So you like copyrighted tentacle pork and went to HS in '97, eh?
Sorry just kidding. In all seriousness: This is a wonderful explanation on internet privacy nowadays, but I don't know if TOR should be trusted. Surely we've all read some time that some nodes are under control of bad states and other bad actors who use those nodes to put some malicious payload into your traffic, right? But luckily, I personally don't see the need to use TOR rn.
Looks like an interesting project, but I don't want to burden my cheap android tablet with containerization.
I might consider this, but for now I'll try to get away from Tolino and anything run by Roku.
I've taken a look at Kavita, it does look interesting. In the past hours I tried a few apps, and found one with which I can continue reading.
I'll try to look out for niche stores in the future, thanks for the hints.
I haven't until now, if I do I'll limit it to my LAN, I don't like having too much exposed to the web.
Good day everyone,
I'm being denied access to my ebooks by my provider, which is Tolino.
Back then I chose Tolino because it offered many means to access my books without having to bring along a bookshelf everyhwhere I went. Unfortunately it escaped my attention that Tolino was acquired by - drumroll - Roku. Since then it seems they enshittified the android app. As long as my device is connected to a VPN the app says "no internet connection" and won't let me access anything. As soon as I disable my VPN it works normally. Yeah, that's unacceptable.
Do you guys know a way to pull my books?
Further, can you recommend me fair ebook provider? Google Books apparently works, but for one Google is known to shut down popular services without further notice and, well, it's Google.
zlibrary isn't really an option, because it doesn't have the works I'd like to read in my preferred language.
It certainly makes sense to keep the name to help people find what they are looking for.
Even if in this case the contributors decide to not change the name, maybe a redirect or "formerly known as" function for magazines would make sense in the future.
I always wondered where that awful name came from, and why it gained so much traction. Thank you for this helpful internet history lesson.
However, since this name was born from discord (not the app obviously) and we're regrouping on another network, why not give it a new name and leave the stale history behind?
