And off-site! Don't forget that!

First, buy a domain. Then, set up a server, then a hypervisor on the server, then set up a reverse proxy, punch a hole in your firewall, set up MFA, set up a container, install docker, set up NextCloud using a docker-compose, set up accounts and a client on the devices... Simple!

Well, e-ink has it's own limitations, so watching videos sucks. No headphone jack. The charge port is covered by the case when it's closed, so I have to leave the case open when I charge it. The "menu ball" is a weird design choice, so I don't use it. These are pretty nit-picky things though.

That's someone who hosted stirling-pdf. https://www.stirling.com/ You can host it yourself, or run it locally in a docker container, but it's a pain to set up. Still, it bugs me that someone is taking perfectly good software, jamming ads in, and is now this "amazing online service".

I had a few really annoying problems with the Bigme when I first got it, but two updates later and it's really solid.

Honestly? Not fantastic. I run it with the wifi and LTE on, some backlight, GPS on, and I get two solid days out of it. For e-ink, I would expect more. Still... Quite nice for what I paid. Much more useful than a pure e-reader, even just for ease of getting content into it, you know?

I miss the Yotaphone days.

Throwing out some love for the Bigme B7.

It's my e-reader, my maps, my podcasts, and I can even knock out a reply to a telegram and then get back to my book without pulling out my (stupidly small) phone.

I have an old as eff Kobo, and it's a marginally better e-reader, but just grabbing an Epub off the net, off nextcloud, or even reading a decent sized article... Yeah, love my B7.

Hi! I'm in my 40's. My dad is ten years passed, and my oldest brother died in a total freak accident. Before I was born. One of the last things my Dad said was "I'll say hi to your brother for you." My brother died right before Thanksgiving. We never celebrated Thanksgiving, not for my whole life. My mom still gets weepy at Thanksgiving almost 50 years later. This was an accidental death. I don't think my parents would have survived a suicide. I had a co-worker at my last job, hadn't seen him in maybe five years, we never hung out, random texts every now and then, not a part of my life. He just killed himself in November. I have spent the last month asking myself if I could have done something, if I had only known...

Suicide affects people you don't even know! Hell, I found my co-worker irritating and immature, but I sincerely wish he had called or said something, I would never wish that level of despair on someone.

Dragon Quest 2. Still can't beat the end boss...

MOO! (Masters of Orion.) MOO2, too.

It finally arrived!
