Ayy Moonreader+, I use that one too. So responsive.

For downloading, I use Readarr or manually download from where I buy the books. A lot of the time the books I buy have DRM so I end up pirating them anyway 🤷. When readarr sends a book to calibre, it tells it to convert it so I've always got epub and mobi available.

For accessing my library, I use calibre-server, which I think comes bundled with the calibre desktop app. It's got a basic web interface for uploading, editing some metadata, and downloading; and an OPDS API which my e-reader can use to download books. If I'm outside my home network I use my VPN to access it because I don't trust calibre to be secure enough for internet exposure lol.

Don't recall why I chose this instead of calibre-web but it works fine for my purposes. I don't read comics though.

I got a bus + sleeper from the Gold Coast to Sydney last year, loved it. Bed was fine, was cool having my own little cabin. The shower was adequate, kinda cramped but the temperature was good. Breakfast was proper food, unlike someone else's description of the Syd-Mel. The electricity was a bit weak as I recall, just made my laptop drain a bit slower.

Going in the other direction during the day was absolutely lovely, a much nicer experience than flying. Got to see so much scenery and felt very relaxed...until the bus ride.

It was not much cheaper than flying and I only did it because I care about carbon emissions. Would be nice for the environment if they could bring the cost down - when NSW did free trips they included the XPTs and they were booked out, so people are obviously willing to use them if the price is low enough.

Or just carbon tax the fuck out of air travel 😈

Apparently the same guy that did the purple Liberal signs, Simon Frost, is the Yes23 campaign director. Explains why things are such a shambles; when was the last time anyone from the Coalition ran a positive campaign?

The support person even said they don't see any queries in the logs, you'd think that would be a clue to send the logs including queries.

Yeah I bounced off it the first time, then I tried taking notes while reading it and enjoyed it much more.

I use Moon+ Reader. It's not open source but it's so snappy; page changes are instant and scrolling is flawless. It connects to my calibre server too. Android only I think.

Yep. Can't dodge it, encourages productive use. The only thing is it might push more properties towards airbnb unless you tax that more to make it less profitable.

Plenty of corrupt conduct doesn't quite meet the criminal standard. It's one reason bodies like ICAC exist. In this instance, it seems like Berejiklian should have declared her conflict and recused herself from dealing with these grants. But did her relationship actually change how she acted on them? That's harder to prove even if it was the case.

Edit: this page has info on the elements that constitute criminal misconduct

Edit2: oh yeah, ICAC also has coercive powers that allow it to get evidence that would be inadmissible in court. There's probably a bunch of that here.

I used to lurk /r/printsf and /r/weirdlit, and note down anything that sounded interesting. I also sometimes look at award winners + nominations. I guess I'll have to make more of an effort now.

I'm just using the website, the UI's more busy but it's basically bug free.

I used to get mad about aphids but now I'm happy that they attract ladybugs and give the lacewings something to eat.

The ants though, they can get fucked. Can't enjoy this nice little ecosystem I'm cultivating if they swarm me every time I step on the grass. I mix cornmeal, maple syrup and borax when they get too populous.
