  • Its the only way I roll when it comes to ebooks

    Actually its the only thing I’d like to find in an open comic reader for iOS (iPad, my only iOS device, work bought it for me). Panels supports it (paid version), but I have yet to find an open source solution for iOS that does (for comics specifically).

    For android quite a few do out of the box. Definitely recommended.

    I’d also recommend checking out a server that uses it to try it out. Calibre-server supports it if you want to check it out.



  • I’m fine with keeping equipment in the rack if its secured, but I always remove the cabling. I personally don’t think people pay much attention to that part.

    I’d also put packing between devices. Since its all going in the uhaul, I wouldn’t personally feel the need to separate anything out of the rack, I’d probably leave it in and just check all my mounts are secure. I’d also make sure the rack is secured well in the uhaul, strapped in with a blanket between it and the wall.



  • @Tinnitus@lemmy.world, this is the answer.

    The important part is that its giving clean power to your hardware, and it only needs to last long enough to shut down nicely. Batteries in these units are usually just car or wheelchair batteries, so you can get them cheaper just as a regular battery too.

    You can also grab an older UPS with a crapped out battery for cheap and swap the battery. Last time I did that I got the UPS for $10 (local pickup) and put a new battery in for $20 from Lowes. Battery is still solid, its been about 5 years for that one.







  • Maybe it’s just to me, but liberal/national coalition and labor seem like the two major parties, green is barely at the table still.

    If you exclude the coalition, national has 4 times the representation of green, and liberal 3 times that.

    Just my opinion here, but it’s still two major parties, with the thirds coming up in ranks and getting some momentum going. It’ll be a good day imo when the greens overtake the nationals (and maybe one day the liberals), but I personally don’t see it as representative of the people yet. Improving, but still functionally two parties.
