How do you live down finding out you were an actual real-life useful idiot. You have to go the rest of your life knowing another country sat down and had meetings about how stupid you are. They all got around a table and voted and said "Yeah they're fucking dumb, let's use them"

Toronto tenants fight rent increase, argue landlord is partially using it to cover redevelopment costs
Tenants of a Toronto apartment complex are fighting an application for an above-guideline increase to their rent, because nearly half of it is covering an environmental assessment that's typically used to help the landlord sell or redevelop the property.
The application was filed during the 2021 pandemic rent freeze for a 3.81 per cent AGI to cover roughly $647,000 in expenses from replacing a boiler, roof, paving and for "site remediation."
But according to records submitted in support of the application, it appears only about $26,800 of the $295,373.72 claimed for "site remediation" was spent on disposing contaminated soil found under the parking lot. That was in spite of an assessment finding that the soil wouldn't pose a health concern to residents, unless the property were redeveloped.
The remainder of expenses claimed as site remediation went toward the costs of a geo-environmental investigation and assessment of the site, according to engineering reports and invoices submitted with the application.
Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC), the Official Opposition in Canada’s parliament, is a bullshitter in the classic Harry G. Frankfurt sense of the term.
He’s been in non-stop campaign mode for many months now, spewing lies and inane slogans, tearing at the country. He was first elected to parliament in June 2004, over 20 years ago. He's a dangerous ideologue. Canada can’t afford to have him and his gang of regressive right wingers form a government.
It would be great if media would pay attention and offer an answer to what is NOT a rhetorical question.

It's not exactly a surprise that every single right wing talking point of the last several years was thought up in a Russian propaganda nest. It's nice that we're finally getting the (literal) receipts, however.
In any event, if you're a conservative and you're not in fact owned by Russians and/or so far down the well of sunk cost fallacy that you can't be bothered to haul yourself back out into the sunlight, then you know what to do with your vote this year.

Does anyone with a lot of experience with #Calibre want to take a crack at converting the #Debian reference (debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-…) to EPUB for me? :D
I'm a bit overwhelmed at the options XD
Also: source: salsa.debian.org/debian/debian…
Package: packages.debian.org/debian-ref…
Other formats (txt, pdf): debian.org/doc/user-manuals#qu…
(Also, MOBI would be fine. Just something that would work well on an e-reader. Conversion from PDF is doable, of course, but iffy.)
Well, today is the first #BandcampFriday in months. If you're looking for some great music to spend money on, may I humbly suggest you take a look at my Other People's Music archive? More than 100 artists covered, nearly all on #Bandcamp!

in reply to Amin Hollon 🏳 • • •Ohhh this could be handy: w3.org/Tools/man2html.html
And once you have HTML getting an epub is comparitively trivial. I think htmlpub can do html-to-epub conversion.

No, I haven't been able to find one.
I do have a link to the source files in the OP, but I think it's either TeX or XML. :/

I've alredy converted it now.
I just grabbed the source and ran "make epub" 😆

in reply to R. L. Dane • • •El manual de Debian (Referencia de Debian), lo puedes instalar tu mismo en tu equipo Debian mediante el comando:
sudo apt -y install debian-reference-es
Installing: Debian system administration guide, Spanish translation
Esto deja en tu equipo los ficheros con la documentacion.
Y además en la ruta /usr/share/debian-reference/index.es.html el manual pero en formato HTML.
Edito el toot: Ya no viene internamente el fichero .epub
Sin embargo puedes descargarlo de mi publicación:

I did, but the images didn't get imported. Fortunately, the images are just little tiny icons (48x48 pix is the largest) that aren't all that prevalent or important.

Unknown parent • • •This did work, but for some reason, Calibre didn't import the images.
Here's what I ended up with:

P.S. Was able to add the images directly by just adding them to calibre's zip file, ha!
Uploaded the new version to the same URL above.

I managed to convert it from zipped HTML to epub with calibre, although using the official source would make the formatting a little bit nicer.
I'll have to see if I can figure out how that process works. I've never 'make'-ed a book before. ^__^
