Convert the book to its existing format in Calibre. To do so, right-click it, select convert, convert individually. Make sure that on the top left and top right, both formats are the same (e.g. EPUB).

  1. Then on the left select "Look and Feel".
  2. On the top row, select "Styling",
  3. Put a checkmark at the bottom right option where it says "Color".
  4. Press OK.
  5. After the book finished converting, right-click it and send it to the device, as usual.

This made the font an easy-to-read black, instead of a light-gray nightmare.

I'm a billionaire. I have my own private island that floats above the world and I can also teleport anywhere in an instant and open portals into other dimensions. And I have a pet dragon named Sparkles.

Nothing would surprise me these days after seeing a Skyrim mod with an AI companion you can talk to.

Interesting, but I'm confused how it can be applied to piracy.

Thanks to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/ober found that ipleak.net can be used to check if you VPN is leaking your IP before proceeding with torrenting.

And also using Qbittorrent to tie the client to the VPN by going to Tools > Preferences > Advanced and changing network interface to your VPN.

It's been difficult to catch jokes with the amount of people that have still continued to have the old views of social media sites like reddit due to not understanding that people aren't locked to instances they signed up to thinking it is a singular authority. So my mistake.

Umm..... What did you think the point of mods on reddit was? The mods we chose to support and followed here to lemmy and kept the community on track?

And you know you can just lurk on here and can use another instance that better fits your idea of the type of conversations you want. There's nothing keeping you from making an account on exploding heads and chatting away with them. You can multiple accounts you know.

Pirates adapt or die. So at the very least you have increased your chances of survival. Don't know if sharks will eat you though.

Noticed there's a lot of geeky people on lemmy, and so many seem to be using stuff like linux in threads asking what OS do you use. Which is definitely a big outlier from the average user. So seems like even if the numbers aren't high that there's a lot of people who can provide tech support to dumb people like me.

Some people here are saying i2p may be the future https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/259433 Sounds like Qbittorrent is planning to provide i2p support too. So hopefully port forwarding won't matter as much for future releases.

x265 because I like the file size and am satisfied with the quality.

Some names I had seen mentioned are TERMINAL and SWTYBLZ. But, I SWTYBLZ is gone now ๐Ÿ™ since they were RARBG release group.

I liked the rarbg one in the past, but RIP to it. 1337 works, but Torrent Galaxy one hasn't been working for me.

If the community is as important to the users as you believe them to be then those who truly do value the resources of the community will move.

I value the resources of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH and /r/piracy over the years so much that I came to lemmy. I didn't see /r/piracy's initial plans to do an indefinite shutdown as something that would hurt me, but something I fully supported and was more than happy to join them on lemmy to find a new home.

Reddit was why I found communities like those two, but reddit was not what I needed for them to always have to be on. Those who don't feel the same will just run off to whatever other piracy resource is there regardless of whether mods or removed or different.

So I guess what I'm trying to say as one of the regular people is you don't need to worry so much about hurting us.

I've relied on this mega thread for a long time.

Are there any tips to see check if VPN isn't leaking anything when torrenting? Mullvad used to let you check with a magnet link they provided before they got rid of it.
