Learn how to use Docker. That’s gonna be a big help.

It’s a whole ordeal to get set up. There’s some plugins for Calibre, I believe one is called NoDRM and os is called De-DRM. Can’t remember which one I’m using or what the differences are.

From Google Play Books you can download the encrypted books (from the website on PC). You are supposed to use Adobe Digital Editions with your Google login to be able to read the encrypted/DRM-protected books on your PC. When you’ve set up Adobe Digital Editions, you can find a key file somewhere (can’t remember the location, you should be able to Google that) which you can use together with one of the plugins in Calibre. And that should normally be it.

That didn’t work for me though. So I found some other third party DRM removal tool, in which I logged in with my Google/Adobe Digital Editions account. It could then decrypt the books, but more importantly, it also made a key file somewhere, which i WAS able to use in Calibre. So now, with that key file, I can just drag the encrypted books directly into Calibre, and it decrypts them just fine.

It’s been several years, so I’ve probably forgotten or misremembered some details.

EDIT: By the way, there seems to be a time limit on decrypting the downloaded books, so download them from Google and decrypt them withing relatively short time (a few hours maybe, not sure). Don’t think you can just decrypt them whenever in the future.

Google Play Books, since I like their app a lot and don’t have to think about syncing across several device.

What problems are you having with it?

I buy my ebooks legally, but I also de-DRM them and keep them in Calibre. I guess that’s the least illegal way to pirate them.

I selfhost Tiny Tiny RSS

pinky swear There’s not even a pinky swear. It’s not transactional in any way. It’s just a header you decide to send with every request. It’s the same as someone posting “I do not consent to Facebook harvesting data from my profile!” on their Facebook profile.

That’s what happens when you download Chrome from chr0mebrowser․ru

Alright, thanks

Yup, I can customize and change the settings of my Moondrop earbuds with Gadgetbridge instead of the official app.

They have a feature where they toggle sound presets depending on your location. That’s the only thing that requires an account, as well as access to your location. It’s opt-in however (and pretty useless imo).

If it can toggle ANC and “passthrough” mode based on location, that would actually be an awesome feature for me. I often wear my earbuds while walking, taking the train, and shopping, and in the train I like having ANC on but at the supermarket I like having passthrough mode on so I can hear the cashier better.

Why, PorkBun is great?

But you never truly “own” a domain anyway, you just rent it via the registrars. The registrars and registries can take it away from you at any moment anyway.

I find it interesting that Germany is so far behind when it comes to IT and modernization. It’s like you’re stuck in 1990, even though you’re surrounded by countries that have used chip payment cards since the early 2000s and contactless payments since the early to mid 2010s. Nobody here in Denmark has touched a fax machine in the last 15-20 years, and apparently Germans still fax things sometimes to this day??
