What’s the best way to author an epub today? I’d like to edit the xhtml directly, but am struggling with the conversion and packaging. I’m unhappy with the output from InDesign and Calibre.

Hey #LazyWeb, what’s the current thinking around long-term (monthslong) storage of laptops? Does one need to remove the battery?

Dear #LazyWeb#AskFedi: is there a secret I-am-not-in-California option to " #docker compose build" to not time out if a build step involving software downloads takes too long (like >5min)? All the waterfowl-wending I have done indicates that this is a widely struck issue often but not always caused by broken DNS, but that at the bottom of the rabbit hole there is a hardcoded limit.

The error I am getting is "context deadline exceeeded" which occurs while my container build is (slowly) fetching a compiler tarball from a CPU vendor.

is there an open source fitness tracker? i've been using fitbit for years, but with the looming forced migration into google health, i very much want an alternative.

i don't care about notifications or GPS. i've explicitly disabled both on any device i use. i just want a slim device that does sleep, heart rate, and step tracking. ideally with easily exportable data. super bonus if i can run everything locally.

Assuming I do not care about commit IDs (I want to rewrite history after all) is there a #git tool out there, that would let me do a git rebase but squish/bucket things by date?

Example:
- Anything older than a year, squash by month
- Anything older than a month squash by week

I am using git to watch changes to some files, but at some point, I do not care so much about detailed older history, only detailed recent history.

Hey, short film fans! I'm looking for short films (under 20 minutes) about caregivers and caregiving (of children, of elders, sandwich generation, etc.).

Do you know of any short films that fit this bill?

Let me know about the caregiver films you love. Thank you.

If I were looking for historical information (19th Century) about specific #Irish immigrants in Leeds County in Ontario, Canada does anyone know where I might start looking? Is information like this published online by the county or province or is this something that local libraries might be able to help with?

This is a #lazyweb question, but I'm inquiring for my aunt who has otherwise done a great deal of non-internet work on this over the past 20 yrs. Maybe more is digitized now?

I feel like I've asked the #lazyweb this before, but I apparently forgot to bookmark the answer... and it's come up again in my work....

Long, long ago OCLC had a date parsing library (written in Java) that was intended to handle all the various forms of dates found in MARC records. Does anybody remember the name of this or have a pointer for me?

Dear #lazyweb

Has anyone gotten Input Leap or a similar app running on a Raspberry Pi, and connected it to a Linux machine with Wayland?

I've tried many things, none of which work on both ends.

Thanks!

In November 1703, Rabbi Nieto gave a sermon at Bevis Marks synagogue in London that lead to accusations of heresy. I would like to read an English translation of this, but I am having trouble finding one. Does anyone know where this might be published(online or in some sort of publication that might be held by the British Library).

Hello #lazyweb: how to convert #microformat events into #ics?

e.g. https://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2FUnix-Freunde.mro.name%2F

Any recommendations for #privacy focused #email providers that will work with a local email client. I currently have #protonmail but I cannot install #protonbridge to use with my local email client. Any other recommendations?
