Indeed, I was focusing mainly in the fact that there is not a easy solution to completely avoid this problem. Now indeed being able to mute, to ban or to “report” an user to his instance admin could be useful tools even if they are not the full solution.

Now Lemmy can implement anything but nothing could ever prevent blocked/muted user to create another account in order to continue harassment.

But it’s not specific to Lemmy and same with anything open on internet.

I think the only way to prevent such issue would be a system which would require to prove identity in some way in order to create a single account. But this is completely against the openness of a federated network.

With my Clara HD, I can upload with calibre but what I do more often is to convert epub to kobo specific one Kepubify. The reader can read regular epub but you don’t have book progression, meta data etc the same as with the kepub.

Then put the result on a local web server (even possible on android if you’re on the go). I then use the built-in kobo web browser (in beta menu) to browse and download the book.

Kobo Clara HD. Pretty old now (I bought it in 2018), but it still got updates. I’m very satisfied with it (well I’ve not tested any other). Perhaps the only drawback if I had to change would be to have some kind of physical button to turn pages, but with the configuration options that it have it’s really not necessary.

By chance, I’m doing more or less the same as you. I initially read lotr when I was ~15 yo (I’m nearly 40 now). I also read it in French those years ago but I’m rereading now the real thing in English. Loving it too.

Is it sorted in some way (preference?)?

Not sure it fits with what your son like but I think it’s around this age my own son started reading the Harry Potter series.

For notes I’m using Joplin with sync with desktop client through a nextcloud instance. Really a very nice app if you want sync with multiple devices anc user friendly interface.

For maps OsmAnd, I even pay a subscription to support the project (and have hourly updated maps which is pretty cool when I fix wood paths in openstreetmap).

Really happy with this fork, using it for several months now. Also occasionally Unexpected Keyboard for termux / ssh / code …

I use helium314/openboard on day to day basis, but the few times I use termux or have to ssh a linux box from my phone, unexpected keyboard is really awesome.

Yeah of course, it depends on the method and lot of things. Anyway, I agree with you, I’m happy with the content and the spirit of the users (less trolls and haters than on reddit or commercial social networks, more like the internet users I knew late 90s or beginning 2000s).

Exactly, this makes me very anxious. Feeling that we’re just cutting the branch we are sit on …

Definitely for osmand+, I think this is one of the best opensource app on Android (and the fact being openstreetmap based is a definitive plus because you can correct the map for benefit of the community).
