E-Reader recommendations (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de to c/books@lemmy.ml

Hi,

My Kindle won't boot anymore and keeps getting stuck in boot screen, so I thought this might be a good time to get away from Amazon, even though that device was great.

So, what non-kindle readers would you recommend?

It should have color and background light and it shouldn't be huge so I can keep it in the back pocket.

And, since I don't have any experience outside the Amazon ecosystem: how is the experience of buying and transferring books to non Kindle readers?

Update: I did research based on your recommendations. Thanks for all the input, that was way more than I expected! I settled for the Kobo Clara Color since it seemed to almost perfectly match my needs and Kobo and the model itself got heavily recommended here and on the web.

Hi folks,

I got a new Xbox Series X Controller (Model 1914). I had Xbox One controller before.

With xpadneo installed I had basically no problems running my xbox one controller. It connected via BT with no issues and workes in games really well wired and wireless.

The new controller on the other hand, works really well via cable, but does not connect via BT. I can find it, I can pair it, but I cannot connect to it.

xpadneo readme says Series X needs a BT stick with BLE so I bought one, but that did not solve the problem (I'm not sure if BLE needs to be activated or how to do it rn).

Found some very special "make it look hacky" bash in criminal minds.

Well, the cheese in Mac and cheese usually isn't cheese either, tbf.

Every shooter that allows custom maps from the late 90s and early 00s has a map resembling Columbine. If your reason to not make a game is because someone might turn it into something horrible, there would probably be no games.

For now. Maybe. But look at Prime Video, that offered services for Amazon Prime Customers. Then put stuff behind paid "channels". Then started adding Ads to the start of a movie or episode. And it will water it down even further. Or Spotify that had ads every few songs. Then 2 ads. Then 2 very long ads. Then more ad breaks. Then You bought premium because the ads got more and more annoying. Now you are ad free. Except all the banners. Except the paid promoted Releases that get pushed in all the popular Playlists. Except ads during podcasts. Except "AI shuffle" that mixes in promoted songs.

The same will happen to YT Premium. Bit by bit ads will be smuggled in. I mean.. right now they promote "Premium light" after (what I've found for European prices) raising prices for premium and family tiers.

But it acts as a Login for the page instead of registering a new account? How would Google do that without the page owners permission?!

Why is my tmux borked? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I've been trying tmux and followed a video that showcases and offers a prebuilt config for styling and plugins. Something happended (guess I did something wrong?) the styling broke and I decided I'll go bare bones and customize to my needs when needed instead of using preconfigured stuff. I deleted all configs and caches I could find with fzf and even reinstalled tmux, but still some broken styling is present and makes it unpleasent to work with. Some of my configs seem to be present even after uninstall, as the prefix is still C-Space instead of the default. There are some oh-my-zsh subfolders that contain tmux. I don't know if those have been there before and I also don't know, if I can delete them without breaking the next thing.

I'm on a MacBook and installed tmux via brew.

Two piles of the same bullshit.

Because the number one question on literally any Linux related tech question is: "What are your specs?" And a neofetch covers big parts of that.

betrachten einige Organisationen wie Behörden das Faxen weiterhin als sichere Methode zur Übertragung von vertraulichen Dokumenten, da die Übertragung einfach direkt von einem Gerät zum anderen erfolgt

Das spricht wirklich erschreckende Bände über das allgemeine Verständnis von "Sicherer Kommunikation".

Hi,

I'm in the weird spot again, where I want to update my Tumbleweed system and am lost in a dependency hell. It more or less occurs once in a while when updates drop and the prompt asks if I want to install stuff from vendor "obs://build.opensuse.org/home:wolfi323" replacing the obsolete stuff from the official openSUSE vendor.

As soon as I read wolfi323, I get fucking Vietnam flashbacks, because it means I will have to decide for ~100 services if I keep the current obsolote version or install the one from wolfi323. Either way, it's gonna fuck up a myriad of dependencies.

All that hassle just to do the same shit all over again because at some point, the official opensuse repos catch up with newer versions.

I could probably wait for the official updates, but it's uncertain, when they are going to drop and I'll just pile up thousands of updates in the meantime.

How do the Tumbleweed Folks among us deal with this?

[-] xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 year ago

You're right. Giving 30% for really fucking good platform services is way worse than having to find a publisher that takes in 70 to 90% of revenue and pushes devs to release unfinished games.

Hello, I just startet up my PC and Latte-Dock seems to be gone, not only my local installation, but also the package from zypper. Does someone know whats happening here?

[-] xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de 71 points 1 year ago

I need the colored one as a sticker to cover that weird square thingy on my super keys.

I just noticed, that my SSD is almost full and I think it is because of all the zypper packages I got installed. I've got another ~100gb SSD thats just for stuff (mounted unter "Misc" says it all) and would like to move some (or all?) of the packages like vscode, podman or other stuff on that second SSD. Is there a way to do that with zypper without removing and installing them again under the new path?
