[01:01] <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.
[01:02] <Scary_Guy> Alternatively, OPNsense/PFsense are great options as well if you want a firewall.
[01:02] <Scary_Guy> (sorry, dedicated firewall.)

[13:43] <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.
[13:51] <cmaloney> For non-DRM books I've been using FBreader with some success
[13:52] <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
[14:22] <sealion> It looks like the book(s) I'm interested likely have DRM.
[14:24] <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.
[14:33] <sealion> What's your preference when it comes to DRM ebooks vs physical copies when it comes to software development reference books?
[14:51] <cmaloney> I do my best to not purchase DRM ebooks
[14:51] <cmaloney> so I'm more picky about who I buy from
[14:52] <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)
[14:53] <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
[15:19] <sealion> What should I look for on InformIT to determine that a book is DRM free?
[15:29] <sealion> Answering my own question, it looks like non-DRM books are the ones with watermarks.
[15:36] <jrwren> i prefer print. egon was wrong
[15:47] <sealion> I may end up splitting the difference.
[15:48] <sealion> I can get a new print copy of one book.
[15:49] <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.
[15:51] <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
[15:52] <cmaloney> DIGITALCOMMUNITY will also work, but that expires at the end of 2020
[15:52] <cmaloney> Tell them MUG sent you. ;)
[15:53] <sealion> Thanks! :)
[15:53] <cmaloney> np
[15:53] <jrwren> WEWLC is a good book.
[15:53] <cmaloney> seconded
[15:54] <cmaloney> Not sure about refactoring to patterns, though I have a bit of a hate-on for patterns
[15:55] <sealion> Yes, WEWLC is the book I wish I knew about and had back when I was doing professional work.
[15:58] <sealion> cmaloney: RTF addresses that somewhat by acknowledging that overuse or incorrect use of patterns can be worse than no patterns.
[15:59] <sealion> Nice, I can get both print and e-book for WEWLC for a bundle price. Tempting...
[16:00] <cmaloney> <3
[16:01] <jrwren> i just checked my shelves. I don't have a copy. I thought I might and that I'd offer it to you.
[16:17] <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.
[16:20] <sealion> ... or not?
[17:14] <cmaloney> It's after the checkout
[17:14] <cmaloney> So hit checkout and then it should have an area to add a coupon
[17:17] <cmaloney> It's slightly confusing, but it's there. :)
[17:28] <sealion> After setting up your payment?
[17:34] <cmaloney> You might need to create an account first
[17:35] <cmaloney> I don't recall if that was one of the stores that was really late in the game for discount codes
[17:36] <cmaloney> with my account I get it after hitting "checkout" but that's also because I have several of those coupons stored
[17:37] <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
[17:38] <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> ;)

[21:36] <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?!?
[22:13] <cmaloney> jrwren: oof
[22:15] <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.
[22:17] <cmaloney> of course using docker for a ssl proxy is just...
[22:17] <cmaloney> you broke my braib
[22:30] <jrwren> the ssl is beside the point.
[22:31] <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.
