metux is Enrico Weigelt, the dev behind Xlibre, the new fork of X11. He’s quite controversial, partly due to claiming to want to keep politics out of development by filling his posts with alt-right dog whistles, as well as being an antivaxer and having some… er… revisionist views of history.
Are you saying you think it’s ridiculous to end support “already”?
I think it’s likely that anyone still using 486s isn’t updating software anyway, so it’s unlikely to matter aside from niches like retro devices. Luckily, open source means that if there’s a genuine desire there’ll probably be a fork to provide it.
Then the UK’s equally dumb: it was 10:04 pm BST (GMT+1) cos daylight savings is a thing in most of Europe too. At least it’s synchronised across Europe[1] so you just need to remember that most[2] of North America changes a few weeks earlier.
Also, the UK says GMT/BST which is nice and clear - calling both EST and EDT “Eastern Time” makes even more of a mess!
And yes, I’ve just rediscovered you can use footnotes, why do you ask?
But you’re misrepresenting my argument.
Hardly, I’m directly addressing your statement that case insensitive is intuitive to users, grandmas or otherwise - I give examples where it’s not initiative or obvious which filenames match. I didn’t mention ease of implementation at all.
The principle of least surprise is an important UX consideration, and your idea of effectively introducing collation and localising which files conflict is just trading one problem for another set of problems and suprises (e.g. copying directories between drives with different settings).
Case insensitive is more intuitive
Are these the same filename?
What about these?
Databases have different case-insensitive collations - these control what letters are equivalent to each other. The fact that there’s multiple options should tell you that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to case insensitivity.
This issue is only simple and obvious if you don’t know enough about it.
I have Tasker running, and you can set it up to do this too. Between ntfy and Google’s version I think I’m covered already!
Most of the manga I have is amateur translated stuff, so the metadata quality varies with release groups.
The graphic novels are generally retail releases, but sometimes I still want to edit to get rid of marketing words (e.g. the title might mention how it’s now a Netflix series or something).
I guess I’ve just been lucky then! I’ve stripped DRM off everything else, so I expect theirs would come off using the same tools.
The latest Kindle update broke the jailbreak even if it was installed, so you’ll need to stop updates. You could just leave it in airplane mode, but not being able to use the internet to pull down books from your Calibre-web server means you may as well just send books via Calibre.
I’m planning on getting a Kobo Clara BW when my Kindle dies (it’s currently got holes at the corners and a few dodgy-sounding rattles so soon™). Then I can use Koreader+Calibre-web to download books and sync read state like you can do with Amazon.
So your process here is get comics -> comictagger -> upload to server and kavita, correct?
Pretty much, apart from that I often add them and only fix if necessary, e.g. they’re not going into series properly.
None of the books I’ve bought from kobo.com have DRM.
I went with ntfy as well - you can set the different levels to alert in different ways and my max priority is set to always ring even if the phone is on silent. Mostly I use max prio as a find-my-phone tool, but there are real alerts that would use it.
Ebooks: I use Calibre locally and Calibre-web on the server (read-only metadata db, I overwrite with the Calibre version as tagging, etc is far easier on desktop).
You can connect Koreader to Calibre-web and until maybe a fortnight ago you could jailbreak a Kindle and use Koreader instead of the default software. Now you’ll need to manually move files over, or use the email-to-Kindle option (probably a bad idea, but I expect Amazon can tell if you’ve side loaded pirated content anyway). Nowadays I buy from not-Amazon sources, strip any DRM and send it over.
Manga/comics/graphic novels: I use Kavita on the server and I use comictagger on desktop to fix the metadata.
I’m happy to use different set ups for the different types as they’re quite different experiences and specialist tools work better.
It’s the meme version of a laugh track
I guess some people might go with f-s-tayb, but I wouldn’t necessary recognise what they were saying.
Lots of the industrial programming languages are very different to “normal”/“proper” programming languages, and I can see them being localised.
For example, this is (PLC programming language) Ladder Logic code:
The Phoronix comments are notoriously toxic - I went to the article mostly to witness the incoherent rage in the comments and wasn’t too disappointed.
I just went to look for answers this, since report-uri.com is killing its free tier, and the lowest paid is way higher than my usage justifies. What did you settle on?

I thought we were finally agreeing fully! My understanding of the question is “what is the difference between a third (of a pizza, say) and a half?”
1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6
1/2 = 1/3 + 1/6
a half is one sixth more than a third.
btw, I fixed my Kagi screenshot since I’d missed a word from the question (reading comprehension’s clearly not my strong point today)
