Calibre Server on Linux

Calibre Server on Linux

Introduction

Calibre is a powerful cross-platform, open source, ebook manager and editing platform. Its calibre-server component can be used to publish an e-book library on a local network. While you can launch calibre-server as a desktop application, it can also be run as a daemon on a headless Linux server.

This tutorial on setting up calibre-server using Ubuntu 14.04 is very good, but dated.

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016
