Thanks OP and others (especially @gedaliyah@lemmy.world ) for write-ups and insight!

I recently acquired a Kobo Elipsa 2E and started the journey experimenting. I've got a small library of mostly technical study books and ebooks/pdfs and some regular ebooks and comics that Id like to consume, in that order of importance. Set up Calibre-Web-Automated and Komga but not yet integrated with the Kobo in any way, but sure on the workflow.

But something that might be more important is a "read it later" setup of some sort. Currently experimenting with a self hosted Wallabag setup and KOReader. The sync is working fine, downloading the articles. Though I'd love to have a way of syncing highlights/annotations back somehow. And another thing is that images is not included in the KOReader side - so an article referencing a image of a chart for example will lack said image.

Anyone have any tips on their setup? Other alternatives or tweaks/options I might look into.

This is so good! Need start looking for a quilt and badger my friend into letting me commission the sewing.

Oh nice, yeah I havn't thought about suggesting a systemd-service thats neat! If you'd like you could contribute it as a discussion/suggestion/PR if you land on liking it, thatd be lovely.

With the image backups in the next release you could maybe even build some kind of auto rollback functionality.

This question is usually asked a lot.

This started as a project to prove that you could check for updates without first pulling every new image to compare against, while that's not why it kept get getting traction my original answer to this question still seems true:

From Watchtower Docs - Arguments

Due to Docker API limitations the latest image will still be pulled from the registry.

And:

Do not pull new images. When this flag is specified, watchtower will not attempt to pull new images from the registry. Instead it will only monitor the local image cache for changes

It's also a different approach. With dockcheck you'd run it and then make the choice what you'll update there and then. Selectively choosing exactly what containers to update at the moment. Or have it completely unattended auto update a selection of images.

With the notifications, you can get notified and then have a sitdown and auto-update what you choose.

It's just different workflows and options.

The upcoming release will also add a new option to backup the image being updated and then autoprune old backups after N days. To allow for easy rollback if a new image breaks.

Hey, I wrote a simple intro recently from guiding two friends into Fedora KDE without any previous knowledge. Its just an introduction really, but covers some basics.

It does not cover dual booting though. As they both decided to fully swap after brief testing.

Others already mentioned Ventoy and that bricking isn't really a risk - the worst you'd encounter is a complete wipe and restart so make sure you've got things backed up either way.

Thank you! Yeah I'm the same - if the first thing I see on a project page is some picture or video or output of what it's about I'm much more intrigued to read on.
