Do we have a source for this or are you just joking?

I use yyyy-mm-dd as it allows me to alphabetically sort it and still get it in proper order

Actually good for the developer. He is doing it out of his passion and faith in OSS. What more should we want of him? The dude is already a hero.

Fellow bookworms, I am glad to announce that I am at the last book of Cosmere (Yumi and the Nightmare Painter). And then, I will have finished it all. So this is where I need your help. Recommend me some awesome Sci-fi and Fantasy books that you believe will blow away my mind, like the impact needs to be huge, cannot believe this happened type of stuff. Preferred genre are Sci-fi and Fantasy, but if you know some awesome book from other genre, don't hold back, all suggestions are welcome.

Thank you in advance.

UPDATE: Piranesi is currently on lead and I am almost finished with Yumi, so that is the next on my list. But don't let that stop the recommendations coming. Eventually all of us are going to run out of recommendations ;)

I just distro hopped after using a distro almost a year. Is it normal? (lemm.ee)

Hi, I just want to share / get some opinion.

I started using Linux 2 years back. I was dual booting back then and after a year switched to Linux completely.

I started out using Ubuntu, hated it, installed Manjaro after a week and when pacmac broke the thing within 2 months, I watched a bunch of YouTube videos, read the arch wiki and installed arch. Things were going great except for some Nvidia issues (I am using an Optimus laptop) but utt was running smoothly. Then decided that I want to build a game engine and the nvidia issues were significant. So I read somewhere that Fedora has great nvidia support and I installed it and everything worked. I installed Fedora 39, and it worked. When Fedora 40 came, I upgraded no issues, Fedora 41 came, no issues.

But just a few days back when I had vacation, I decided my system was getting bloated and I didn't manually want to uninstall apps, I decided let's format it. But I thought... Arch might take up less space on my disk(1 have a 512gb nvme, and t 2tb hdd, but I like to put things like games and projects I am working on, on the nvme). So I installed arch and loving the experience. I installed Nvidia-open drm drivers and it just works.

TLDR: Is it normal to distro hop after being using a distro perfectly for so long?

PS: I used archinstall because I didn't want through the lengthy process again. And archinstall works great.

I didn't know that. And I wasn't supporting the doxxing. I want assert how absurd the condition is here out here. If anybody interpreted it differently, I am sorry.

It ain't really doxxing though. I personally know 3 people with name Yash Gupta. There are soooooo many people out here man. And worse of all, these CEOs will get away with it because people are ready to code for 20k Indian rupees, (around 250 dollars) a month. It's crazy out here.

Ebooks library (cross platform) (lemm.ee)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/36285077

I have many ebooks I have from scouring the Internet in two formats: epub and PDF. I want something server like that lets me drop read them from any device on my local network and remembers where I left the book on device and let's me continue on another. I want the client app to have android and Linux support while the server should run on linux. Is there anything out there? Bonus points if it autographs metadata from the internet and organises them by topics, authors, ddc etc.

TLDR: An ebook library running on a Linux server with Android and Linux client software.

It's because we can to an extreme. Extremely lightweight distro. Very nice in containers and vms. One of the most loved ones out there.
