Digitizing notebooks
  • I scanned all my college notebooks many years ago. Have this little handheld scanner called an CapShare by HP and on a rainy day one weekend scanned them all in. Only takes up ~250MB

  • Is there a real credit-card sized computer? Something that easily fits in a wallet or pocket and has a user interface?
  • They are not intended to be a finished product, you are supposed to add your own display and keyboard. If you want really portable start with the Pi zero which doesn't have the big ports, then slap on a small display and keyboard of your choice. There are small kits like these https://ameridroid.com/collections/all-products/products/odroid-go-advance for example. There are also a few different ones with blackberry keyboards https://liliputing.com/beepberry-is-a-79-hackable-pocket-computer-kit-with-a-blackberry-keyboard/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/its-a-raspberry-pi-a-blackberry-keyboard-and-a-battery-its-the-beepberry/ (when blackberry quit making hardware they surplussed a bunch of keyboards)

  • OSS media asset management (OC)
  • "One click tag over 1.500 objects, famous european landmarks " Where do you get the landmark data from, can it do more than european? For example I was looking at Open Street Map's API where I could get the nearest landmark to given coordinates so I could script the gps data from pictures into a landmark.

    How to create a community?
  • That explains why I don't have the create community button then. So do I just create an account on another instance and then create? And how do I know what instances I can create a community?

    What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?
  • I started running Windows 2000 in 1999 with a Technet Beta. It was fast, stable, reliable. Bought the new laptop with XP and it would hang from resume often. Then plugging in USB devices would stop being recognized and I had to clear duplicate entries out of the registry. Then my work desktop couldn't open a second Vmware guest without swapping where it could run four guests under windows 2000. I burned one of my MS support calls asking them why it wasn't reading the swappiness reg key only to be told they drop support for that so XP would have plenty of free ram but start swapping as soon as I tried opening the second vmware guest. I had to stick in another hdd and dedicate it to swap to get a second vmware guest just to run. But then there was the huge security hole thinly disguised as a web browser called internet explorer. Despite me running as a non-admin, file and registry permissions locked down, unnecessary services disabled, all the typical desktop security stuff just a simple mis-typing www.gogle.com into IE would result in popups and a malware infection. The second time I got infected bad enough to require a reinstall I setup a dual boot of redhat and eventually just quit using windows. Supposedly they fixed some of those issues with later service packs for XP but windows 2000 beta was faster, more secure and more stable than XP. It was just a big turd.

    Distance 5.52 mi | Time 1:04:33 | Speed 5.1 mph | Elevation 185 ft

    Since the rain schedule changed to Saturday I made it around one more time this week. Beat my moving time PR of 53:54 by 10 seconds for a new PR. I guess its progress even if it is only 10 seconds.

  • Installed an early version of Slackware on a 386 in the 90's. Went through a couple it jobs so I ran windows for a bit until 2002. I had bought a nice laptop and it came with windows xp. Xp was so bad after windows 2000 that I had to find something else. Played with redhat and a couple other dostros then went back to Slackware and have been on it ever since.
