I’m very happy with Kavita running in Docker. I’ve used it through the Web UI and KOReader on both phone and Kobo. All work great. I manually download books and fix the metadata on them though so YMMV.

They were spun down the majority of the time. I’m not an idiot.

spinning-down hdd’s when they’re not in use
I’ve just been through this recently. I decided to have my 2 backup HDDs spin down when not in use (99% of the time). I ran into an issue though where I needed them to wake up for SMART tests (which SMART didn’t trigger). Tried a few things that didn’t work so just set them to spin all the time. There’s about a 1-2w difference when they’re spinning all the time. So it’s just not something worth worrying about IMO (In the UK with high energy costs that comes out to 1.3 pence per day roughly).

Ubuntu has better hardware support. It also has PPAs which Debian does not.

The Kavita built in reader would allow you to set up a different account for each device and therefore have separate progress.

I’ve been floating between lots of games in my library the last month or so with nothing really keeping my interest.
Something has finally stuck though… having my 2nd go at Atelier Ryza, enjoying it much more this time. First time through I wasn’t so keen on the crafting but this time I’m leaning into it and it’s far better as a result.
Playing Forza Horizon 4 on the side. I really love the setting but damn are the NPCs annoying constantly talking at you and taking control of the UI away as they do. It’ll be much better once I’ve unlocked everything and they shut up!
I have found Kavita to be excellent.

That screenshot of Strawberry in the blog post really makes it look bad.
Here’s a better one…

Which part of the code?

The title says it is bringing the option for age verification, not that it is age verification.

They don’t call the systemd change “age verification” in the article.
In fact, they specifically make the point that it isn’t.

This is incredibly condescending.
The OP has put hard work into something and has shared it with other people out of the goodness of their heart.
You’re out here trying to bait them into an emotional reaction and when they defend themself far more eloquently than you criticised them you call them emotional.
I just bookmark them in my browser on the toolbar.

I only did a couple of runs so not done much. I’ll remember to get back to you when I’ve played much more like I said before!

I got sucked into Drop Duchy big time the last couple of weeks.
Chrono Ark is next up (already started it and it seems pretty fire from what little I’ve seen).

The single best technical resource (aside from man pages) I know of is the Arch Linux Wiki which despite it’s name has a lot of stuff applicable to any distro.
