Where to find the Code-Op

Wow, thanks for the stickies! Love all the activity in this thread. I love our coding comrades!


Hey fellow Hexbearions! I have no idea what I'm doing! However, born out of the conversations in the comments of this little thing I posted the other day, I have created an org on GitHub that I think we can use to share, highlight, and collaborate on code and projects from comrades here and abroad.

  • I know we have several bots that float around this instance, and I've always wondered who maintains them and where their code is hosted. It would be cool to keep a fork of those bots in this org, for example.
  • I've already added a fork of @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net's Emoji repo as another example.
  • The projects don't need to be Hexbear or Lemmy related, either. I've moved my aPC-Json repo into the org just as an example, and intend to use the code written by @invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net to play around with adding ICS files to the repo.
  • We have numerous comrades looking at mainlining some flavor of Linux and bailing on windows, maybe we could create some collaborative documentation that helps onboard the Linux-curious.
  • I've been thinking a lot recently about leftist communication online and building community spaces, which will ultimately intersect with self-hosting. Documenting various tools and providing Docker Compose files to easily get people off and running could be useful.

I don't know a lot about GitHub Orgs, so I should get on that, I guess. That said, I'm open to all suggestions and input on how best to use this space I've created.

Also, I made (what I think is) a neat emblem for the whole thing:

Todos

  • Mirror repos to both GitHub and Codeberg
  • Create process for adding new repos to the mirror process
  • Create a more detailed profile README on GitHub.

Done

spoiler

  • ~~Recover from whatever this sickness is the dang kids gave me from daycare.~~

Wasn't sure if this was the right comm, but wanted to warn my fellow selfhosters.

Tldr: Booklore is in all likelihood vibe coded slop based on the maintainer's commit history.

Someone pointed this out on Reddit in the linked thread and provided examples of their other behavior toward contributors. Dev crashed out in Discord and started banning people, locking channels, saying forks are theft. Wild stuff.

If you're running Booklore, I'd urge you to switch to something else before this turns out to be another Huntarr situation. There are good alternatives suggested in that thread, but likely none of them that will have all the features you want.

I use Calibre Web Automated (which I suspect is also vibe coded to an extent considering the amount of features that get thrown at the wall in each new release) + Shelfmark because I need Kobo Sync and embedding metadata to file. A lot of the other suggested apps can do one or the other, but not both. Audiobookshelf can embed metadata to file, but since it isn't focused on ebooks, doesn't do Kobo Sync. Komga has great Kobo Sync, but only embeds to a database.

So I'm opening the floor to see other people's suggested setups for ebook storage and consumption also.

EDIT: The Booklore dev responded.

Harper also warns that embedding age verification at the device level could create new privacy risks. Because the system would broadcast a user's age category to apps that request it, critics argue it could introduce a persistent age-tracking layer across devices and online services.
