These are fine. If you got an older garmin with no network connectivity, it’s completely passive and only receiving.

Those were the times.

Yeah, I do this:

magick "$file" -limit memory 1GiB -limit map 2GiB -threshold 60% -define connected-components:area-threshold=5 -define connected-components:mean-color=true -connected-components 8 output.png

It makes the scan 1-bit black and white. It mostly removes bright background images, if there are any on the pages. I think it works quite well for basic black and white documents, but color graphics and graphs aren’t preserved.

Its a hacked together shell script. I wanted to learn shell scripting, but I should’ve probably programmed it in python.

But it basically does this:

1. scan pages as png via scanimage in gray scale
2. convert the image into a high contrast b/w one with image magick
3. sort pages if I have to combine two scans (front and back side)
4. create a single pdf of all the document pages via image magick
5. move pdf to the paperless folder

I won’t share it because it’s really ugly and some of the functionality can be done with paperless native, like combining the pages of two scans. Which would’ve been easier.

No, I use a printer/scanner combo for scanning my files. I trigger a shell script via HomeAssistant which starts the scanner, cleans and fixes the order of the pages for two sided documents, and then puts them into the paperless folder.

But your idea is great!

You’re right. It seems that you need the “OpenThread Border Router add-on”:

I’ve dont know the andere to your question, but I’ve just read that you can run into problems with the hardware running under docker: https://meow.social/@SebinNyshkim/115589684927757960

Although, it’s kinda ironic that Windows, a fully closed environment, is less restrictive in terms of app dev and distribution, […]

I think the reason for this is mainly historic.

Wow, great explanation, thanks!

Me with an older notebook that doesn’t support av1 decoding: 😭

I’m using the same arch install on my home server for 10 years now.

what happened to op is pretty common if you stop reviewing your updates one by one for a week or two

This is just not true. Its pretty rare that you have to manually intervene when updating.

What does this even mean? I had more problems with Fedora on my Notebook in the last few months (wouldn’t randomly boot anymore?!) than I had with Arch Linux in 10 years.

I use the same arch install for 10 years on my home server, and its really solid.

“Free Software” is a defined term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software

Git/Linux

Oh, yeah. If it’s your primary work environment I can see how you could use such features. I use the terminal maybe 1-2 per day, so it’s not a priority for me. Thanks for clarifying!

Is it crazy that I just use the default provided terminal emulator (Fedora/Gnome)? Why would I use something like this?

I bought a cheap one in 2012 and it has an Ethernet port.

I do this too. Folders in the bookmarks toolbar. If I’m not done with a topic I just drag-and-drop these tabs into a folder. If you middle click one of these folders every bookmarks opens in a new tab for quick access.
