Nice, you get a sticker!

I think rust would also bring in more developers. So more changes would eventually make its way into the kernel.

Admins have the ability to add upper limits to user uploads. I set mine to 100gb but it’s a family instance.

If you have the rights or it’s cc then that’s fine.

If you don’t make sure you have permission from the creators or rights holders.

GitHub

GitHub can selfhost, but only on enterprise. Quite a few large companies have their own just to limit what code can get out.

I did interviews at google, yahoo, and a couple of the other big Bay area places. I almost accepted some job offers, but the local area was very competitive, so I stayed put.

They were very professional, very serious. But I cant say I was really impressed. They didnt really go into what your background was or what you did in the past. They didnt want to see coding examples. They just wanted to get though their questions. And I remember them taking hours and hours of the day every single time. It was VERY time consuming. The offers also were very stock heavy but not much else.

Later on, it dawned on me that the people that got the jobs out of my circle within university was the ones that “Studied” the questions. They are doing well for themselves, but I don’t think a single one lasted for more than 3 years, they all eventually got jobs in other companies. 2 got laid off on a single division, another guy got pulled by another company making android apps before they really took off.

Everyone who got the CS degree has done well honestly. But the ones that went to google never really stuck around.

At the end of the day, its just a job just like anything else.

sdf users seem to pop up with lots of self made content. Which is really awesome.

Not really. Most users on most platforms are just users. I give kudos to those instances that have unique names and < 10 users. Or to sdf, those users are awesome.

No problem. You did all the hard work! And it was a great video. I learned a bit :)

In many ways, open source started because of printers https://medium.com/curious-burrows/the-story-of-open-source-so-far-bfcb685d85a4

complaining (and doing something) is what started the whole thing.

Ive used this in the past to host an email server. Eventually, my ISP actually stopped allowing people to use mail ports, so I had to discontinue. But it worked very well when I used it many years ago.

https://github.com/nodrm/DeDRM_tools is just the first one that pops up. Theres a LOT of software out there that does this. I would recommend getting a copy as GitHub has been going after “grey” repos for a bit once they are discovered (see switch emulation and the many fan games).

Most of the time, I personally just avoid by going to publishers that dont lock down books. They make things much easier than Amazon.

Nice having your own library is the way to go!

I heavily depends on where you get them. Most ebook publishers actually DONT put DRM on them. And other software can very easily remove the DRM if it is on the books.

Most systems can read the ebook format. Linux/Mac/Windows often comes with software. And if they dont, Calibre can work them.

https://github.com/Quill-OS/quill is a thing, although you have to get the exact model in order to make it work.

I really wanted https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book to be a thing, but its very hard to get the parts and assemble (in my opinion).

https://gitlab.com/guyjeangilles/piereader looks promising.

Honestly, the biggest hurtle does NOT appear to be the hardware, its getting the ebook in an open format. If Amazon removes the ability to download the files, then it really doesn’t matter what you run, you cant read your book.

Theres other publishers that give you all the file types like: https://www.baen.com/. I recommend finding and supporting those.
