For example, ask me the link to the file if you want it, I've got a epub with the latest ade, but I don't think I'd be able to get the decryption key out of the new ade
[00:17:16]
Harzilein
yeah, as i said, personally i found the whole thing around that program horrible and would recommend anyone to stay away from those outlets. at least in germany, some best sellers seem to be available in unobfuscated/-encumbered epub if one must avoid amazon for some reason
[00:17:22]

i was on linux but it was all platform agnostic since i think it was just using deDRM

jmjl
lol seems like knock exists
[00:18:43]
jmjl
let's try it
[00:18:47]
Harzilein
yeah, but my point it that's a shitty version of free to begin with
[00:19:11]
Harzilein
that's what i meant earlier, usually people come in contact with that through "free" outlets like library systems
[00:19:11]
jmjl
but it would let me get almost any book I want
[00:19:27]
Harzilein
and usually it turns out those library systems buy packages from multiple vendors
[00:19:40]
jmjl
as they have to "only give out one copy per copy they have"...
[00:20:23]
kot
have you also seen if the book already exists elsewhere? check annas archive before you find out that someone's saved you the 6 hours of trouble
[00:20:28]
Harzilein
and maybe have one that ostensibly requires a reader app or a web reader which can both just be mitm'd or scraped (i.e. you need to figure out how your library's sso interaction with the vendor works)
[00:21:09]
Harzilein
because that is so much prefered to letting that ade crap onto your system in the first place
[00:21:15]
Harzilein
and then trying to drive it
[00:21:30]
Harzilein
i mean that's the kind of friction the drm vendors _sell_ to the book vendors

like those packages that also include bespoke magazine reader webapps
[00:23:49]
Harzilein
check _those_ for books. maybe in some years the librarians were lazy/underfunded and didn't catalog every vendor link their users are entitled to use. go to a book that _has_ an online reader link and work your way back to _their own_ (usually bad, but only as bad as amazon's) catalog
[00:23:50]

hamburg's library system is above average. they seem to accept deals where they get lots of crappy stuff (you know, like the things you'd find as self-published on kindle)

I first download the acsm file, run knock on it.
[00:30:08]

Download another acsm file, and open the bottle, load the acsm file into it, and return the book

jmjl
oh, I didn't know that, that'd be awesome to have
[00:33:01]
jmjl
Harzilein: and my calibre in my computer would connect to that remote host for loading the books right?
[00:33:34]
Harzilein
jmjl: with "desktop" integration set up the right way, it should be little more than setting a check mark ins some preferences dialog i think. you can also run the server from the command line though.
[00:33:51]
Harzilein
jmjl: yes, you can connect to opds servers with calibre
[00:34:16]
Harzilein
calibre can be both opds server and client
[00:34:23]

because 9 helps you get golden ducks when you just lost your improved ammo

esjay
Serion; good enough
[01:10:41]
Harzilein
but what esjay says, even debian's python rarely has the interpreter's version as the bottleneck (they have a _default_ python, and that gets upgraded more slowly)

kicks Aarons
[01:11:16]
Serion
what areyou talking about CT
[01:11:26]
esjay
if you want a good baseline, just use debian or centos and use their python version
[01:11:53]
Harzilein
it's the wider "ecosystem" (i hate that word) that occasionally needs major coordinated transition (or just random work because they changed something and imposed it on the community) that can get outdated on distros
[01:12:24]
jmjl
kot: the link to the archive was really helpfull, thanks.
[01:12:28]
Harzilein
but even then, it's fairly painless to then just backport what's already cooking in the distro packaging's repo (and soon pushed to unstable) if you need it
[01:12:59]
kot
jmjl: you're welcome!
[01:13:57]
Serion
gotcha thanks dudes

What happened to the ManyThings archive on the-eye T_T
[01:14:16]
Harzilein
doing that whole virtualenv thing and updating every minor thing once it became available in the languages' package repos/hubs was often just a distraction imho.
[01:14:58]
esjay
Forcing people to use venv's is stupid
[01:15:36]
Harzilein
(or with the interpreter: boy what _fights_ people have fought over the right way to build rubies and to then select between them... that was a shitshow around 2012)
[01:15:46]
kot
is it just a cope for python team breaking shit all the time

6:58 PM <• Ahsoka> Hotties sounds like a girl nick just don't want to assume gender -> same, I'm saying it doesn't matter to me ;)
[01:16:00]
kot
as well as devs being too lazy to update their own shit
[01:16:24]
Harzilein
from an admin's perspective: devs are usually way too eager to update their shit

"sorry this program only works with two very specific versions of beautifulsoup4 :)"
[01:16:47]

I will slaughter the BS4 dev
[01:17:03]
esjay
I've spent hours of my life spiting them
[01:17:33]
Harzilein
of course in some organizations, admins have too much of an iron fist too

Well I'm off to bed
[01:19:20]

i remember reading that at some point during ruby on rails' heyday, bbc no longer was attracting enough devs to work on specific perl code on solaris instead of rails and one project was basically porting the entire rails philosophy to perl (which never had a shortcoming of web frameworks in the first place)
[01:20:23]
Harzilein
wonder if that was a success at least (i.e. if they succeeded in getting those devs that would otherwise have said "no way i'm going with something that won't be a marketable skill 5 years down the road" with a rails-like facade on perl web things)

Does anybody know how the position counter on the kindle is created?
[01:21:49]
Harzilein
jmjl: as in the graphical display of it? i think those are just some numbered positions. could be paragraphs or words or w/e.
[01:22:08]
kot
or do you mean the location number
[01:22:20]
jmjl
location number
[01:22:22]
kot
that one might be some draconic thing that's not standardized
[01:22:25]
Harzilein
jmjl: no idea if in authoring the .mobi files you get to select some numbering scheme

cena did a great job playing the uncle roll imp
[01:30:26]
Serion
would ove to use a kindle display for stuff
[01:30:35]
Serion
you must be able to buy that type of display somewhere..
[01:32:08]
Harzilein
look at hackaday, i think there were some services that send you used kindle parts
[01:32:13]
Ziginox
Serion: I wanna say there are products on the market to drive a scavenged kindle display with an arduino or pi
[01:32:16]

He was a little cringy

It's like he tried to be peacemaker but knew they didn't want to get sued by WB
[01:34:25]
Harzilein
also the guy who runs gmane mentions an epaper display with hdmi on his blog
[01:34:35]
Harzilein
if it doesn't need to be a _kindle_ display
[01:35:12]
Serion
looks fragile as fuck tho
[01:36:17]
Harzilein
yeah, well, any kind of dealing with flex cable stuff is not fer the faint of heart
[01:36:58]
Serion
i used to be a TV engineer and saw a few of them get snagged or crimped just a teeeeny bit
[01:37:05]
Serion
Destroyed the entire set
[01:37:12]
kot
there's lots of eink display stuff
[01:37:22]
jmjl
Harzilein: so, jailbreaking it doesn't mean it restets it's internal memory, nor downgrading?
[01:37:25]
Serion
need more fckin onitors
[01:37:30]
kot
but be ready for real poor refresh rates unless you shell out tons of money
[01:37:30]
Serion
would be cool to have IRC on one
[01:37:54]
kot
also eink displays can sometimes ghost easily if you don't get good ones
[01:38:30]
Ziginox
Harzilein: true, but used kindles are thick on the ground, so they make a pretty good source
[01:38:59]
Ziginox
jmjl: you only need to downgrade certain models, and that's just because the newer OS versions aren't exploitable
[01:39:06]
kot
jmjl: jailbreaking typically doesn't reset anything. if it did, it will mention it
[01:39:22]
kot
but yeah amazons also pretty on their game on patching out jailbreak shit
[01:39:24]
jmjl
so it is a painless process
[01:39:33]
Ziginox
(like my Voyage is non-breakable, unless I short a jumper on the board so I can DFU it to an older version)
[01:39:49]
Ziginox
the Kindle 4 era (and maybe even a couple versions after) are completely jailbreakable, though
[01:39:50]
kot
it's why i switched to a nonamazon e-reader. fucked up by letting it auto update and lost my jailbreak
[01:40:03]
Ziginox
they're out of support, and the last version Amazon pushed to them didn't fix any exploits
[01:40:17]
jmjl
Oh then I guess I am lucky

I always said jason mamoa was the best part of the movie

Ziginox
I wish I could find my old Kindle Keyboard
[01:41:02]
Ziginox
jailbreaking that would be more interesting, since it... has a keyboard
[01:41:10]
Ziginox
no, it's an old model that literally has a keyboard on it
[01:41:35]
No_One

<Serion> would be cool to have IRC on one
[01:42:34]
No_One
Doesn't give refresh timw
[01:42:38]
Harzilein
Serion: personally i found some workable webirc setups... but with the "highscore entry style" input it's not fun
[01:42:41]
No_One
I bet it's 40" seconds
[01:42:43]
kot
if it's not an active channel maybe. poor refresh rates and constant blinking to prevent ghosting
[01:43:06]
Harzilein
Serion: i would have tried a lot more with the browser
[01:43:06]
Syndus_
Near novelty but pass
[01:43:19]
kot
it's why eink/ePaper are usually only for ereaders or displays that don't change ever 30 seconds
[01:43:28]
Harzilein
Serion: but luckily i got most of that energy out of my system with the wii and its web channel before
[01:43:46]
Syndus_
Give me that with a heads up display so I can pretend I'm iron man when I'm stoned
[01:44:36]
Serion
"highscore entry style"?
[01:44:39]
Ziginox
speaking of thosting, look at the progress bar lol
