Was going to post this as well. Just replayed it again, never gets old!

Portugal, so we’d go with Moonspell!
OTOH, if you build a playlist manager for playlists everyone can add to, you make sure nothing anyone adds will break it…
Sadly, this was a thing even before the web, let alone social media. There’s always been people for whom the vacations didn’t even “happen” unless they get to go on incessantly about them when they come back, ideally subjecting you to two hours of photos that mean very little to you. They derive little enjoyment from actually being there, they take it from showing it others…
For some people life is not worth living without external validation. Sad.
Jesus! Fucking! Christ!
As someone who fears bugs and is browsing Lemmy before going to sleep, my nightmares thank you, good sir!
I have been reading it and it is indeed quite good. The setting in which it takes place is nice as well. Recommended!
Fantastic. I had no idea the Z80 survived to this day!
1643 day streak here, and it still looks like it’s going to die on me any second now. I guess it was just an icon change (but… why?!)
I’ve used these guys. Fast, courteous and acceptable price. Still, unless you live in Portugal, I don’t think it will help you much. Might give you an idea of what to look for, though!
There are companies specializing in document management. One of the services they offer (besides archiving, secure destruction, etc.) is scanning books and creating high-quality pdfs of their contents. This is usually a (semi-)automated process that uses a machine that opens the book only as much as necessary, to try not to even damage its spine. I’ve used it professionally and can vouch for this kind of service, even if I cannot really recommend you a particular provider, since I very much doubt you live near me, in Europe. Still, I’m pretty sure you can find one close to you if you search.
This will only take you halfway there, by producing a good quality pdf version of the book that you could share with others. To go the extra step of OCR’ing it, proofreading, adding the links, would need something else…

In my experience, many translations suck hard, to the point of, having on occasion compared different language versions of a novel, wondering how can readers of the translated version understand certain passages at all… So, I also try to read in the original if possible, if it is Portuguese, Spanish, French, English or Esperanto. I can kinda understand Italian as well but not enough to read a full-length novel… Still learning German…
