Same as I do for music. I use Calibre and do a lot of manual organization. My tree looks like this:

    Dark Tower, The - 01 - Gunslinger, The.epub

Of course, most of my books are fiction so I don’t use genres, but now I’m rethinking that lol.

A divided Canada is a weakened Canada, which benefits the Trump admin. It’s not about actually separating, never has been. It’s about division.

If you find it does that, like:

Album1 7/12 tracks

Album2 1/15 tracks

Album3 4/21 tracks

I just click and drag Album2 and Album3 into Album1

Excellent thank you

This was really interesting, thanks. Something I’ll keep in mind for sure, but I did set it up with crontab -e so maybe I’m all good. Gonna play around with it some more over the next few days, there’s so much to learn. Linux is amazing

I see. I’m the only user and the .castgetrc file that I edit for the RSS feeds is located in home. The castget command works in terminal when I type it, but it may not if cron does it? Would that be because cron installs as root? I’m on Cachyos and had to install cronie as cron wasn’t preinstalled. If it doesn’t work I’ll try your suggestion.

I know -u is for user, what is -n – in this case?

I’ll keep that in mind thanks. Haven’t dipped my toes into scripts and things yet but this just opened up a world of possibilities lol

Got it. My system is always on so that’s no issue. Appreciate the help.

Huh. That’s shockingly simple.

I’m looking at cron. I just made a cronjob:

0 6 * * * castget -c

Is that it to run every day at 6am?

This seems way more straight forward than i remember lol. I’m on Cachy, which apparently doesn’t have cron out of the box. Just installed cronie, ran crontab -e, and if I enter:

0 6 * * * * castget -c

(with spaces between 0 6 * etc?) that’s it? It’ll run every day at 6am?

Great, thank you. I heard about cron jobs when I first switched to Linux but got overwhelmed. Appreciate the link.

It’s back, covering the PWHL!

Signal is about privacy, it’s never been about anonymity. The purpose is to encrypt your communication, not hide who you are.

A lot of these types use ‘perfect being the enemy of good’ as their attack vector. If it’s not private and anonymous why bother? If you can’t cut out all big tech companies, if you can’t stop buying any American goods, if you can’t feed all the poor or house all the homeless, etc. It’s an effective way to attack progression by making people believe they should just stop fighting, they’ll never win. You nailed it, Signal is private, it doesn’t claim to be anything else.

Same here! I’ve been moving away from all-in-one tech to devices that only do one thing and do it well, usually with wires lol. Wired headphones in a DAP (Hi-Fi Walker) that I also plug into the car, old Sony e-reader that still holds a battery charge for a month, analogue watches, disconnected TVs, pen and paper notebooks, etc. I plug in when I can and avoid bluetooth.

It’s interesting, I’ve since changed my behaviour from buying the flashiest, coolest-looking items to focus on how well they work over how they look. Function over form. Sure, my things are less flashy and uglier, but I see a real charm to them now. It’s also driven me to retro-tech and loving using things that get worn looking and used.

First I’m hearing of it, I’ll give it a look. Thanks!

Good list. Just wanted to add a thought about search engines as well. I’ve been using Kagi (it’s a paid service) which has the option to customize searches to pin, raise, lower, or block sites. I have most of the post media sites blocked (as well as a lot of US media sites) and sites like thetyee, cbc, france24, etc set to raise to the top. No ads, ai turned off, search is a pleasant experience now.

Edit to add: it is American unfortunately, but it’s the best search engine I’ve found. I’ve been operating under the adage “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” so after cutting ties with the vast majority of US companies, there are still a couple I send money to, like Kagi and Signal.

Never heard of Droidian, but I’ve been loooking into the status of Linux phones lately. Mind giving a run down of your experience with it?

I’d guess because Motorola has partnered with Graphene OS to release a phone with Graphene as the os.
