    Sorry for my crappy phrasing! I mean in the current building spree for AI, not in general.

    You must have a newer kindle. Koreader was basically my best bet once mine (2012 vintage) stopped being supported by Amazon. Native epub support plus other goodies. I’m sure you’re…

    Just a personal blog, and I have to admit it had a misconfiguration that was my fault - nonexistent urls would redirect to the index. Still, dumb scraper bots would 1) not realize …

    Depending on those vaunted “security researchers” to take point and find all vulnerabilities in all packages is also fairly naive. That process costs money and produces a fairly va…
