There isn’t really an agreed-on metadata system for ebooks, which is surprising to me, considering the ISBN system is wells established as a credible source.
Uploading ebooks to my CWA instance is a guaranteed metadata edit on each one.

You can also approach this by blocking file types at the download client.

Glad you figured it out.
- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 3 days ago:
I know what you’re trying to do, and what those tutorials don’t tell you is that you are shortcutting normal DNS flow, which most apps are expecting.
DNS isn’t designed to work that way, so some apps (like Firefox) with internal hard-coded DNS functions are going to balk at private RFC ips in a DNS record. Or a lack of reverse record.
Again, slow down and think about what your trying to do here. You are complicating your stack for no reason other than you don’t want to set up a local DNS handler.
- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 3 days ago:
No, it is not fully working.
Many have tried to explain to you that your setup only works for YOU on YOUR subnet.
Your are then asking other public tools meant to lookup public ips with publicly-available DNS names to resolve your internal addresses, which they obviously don’t know anything about, and you’re getting those errors from tools that follow rfc because you are putting the equivalent of “bedroom” on the outside of an envelope and expecting the post office to know that it means YOUR bedroom.
For dns to work properly, the authoritative DNS server should be able to create a reverse lookup record for every a record that allow a DNS client to ask “what record do you have for this IP?” and get a coherent response. Since 192.168.10.0/24 is a non-routable network, you will never have such a reverse record.
Wolfgang has done you a disservice by giving you a shortcut that works as a side-effect of dns before you fully understood how DNS works.
- Comment on Beginner Guide to VPS Hetzner and Coolify 3 days ago:
I personally don’t enable automated upgrades anywhere, but I’m 25yrs into sysadmin and I have a pathological aversion to services being down.
I use some automation with ansible, but I like manual triggering so that a problem can manifest when I want it to (like a change window) and I can respond appropriately.
I also would include steps to back up the ssh public keys or have an alternate console available.
But as someone else mentioned, these seem to be someone’s step guide to installs.
- Comment on Another update that no one asked for 4 days ago:
+1 for radicale. It just sits there and works.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
I use rsync and a pruning script in crontab on my NFS mounts. I’ve tested it numerous times breaking containers and restoring them from backup. It works great for me at home because I don’t need anything older than 4 monthly, 4 weekly, and 7 daily backups.
However, in my job I prefer something like bacula. The extra features and granularity of restore options makes a world of difference when someone calls because they deleted prod files.
- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 5 days ago:
My comment was not a recommendation. OP asked what the danger is of leaving short open on port 22.
- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 5 days ago:
Is your container isolated from your internal network?
If I were to compromise your container, I’d immediately pivot to other systems on your private network.
Why do the difficult thing of breaking out of a container when there’s a good chance I can use the credentials I got breaking in to your container to access other systems on your network?
- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 5 days ago:
Presuming you have not limited edge port 22 to one or two IPS and that you are not translating a high port to 22 internal, the danger is that you are allowing the entire internet to hammer away at your ssh. If you have this described setup, you will most definitely see the evidence of attempts to break in in your SSH endpoint and firewall logs.
Zero days for SSH do exist, so it’s just a matter of time before you’re compromised if you leave this open.

No it doesn’t. I’ve sold items to European buyers from my location in Canada.
We are now at the point where you are completely fabricating your responses, and therefore no productive outcome can be achieved here.
Have a better day.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 6 days ago:
Again, for the nth time, NO ONE IS ASKING FOR THAT. They are asking how flohmarkt works. YOU are (for some reason) insisting that we all want a centralized market.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 6 days ago:
I would say they are copying hyper-localized newspaper classifieds, including the hyper-localized aspect, which caused newspaper classifieds to stop being used by the overwhelming majority of people when alternatives like Craigslist, eBay, and even Facebook market came about.
Good reply, I was coming to that conclusion based on the same response from them on my example of buying from another area. It is very odd that anyone would place such limits on functionality on an internet-bound platform.
I’m having trouble understanding if this person is representative of flohmarkt or not, but either way, I don’t think they understand any of our questions or arguments.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 6 days ago:
You must be joking. Ebay does not now, nor has ever worked that way.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 6 days ago:
Come on.
but apparently people here in this comment thread think this is bad design 🙄
- Users ask questions about "How would this work?"
- You gave us answers that don’t seem to work for any of our use cases
- Eyeroll emoji cause the user is wrong, apparently
And on top of it, you are becoming belligerent to users insisting they don’t know what they’re talking about.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 6 days ago:
They are local listings for buying used stuff that that you might have not even have known you want before browsing the listing.
That is not how I nor anyone I know uses our listings on Kijiji. I go to look for specific things i don’t want to buy new. I do not browse used stuff for sale. I’ve personally bought motorbikes 600km away because the search area has to be bigger for more niche items. I also set up the sale of a car to a guy 1800km away via kijiji.
I couldn’t do either of these using flohmarkt, so it isn’t really useful to me, federated or not.
- Comment on Radicale - What am I supposed to do? 6 days ago:
No, not really.
I also had some issue figuring out how radicale works, bit now that I do have it setup, it “just works” and it does the job well.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 6 days ago:
I really don’t understand why that is so hard to grasp conceptually
That is quite clear from your insistence that you know what users want.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 6 days ago:
Decentralization is not the issue here. This is a design choice that doesn’t understand how the service will be used.
In the example of my country, Canada, let’s say I have two flohmarkt servers: east and west. To look for a certain make and model of car, I have to check my region first, then sign out, sign back into the other region?
Why would anyone continue to use this as a shopping mechanism?
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 6 days ago:
It"s one thing to limit searches bases on geographic location of items, but I should be able to change that to look up items at a destination to which I’m travelling, or just to compare to my area.
Plus, I might be more willing to travel farther to get a used car than a loveseat.
This is def bad design.
- Comment on Radicale - What am I supposed to do? 6 days ago:
Recommended method is run the service as non-root and non-reserved (over 1000). The radicale documents aren’t the best, but CalDAV and CarDAV aren’t the simplest standards to implement, nor do any of the big (ms, gmail) follow the correctly anyway.
For example, you have to manipulate an address book exported from Google before it can be imported into Radicale.
I don’t blame the dev, though. They are pretty much a one-man show and although radicale is a connector service you don’t interact with much, it’s crazy complicated.
- Comment on Reducing buffering when accessing Jellyfin via Tailscale 1 week ago:
- You might want to set an appropriate bitrate and video quality for transcoding for these users that works acceptably for their latency and bandwidth.
- The reason netflix, prime, Disney+, etc work as well as they do is because they have CDN peering, so your version of Game of Thrones comes from somewhere much closer to you in a network sense. You can change your tailscale relay, or you can lock down jellyfin to their ip and specific port and skip the tailscale (I don’t recommend it unless you know what you’re doing) and let routing tables help with latency.
- Comment on How to manage docker compose apps? 1 week ago:
I didn’t see ansible as a solution here, which I use. I run docker compose only. Each environment is backed up nightly and monitored. If a docker compose pull/up and then image clean breaks a service, I restore from a backup that works and see what went wrong.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Ah, I hear you, and sorry you had that experience. GUI controls of ZFS aren’t usually very intuitive.
Also, ZFS assumes it has direct access to the block device, and certain USB implementations (not UAS) use ~sync~ operations that sit between the HAL and userland somewhere. So ZFS likes direct-attached storage, it’s a caveat to be sure.
If you ever change your mind, klarasystems.com/zfs/ has a ton of reading and tutorials on ZFS.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
There’s no need to be a dick about it.
I meant no disrespect, I suppose I should have been more direct.
I asked about ZFS because it is not really that difficult to set up and there aren’t that many variables involved. You create a pool, then start using it. There isn’t much more to it.
Its not baked into the arch kernels so unless you’ve got your wits about you running updates can fuck everything up.
That is an arch problem, not ZFS. An update on Debian with ZFS would almost never behave like this.
I asked about virtualization because it would allow you to break things intentionally and flip back to a desired state, which seems to fit with your like of solving broken stuff.
So in the end, you’re obviously free to do what you like, and that’s the great thing about Linux. But you definitely seem to want to do things the hard way.
Have a better one.
- Comment on Security camera recommendations? 1 week ago:
2 reolink and 1 amcrest cameras, Frigate container with a coral tpu.
The reolink cameras have slightly better picture quality, but they are shit at compressing RTSP streams, so way more data flows to get the same result as the amcrest.

I didn’t downvote you, I’m genuinely curious what you mean about zfs being a “pig”.
