    I know you said “self hosted”, but if you are interested in an Android app, Google Play Books does most of what you want, I think. You can upload your books, and read them on any device (with offline capabilities). But this is the Self Hosted community, so I will show myself out.










  • I think you have a better chance if your instance focuses on a topic instead of being general purpose. That’s the reason I chose programming.dev. All communities there are related to programming so when I sort by “local” I see something interesting even though I haven’t subscribed to that community. And that increases my interaction with those communities.

    I don’t work much with Linux systems these days, but I would vote for $ sudo over #. Two reasons:

    1. It’s easy to overlook the prompt. That part is basically “some characters before the actual command”, so I don’t normally pay attention to it.
    2. # is also used for comments. I think it would be confusing to use the same character for two wildly different things.
