To be honest, the explanation given in the screenshot makes sense. Whilst it’s frustrating, if the mods have had past problems with arguments over OSes (and there are dedicated subs for them), I can somewhat understand the reason for the rule.

61·3 months agoThat has to be Chaotic Evil.
I would probably put that as being similar to the “Chaotic Good” with ffmpeg.
If on Windows, there’s Irfanview and its batch processing.
It’s missing the “take a screenshot on your mobile phone” (which drives me nuts when people do this instead of sending me the link or the original photo).

We’re no longer living in a world where the only major cybersecurity threats are CCP-backed tech and Russian hackers.
You forgot that Windows gives you a simple error code to pass onto the support desk when it crashes! Linux, on the other hand… well, you have to dig through so many log files - who has time to read all those?
Definitely the latter.
This is one case where I think Windows is appropriately designed for its target audience.
Indeed! Covers most of the instances where I would otherwise have to use find.
Currently testing out Shiori. I have tried both it and Readeck on my Raspberry Pi 3B running 32-bit Raspbian ‘Bullseye’. From an installation and performance perspective, Shiori is easier: 32-bit binaries are available and its web interface is a bit more responsive. If you are not running a 64-bit version of the Raspberry Pi OS, you have to build Readeck yourself (which I successfully did).
The main attraction of Shiori over Readeck is that it has both a readable and archive view. The main downside for me is it lacks the read/unread feature of Readeck and Pocket (although that’s apparently something planned for future and in the meantime, it’s possible to workaround using tags).
Both have a browser extension to enable capturing pages that contain Javascript and do not gracefully degrade. Both also have an export-to-ebook function that may suit your e-reader.
Bottom line: if you have an RPi4 or later, then Readeck is probably want you want. If you’re running an older Pi, though, Shiori may be a better option.
