How do you reconcile the Kobo wanting to sync reading position every time you turn it on? Or is that not a problem with your workflow?

I have issues in my own app and some other containers where the kobo is slow to upload reading stats, so every time my kobo wakes up, it throws up a dialog asking if I want to skip to my latest reading position. If I pick yes, it dumps me back 10-20 pages.

It’s easy enough to say no but it’s so annoying to have a delayed dialog every time I wake the thing up.

I count 9 em dashes in this slop post.

The number of times I have had this phone conversation is greater than 3:

“I accidentally clicked something on Facebook and now my computer is playing a loud noise and I can’t do anything and it says not to turn off my computer or all my data will be lost.”

“Restart your computer”

“But it says not to!”

“It’s a virus that just took over your computer. Why would you do what it told you?”

“I don’t want to lose all my files!”

“You don’t have any files on that computer and it doesn’t matter. Just restart.”

(Back and forth a few times)

“Oh, I just restarted and everything is back to normal. Never mind!”

I ended up at the same. Desktop PC with a lotta hard drives in it and big fans that don’t have to spin fast and make a lot of noise.

Bonus points that it’s consumer desktop hardware and not server grade shit so if something needs replacing there’s usually a cheap replacement available.

Did you write an app or is it running via a Claude routine?

And the fridge is just a hair too tall to slide under the vent hood, so you can’t even go around it.

There’s so many things that are mildly infuriating here. And taken all together…. Still mildly infuriating.

Quality post. I’m gonna kick back and be grateful I don’t have any appliances to move in my near future.

Here I just assumed all online IQ tests always vastly inflated the results to make their idiot users feel smart and hand over money for the certificate or whatever.

That was a lot of words to say “I couldn’t get it to work.”

Set up a job to write the file names of everything in your file system to a text file and make sure that text file gets backed up. I did that on my Unraid server for years in lieu of fully backing up the whole array.

This is a good compromise. When I was tight on backup space, I just had a “backup” script that ran nightly and wrote all the media file names to a text file and pushed that to my backup.

It would mean tons of redownloading if my storage array failed, but it was preferable to spending hundreds of dollars I didn’t have on new hardware.

Holy shit, this has every cert I’ve ever generated or renewed since 2015.

Well that was fun! I’m confident this project isn’t malicious. It’s for sure coded using AI, and I think that’s what triggered a smear campaign. This removed Reddit post looks like there is just a downvote brigade out to get the project because the author admitted to using AI.

The only network traffic it’s made when I monitored it was local. Certainly nothing went to Asia.

I think it tries to solve a neat problem. There’s so many features packed in that it’s obviously vibe coded. That’s probably a huge turn off for AI detractors. If you don’t care about that, I think you’re safe to give it a try.

Ok, so I ran the repo through an LLM to look for any suspicious requests, and it came back clean.

But it’s hella suspicious that the repo owner edited away the issue and closed it without a response.

It’s also hella suspicious that the user that reported that issue created their account yesterday.

I think I need to go the nuclear option: pop a gummy and monitor the network traffic of the container and see what it’s doing.

Ohh that’s suspicious. I’m going to kill mine for now and take a look later tonight. I’ll report back if I find anything interesting!

I think the author literally released it like 2 days ago which is why there’s no issues or prs yet.

I installed it yesterday and have only fiddled around a little bit. I like that it pointed out a bunch of health issues with my Lidarr library and have been stuck on a side quest dealing with those.

If you want to explore it and see if anything seems malicious to you, I’d focus on code making requests, and review the sub-dependencies to see if any look sus. It should live entirely in your network and shouldn’t be making any external requests outside your server apart from the connections you set up (like last.fm).

What exactly is the point of this comment?
