It’s sadly more stupid than that. His eyes open a portal to another dimension, although that’s been retconned and apparently now they “metabolize the suns energy”

Just take a guess as to who was president at the time.

The other thing you didn’t talk about was the size of the market in general.

As onbaord CPUs were becoming popular the biggest reason for a GPU was games or video processing. Which, while significant markets, isn’t huge.

Over the past couple decades, GPUs have made headway as the way to do Machine Learning/AI. Nvidia spent a lot of time and money making this process easier on their GPUs which lead to them not only owning the graphics market, but the much bigger ML/AI market. And I say the AI/ML market is bigger is simply that they are being installed in huge quantities in data centers.

Edit: My point being that the market shrunk before GPUs became so critical. To counteract Nvidias stranglehold, a lot of big tech companies are creating custom TPUs (Tensor processing units) which are just ML/AI specific chips.

Yeah, I made a separate comment, but AudioBookshelf can play nicely with ebooks and comics. It’s not super smooth, but provides the most features in a self hosted solution from what I’ve tried.

I just use AudioBookshelf for books. It’s a little annoying, but basically just requires an extra nested folder structure.

The best part is offline reading seems to resync back to the server, so you can download books for local reading or read through an internet connection.

Am I missing something? SQLite is great, but it isn’t really comparable to most other SQL databases, unless you’re talking about nosql alternatives?

I wish that was the case, but there are a lot of people that see government provided services as waste/fraud. I mean look at how the federal government is being eviscerated right now.

It would be nice if everyone could be guaranteed a safe place to manage money though.

I didn’t know that existed!

Its decline reads like everything else going on in the US. Government provided a service a lot of people liked, private enterprise lobbies to have it shut down and lock people into nickel and diming them.

I’ve long held the belief that the US postal service should also provide basic banking services too in the US, that way no one can be denied a bank account.

Or the reverse, find an 18/19 year old who looks 35!

I think the better stat would be time handling a gun/driving a car.

The average person probably spends about an hour in the car per day (based on some loose numbers I saw online). But I suspect the number of hours holding a gun is a lot less.

Its kinda like the fact that new Yorkers bite more people than sharks. It isn’t because new Yorkers are more likely to bite you, but with eight million people interacting daily the amount of interactions outweighs the odds of a bite.

Given they mourn their dead, I think there is evidence that they do. If they can value a life, then there must be some framework within which that value stems from.

If we’re willing to agree on that, then the follow-up question would be, “do elephants have supernatural or religious beliefs?”, as you claim that’s required for morals.

Looks like there is a config and cache location in their docker scripts. The easiest way to make a docker application portable is to bind mount the config and cache. That way you have access to the actual files and could copy them to your windows partition.

If you’re already using a volume for that data, I think it becomes a bit trickier. I know technically you can move or copy volumes, but I’ve never tried. Although you could still bind mount a random directory and still copy the files out.

Yeah probably while making a tool/smashing something. Knocking two rocks together, create a spark on accident, boom fire.

Yep, bind mount the data and config directories and back those up. You can test a backup by spinning up a new container with the data/config directories.

This is both easy and generally the recommended thing I’ve seen for many services.

The only thing that could cause issues is breaking changes caused by the docker images themselves, but that’s an issue regardless of backup strategy.

You’re right, but people over a certain tax bracket are also pretty good at not paying taxes.

Just want to expand on this as it’s the most direct explanation.

With two die there are 6 ways to you can roll a seven (each side has one way to add up to seven), and 36 total combinations (6 sides * 6 sides). So the odds are 6 times out of 36 or 6/36.

With one weighted die, you have a set value (say 3 for example). There is only one side on the other die that will equal 7 (4 in our example). So you have 1 out of 6 possibilities, or 1/6 chance.

However, this is only true for 7. If you were targeting 2 for example, the odds can change substantially. Normally you have one way to get 2 (1 and 1) so you’d have 1 out of 36 possible rolls or 1/36. If the weighted die was weighted to 6 though, you’d never be able to get 2, so your odds would be 0.

It’s really great software, and the android app is great (given it supports offline mode). I just wish the folder structure was simpler/flexible. Makes me tempted to try to make a pull request, but haven’t done something like that in ages.

To be honest, I think there is diminishing returns on more money (look at star citizen for example).

I feel like it would end up a live service game (where the extra money results in content over a long period of time) or just become bloated.

I saw Boox called out, but not the Boox Palma². I just got it and it’s been pretty nice. The major draw is the form factor though as it’s phone sized making it pretty portable.

It runs android and I’ve set it up to work with AudioBookshelf and Komga

AudioBookshelf, while designed for audiobooks, allows you to download books for offline reading and seemed the best all in one for books self hosting. It also has a native android app.

Komga seems pretty amazing for manga and comic books (haven’t settled on an app, just using the browser now). The e-ink display isn’t the best for reading this medium, but it’s not terrible for black and white comics.

Since both of those are self-hosted solutions they could integrate with readarr pretty easily (although audiobookshelf’s folder structure can be frustrating).
