Simple epub reader for Linux?

I used FBReader previously, but I'd like something less abandoned (last update was in 2012? Correct me if I'm wrong). What I'd like is a simple epub reader, no need for catalogues or other "fancy" features, just a simple, lightweight reader that's at least adequetly usable with a touchscreen.

My best guess was to use SumatraPDF with wine, but that worked out terribly. For comics (cbr,.cbz files) I'm more than fine with MComix or even the default pdf readers, if they support the format.

System is Pop!_OS 19.04 64-bit, GNOME 3, running on an Alcatel Plus 10.

Any ideas?

(sorry for the style, writing tired and annoyed from phone)

useful aliases that I have created

Hey, just thought I'd share some of the super useful command aliases I've created in my time using linux, which save me lots of time and effort, and just overall make my experience more enjoyable! These are some of my favorites:

&#x200B;

note: many of these are my own original aliases, however there are surely duplicates from someone else/different aliases that do the same thing. Sorry in advance to those who are bothered by this.

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

`alias whoami="whoami && curl ident.me"` adds your public IP to the 'whoami' command

`alias download="youtube-dl -x --audio-format mp3"` downloads any youtube video in mp3 format to the current directory, provided `youtube-dl` is installed.

`alias batt="upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 | grep percentage` displays current battery level

`alias top="htop"` turns top into htop

`alias n="nano"` shorten nano command

`alias vi="vim"` turns vi into vim

`alias colors="bash ~/noscripts/colors.sh"` displays all colors available in X (i.e. urxvt, termite), provided [this noscript](https://github.com/0x746866/dots/blob/master/noscripts/colors.sh) is in the directory $HOME/noscripts/colors.sh

`alias repoly="killall polybar | polybar [YOUR_BAR_NAME]` restart polybar

`alias bancat="figlet -f ~/3d.flf "$1" | lolcat"` cool shit -- see here: [https://asciinema.org/a/SbZW11JICoY8BfLVEdQ8QebmE](https://asciinema.org/a/SbZW11JICoY8BfLVEdQ8QebmE)

`alias fetch="neofetch --off"` neofetch without ascii/art for when you have low terminal space (rice show offs)

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

also, if you aren't already aware: [https://transfer.sh/](https://transfer.sh/)

Help with removing text from a file via command-line

Hi everyone,

&#x200B;

I need your help to create a little productivity hack.

&#x200B;

My idea is to use Cron to schedule a task to append text to /etc/host and block a few sites during certain time frames and, then, remove this very same text at other times.


The thing is, I don't know which command to use to remove the text. Can anyone help with that?


Thank you.

USB key and distro

Hi,

&#x200B;

I am new to all that is about distros, terminal, shell, etc. I read somewhere that you can use a USB key to use a distro on any computer until you unplug the key.

&#x200B;

Can you tell me the name of it and how to do it?
