    See, I remember that from friends (our first was a little later, a 286 IBM that was pretty loud).

    BUT, my nostalgia comes from the sound of a server room. I ran a BBS as a teen, and later randomly visited all the startup ISPs in the area before one brought me on as employee #3. We started with shelves of external modems before moving to one rack, but when we were bought and those few times I went to real server rooms (and times since) were great. The organization, level sound, raised floors, love it.

    Surprisingly I still prefer quiet for my homelab, though.









  • doesn’t handle concurrency

    Kavita is multiuser, each with their own progress sync. https://wiki.kavitareader.com/getting-started/

    Now do tell, is it page 10 on a 5" 800x480 eink display with 48px font size and giant margins/lineheights/word paddings, or is it page 10 on a 13" display of 2480x1860 resolution with 11px font size and barely any margins

    Again, it’s a protocol and developer discression can be used. Page 10 could be word 10, or word 1000/avg 10 words = 10. PSE can be used to store progress, without needing to request the page because the eBook is local. It could be any API format.

    Sometimes the visual example doesn’t work well when describing math. So an alternate:

    Pick a number 1 - 10. 8. Correct and accurate.

    Pick a number 1 - 10. 3.1415926535. Uhh, precise, but not accurate.

    Or:

    Accurate is drilling the hole in the middle. Precise is picking the exact right size drill bit.
