Ayy Moonreader+, I use that one too. So responsive.

For downloading, I use Readarr or manually download from where I buy the books. A lot of the time the books I buy have DRM so I end up pirating them anyway 🤷. When readarr sends a book to calibre, it tells it to convert it so I’ve always got epub and mobi available.

For accessing my library, I use calibre-server, which I think comes bundled with the calibre desktop app. It’s got a basic web interface for uploading, editing some metadata, and downloading; and an OPDS API which my e-reader can use to download books. If I’m outside my home network I use my VPN to access it because I don’t trust calibre to be secure enough for internet exposure lol.

Don’t recall why I chose this instead of calibre-web but it works fine for my purposes. I don’t read comics though.

The support person even said they don’t see any queries in the logs, you’d think that would be a clue to send the logs including queries.

Common sense would surely say that becoming a for-profit company or whatever they did would mean they’ve breached that law. I assume they figured out a way around it or I’ve misunderstood something though.

tealdeer takes up 3.7MB on my system. It’s a rust implementation of tldr - simplified man pages with practical examples. If I want to do some common thing with a program I don’t use very often, chances are I can type (e.g.) tldr kill and it’ll tell me what I need to know.

From what I understand, iPhones will downclock themselves when the battery degrades to make a charge last longer and prevent crashes. So your slow phones might have been fixable with a new battery.
