• Draft

  Because this book was published in 2007, it's likely that digitized newspapers were not as widely available as they are in 2023. Nonetheless, in the appendix it can be seen that she tables roughly 150 attacks from all types of breeds between 1864 and 1899. Roughly 10 of these attacks are attributed to bulldog-types. 10 attacks in 36 years doesn't sound that bad, right? Unfortunately, Delise is working with a... Source: about 1 year ago

• Journal of the Tantrik Order

  I was going to email this to RE but it came up with a pretty quick google search, and I thought other folks might be interested in it too. Its a copy of Vol. 5, No. 1 of the Journal of the Tantrick Order. I think this is the same one described by Robert in the latest episode. If anyone wants to look for more info, you could try searching the loc.gov website (it's down for me right now) or directly emailing a... Source: about 1 year ago

• If we lose the Internet Archive, we're screwed – The Statesman

  I wonder if there needs to be a cultural equivalent, where a repository of digital or physical artifacts is "too big to fail" because of the negative cultural impact their failure would have. Here it is: https://loc.gov. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• 3x new books added to the Pirate Library Mirror (+24TB, 3.8M books)

  Based on what's on ZLibrary, various formats, though principally PDF, ePub, Mobi (Kindle), DJVU (similar to PDF), FB2, and a few others. Most ebook readers (with the exception of Amazon's own Kindle reader) can read virtually all of these, some with extensions. E.g., FB Reader , PocketBook Reader , Onyx's Neoreader (BOOX) ...

• FOSS or privacy conscious ebook reading app (Mac/iOS)

  I came across FBReader which looks great in principal, but it uses a Google Drive account to sync with no other options. Also it's no longer OSS from 2015 (which wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me). Source: about 2 years ago

• I need a good Software to read epub

  I use FBreader on android and PC. It's insanely customizable. I sometimes use it it double-page layout, 'though I haven't tried comics. Source: about 2 years ago
