The latest announcements regarding windows also brings me to the linux route again.

While I use it in the home environment I still have some software that must work. I will test drive on an older laptop first and will see how far it goes.

For server / network I already use linux a lot, for desktop I am still not conviced, yet.

Ignore delete is a folder feature that you can set on the receiving folder.

Syncthing.

App on the phone and host on the server.

It started with typing in BASIC code out of magazines. Used an Apple II those days. I missed the step going into pascal, C etc and stuck with basic syntax more or less my whole life. Not spagetti code anymore but still some BASIC derivates. B4X is what I use on Android now to create native APK.

Also I love IDEs with an integrated graphical interface designer. VB6 was my thing.

Over the years I used assembler, sql, bash also but always as tools to get my hardware to do what I need. The software I wrote was/is for my own convenience at work and in private. Written for PC and Android.

I tried to go commercial one time but the lawyer I talked to shattered my dreams because of insurance requirements when you write software used in peoples air transport business. If something goes wrong you really have a problem.

My Android software uses databases filled with scraped data so can't make them official as well. The royalty fees to pay if I try the official route kills every attempt before starting.

So it's still a hobby, very satisfying but not more.

Edit: scraped not scrapped , LoL

It is!

So since the LXC route is promoted here take a look into these Helper Scripts they make the use of LXC very easy.

That said you could still adjust parameters afterwards and when you feel comfortable with.

I know and wrote for both of them.

Jeez I am old.

.....who wrote code without stack overflow

Calibre Server to host.

KOreader to install on my favorite reader and direct connect to calibre.

Pocketbook as my favorite reader.

This is a repost from my suggestion some weeks ago:

I went for the ASRock J5040 board, 16gb ram a 500gb m.2 as system using a PCI adapter , 2x4tb ironwolf as ZFS mirror pool, 350 W power supply all in the node 304 fractal case for 550 euro alltogether.

Runs proxmox as hypervisor for VM or Container. 6 LXC running motioneye, plex, pyload with openvpn, syncthing, rclone cloud backup and openbookshelf.

Typical power usage is around 20W

That said it could also run on PicoPSU

Jep, low carb, no added sugars.

Select food that keeps the blood sugar from going nuts.

Not yet. All of the LXC containers run on 2 cores of the 4 and 2gb of RAM and 512MB swap where reserved. I can address more power if needed.

As none of my services run constant on full power the low power of the CPU is not a problem. I serve only my home with it.

We (3) use Touch HD 3 since several years now. As an upgrade (larger screen and side holding) we just ordered one Era in silver (16gb).

I started with a pocketbook 360, a 5 inch side holding reader. It is nice to see that they go back to another side holder version again, the 360 was, because of this, my favourite.

I use a pocketbook since years now.

• crisp display
• eats every format you throw at it
• also bluetooth on board for listening to audiobooks or music. Means no mobile necesarry when going to the beach
• water resistant models, read in the bathtube
• send to pocketbook to receive ebooks via mail
• KOReader compatible with calibre to connect to your selfhosted server
• connection to onleihe or libby

After all thats Reddi.... oh wait,. ....... never mind
