[01:01] 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. [01:02] Alternatively, OPNsense/PFsense are great options as well if you want a firewall. [01:02] (sorry, dedicated firewall.) [01:08] https://foldingathome.org/covid19/ [13:43] 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. [13:51] For non-DRM books I've been using FBreader with some success [13:52] but you have to do the work to find out of it's DRM or not [13:52] Last I checked they also have a "cloud reader" but that's browser-based [14:22] It looks like the book(s) I'm interested likely have DRM. [14:24] 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. [14:33] What's your preference when it comes to DRM ebooks vs physical copies when it comes to software development reference books? [14:51] I do my best to not purchase DRM ebooks [14:51] so I'm more picky about who I buy from [14:52] 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) [14:53] O'Reilly used to be on that list, but they closed their shop, so they're pretty much dead to me. :) [14:53] Though they have non-DRM ebooks on various sites like Kobo and Amazon [15:19] What should I look for on InformIT to determine that a book is DRM free? [15:29] Answering my own question, it looks like non-DRM books are the ones with watermarks. [15:36] i prefer print. egon was wrong [15:47] I may end up splitting the difference. [15:48] I can get a new print copy of one book. [15:49] 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] Yeah, the ones with DRM usually mention Adobe in there. [15:49] Whch book is it? [15:49] Refactoring to Patterns [15:49] Working Effectively with Legacy Code is the one that I can still get a new print for. [15:51] IUGD45 <- use this code to get 45% off [15:51] Wow! InformIT actually has WEWLC a bit cheaper than Amazon for print, or another $9 beyond that for the e-book. [15:51] on the informit site [15:52] DIGITALCOMMUNITY will also work, but that expires at the end of 2020 [15:52] Tell them MUG sent you. ;) [15:53] Thanks! :) [15:53] np [15:53] WEWLC is a good book. [15:53] seconded [15:54] Not sure about refactoring to patterns, though I have a bit of a hate-on for patterns [15:55] Yes, WEWLC is the book I wish I knew about and had back when I was doing professional work. [15:58] cmaloney: RTF addresses that somewhat by acknowledging that overuse or incorrect use of patterns can be worse than no patterns. [15:59] Nice, I can get both print and e-book for WEWLC for a bundle price. Tempting... [16:00] <3 [16:01] i just checked my shelves. I don't have a copy. I thought I might and that I'd offer it to you. [16:17] 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. [16:20] ... or not? [17:14] It's after the checkout [17:14] So hit checkout and then it should have an area to add a coupon [17:17] It's slightly confusing, but it's there. :) [17:28] After setting up your payment? [17:34] You might need to create an account first [17:35] I don't recall if that was one of the stores that was really late in the game for discount codes [17:36] with my account I get it after hitting "checkout" but that's also because I have several of those coupons stored [17:37] 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] Maybe the codes don't apply to the particular books in my cart? [17:37] Nah, they'll just show up as grayed out [17:38] But if you have the code it might show up near the end [17:38] since you have the one code [17:38] just don't finalize the order or I'll feel bad [17:38] ;) [18:31] https://io9.gizmodo.com/amazon-secretly-removes-1984-from-the-kindle-5317703 classic [18:32] https://www.defectivebydesign.org/guide/ebooks good list of resources. [20:24] Also https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.en.html [21:36] wow... docker isn't bad... until it is: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/15086 [21:36] if you want to know a remote IP connecting to your docker service you... just can't?!? [22:13] jrwren: oof [22:15] honestly Docker just ... I can't even [22:15] yeah, docker is great, until it isn't. [22:15] I mean... just... words. [22:17] of course using docker for a ssl proxy is just... [22:17] you broke my braib [22:30] the ssl is beside the point. [22:31] 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.
