I still remember years ago one time windows fucked itself and god knows why I couldn’t fix it even with USB recovery or stuff like that (long time ago, I don’t remember).

Since I couldn’t boot into recovery mode the easiest way to backup my stuff to a connected external drive was “open notepad from the command line -> use the GUI send to… command to send the files to the external drive -> wait and profit” lol.

As an academic, yes, please pirate stuff.

Fuck parasites publishers that make profit on our unpaid job and gatekeep knowledge.

A nice read about publishers profits: Against Parasite Publishers: Making Journals Free or if someone prefer the newspaper format

Yep this is what I meant, thanks for saying it in a proper way :)

I am currently using Mealie with docker, which being a containers noob seemed easier to setup compared to Tandoor. I have it behind tailscale as well.

Mealie works well for what I need to do, I don’t plan in advance yet, but I just import recipes and it works 9 out 10. I will need to try the shopping list features sooner or later.

There is no mobile app that I am aware of but the webpage works perfectly on mobile with a bookmark.

Off-topic, but for someone who recently switch to hhkb layout, I find it way more comfortable to activate shortcuts with caps-lock (Ctrl in hhkb) pinky rather than with regular command.

Thanks! Definitely helps and I am happy to see how people are approaching the problem. It seems indeed an automated/selfhosted solution is not always the best in this case. I will also check out Kotatsu, didn’t know about that :)

Thanks! I am open to try both selfhosted and local solutions, let’s see how they work out :) Definitely going to check mihon which was recommended by someone else too, seems like a pretty easy solution (and thanks for the tips about the kindle).

Hmmm I see this on my free account and my api hits for sure were reset after 24 hours. Although I never downloaded something from them, so I am not sure about downloads.

I think they are capped to like 3 downloads per day
