KEPUB (whatever that is)

It's an EPUB file that's been optimized for a Kobo device.

And no, I don't have Calibre running behind this anymore. I took the database Calibre (since I used it previously) had already created, loaded it with Calibre-Web, and it had enough capability that for me at least, I don't need the desktop app anymore. I'm sure there's any number of reasons why someone might, but for me, it works on its own.

What version of Calibre-Web are you using? Mine has support to upload an image for a cover. I'm just using the latest docker image from ghcr.io/linuxserver/calibre-web.

My current workflow is pretty basic, I took my Calibre library I already had, dropped it into Calibre-Web and moved to a fully web based setup (so I don't use Calibre at all anymore, just Calibre-Web). I've got the Kobo integration working too so I can mark books to sync to my device through the browser and then just sync my Kobo wirelessly.

I tend to use the Kobo store to purchase new books so I'm a bit lax about grabbing local copies of everything, but whenever I do get new books I can upload them into Calibre-Web, edit the metadata after I match the book, and then I'm good to go. But I also don't add books that often at the moment, so haven't seen much point in investing much time into further automation.

My go to choice for this is ocserv to run a Cisco AnyConnect server, and sniproxy to sit on port 443 and handle traffic routing. You configure sniproxy to go to a different server by hostname, and configure ocserv as the fallback option to access the VPN. Any host I expose via sniproxy provides its own HTTPS certificate via my Traefik server.

So in Qatar, we need Max to win the race, Oscar to come second, Lando to come 9th, and then in the sprint, Oscar to win, Max in 8th and Lando behind Max. There's other ways to do it as well of course but that sets up a three way tie going into Abu Dhabi.

Calling / reaching out for help is the obvious one, but sadly being able to get their last words out to family is also a consideration.

It probably could if everyone did it the same way. But I suspect that isn't what's happening, so while our brains pattern recognition the message reasonably easily regardless of the substitution, doing that at scale with regex would be a lot more difficult.

The comment about convenience trumping almost everything else reminded me of this old post (wasn't originally on The Urban Dictionary but they have it now under the definition of Linux).

If Operating Systems Ran The Airlines

When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?"

Probably seems random but I was really hoping to see an expansion of the glamour dresser functionality they added where sets could be grouped together to include the Alliance Raid gear. Dungeon gear can be grinded out solo for most older stuff and with duty support if it can't, but Alliance Raids need at an absolute minimum 3 people - more depending on the raid (LotA needs 12 minimum because of the Atomos, Orbonne I don't think can be cleared with 3 because of Agrias even if the previous two raids can be, and I've not seen a 3 man NieR raid yet, and definitely not Myths of the Realm or Jeuno).

So you would tend to hold onto AR gear over dungeon gear purely because it's harder to replace. Being able to group sets of 5 pieces into one glamour slot would be perfect. Especially with a whole bunch of new glam dropping this patch!
