• E-books from library via Overdrive / Libby. Has anyone managed to find a way to get them onto a kindle?

  If you install the DeDRM plugin from Apprentice Alf, you can pull books from Adobe Digital Editions into Calibre (once they're checked out into ADE) and it strips the DRM off them as it imports. Then you can return the book from ADE and it checks back into the library. Source: over 1 year ago

• What is your current EDC?

  I am a big time overpacker, at least until I go on a trip and hurt my ankle and then scale back. This loadout in my camera backpack is on the overpacked side https://mastodon.social/@UP8/111091984601991594 since I can't make up my mind if I want a manual focus 50mm that opens to 0.95 or if I want to do sports, birds, and a little bit of macro work with a 100-400mm zoom, or shoot stereograms, or play with a... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

I've been experimenting these last few months with interesting generating... - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• Apple's Silicon Fab Next to Homes

  I cannot tell if you are joking or not.

  >I'm not optimistic about non tech people easily logging into mastodon.192.168.555.2.xproxy.remoteinstance2452456a1.mirror.com. Why are you trolling? Mastodon instances have normal URLs like https://mastodon.social, and you can just log in there like any other site. And there's a ton of "non-tech" people on Mastodon.. In fact the people who seem whine the most about how hard it is are the "techies" on HN. It's weird. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago
