  • I find it very confusing to get a good workflow with it + calibre.

    I sync all of my books (and use readarr for organization or occasionally grabbing books from dead authors) via syncthing. Then calibre web won’t ingest any new books I copy to the folder, so I have to go to desktop calibre to add them manually, then it will sync the database and calibre-web has a built-in task for scanning any database changes so then the book will show up.

    Seems like a clunky method and I would think I am doing it wrong, but I haven’t found a way for calibre to scan books already organized in folders in its book directory.











  • Yes, but people are forgetting how it was discovered.

    It was discovered because there was a visible performance impact by running benchmark tests on other, time-critical software.

    Do you know how it was not discovered? By maintainers looking through changes of the software and looking through the code, exactly the way that the commenter and you and others are saying things would be caught.

    If the attacker hadn’t been so eager and only set it to start working after a time delay a year later or multiple updates later? It would have infected almost every server in the world, even if it got noticed immediately, it would have been a giant problem that would have reaped the benefits for the malicious party before it could be regressed and changed.






  • And this is why I try to recommend to every single person starting their smart home to plan it so that if everything dies, their internet, their router, power gets restarted, and their HomeAssistant gets corrupted, and you die, at the same time, that everything will work exactly as expected, because with MANY smart home systems they will just stop functioning or be stuck in a bad mode until your family hires someone to fix it.

    That’s why I lean hard towards KNX
