which is great but it for audiobooks.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there are hardcoded credentials in places and that’s enough for them to be able to say they can’t lol

Bitwarden now has their own secrets manager!

Ignore the enterpriseyness of that link. Once you log in normally just make an org and you should see the option to use secrets manager. It’s free for up to two orgs.

I’m lazy and use a Discord webhook to a special channel.

Fusion starts that way and I was thinking the same at first but it opens up after an hour or two.

I haven’t tried this, but a combo of

YTDLP subscribed to a playlist of your choice, downloading to a directory which you can mount to Jellyfin and make a library should work.

OMG! This was driving me nuts yesterday and I thought it was because I had just rerun docker compose and couldn’t figure it out. I ran a full recursive permission change on the jellyfin directory and reran the Ansible playbook and thought I fixed it. Turns out it just updated 10.9.6 when I reran the playbook, lmao

Lol and we’re forgetting the biggest QOL feature of all: actually coming installed with pre built computers.

Chrome OS was the only one to ever make a dent.

Without that this will always be a “power” user OS. People just want it to work.
