“FUCK IP”

did I do it correctly?

Not necessarily. Look at Lemmy instances for example. You could call each instance a hub, but the content is pretty much distributed.

I see. But still, GitHub isn’t the right place for precious code like this. The best would be to have a federated git forge, something like what the forgejo devs are working on.

No, in my eyes PoW is just a waste of resources. At least let them do some useful computation for the node.

PoW? Really?

Or you could just create your own locked down, nerdy circlejerk instance for people like you.

Look, downloading books for free if it’s only for private consumption isn’t illegal everywhere.

I don’t see much of a difference to Goodreads. You will find most of the features you already use on bookwyr including book lists, reading goals and book info. It’s up to you to decide if you want to sgare these info with everyone, just your friends or keep them for yourself. There are a lot of lists that are public too so don’t worry about that.

I see. Well personally I’m like the way it goes but I understand that many people don’t see it like that. Nevertheless it has a huge database we could profit from.

That’s rather simple: P2P payments. I know people here really don’t like cryptos but they fill in this gap really well.

It’s not the platform itself that hosts the content. It’s more like a huge database with links redirecting to the free content. But I still get your point.

Anna’s Archive is way more than just a redirection to sources where you can get the books for free. In that sense the content itself is hosted on different platforms like IPFS, through torrents or on zlibrary and AA is just a discovery, curatorial platform. But Thanks for the info about OpenLibrary!

Bookwyrm for organizing your book library and making reading goals (just like in Goodreads).

Also, few weeks ago I switched to friendica from mastodon and it is really such a better experience. You have so many features and it’s compatible with a lot of other fedi apps that it quickly became my hub for the biggest part of the fediverse.

You are right, text input is by far it’s weakest point. You can’t even make a text bold or in italics like you would normally do.

I switched from designer to Inkscape and for me it was perfectly fine.

I tried the plasma 6 alpha and although it’s still a bit rough around the edges this should be a marvelous release given the time they still have to fix all the bugs.

Here are the things I replaced my Google/Microsoft/Meta services with:

• Tuta(nota): Email
• Nextcloud: Cloud
• Typst: LaTeX/Docs alternative
• LineageOS: Degoogled Android rom
• Aurora Store: Google Play Store alternative
• NewPipe, Odysee, Peertube: YouTube alternatives
• Firefox: Chrome/Chromium alternative
• SearXNG: Meta search engine
• Linux/BSD: Windows alternatives
• Bitwarden: Password manager & 2FA client
• OpenStreetMaps (OsmAnd): Google maps replacement
• LibreTranslate, Deepl: Google translate alternative
• Signal, SimpleX, Briar, Matrix: chat and group organization

DO NOT FORGET TO MIGRATE ACCOUNTS BEFORE DELETING

No that’s not how my story continues. I didn’t buy the “pessimist guide” I bought the “personal resource management” book.

You become the gigachad who realizes that most of school education is probably not worth the attention, you skip through classes and master things you really enjoy doing in the meantime.

This is inevitable. You are fighting a fight against the natural development of a language. Maybe we really should start caring more about licenses but the terms will be used by other people nevertheless like they want.
