Without that last image for context, I would have assumed you stick the cork part into your butt and poop spaghetti out the other side.

I hope someone gives you a good answer, because I'd like one myself. My method has just been to do this stuff little by little. I would also recommend calibre web for interfacing instead of calibre. You can run both in docker, and access calibre on your server from whatever computer you happen to be on. I find centralizing collections makes the task of managing them at least more mentally manageable.

You might want to give an idea of the size of your library. What some people consider large, others might consider nothing much. If it is exceedingly large you're better off asking someplace with more data hoarders instead of a general Linux board.

Plenty of episodes where crew members get trapped in caverns where the transporter can't reach and they have to set up pattern enhancers. I would assume the miners are done ng just that, setting up pattern enhancers to increase range to whatever they're trying to get to.

It also makes sense that ships would have overpowered, top of the line transporters and replicators. At least the best ships. I would assume that there are different spec l, lower quality devices in use. This was my main takeaway from lower decks. We're used to seeing the best of the best on the enterprise. So yeah, if all of Starfleet was that good, both tech and people, they wouldn't have so many problems. But it evidently isn't.

Not a Texan, but back when you had to have a permit for concealed carry in Florida, they had wands and metal detectors, but you could just show the sheriff your CCW permit and you'd be allowed in. I assume that's what they do in Texas too. Not sure what they'll do now that you don't need a permit in Florida.

Who eats a cheese sandwich with ketchup? That's disgusting. Now peanut butter and cheese sandwich? Perfectly acceptable.

This is basically why people self host. Then your phone is really just a client to all your services.

Drawled Lucius Malfloy. I know at least half of you read it in that voice too.

I really like purelymail. I've had no problems, their billing is super simple and really cheap. The security options are nice and it doesn't want to sell me a VPN or share my files or any crap like that.

Shove a hunk of 2x4 down to the bottom too. Changes an irritating noise to a satisfying thunk.

Sometimes fridge doors sag because the bushings on the hinges break or deteriorate. I've fixed them before by adding washers in place of the bushings, or cutting a new bushing out of a hard plastic cutting board.

They're less lethal, not non lethal, and they're frequently used as an excuse to escalate violence needlessly. I'm very critical of the use of their use of force and would generally prefer police to be unarmed, but this is not a situation where I have any complaints. That threat needed to be neutralized as quickly and effectively as possible. Overwhelming force was the best way to do that.
