I’m sure this is a big, professional, intelligence operation, but I still can’t help but think it’s just a LAN party.

There’s so much bullshit out there about this “problem”. They’re mostly crap.

The one thing I found works well is to stop the eggs into an ice water bath and let them cool for at least 10 minutes before peeling. They really seem to hold together quite well almost all the time.

But nothings guaranteed. I remember some chef on Reddit years ago said you can be as good at peeling eggs as anybody - they aren’t all going to peel cleanly. That’s why when they are peeling tons of eggs in a restaurant (for deviled eggs or any dish where appearance matters), the rejects go into the bowl for making egg salad later.

IMO Bosch is the only company in the world that makes dishwashers.

My parents have a Miele that works really well, but I’m not a fan of the racks and the way they designed the tines - nothing seems to load efficiently.

Bosch Bosch Bosch.

I’d add on: depends if it’s emotional.

Sometimes people gotta process things and telling their story is what they actually needed.

Sometimes they’re giving me directions to the post office, and I can happily cut that shit short without anyone getting offended.

I think any purely manual, highly repetitive job would kill me. Like assembly line work.

I worked as a dishwasher in a small restaurant as a teenager. Those 2 4-hour shifts felt like they lasted DAYS.

For a guy that’s always crowing about making deals, he sure seems unhappy about people making deals.

It’s 2026 in the worst timeline. You don’t ask that anymore. You ask if any entity faced consequences for doing it.

They should rename it Orangeland.

I did a sewage treatment plant tour in my high school biology class. At the end of the second stage filtration, the worker pointed at how it discharges into the ocean.

“So at this point, the water has been treated enough that it’s safe to drink”

We all scrunched our faces at that. Then he added

“But I wouldn’t”

Is that before or after Kupiansk?

Aches and pains. New medications they’re on. How things were so much easier when they were younger.

The same conversation that happens everywhere when the people have been around for a while.

This is a good compromise. When I was tight on backup space, I just had a “backup” script that ran nightly and wrote all the media file names to a text file and pushed that to my backup.

It would mean tons of redownloading if my storage array failed, but it was preferable to spending hundreds of dollars I didn’t have on new hardware.

Holy shit, this has every cert I’ve ever generated or renewed since 2015.

Share your memories, receive a studio-quality custom song with vocals in minutes.

This is the high level pitch and is exactly why this product misses the point.

Creating a song or art or playlist for someone requires time. It’s the personal effort that makes it valuable. Spending a minute filling out a form before an algorithm generates a song is neither thoughtful, personal, nor meaningful.

A hand written card is better than a typed letter is better than an email is better than an emoji. GiftSong is the emoji.

If someone sent me this I would be insulted and wouldn’t even listen to the end once. I would never spent my money or time trying to be a user of something like this.

Well that was fun! I’m confident this project isn’t malicious. It’s for sure coded using AI, and I think that’s what triggered a smear campaign. This removed Reddit post looks like there is just a downvote brigade out to get the project because the author admitted to using AI.

The only network traffic it’s made when I monitored it was local. Certainly nothing went to Asia.

I think it tries to solve a neat problem. There’s so many features packed in that it’s obviously vibe coded. That’s probably a huge turn off for AI detractors. If you don’t care about that, I think you’re safe to give it a try.

Ok, so I ran the repo through an LLM to look for any suspicious requests, and it came back clean.

But it’s hella suspicious that the repo owner edited away the issue and closed it without a response.

It’s also hella suspicious that the user that reported that issue created their account yesterday.

I think I need to go the nuclear option: pop a gummy and monitor the network traffic of the container and see what it’s doing.

Ohh that’s suspicious. I’m going to kill mine for now and take a look later tonight. I’ll report back if I find anything interesting!

I think the author literally released it like 2 days ago which is why there’s no issues or prs yet.

I installed it yesterday and have only fiddled around a little bit. I like that it pointed out a bunch of health issues with my Lidarr library and have been stuck on a side quest dealing with those.

If you want to explore it and see if anything seems malicious to you, I’d focus on code making requests, and review the sub-dependencies to see if any look sus. It should live entirely in your network and shouldn’t be making any external requests outside your server apart from the connections you set up (like last.fm).

Could you have a setting turned on that auto jumps to your last saved page as stored by some server?

On mine, when wifi is on and I wake up the Kobo, it’ll show a dialog asking if I want to jump to my last reading spot (even though it’s the same page I was on when I turned it off). If I say yes, it inevitably jumps back several pages.

My guess is that it has some interval for syncing reading progress that’s not fast enough and when it tries to sync when the Kobo wakes back up, the current page number is too old.

I’ve been getting by by just disabling wifi unless I need to sync new books. What you’re describing sounds a lot like what I see if I click Yes on the dialog. Makes me wonder if yours is configured to automatically do whatever my dialog asks me to do…

Check out calibre-web-automated. It’s a fork of calibre-web that has some stronger auto tagging and Kobo support.

I just switched over to Booklore and think it’s a bit better.

One thing I didn’t like about the calibre-web-X apps is they don’t seem to update any book metadata on the kobo if you’ve already synced the book. So if you go and fix a typo in a title or cover art or whatever, you can’t get that update to sync to the kobo without going pretty nuclear.
