  • The GitHub page says it’s no longer developed to protest Google’s decision against unverified app installs on Android (that has since been backtracked into a “mere” dark pattern but most likely will be reintroduced at a better time in the news cycle).

    Since Kotatsu is a scraper that manga hosters don’t actively support (they would rather you use the bloated webpage or their app with ads), it’s likely that most sources will change their API or website layout enough to break it in a couple of years.


  • Look up “homemade Dubai lamps” or as Big Clive likes to call them, “Dooby lamps”. Basically decrease the power by 30% or more by replacing or removing one of current-sense resistors to get a many times longer lifespan. Very easy with lamps that have a linear regulator on the LED board; ones that have a switching regulator inside need to be disassembled further than just popping off the plastic globe (preferrably by milling into the housing from the SMD side of the board because that doesn’t disrupt the thermal design of the LED board). With the latter approach, I can also fix another common issue: the input inductor going open circuit, usually indicated by flashing and a burned-out bypass resistor (most often 4k7 or “472”) − I just short it, I don’t care about the little extra interference if it mskes the bulb work again.
