Really nice to see the 'plumbing' mindset catching on. When the parallels to real-world utility work were first pointed out a lot of people were resistant to it because they felt insulted to have their high technology work compared to dirty low technology.

That's a shame. Plumbing is an essential and frankly civilization-changing technology

Indeed. It's always amazing to me when I think about the incredible applications of running water and plumbing in ancient Rome that was effectively lost for so many centuries starting with the dark ages.

On this side of the world it's 5.18.19 and yet $19 bucks for the book. Also did not ask for an email, so in essence, I have no words.

It's 5.18.19 on the side I'm on too.... did something happen recently that reduced the price of knowledge?

I looked at the table of contents and I am guessing it has many handy tricks and command line examples of already public tools. Doesn't look like its should be as costly as 19$. Would you like to bring it down to one-digit costs ?

If you want it today, it's $0 if you go here: https://gumroad.com/l/the_cyber_plumbers_handbook/hackernews...

I'm still trying to find a fair price for it, not ready to bring it down to single digits just yet.

Looks great, thanks for sharing. Any plan to make an epub available? I’d love to read it on an e-ink display.

Haven't had too many requests for that yet. Do you have any recommendations for creating an epub file? The book was written in LaTeX with VS Code. I worry that a lot of the command line stuff and images wouldn't look good on a reader.

Was it not showing $0 for you pests? Just want to make sure I'm not hitting some threshold with Gumroad...coming up on 2000 copies requested!

Sigil maybe? https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil

Other than that, this StackExchange discussion has some interesting ways to achieve it: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/16569/latex-document...
