Seconding Bookstack. I’ve embedded videos in it and I don’t recall anything special to do it. I also think there’s a way to comment on specific pages…mostly because I remember disabling that functionality.
Agreed on the roles and permissions aspect though. It’s pretty standard to do that for bigger deployments, but it may be a bit overkill for a single user instance.

Generally speaking, if Ubuntu works, LMDE will work as well. Unless you have something that is brand brand new with drivers only located in a bleeding edge kernel, you shouldn’t have any issues.
I have LMDE on an old XPS17 and it actually worked with less fuss than standard Ubuntu, mainly because of compatibility with a truly ancient wireless chipset.
I run calibre off my desktop. You can enable the Calibre content server and it can serve up your books for download (or provide a web reader).
If you have an Android device, you can use something like Moon Reader (or any other reading app that supports epub or Pdf) to download content from the Calibre content server.
With respect to covers and metadata, Calibre can tag and fill in this info as well - out of the box it will scrape information from Amazon.
I’ve used this since 2015 or so. It runs well on limited resources (we have it on a $10 / month VPS), and is pretty straightforward to use and even extend.
The opensource version is great and fully functional. We have bought the extended reporting and bpm pack which was also well worth it. Honestly, I can’t say enough nice things about it.
I also played through this for the first time this year and liked it alot.
The reviews for the game didn’t do it justice. It wasn’t breathlessly paced like the first Mass Effect game (which I liked), but it was really quite fun.
My backlog is so big I figure any game that I’ve played would qualify.
Ticket to Earth would be mine.
I am working my way through Yakuza 5 though which I’m really enjoying.

This is a great use of tech. With that said I find that the lines are blurred between “AI” and Machine Learning.
Real Question: Other than the specific tuning of the recognition model, how is this really different from something like Facebook automatically tagging images of you and your friends? Instead of saying "Here’s a picture of Billy (maybe) " it’s saying, “Here’s a picture of some precancerous masses (maybe)”.
That tech has been around for a while (at least 15 years). I remember Picasa doing something similar as a desktop program on Windows.
