https://github.com/nodrm/DeDRM_tools is just the first one that pops up. Theres a LOT of software out there that does this. I would recommend getting a copy as GitHub has been going after “grey” repos for a bit once they are discovered (see switch emulation and the many fan games).

Most of the time, I personally just avoid by going to publishers that dont lock down books. They make things much easier than Amazon.

Nice having your own library is the way to go!

I heavily depends on where you get them. Most ebook publishers actually DONT put DRM on them. And other software can very easily remove the DRM if it is on the books.

Most systems can read the ebook format. Linux/Mac/Windows often comes with software. And if they dont, Calibre can work them.

https://github.com/Quill-OS/quill is a thing, although you have to get the exact model in order to make it work.

I really wanted https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book to be a thing, but its very hard to get the parts and assemble (in my opinion).

https://gitlab.com/guyjeangilles/piereader looks promising.

Honestly, the biggest hurtle does NOT appear to be the hardware, its getting the ebook in an open format. If Amazon removes the ability to download the files, then it really doesn’t matter what you run, you cant read your book.

Theres other publishers that give you all the file types like: https://www.baen.com/. I recommend finding and supporting those.

Looks like it’s just in relation to the ui.

It’s git is here https://github.com/miniflux

Fresno ca also is out at city hall. I’m not near so I can’t get a pic. Only link I was able to find is on local subreddit (with bots lol)

…and there’s been another plane crash just a bit ago.

That’s terrible…

Just fyi there is some good publishers like baen that still support and don’t plan on removing ebook format downloads.

It doesn’t. There is no truely unique ID in the US.

Then he doesn’t do it. Pump and dump. Repeat.

FreshRSS is nice. You can hook into any client you want on android/ios/etc… or use theirs. Reminds me of google reader and some others. This is what it looks like:

I have mine selfhosted. Pretty easy on yunohost, docker, or other sites. Looks like they have a couple of servers out there if you dont want to self host: https://freshrss.org/cloud-providers.html

I can see that!

I2P is wild. I played around with it a while back. Looks cool,but I just cant find anything interesting on the network.

Yes very true. Honestly it just makes the internet a bit more resilient in the long run…but those growing pains will be interesting. If ISPs start rolling out router blocklists like the news has been saying, it might mean rooting/getting a custom router becomes a necessity.

Woops I always get those mixed up in my head. Which is silly.

I need to find time and look at all the amazing zines that are out there. ctrl-zine looks fun.

DNS can and has been taken down if site admins dont respond. As long as you use the US for resolving your .coms/.orgs etc… Your ISP may take action as well.

You can get around it with quite a few methods. But yeah those are the big ones.

The internet is a bit more centralized than people think.

Nice gopher site! I recently(?)made one as well. Its kinda fun and easy to do. That CSS is awesome!

Ive found using clients to watch helps. They are generally much more intelligent on the history side.

And now everyone will know their name for all time…Kinda scary realy. Not worth a job. Thats going to stay with them, Imagine if they get on Elons bad side, they will be tossed to the wolves.

Terrible…
