I didn't think that you were. I was criticising Notepad as a really shitty "editor".

I personally set tabs to 2 spaces, but then thats the beauty of tabs over spaces. You can have two or four, or even eight if you hate yourself without impacting anyone else.

People who demand spaces are Republicans, they want to force their 2/4/8 space rule on you even if it is inconsequential.

This is factually incorrect.

They can sell it for whatever price they want on other platforms.

What they can't do is sell the freely generated Steam keys on other stores for less than the cost of selling them on Steam.

So they cannot put a game on Steam, then generate 100 free keys and put them on Greenman Games for 30% less than Steam. They can definitely put it on Epic for 30% less and let Epic pay the hosting and distribution.

What on earth games are you trying to play that are less resource intensive than the Steam Client?

I have old laptops that can run it without seeing any impact.

Its funny that the argument against tabs is purely because someone once opened a file in a shitty editor.

I read that as Jig-antic. I would have to turn it into jygantik for it to sound the same.

If Canonical folded, someone else could come along and reinvent everything on the server side. And that makes it Open Source?

Explain how this distinction matters in the real world?

Snap distribution is as much a part of snaps as Snapd.

Who cares that part of it is open source if other parts aren't?

My headphones have a USB c port and connects at USB 2 speeds.

Does the Series S support USB controllers? Could you not use one of those knock off USB PS controllers?

Oh gotcha. You mean before it went Dual Shock 3? Sorry I thought you were referring to the multiple iterations the PS1 had.

Advantage over Dual Shock 2 was that it was wireless, and I do appreciate that, but I completely agree that PlayStation layout is great.

I do like the Dual Shock 4 when on the computer, as the little touchpad on the front helps with SteamOS when dealing with shitty interfaces for 3rd Party Launchers that demand a mouse and keyboard.

If I didn't encounter them occasionally then Dual Shock 3 all the way as I dont normally need any of the other "features".

I'm not sure what you are referring to here. The Dual Shock 2 was the standard PS2 controller throughout its lifetime.

Do you mean the OG PlayStation, which had the standard controller, then the dual analogue stick, and finally the Dual Shock with the two analogue sticks plus rumble?

I liked the analogue sticks, loved Katamari. Rumble didn't add enough.

Plex for books? (feddit.uk)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by frazorth@feddit.uk to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I've picked up an eink Android tablet, which is awesome. However I have plenty of ebooks I've purchased over the years on places such as Humble, and I was wondering whether there was a self hosted solution like Plex/Emby/Jellyfin but designed for ebooks.

I've seen Calibre but it doesn't seem to be quite the same thing, and running a sync is a bit clunky for the spouse factor.

Is there anything that would index the books, show a bookshelf and allow me to read them, with offline support?

Preferably with an Android app for reading with, and the reader handling eink rather than scrolling.
