Hey everyone, want to borrow ebooks from archive.org on YOUR terms? 

Here's a method I came up with using Calibre, on all platforms where it's supported.

1. Install the DeACSM and DeDRM plugins into Calibre
2. In the plugin preferences, configure DeACSM and set up anonymous authorization, then export the encryption key and import it into DeDRM's ADE keys
3. Restart Calibre! This is important!
4. On archive.org, find the book you want to borrow and loan it out
5a. If you can borrow it for two weeks, do that and download it in the format you prefer
5b. If you can only borrow it for an hour or it doesn't give you a download, borrow it anyway, then copy the identifier in the metadata, add it to the following URL: archive.org/services/loans/loa<IDENTIFIER GOES HERE>&format=pdf&redirect=1 and download that (you can also change the format to epub or similar but it may not always be available)
6. Add the ACSM file to Calibre and it'll download it and then decrypt it for you
7. Be sure to return the book so other people can use it right away!

Happy reading!

homestar runner is right, we should go back to websites on computers with scrolling to the end of pages and sitemaps

This is your random reminder adding a CW on distressing current affairs (especially if that isn't your main jam) helps protect people who need to shelter their psyches on bad days.

I'm getting a lot of difficult stuff just popping up in my feed today. It's hard yo. I'm not in a place where I can hold space for that today.

Consent is sexy.
Consent is kindness.
Consent is care for the vulnerable.
Give me space to consent to what my soul is exposed to and when.

You wonderful souls saved my friend Autumn from eviction a few months ago, she's a trans woman on disability & her roommate screwed her & their other roommates for months on rent. They're just under halfway to their goal to break the lease & get into a lower cost place away from that abusive roommate!

So what happens when you turn on your Sentinel 65X board?

First up, the CPU boots up. This is complex compared to the plain W65C816S, but the short version is that it begins clocked by the 32KHz timer oscillator. It then probes the ROM, looking for the string "WDC" at 0x008000; if it finds it, it jumps to 0x008004 and that lets the ROM take over. Otherwise, it switches to the ~1.8MHz clock, and calls the ROM monitor, which uses the serial port for I/O.

The system ROM is supposed to take over, and instead switch to the 8MHz clock.

Meanwhile, the FPGA loads its bitstream from the serial flash ROM, and becomes the VERA, outputting 640x480 256 colour video. Once that's done, it pulls the CDONE output high, which goes to some logic that moves the select output from the serial flash ROM to the SD card port, thus enabling hardware-accelerated SPI for SD card access.

I need more comfy furry games like Solatorobo. Overarching plot is fine, but sometimes I just wanna go through picturesque cities and help people with whatever interesting stuff pops up in their life

I’m Nata - book illustrator and artist drawn to dark, gothic themes. In love with Victorian vibes, vampires, and poisons. I’m an avid reader. I come from a small seaside town in Crimea,but the war first took me to Kyiv, and now I’ve found refuge in Valencia, Spain. Here by the sea, under the sun, I’m slowly healing, recovering my mind and spirit. I’ve always loved Spain -and I’m happy to be here. I’ve picked up my paints again, and I’ll be sharing my art with you

Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

disassembly is second nature to us reversers, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the basics of the win32 api and one or two instruction sets

...and x86 calling conventions, of course
