  • What is a small .EPUB reader that is easy to install for my small Puppy remaster?

    My question is basically the title. I'm making my own Puppy Linux remaster and it already has a .PDF reader for it that is very small. I think it's called Evince? It has a native GTK UI and starts in a second, uses very little RAM and CPU. Now I need a .EPUB reader. I've seen a couple different .EPUB reader apps out there for different distros, and they all the .EPUB readers seem to fall into a couple categories:

    • humongous JS monstrosity that runs inside a web browser OR packages an entire chrome copy into it with a bloated dependency hell

    • something else that is humongous and has dependency hell but non secretly a massive web app inside a web browser under the hood.

    So is there some third option that's small and light and easy to install like the normal .PDF reader? I'm just asking because I honestly didn't find one that fit the bill.

  • Does anyone know how to locally archive the twitter account of a dead person?

    As everyone eventually will as the internet gets older, I know a few dead people. Obviously I don't have access to their account, I can just see their tweets and photos that they left public. I have tried to archive them using www.archive.is which does correctly archive what it can see at the users account, but obviously twitter will not load the entire account history at first, you gotta keep manually scrolling down to load more and more and more of their posts through the years. Of course www.archive.is also won't open all their photos and manually download those either. Does there exist some tool that would download whole public twitter accounts in the way I describe? When I google it all I get are ways for you to download something from within your own account.

    Does anyone know how to make a iPod Nano gen 3 (Pink) to work with Linux Mint?

    This is actually a problem with all iPods it seems, but I can't get any of them to work on Linux Mint, or any distro. There are literally programs on the repos for working with iPods that show up if you search "iPod" and none of them actually with the four iPods I was recently given. The most popular one google results reccomend is GTKpod, and GTKpod has a helpful seems that seems to let you actually pick and choose which one you are connecting, even by color, because I guess that matters. On every iPod I've tried on GTKpod on Linux Mint and on Manjaro, none work. All either just silently hang with no error message or spit out a slew of different error messages. The one I'm trying to make it work with the most is the iPod Nano Gen 3 Pink because I want to give it away as a gift to someone with a Linux Mint computer. But nothing seems to work with them. Does anyone know what's up with that?

    Is there a blogging service that gives you hits/stats information similar to blogger.com?

    So lots of folks are wary of anything owned by google so I'll just give a quick summary. In your dashboard of blogger.com you can find stats for your blog. This does not let you really spy on your users (good!) but it does basically tell if people are actually bothering to read what you write or not. It'll show you little graphs with that can show you that maybe a bunch of Android phones with Google Chrome read your post from last week on Friday, or that a couple Gnu-Linux computer users looked at one post you wrote from 2010 on Saturday. It's pretty useful for showing me if something actually gets read or not, without me being able to track individual users and the readers don't have to make an account.

    And this is good, but you have to sign your soul over to the dreaded google monolith for it. Do any other blogging services have something like this?

    If you make a lemmy, and the your admin bans you, what happens to it?

    Lets say I have an account on lemmy server A, and with my account I make a lemmy community. Some people post in it. Everything is cool. But for whatever reason the admin/owner of the lemmy server your lemmy community is on decides to ban you. What happens to the community you made? How does the lemmy software respond to it? Does your community get banned with you? Or does the community just get stuck without any admin and people can still post in it?

    What is a high protein, high fiber, AND portable food?

    Two things make you feel less hungry, longer. And that's fiber and protein. So what's something portable like an apple that I could buy a lot of and eat at work or whatever? Like I could buy a lot of apples and eat them anywhere, and while they have fiber they don't really have protein.
