Congrats it’s worse! Harder to get to :)

Take a look at onion os. It has some tips.

All the time. Mostly on retro handhelds that run linux.

Doesn’t look like it for now. Honestly, I would just get an RSS feed at that point, but you do you. Or make a ublock origin rule to remove them.

Maybe you can fork it and remove it? The code is pretty easy to read.

I once had a company give me a take home assignment on bitbucket. Private repo. Got the work, made the API endpoint that did the thing.

Followed up with them. No response. Nothing for a week. Then suddenly I get an email that they merged my code and they forgot that I had access to the repo. I could see that they were selectively merging canadates code into their own system. When I asked them with a followup if they had any questions on the code, no response and suddenly I had no access on the git side.

Yeah they were crowd sourcing an app. I just did a bunch of free work. Never again. Nowadays I just reject jobs that require any coding outside an interview. It’s a two way street, it’s not worth giving people free work.

Yeah I was able to host Piefed for a bit. It’s pretty readable.

Aww piefed is not on it.

But great job!

Im not sure piefed can as well? But it would be cool if it did.

If they go online, then yeah updates are a good thing.

Personally, I just dont make it go online. Calibre is so good that updates only make it worse.

Heh yeah… I was part of the linux port for fun for a bit. Certain models are just pop the bottom off and now you have access to the SD card(!) that they use for the linux kernel. AND they published the linux kernel info on GH so we even knew what they were customizing under the hood. Not a whole lot if im honest. The battery/SD card/screen/buttons are all kinda cheap, but also super easy to swap out. So you just put https://github.com/Quill-OS/quill on it and boom linux eink device.

I think osme of their newer models have less repairable parts as the product line has become more popular.

Thats the one I remember. Its so funny some of the comments in the GH PRs and Issues themselves.

On a side note, im seeing more and more people transfer over to Codeberg and other such git alternatives. Ive used GH for over 15 years and its interesting to see the shifting occurring. Then again, to those of us that have been online for a while, it feels like the natural order of things. GH is trying to get as much $$ as they can (which includes AI) and its new features are becoming tied to monitary components. Meanwhile the community is making things its users actually want.

Actually quick question, how did the author pull in all those resources on the comment section? That is pretty awesome!

I still have my kindle thats over 10 years old.

I got a Kobo and its awesome as well. Ironically, because wallmart couldn’t be bothered to use good components they made it extremely repairable.

The best place to find a good working ebook reader is to either use an old phone (which is not really eink, but without wifi modern phones can last a bit). Or go to a thrift store and find a decent one for 10$ or less. Just make sure it turns on and you should be good!

I like the authors recommendation of something VERY cheap like a 10$ reader…but its probably not viable if Im honest. Sounds like a lot of e-waste that would occur.

I love it! Thanks!!

This is so accurate lol.

I would love one that is pain driven development. Because the only thing that actually gets done is triage.

It works. You have to ask them for permission if last I checked. You can also just run your own and use actions from the gitea system.

This is on top of potential tariffs which if enacted will make PC costs skyrocket. I feel like a lot of people are just going to skip the generation like they do with every other windows OS version. They will just keep windows 10 forever kinda like XP did back in the day.

nice!

Ive personally used proton as well for the one program that I need in windows land. It works really well.

Piefed is kinda awesome. Switched earlier in the year :)

Maybe I should have just linked the blog post: https://invariantlabs.ai/blog/mcp-github-vulnerability
