Why Ubuntu is calling Canonical?
When I connect to a VPN my Ubuntu laptop calls to an ip address BEFORE CONNECTING and the whois is: ``` inetnum: 185.125.188.0 - 185.125.191.255 netname: UK-CANONICAL-20151111 country: GB ... organisation: ORG-CGL14-RIPE org-name: Canonical Group Limited country: GB org-type: LIR address: 5 New Street Square address: EC4A 3TW address: London address: UNITED KINGDOM ``` What is this and why?? Why does Ubuntu check in to Canonical HQ when I connect to internet??

This tool is very powerful! Just what I needed, thanks again. Turns out you need pandoc 3+ and linux mint repo has 2.9, so after upgrading that rga started working, but it still throws this error from time to time:


parseSpine
Error: copying adapter output to stdout

Caused by:
    0: subprocess: Command { std: "pandoc" "--from=epub" "--to=plain" "--wrap=none" "--markdown-headings=atx", kill_on_drop: false }
    1: ExitStatus(unix_wait_status(16384))

I will have to keep looking into it, I’m not sure if this error stops the search in it’s tracks.



This looks pretty cool, thanks!



Can you grep through ebooks?
I was trying to do that but I noticed `ls | grep searchterm` just searches the book TITLES for searchterm. Is this possible, to search the text of ebooks?
