Im on the fedi doin fedi things.
In theory one day its going to be too much for our current bandwidth. We are no where near that even with single user instances.
There are ways of making things much more efficient. Piefed for example bundles up votes so the API doesn’t get hit with millions of upvotes all separately. Peertube has P2P video sharing so the more people host/view videos, it actually gets faster. Theres a ton of others. But it sounds like a future issue.
Thats the idea! You just have to get them off the store and download them somehow.
Calibre is what I would take a look at. There is a web version that has a couple of different setups. for docker this looks interesting:
https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web
Ive also used yunohost (mostly for ease of use and backups) here: https://apps.yunohost.org/app/calibreweb
Its basically the same thing either way.
am I right in understanding that I can host my library of ebooks on my home server then point a client at that server so I have access to my full library without having to save the books locally on device?
Some do this and some dont. I personally find ebooks to be so small that it doesnt matter, but some people use the server client to keep track of where they were at on certain books, helpwith their large collection, share with others of the family, etc…etc… And I think books with pictures such as manga, magazines, or other such take up more room so it might make sense if you have a lot of those.
I personally like having the system auto-update my device with new books and convert into nice to read formats for my custom devices. It works out really well.
A long time ago, I was in an apartment that had a bike trail with only one road crossing it at one point.
I could get to work, get groceries, and a couple of other things all from my bike. It was an awesome 2 years. I would put on my headphones and in 10 minutes get to where I wanted to go without any of the issues car drivers have.
Im jealous of people that have that but for their entire city.
I had no idea this was a thing. Interesting. I can see from liability why this is not something they dont want to touch, being a general purpose instance.
I think lemmy/fediverse needs a place where if you try and subscribe to something blocked, you get a post/page explaining why they did the thing. Its going to confuse new users otherwise.
Oh nice thanks!
How interesting. Ive never seen this before.
calibre is pretty great. I also have a kobo and its the reason I can load/convert a lot of what I read.
So realistically, what can we do? Where are the best places to move to?
Excellent!
Im already a member over there :) Looking for more chat based stuff I guess.

Lol they will just remove ai and call it win 12. Coworkers of mine were joking the best windows will be the linux kernel with windows on top. Inverse wsl.
Their stock seems to be doing a bit of a freefall lately:
Its still pretty high compared to just 5 years ago. But investors look to leverage future positions. So its interesting its going down at such a quick rate.
I usr it every day its great.
