You can use dedrm plugin in calibre to remove the DRM on your ebooks. You just need to download them on your computer, like using an old version of kindle.

If you want to buy more recent ebooks, as someone else said, the DRM cannot be removed now, so you should download them from kobo if you want to still be able to download and remove DRM.

Yeah, sure, at a really slower pace than USA. Maybe in a century. They still care more for their citizens Trump ever did.

Can’t say anything for professional use, but debian is rock solid, always a strong choice for servers.

Thanks for the pointers. For the hardware, I have a 9070 XT with 16 Gb of VRAM. It’s sure that it can be very expensive. As I only do this as a hobby, I don’t want to pay that amount of money. I’m okay with having a slow llm as it wouldn’t be a tool I’d use often. I prefer to try doing things on my own and use the ai to help for little tasks first, such as checking why this one line of code didn’t want to work correctly or things like that.

Thanks, I’ll dig into this. BTW, I have a 9070 XT, with 16 Gb VRAM, so it should do the job I guess.

Personally, I would like to use AI, but I don’t due to it being non local. I know there are local AI that could do things, but I don’t know which models are the good one for each task. If someone can give me pointers for it, I’d be grateful, for exemple a good model for local coding :)
