I feel like there should be a law to release the bits we need to support these efforts.
Too many times a product will die or a company will fold along with all its documentation.
Maybe release a final firmware opening up a product. Or at the very least a git repo with api documentation.
Yeah that’s a solid recap.
I now possess the knowledge about generating power to life off the grid using old motors salvaged from a junkyard thanks to my own personal research and video tutorials.
My intent with bringing that up is the hope of the existence of a document covering this topic in a preppers backup.
In a post apocalyptic scenario humanity has been proven to band together in groups and cooperate to survive. It’s less murder/greed and more sharing/helping. In these small groups it would only take one prepper or even an engineer to setup a generator or even just get solar panels to hookup for basic electricity.
Many of these points could be moot in a nuclear scenario where were dealing with EMPs and radiation.
Yeah my first thought was wondering what community projects exist to generate a guide to download all this info. I knew you could download all of Wikipedia but not the rest.
I’ve seen people make power generators using old washing machine motors. Youtube is full of them. Cutting PVC pipes to make wind ones and even water based ones off of rivers.
I feel like some people would figure out basic electrical grids for led lights in homes at night and possibly a battery bank made of car batteries or something.
Getting a laptop working in that environment wouldn’t be too far of a stretch. Just need to find an old brother laser printer and a Linux USB and you’re golden.
Print off the critical farming/water treatment stuff you need and power it off.

Good to note
Agreed. Website works perfectly fine on mobile.
You can even take the website and “add to homepage” on android effectively making it a webapp.
I don’t know why people install apps…
Yeah I saw this posted last night.
I was pleasantly shocked!
I still have 2 netbooks… Both with cracked screens haha
They have physical locations too. I’m on the east coast so they’re not as popular here. Major city though.
Used to have like 6 locations but they’re down to 2 now that I know of in my state.
You can also just aim for local shops instead of chains.
Petes is soooo much better.
Yep. I remember the news article calling him out for not wanting to move and taking a private jet to work instead.
No repercussions at all. People are shocked when he actually did the things he said??
OMG same here man… I thought the first few were cool when they just came out.
I actually hop around a few sites just to read comments on episodes so this is extremely valid.
If you want simplicity I recommend skipping all self hosted solutions. You can set mihon to download X chapters ahead for offline reading and delete chapters as you read. On a kindle I’d recommend save as archive and/or cut tall images (webtoons).
Ebooks take no space.
Stick to calibre on your computer and transfer via netshare using a file browser (android: solid explorer) to copy stuff over. That’s what I do.
Mihon is the successor to takiyomi. It’s a manga website scrapper. But it also supports some self hosted solutions for reading across devices.
Make sure to add this special repo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keiyoushi/extensions/repo/index.min.json

It really sounds like you’re trying to setup a centralized solution for media consumption and I might be confusing you with my recommendations.
I read on only one device so this works for me. Mihon supports self hosted solutions. ReadEra is just a nice reading client. I manage it with a file explorer and netshare (Solid explorer)
I second this setup.
I have 3 ONN sticks and they do the job. Great for the price. Just sideload Kodi, new launcher, remap buttons.
I even paid for button mapper. Totally worth it.
Well it’s two situations. Look at Google dropping the older Nests. There you can lay in a fine.
For the folding company could make it part of declaring bankruptcy. Standard paperwork.
Either release all your source or prep the needful. Once this is common and expected could even force companies to maintain a public branch to release on cue.
Owning IP is fine. Products ending up in a landfill due to software is not.
Hopefully the law also expands to actually owning all of a product you own. Not paying BMW to unlock the heated seats already in the car you fully paid for.
