KOReader [1] is my favorite reader. Pairs well with my syncthing library of ebooks (I just keep the phone's copy in read-only mode).

Koreader interface with syncthing is not that user friendly to non techs, very powerful can do anything but i don't think i would advise that to non techie

KOReader can update over WiFi as well, right?

You mean whether the KOreader software can upgrade itself over Wi-Fi? Yes... it can.


Just to add, KOReader might not look super use friendly at first, but I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s an amazing reader.

Once your used to it, the controls are a lot better than stock kindle as well imo.


To add to this, since the original comment mentioned kindle, you can jailbreak many of the models and install KOReader in them if you want to keep using the hardware.

And then you can automatically sync your reading process with the KOReader phone app. I use that functionality almost every day for when I don't have my Kindle with me (train ride, lunch break etc).

Using readera with network connection disabled. Super app.

I've taken StreetComplete with me on walks around my neighborhood and on a few vacations. It was really easy to submit data for missing items.


I did my first contributions last week with it. Really easy and the UI is simple and nice.


On a Rubiks cube, the center tile always remains constant. I was surprised at this when I accidentally broke one apart to find a static 3d cross piece to each cube face (e.g. a non-moving tile). Everything else rotates around it


Thanks for pointing out ReManager. After moving to the Move, I've sorely missed my handful of toltec packages (koreader, etc.).


Left 4 Dead handled this pretty well in my opinion (i.e. mob spawning behind if you're playing too slowly or a tank in front if you're going too quick). I absolutely hated the dynamic adjusting in games like Mario Kart, though.


Or Descent. Pity the fool who hits the map key mid-multiplayer fight.


This short story was scarier to me as a kid than anything else I read at the time.


The movie adaptation — “Charlie” — is heartbreakingly good.


This one? Not called “Charlie” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0210044/


That's a 2000 remake of the 1968 film.

Also, I misspelled the title: It's "Charly"

None of the filtering is working for me. Same with search.

kubuntu26.04 Tried in latest Firefox and latest Chromium


Thanks for flagging — can you share which filters you tried? The leaderboard at capframe.ai/leaderboard filters by severity/rule client-side. If something's broken on Kubuntu/Firefox I want to fix it.


I couldn't toggle any filter earlier. Now I'm able to :shrug:


At $DAYJOB, we use the Telmate terraform proxmox provider, too. Upgrades over the years have had a few papercuts (mainly when values are shifted around), but it has overall been an immense timesaver. A terraform repo contains the 2 colocation datacenter proxmox environments plus a local lab edition of the same builds (locallab uses containers vs full VM's on the "real" hardware so that I can run almost all of the configuration on my laptop). Saltstack gets deployed during the buildouts, which picks up the OS/ application configuration after the OS is deployed.

No agentic stuff on our stack, as our security posture can't afford that currently.

As for the load-balancing, I think the later versions have supported targeting proxmox clusters vs a single node, and the newest Proxmox can do resource auto-balancing. That might get you what you need


Ah, I mean load balancing like an AWS ALB; obviously one can use an Nginx or HAproxy for that, but it's not a primitive, you need to deploy a machine and run it.

They have auto-balancing now? Damn. I wrote a balancer using the Google OR-SAT solver because there was no VMWare DRS equiv.


It's something very new (I think as of the 9.2 version?). I haven't tried it because I don't have quite the need to let it do it's own thing yet.


Ha, a Wikipedia article link to Zenzizenzizenzic was on HN earlier today! I don't think I would have gotten that one right otherwise.
