I have the older scribe too! Jailbreaking is pretty foolproof these days, I even got one of the steps wrong and nothing happened. I’m going to install the reader for jaolbroken Kindles that’ll ready any format of ebook. I haven’t read in a long time, but I’m trying to read financial books. I’m pretty far behind where I should be in terms of retirement, so I need to speed things up and think out good financial plan since things are going down here in the US. Time is limited for me rhough between my job and helping raise two kiddos.
Great idea with the Linux server! I have a home lab that consists of a Synology NAS with 42 TB of storage and a Ubuntu server that has a ton of things, mostly revolving around video streaming and…“acquiring” shows and movies and music that set up through sonarr, radar, lidarr, and a few other services. The only other thing that’s noticeable on there is a Minecraft server for my kid and I to play in. I’m just barely dabbling with jellyfin but mostly use Plex.
I’ll keep that in mind about jailbreaking! I think you’re talking about KOReader? I think it’s pretty good software, though I’m going to try to the Kobo’s regular one before I install that one. with a Kobo, you don’t have to jailbreak anything, they just let you do it, hahaha. they also let you sideload books, fonts, and screensavers, and I’m looking forward to customizing it.
oh wow! I only have 10tb (it’s actually two 10tb in a RAID 1 configuration) but I don’t watch too much, I’m really picky about my movies and anime. and I mostly get my things the same way, though I’ve started to buy my books from different places and removing the DRM so I can store it on my server. I really want authors to get paid, as someone who aspired to be one for a long time. and I want them to know people are interested in their books so that they keep writing.
I actually have three servers. I have a Raspberry Pi 4 (not running much besides Adguard Home and a dashboard, but I like having it), a Synology NAS, and then an Intel NUC that runs everything and I just use the NAS for storage. I’ve really enjoyed learning about selfhosting even though I didn’t start off knowing much about it, and I’m a slow learner.
I hope you and your kid are enjoying that Minecraft server! I would’ve loved that as a kid.
