| Scary_Guy | If you have a router you should check to see if it supports OpenWRT/DD-WRT and just install the adblock on that. I think they're trying to port Pi-hole over to it but last I heard there was no progress. | 01:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Scary_Guy | Alternatively, OPNsense/PFsense are great options as well if you want a firewall. | 01:02 |
| Scary_Guy | (sorry, dedicated firewall.) | 01:02 |

| sealion | Has anyone been successful at reading Amazon Kindle ebooks locally on Linux? I'm considering whether to buy a hard copy of a book or save some money and buy the ebook version. I'm not sure I like the idea of being beholden to Amazon's cloud and not having a locally readable copy of the book. | 13:43 |
| cmaloney | For non-DRM books I've been using FBreader with some success | 13:51 |
| cmaloney | but you have to do the work to find out of it's DRM or not | 13:52 |
| cmaloney | Last I checked they also have a "cloud reader" but that's browser-based | 13:52 |
| sealion | It looks like the book(s) I'm interested likely have DRM. | 14:22 |
| sealion | I'd be okay with reading through a browser. The thing that would bother me is that I wouldn't actually own a copy of the book, just a license to read it. I'd have to take it on faith the Amazon will let me to continue to have access to the book a year, five years, or ten years in the future. | 14:24 |
| sealion | What's your preference when it comes to DRM ebooks vs physical copies when it comes to software development reference books? | 14:33 |
| cmaloney | I do my best to not purchase DRM ebooks | 14:51 |
| cmaloney | so I'm more picky about who I buy from | 14:51 |
| cmaloney | No Starch Press, Pragmatic Programmers, Manning, InformIT, and Apress all have no DRM (InformIT you might need to be careful, but most of their books are nonDRM) | 14:52 |
| cmaloney | O'Reilly used to be on that list, but they closed their shop, so they're pretty much dead to me. :) | 14:53 |
| cmaloney | Though they have non-DRM ebooks on various sites like Kobo and Amazon | 14:53 |
| sealion | What should I look for on InformIT to determine that a book is DRM free? | 15:19 |
| sealion | Answering my own question, it looks like non-DRM books are the ones with watermarks. | 15:29 |
| jrwren | i prefer print. egon was wrong | 15:36 |
| sealion | I may end up splitting the difference. | 15:47 |
| sealion | I can get a new print copy of one book. | 15:48 |
| sealion | The other book is out of print and my best option for print is used. Amazon has one vendor selling used at $48.99 while other vendors are at $74.03 and up. The e-book version at InformIT is $36. | 15:49 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, the ones with DRM usually mention Adobe in there. | 15:49 |
| cmaloney | Whch book is it? | 15:49 |
| sealion | Refactoring to Patterns | 15:49 |
| sealion | Working Effectively with Legacy Code is the one that I can still get a new print for. | 15:49 |
| cmaloney | IUGD45 <- use this code to get 45% off | 15:51 |
| sealion | Wow! InformIT actually has WEWLC a bit cheaper than Amazon for print, or another $9 beyond that for the e-book. | 15:51 |
| cmaloney | on the informit site | 15:51 |
| cmaloney | DIGITALCOMMUNITY will also work, but that expires at the end of 2020 | 15:52 |
| cmaloney | Tell them MUG sent you. ;) | 15:52 |
| sealion | Thanks! :) | 15:53 |
| cmaloney | np | 15:53 |
| jrwren | WEWLC is a good book. | 15:53 |
| cmaloney | seconded | 15:53 |
| cmaloney | Not sure about refactoring to patterns, though I have a bit of a hate-on for patterns | 15:54 |
| sealion | Yes, WEWLC is the book I wish I knew about and had back when I was doing professional work. | 15:55 |
| sealion | cmaloney: RTF addresses that somewhat by acknowledging that overuse or incorrect use of patterns can be worse than no patterns. | 15:58 |
| sealion | Nice, I can get both print and e-book for WEWLC for a bundle price. Tempting... | 15:59 |
| cmaloney | <3 | 16:00 |
| jrwren | i just checked my shelves. I don't have a copy. I thought I might and that I'd offer it to you. | 16:01 |
| sealion | I'm not seeing anywhere to apply a discount code during checkout on InformIT. I'm wondering if it's because the items in my cart are already discounted. | 16:17 |
| sealion | ... or not? | 16:20 |
| cmaloney | It's after the checkout | 17:14 |
| cmaloney | So hit checkout and then it should have an area to add a coupon | 17:14 |
| cmaloney | It's slightly confusing, but it's there. :) | 17:17 |
| sealion | After setting up your payment? | 17:28 |
| cmaloney | You might need to create an account first | 17:34 |
| cmaloney | I don't recall if that was one of the stores that was really late in the game for discount codes | 17:35 |
| cmaloney | with my account I get it after hitting "checkout" but that's also because I have several of those coupons stored | 17:36 |
| sealion | Ok... I've added the coupon codes to my account, but I'm not getting the option to apply them after I hit "checkout". | 17:37 |
| sealion | Maybe the codes don't apply to the particular books in my cart? | 17:37 |
| cmaloney | Nah, they'll just show up as grayed out | 17:37 |
| cmaloney | But if you have the code it might show up near the end | 17:38 |
| cmaloney | since you have the one code | 17:38 |
| cmaloney | just don't finalize the order or I'll feel bad | 17:38 |
| sealion | ;) | 17:38 |

| jrwren | wow... docker isn't bad... until it is: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/15086 | 21:36 |
| jrwren | if you want to know a remote IP connecting to your docker service you... just can't?!? | 21:36 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: oof | 22:13 |
| cmaloney | honestly Docker just ... I can't even | 22:15 |
| jrwren | yeah, docker is great, until it isn't. | 22:15 |
| cmaloney | I mean... just... words. | 22:15 |
| cmaloney | of course using docker for a ssl proxy is just... | 22:17 |
| cmaloney | you broke my braib | 22:17 |
| jrwren | the ssl is beside the point. | 22:30 |
| jrwren | ANY service hosted in docker can't see the source IP of what is connecting to it because docker-proxy is a TCP redir, not iptables doing routing. | 22:31 |
