It’s a tolino vision 2. Technically, it runs android 4 under the hood, but I would need to tinker with it via adb to run something else, and the small storage space available makes this not so appealing. I’d prefer to leave the complexity to the server and do the reading inside the browser in the ereader.

That’s an interesting setup, but my ereader probably doesn’t support the tinkering needed to install syncthing on it (it’s a refurbrished tolino vision 2) and the available memory is too low.

I will check them both, thank you. I don’t think my device supports koreader, but maybe I can read directly from the browser.

Jellyfin users have been warning about such things for a long time, but very few actually listened. Well, here we are, hope more people migrate now

But lemmy isn’t marked as private there. Wouldn’t it be the same as mastodon?

Bring it on!

But aren’t pdfs with code a potential security risk?

disable CPU hogs and file indexing etc.

Do you have some tips for that?

Never underestimate the network effect and how reluctant people are to move to another social network. The masses just follow the crowd, so every big account moving out from there helps take more users away.

Thanks for the tip, but my phone still uses micro usb lol

I won’t deny, it’s refreshing to see posts like these, and I’ve seen a few of them around the web. Perhaps we’re really going to slowly see some positive change in the tech world.

Good luck, @bpt11@sh.itjust.works and welcome to the community!

I used to, but when someone finally got interested, the usb media was so outdated, that I had to download and write a new iso :D

When you said 16 years, I was expecting something like a core 2 duo and 2gb of ram, but you got some nice specs in there. Any common distro will run fine. Users coming from windows tend to like linux mint, so that’s my suggestion.

Here in Brazil, there are still a lot of laptops, monitors and tvs being sold with that resolution.

It would be unrealistic to expect a faster growth. The userbase already used windows and the global linux userbase is small. People don’t change habits so easily, and most still don’t see a reason to.

I’m not really serious, but I’d consider making a test or two, thanks.

I read that compiled software can be more optimized for our devices, but my devices that could benefit the most from compiled software are the ones that are inviable to compile software with.

Okular is awesome. I use it even on gnome.

In windows, we get the entire os as a single product, and we don’t have a choice in anything. On linux, it’s the contrary. The os if formed by several software distributed separately and joined together like lego pieces. Each linux distro is a compilation of software, a particular combination of lego pieces created and maintained by some group.

So, even the system graphical interface is a lego piece like any other, and each distro comes with one by default. Kde and gnome are some of the most popular interfaces. You can also replace almost any lego piece from the system by another of your choice, unlike on windows.

I hope I helped you understand linux a bit better. It all will become much more simple to you with a little more time. Be welcome to the community.
