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: https://archive.org/services/loans/loan/?action=media_url&identifier=<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!

* snoot
* squeaker (select models only)
* leggies
* peets
* tum
* and most importantly, bum

Huge kudos to the PSF for standing on principle and making a difficult decision.
> "Ultimately, however, the value of the work and the size of the grant were not more important than practicing our values and retaining the freedom to support every part of our community. The PSF Board voted unanimously to withdraw our application."
With so many orgs going "no politics" or straight up obsequiousness to those in power, #Python stewards and community continue to impress.

I was just looking at my webserver logs while sipping coffee (as one does) and I noticed that one of my websites was receiving requests for a js file which I had prototyped but never actually deployed.
The script tag is present in the page, but it's commented out. I investigated, and it seems that scrapers see that tag and are trying to grab it even though it's completely non-functional. I guess they just want every bit of code they can find to help train an LLM.
This seems like a promising pattern for catching scrapers that pretend to be normal browsers.

terfs, call for help with counter-protest, London, November 1st
📢 COMRADES NEEDED NEXT SATURDAY 📢
On the 1st of November, TERFs are gathering in London to mandate legal enforcement of the wildly transphobic UK Supreme court interpretation to the Equality Act
Why does this demo matter specifically❓
In the UK is at an all time high, and violence against trans people is on the rise. This will be the first demo by this TERF group in months. We need to show them that their hate is not welcome in London, nor anywhere in this country.
📍 WHERE IS IT? 📍
Victoria Embankment Parks
Fleet Air Arm Memorial
SW1A 2EX
⏰ WHEN IS IT? 🗓️
Please be there by 12pm on the day
We won't move off immediately, but please allow time to form up a bloc.
Safety:
There will be people on Welfare, and multiple medics.
Wear a mask, and drink plenty of water.
Try to bring a friend, and leave with someone else.
Please share this graphic and forward this message to comrades. Join this groupchat if you intend on coming.

This is your reminder that if a food pantry would help you, you should definitely go to one.
Food pantries, like libraries, keep numbers of how many people they help. Numbers help them get funding. You are not taking from anyone; you are helping the food pantry exist.

Shouldn’t need to say this but apparently anti-transmasc shit is going around
Trans men are men
Trans men are wonderful
Support and cherish trans men in our community, as well as transmasc non-binary people
If you are against transmasc people, fuck off
Edit: if you are gonna reply to this attempting to insinuate I’m somehow being sexist to transfems or anything like that, recognize I am transfem and I personally have seen people in trans communities talk shit about transmascs in multiple communities on the internet. I’m not entertaining discussion on “who is saying this” because it has been a problem that has repeated. I’m done.
Heck with it, I'm gonna write the most absurd crackfic based on this dream.

Silksong act 2
What if Vog called Malt "flea-not-bug" like she calls Hornet "bug-not-flea"
This might be partially fueled by the time I dreamt that Malt woke up in Pharloom and Hornet mistook him for a flea
The Knight powers the soul cannon by just firing a vengeful spirit into the chamber. Goes to refill their soul on Berman infantry. Life is good.
Last night I discovered Hollow Knight's fans have a bug tank AU, but my brain immediately went to the idea of the bugs of Hallownest stealing a military tank. Or the Taranis.
You know those anime energy drinks?
Team Cherry should get in on that to sell flea brew in a nice citrus flavour

Today's nightmare is that I need about $340 before the end of today or my storage unit goes to auction.
If you've been following at home, my ex still has their things stored in the shared storage space and refuses to cooperate with paying their fair share, collecting their things or just being you know a reasonable person.
Anywho, its still in my best interest in court to keep paying for this crap despite them not cooperating
And frankly I can't afford this continuing abuse.
