Oh “Vergissmeinnicht”, beautiful (“vergiss mich nicht”, german for “don’t forget me”)

I like the fact that Blueprint is being adopted. One step closer to stabelization. (:

I recently started a small project using Blueprint and Python. Still early days; nothing to go into detail, yet.

Then users can pick between MAPS.me, Organic Maps and CoMaps. Crazy!!

I could not find any word of an iOS version of CoMap. Does someone know?

Is using the web version no longer possible? And: Will Xwayland not help you with that?

I have it working with just one LUKS volume. The tricky part is, that the UUIDs of the decrypted and encrypted device differ. I would have to look at my setup to be sure (it has been more than a year I set this up and I am currently not on my computer).

Has someone tried niri on a mobile device with touch and on-screen keyboard? This sounds very exciting!

It is cute, isn’t it?

If it enables the use of Linux at work I would install it, too. And use Edge for corporate ressources as well.

I am using it, too. I whish the vim-mode was a bit more complete.

and linear window managers: niri.

Yes, I tried PostmarketOS with Phosh on my old Lenovo Ideapad. It just works without tinkering.

I have gone from borgbackup to rdiff-backup to reduce complexity and dependencies. rdiff-backup’s incremental strategy needs more space than deduplication from borgbackup, but you don’t need fuse and borg itself to restore your latest backup.

With rdiff-backup you can just use cp -a to restore all your files. Only if you need a file you deleted ages ago, you need it.

I relied on borgbackup for a long time, never had an incident. But then I wanted to try the new replication borg2 feature and almost lost my original borg1 repo. With rdiff-backup you can just rsync the repo to another drive and have two copies of your offline offsite redundant backup. Encryption is a non-issue, you can run it on top of every other filesystem and LUKS or over SSH.

Granted, I just switched to rdiff-backup, but I am loving the simplicity of it already.

speed limit in germany, when?

I wonder if showtime has yt-dlp support and could potentially replace mpv.

Finally I found the time to write down, how I use Ghostscript:

gs \
    -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
    -o /output/gs_file.pdf \
    -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress \
    -sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK \
    -sDefaultCMYKProfile=/path/to/ISOcoated_v2_eci.icc \
    -sColorConversionStrategy=CMYK \
    source/file.pdf \
    -f

I don’t now which of ProcessColorModel or ColorConversionStrategy is the important one. I kept both and did not bother to try to omit one of them. -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress makes sure that embedded bitmaps are in 300dpi and I think -f prevents Ghostscript staying in interactive mode after all pages have been finished.

I am also interested in any experiences, especially regarding the computers you can attach to these small displays. I often see RPi as an option, but I heared about RocketChip, too. What are the best platforms to drive these displays?

We learned the hard way that on a RPi4 you want a very good SD card if you are running nextcloud on it.

Why is it stagnant?

I wish the floating zoom controls would fade out more. Other then that, it is better than Evince.
