What's happening on your servers? Any interesting news things you tried?

I didn't do anyone other than updating Mastodon (native deployment) lately due to a lack of time. Reading so much about Immich caused me to consider trying it in parallel to Nextcloud but I'm not sure if I want to have everything twice.

Not quite homelab, but I'm about to install Linux Mint on my mom's laptop and that had me thinking about creating an off-site backup in her place again since she has a fiber connection. I'm still not sure about the potential design though, but currently my only backup is in the same rack as the live stuff.

I'll have a look at Calibre Web Automated, thanks :)

I've set up wireless access to my Windows Calibre library but I thought the device needed to be physically connected first? I'm realising that I might be thinking of a different program though.

Not every device supports it, but you can download books via OPDS, which Calibre supports natively. I run KOReader on my Tolino and it works great with it

That's how I've currently got my phone and Fire tablet working, KOReader to Calibre over wifi, it's the initial setup that I couldn't remember.

I meant to check last night, but didn't get a chance. More playing and tweaking needed tonight 😁

I also switched to that, used sync thing before. Super glad I can still use my old Tolino despite the broken USB port (charging works)
