I’ve been trying out Kavita as an ebook software, and I really like it so far, with one exception. Accounts are all local to the app, and there is no ability handle user accounts through their site, similar to how Plex does it. This means that every time I screw up and have to set up again over the years, my users will have to...
It’s not as slick looking but take a look at Ubooquity. I have it on my Linux server and haven’t had any issues. Granted I mostly use it for sharing ebook files, not reading them on the server itself so it might not be what you’re looking for
I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....
Proprietary software I use on a regular basis with no Linux alternative:
Revit, AutoCAD, Houdini, 3dsMAX, SolidWorks, Rhino, Grasshopper, Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign (and/or their Affinity alternatives), CUDA optimized simulation and rendering plugins, etc.
I use at least one of these every day, almost none of them have any functioning compatibility with Wine or other emulation. Even just using Affinity has caused some issues with team projects when someone picks up where I left off and there’s no layer information and a ton of clipping groups instead.
If all you do with your computer is program, work with documents, use a web browser, and play video games sure go wild don’t use Windows on any of your machines. But I just don’t understand how some people in the FOSS community cannot fathom that there are entire professional workflows and industries that just have zero possibility of moving to Linux.
Do I like using Windows? No. But I do like being able to use all the programs my work and research requires.
I contribute actual, tangible research into FOSS CAD/CAM/BIM software development and implementation. I love it and want to see FOSS options grow and become widely adopted. But it just isn’t anywhere close to having feature parity. And that matters, just as much as industry interoperability matters.
I’m just so tired of this thought process in the community that the only reason someone isn’t using Linux/FOSS is because they’re some fanboy or something
The common standard for audiobooks isn’t FLAC or WAV, it’s chapter track MP3 or chapterized M4B. The vast majority of audiobooks are encoded at 64 or 128 kbps. I wish the minimum was 128kbps but that’s where the audiobooks community has been for like a decade now.
Centralized User Management Like Plex for eBook Server

What is this growth on fallen tree branches? (lemmy.world)
I went for a walk in the woods and found multiple fallen branches with this fairly long growth on them....
What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

so this might be a little embarrassing, but how do I create a torrent and upload to a tracker?
I’ve been seeding the torrents that I download since the old days of Limewire, but I’ve always download and re-shared by seeding....
