This is explaining the difference between Calibre and Calibre-Web.
The person you replied to asked what the connection is between “Calibre-Web” and “Calibre-Web Automated”
- Comment on Why isn't Mbin more popular? 2 days ago:
Lemmy and Piefed are much more 1:1 reddit replacements. Mbin is it’s own thing, which is very high quality, but has less out of the box appeal to someone looking for “fediverse reddit”.

If they had gone with my plan of 24 seasons of 24 episodes each then there would have been plenty of room for both!
It’s an objectively better plan I don’t understand why they didn’t listen to me

Ohhh I totally misread your comment. Whew!

It will be attacked
If it’s not then it’s not living up to the Star Trek name IMO!

Dang the musical episode was a major highlight for me 🤷♂️

I am glad I had the advanced wisdom and intellect to recognize and correct for the error.
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 1 week ago:
The LinkedIn-styled writing here is hard for me to get through, but I think the general gist is that for profit platforms are easier to onboard which I agree with. This line stands out:
And what do we get in return? A worse experience than cloud-based services.
I have to disagree somewhat, it’s a different experience that is absolutely more difficult in many ways, but for those of us who value privacy, control over our data, and don’t like ads, the trade-off is worth it. Also it goes without saying that the usability of selfhosted apps has exploded in the past few years and it will likely become less and less of an issue.
- Comment on I love Lemmy 1 week ago:
Fortunately “groupthink” on the fediverse isn’t a structural problem since nobody controls all instances and every instance has different moderation styles.

- Comment on How come Lemmy rarely shows up in internet search results? 2 weeks ago:
I also noticed that when Lemmy links do appear it’s often to a random federated instance, not the original source.
- Comment on What are the best single episodes to show people new to Trek? 2 weeks ago:
TNG is the gateway drug
- Comment on What are the best single episodes to show people new to Trek? 2 weeks ago:
There is some back story needed with that one… but maybe it’s tangential enough to make the viewer want to know more?

Devil’s Due
If this was the only episode of Star Trek I’d ever seen I’d have no interest in continuing 😅
I actually think “Inner Light” is a good option for OP because is a “side quest” that doesn’t require much backstory, while still being thematically aligned with what to expect with TNG.

No one person can control everything.
Doesn’t seem to be stopping you from trying!
- Comment on so... dubvee and dubvee tesseract shut down. 2 weeks ago:
Eh, I think you’re projecting. He literally owned his instance. He was playing with his own ball at his own house and you got “butthurt” because he didn’t want to play with you.
It’s no secret that a lot of people are attracted to Lemmy because they felt Reddit mods were too overbearing, but some of us like Lemmy because we didn’t think Reddit mods were doing enough about the overbearing users.
- Comment on so... dubvee and dubvee tesseract shut down. 2 weeks ago:
He said “this” experiment, not “the fediverse” which I interpreted to mean his instance (or perhaps Lemmy).
That said, I’m honestly curious what do you care about his “toxicty” if he’s not an admin of your instance? You don’t seriously believe you have a right to dictate what he does with his own hardware do you?
- Comment on so... dubvee and dubvee tesseract shut down. 2 weeks ago:
I’m glad we agree.
- Comment on so... dubvee and dubvee tesseract shut down. 2 weeks ago:
What did you interpret the premise to be? I read the post when it was up, and it read to me like OP was saying essentially that too many toxic users and not enough admins willing to stand up to them make the overall experience not fun.
- Comment on so... dubvee and dubvee tesseract shut down. 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like a major perk of that instance to me.
- Comment on Just a silly little GIF( 2 weeks ago:
I wanted a very 90s web-feeling GIF of a TOS science division badge
Then I’d consider this silly little guy a success.
- Comment on Home server advice 2 weeks ago:
Using recycled parts is the best advice. As you said, it’s almost certainly overkill and the price can’t be beat.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Hilarious that that account’s made a single comment pushing back on classic lemmy hysteria/paranoia and then apparently left the platform.
- Comment on Take a deep breath and think about it 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but not by definition. Posting slop and spam is different than shitposting. This post is just slop.
- Comment on Take a deep breath and think about it 3 weeks ago:
“Shitposting” describes the act, not the content. Posting content “that took little to no effort” to produce is just spam. It doesn’t matter if a human made it or not.
