How the hell is that thing legal to sell??

I use calibre for my kindle, but kavita for web reading on any of my devices.

The calibre web server kept claiming its downloads to my device were corrupted and would just never open books. Kavita just sends the books page as a web page which gets rid of that particular issue

This might work with the original parts which would be shockingly nice, I have a few cheap Amazon servos on order to see if they might work

It would need some changes so it could be pulled to either side but that is the closest framework I’ve seen yet!

I love the idea, is there a way to do tap/click to turn the page instead of continuous though? I’ve been looking for something similar to host sheet music for myself but continuous mode is non-workable for my admittedly niche use case.

You know how Kim Jong Un starts making all sorts of nuclear threats and ignoring treaties every time he needs aid or just wants attention, just so he can extract concessions and ignore the new treaty next time he wants attention? That's what Trump is doing now.

And North Korea doesn’t look great so I guess we’d have to quibble over what you mean by working. If you only mean working to stroke Trump’s ego, then sure. If you mean it as in getting anything meaningful then no I still have to say it’s not working.

Fair point on the troops.

In regards to why the wouldn't do this before, they wouldn't do it before because it won't do shit to be frank. They have caved to the US via phone call, notably during Biden's administration in order to lighten the number of migrants reaching the border.

Trump's boots on the border crap looks good, but it won't solve the why people are trying to get in. To do that would require undoing decades of CIA meddling in Latin America, and frankly money to help fix the systemic issues that caused. I'll leave 6 quick links below on that history.

They’re only “folding” because they’re essentially being asked to do nothing or getting agreements they’ve wanted for ages, none of which required a trade war. In the article Mexico supposedly is getting help with weapons trafficked from the US to Mexico, something they’ve wanted for a while and the only thing they agreed to was to put some troops near the border. There’s no substantive mention of any work done towards the “trade deficit” Trump was yelling about.

So yeah it “worked” but only in areas we could have achieved with a friendly phone call without all the bullshit trump is doing. Anyone with enough of a brain to understand you can do those things without baseless threats could’ve done what Trump did faster and with less blowback.

well dang. The ones I linked are $35-55 a pop new and the organ I have would need roughly 73 of them lol. Barring a miracle find from someone I'm assuming the touch screen I've been using is there to stay.

 

I have a pet project I've been working on to modernize an electric organ console, and one of the final things needed are toggle switches. On a modern organ these are able to be manually toggled, or they can be flipped up/down programmatically using electromagnets (video). The ones purpose built for this are obscenely expensive but I can't find anything even remotely similar. Am I crazy for thinking this kind of switch are used in more things than just organs?

Susan Balfour, 63, was incarcerated for 33 years at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility until her release in December 2021. Balfour said she was among a group of prisoners asked to clean the facility without protective equipment.

She was later diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, a condition that prison health care providers failed to identify years ago because they could save money by not performing necessary medical screenings and treatment, according to the lawsuit Balfour filed in the U.S. Southern District of Mississippi.

Balfour’s attorneys and Gibbs say over 10 other Mississippi inmates have come down with cancer or become seriously ill after they were exposed to chemicals while on work assignments.

Cleaning supplies are often caustic, this just seems like incredibly unnecessary cruelty. They also waited till the very end of the article to mention the prison doctors did think she needed a test for cancer years prior and the medical groups just refused to send her to get the test.

Balfour sued three companies contracted to provide health care to prisoners at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility. The companies delayed or failed to schedule follow-up cancer screenings for Balfour even though they had been recommended by prison physicians, the lawsuit says.

Then do so and we’ll post the link to their story here when we see it.

They look almost identical!

 
 

Independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr has posted a video on social media in which he admits that he dumped a dead bear cub in New York City's Central Park in 2014.

The clip, posted to his X account on Sunday, shows him with controversial US comedian Roseanne Barr as he describes bizarre circumstances that led to an incident that mystified New Yorkers 10 years ago. Mr Kennedy said a woman had hit and killed the bear with her car when he was driving behind her outside of the city, and he put it in his van with the intention of skinning the animal and harvesting its meat.

It appears he shared the anecdote to get ahead of an upcoming story in The New Yorker magazine.

The Kennedy campaign and the New Yorker did not respond to requests for comment. Seated with rolled-up sleeves at a table covered with food, Mr Kennedy tells Ms Barr in the video that he was driving to meet a group of people to go falconing near Goshen, New York, 10 years ago when the bear was killed. He says he pulled over to put the bear in his vehicle.

"I was going to skin the bear - and it was in very good condition - and I was going to put the meat in my refrigerator," he says. "And you can do that in New York state: Get a bear tag for a roadkill bear."

New York state does allow people to take bears killed on roads, but the law stipulates that a person has to notify law enforcement or the state's Department of Environmental Conservation to acquire such a tag. Mr Kennedy does not appear to have done that.

Instead, he says he continued to his falconing venture, which went late into the evening. He says he went on to a dinner reservation he had at Peter Luger Steakhouse in New York City, about 75 miles (121km) south of Goshen. "At the end of the dinner, it was late and I realised I couldn't go home," Mr Kennedy says. "I had to go to the airport, and the bear was in my car, and I didn't want to leave the bear in my car because that would have been bad."

That is when, he says, it occurred to him that there had been a series of bicycle accidents in New York and that he had an old bicycle in his car.

He tells Ms Barr that he had the idea of staging a bike accident with the bear carcass in Central Park, which several drunk people with him heartily endorsed. He emphasises that he had not been drinking.

"So we did that and we thought it would be amusing for whoever found it or something," he says. "The next day... it was on every television station. It was a front page of every paper and I turned on the TV and there was like a mile of yellow tape and 20 cop cars, there were helicopters flying, and I was like, 'Oh my god. What did I do?'"

 

I'm trying to set up rules so I can access a few different containers from zerotier. I've already set up an ssh-x11 container and the passthrough is working fine with:

rdr on $ext_zero proto tcp from any to $ext_zero port 8000 -> 10.1.1.3 port 22

where $ext_zero is the variable for the zerotier bridge.

However, trying to stream music with jellyfin with:

rdr on $ext_zero proto tcp from any to $ext_zero port 8096 -> 10.1.1.6 port 8096

I get consistent connection refused messages.

The full pf.conf for redirections: Code:

table <jails> persist
nat on $ext_if from <jails> to any -> ($ext_if:0)
rdr-anchor "rdr/*"
rdr on $ext_zero proto tcp from any to $ext_zero port 8000 -> 10.1.1.3 port 22
rdr on $ext_zero proto tcp from any to $ext_zero port 8096 -> 10.1.1.6 port 8096
rdr on $ext_zero proto tcp from any to $ext_zero port 8920 -> 10.1.1.6 port 8920
rdr on $ext_zero proto udp from any to $ext_zero port 1900 -> 10.1.1.6 port 1900
rdr on $ext_zero proto udp from any to $ext_zero port 7359 -> 10.1.1.6 port 7359

The system is FreeBSD, the jails are roughly equivalent to a docker compose install.

Jellyfin is set to accept remote connections, with the whitelist left blank as per their instructions to allow all addresses. Why will ssh connect but not jellyfin?>>
