Does this mean books I buy will no longer clog up my library forever? I had no idea that would be an option and it could really help with the overwhelming number of books on my list. I generally don’t even look at books with low ratings.

I find that Automation = Safety. Hence my backup is entirely automated and will thus not fail as it depends on no human memory. On Linux I wrote a small bash script that uses rsync to synchronize my ~/Calibre Library folder and the entire ~/.config/calibre folder to a large enough folder on a backup drive. This script first checks for the presence and then kills the ‘calibre’ process (with a friendly warning message). Then it does the actual work using rsync with the archive flag and verbose switching. The whole operation is logged with a timestamp in the end. I use cron to run this little script every Sunday at 3 AM. A second cron job then uses rclone to synchronize the contents of the above-mentioned backup folder with a Tresorit cloud folder once a month. The output of all operations is written to a log file which I then occasionally check. As rsync only synchronizes changed blocks (unlike a full copy) it is very fast and efficient. All in all I have perfectly reliable and completely automated backup of all my ebooks (which is what Calibre is for in the first place) – and this with minimal initial investment of time and completely invisible afterwards.

'Young Forever' (The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Part 3) features 'Save Me’. This album showed much growth in BTS’ music. Although the sound became more mature, it still retained raw elements. The choreography for ‘Save Me’ is particularly iconic, with smooth movements throughout the dance. The lyrics for the song were written partly by RM, which is why fans can sense the personal connection he has with the song. The album itself takes on many moods and is perfect for when I’m feeling down on rainy days.

Note that if you chose to “Sign in with Apple” and enabled “Hide My Email” for that account, Apple generates a random e-mail address for you to sign up with new services. Note that Apple uses the same Apple ID for all your Apple devices, so if you Sign in with Apple on your iPhone with the “Hide My Email” option enabled, you cannot sign up for new services with the same account using your Android and Signing up directly with the e-mail address that was generated for you instead of using “Sign in with Apple”. The randomly generated e-mail address is actually your technical account identifier. Therefore, it is recommended to use the same method to sign up for new services on all your devices in order to add them to your sync universe.

I can only remember taking 2 Kindle screenshots in my entire life. Both times, I had no idea what happened to them. They just vanished. This thread is super helpful. The screenshots are stored in a folder on my computer (dedicated to Kindle stuff, obviously) – a folder within my Pictures folder. So, I shall have to dig out that and see if I have any hidden gems buried away from years ago. This is like finding money in an old coat pocket, but with lots of really nice quotes from books I’d long since forgotten I’d read. Maybe I’ll even start a new folder and collect my favorite quotes in that. Better late than never, I suppose.

But what about ongoing stories? I set my script to download new content in chunks, generally when the author has completed a story arc, or every 50 chapters or so. This way, instead of having to download a 1000-chapter novel all at once, I can process the new content separately from the rest of the novel, and it will usually correspond with the volume/bound format of the novel as it’s published on the web. So in addition to being a reasonable way to handle an extremely long work, it also aligns with the general organization of most web novels, treating each arc as its own mini-book. I keep a simple text file with the last chapter # for each, for reference.

Levi Ackerman, 100%. I almost choked on my soda the first time I heard him say that. It’s such a great character moment. It’s cool and it’s heartbreaking at the same time. I mean he saved Eren’s life but he’s also making it clear that he’s not a guardian angel or anything. It’s a wake-up call really. And that’s why I love him, that’s why he has such a great fanbase because he holds people to such high standards.

I have my ebook collection managed in much the same way I managed my music collection during the iPod era: as a central hub with manual transfers between the hub and other locations. So my ebook collection is managed by Calibre on my desktop. I sync my Kobo by plugging it in and transferring books. I sync a handful of books to my phone by saving a disk copy of them in Calibre and then copying the saved books to a Dropbox folder on my phone. Any edits made to books on one device do not get propagated to other devices. This approach has the big advantage of not causing any headaches, and no chance of ebook collection corruption. It also means that Calibre runs very fast on my desktop, because the hub for my ebook collection is on a local SSD. The only ‘cost’ is some manual work, which I find easy to manage for a collection of less than 10,000 books.

I read this as completely wish-fulfillment fantasy and it totally worked for me. The powerful organization they battled against is brought down by the two main characters and they’re offered positions of power in the new organization. But no, they decline and use their back pay to purchase a small starship and proceed to travel from alien market to bizarre planet in search of new adventures – mostly minor. The hunter can now cook. The completely logical agent takes up painting starscapes. It was a completely and utterly simple happy-ending-to-the-story and I found it incredibly satisfying. I need more stories like this. They are the literary equivalent of a warm hug. Completely and utterly satisfactory.

I am coming here to look at fonts that people recommend. The defaults are giving me eye fatigue.
