Love the outside the box thinking though. Really inspirational!

I would totally do that. Only problem is that the third yacht really is my favourite, so I'm gonna pass if that's okay. Thanks!

The star, of course, being the almost universally accepted sign for "entrance" in braille++. Or "exit" in certain dialects, conveniently.

... and enhanced by a sentence or two why it is worthwhile. Getting really tired of the no-effort link drops around here. Better yet, the same no-effort link drop to multiple similar communities on various instances.

Is there a block function for link-only posts?

Are there filters to prevent seeing duplicate content?

But boy, if he does...

I recommend installing calibre web on a home server, installing koreader on the Kobo, and accessing your eBook library over your WiFi and OPDS.

Koreader is such a good reading experience, I never want to go back to stock firmware (well, except for the dictionaries maybe, those are better.)

I have done a similar thing in the past, but to flash firmware onto any device with a certain USB descriptor that gets plugged in. It was a mess of USB hubs and cables, but it worked.

What I did was write a udev rule that checks for the vendor and product id of a newly plugged in device and calls a script when there's a match. The script then performs the flashing and logs the output.

In your case:

  1. dd the source USB to a file (make sure the partition you're dding is smalled than any target drive
  2. Udev rule according to your needs (all the same product or different drives?)
  3. Script that dds the file you created earlier back to the newly plugged in drive.

Edit. Did this on a rpi3

Lay the page order out in Excel (might be a nice puzzle in itself), concatenate into a single comma separated string, and feed that into the "what pages to print" print dialog field?

This looks promising, but I can't get it to work.

Wireguard, even though they explicitly mention it in their tutorials, doesn't have an allow/block list for me, so I can't allow the proxy network bridge. Curious those settings are gone. Too bad!

Thanks, but not an option.

I agree, it's a good solution. Just not worth the downsides for my situation currently.
