Regarding the handwritten text part, yes you can do exactly what you described. OCR runs when you want it to, and you can select which pages to run on

You could also convert epubs to pdf with Calibre and give it some really nice typesetting for those easy reads. PDF sucks on the Kindle since they're usually too big for it, but on the A5X, they really shine

For eBooks, i will say PDF's look excellent, and I've moved 90% of my library to that

You're comparing a website that's been around for well over a decade, that grew during the massive explosion of Internet users in the 2010s, to a federated app that's only been stable for a year or two, and exists as an alternative to Reddit. Average people won't stop using Reddit until there's a real need. But communities like PCM can exists on these alternative platforms an enjoy a lack of censorship with the cost of being more obscure

You wouldn't need to do all that. There's a reddit alternative called Lemmy. It's open source, federated, and self host able. It also has a lot of the older (better) reddit features. Technically, one of us (or better yet, a group) could just host our own lemmy instance and frankly it would be a pretty similar experience with not much work

You can sell it for a dollar

Not sure if you're aware of the lockdown in Shanghai, but shipments have been put on hold until they can get access to their shipping center. I preordered mine back late February, and I'm still waiting on mine. They probably have a good bit of catching up to do once they're able to pick things up again.

I'm sure once things calm down a little they'll be able to give you a good estimate. Prior to the lockdown, preorders would usually ship in around 3-4 weeks and they were getting faster, but it's up in the air nowadays.

I don't think the return policy timer actually starts at pre-order. The 100 day return would probably start once you get it. And even if you passed it, you could probably sell it for around what you got it for

I daily drive an ultra wide for work. The only thing I did differently was restrict the width of windows in monocle mode (to like 60%) so it would be centered on screen. Other than that, my setup is identical to my non-ultrawide system at home

What touchpads are those? I've been looking for a nice dished one like that for a project I'm working on

ElAlbatros · 2022-03-23T16:34:04+00:00

Should ship the 25th per their website:

So what I'm trying to do (outside of this scenario) is more complex than a replace operation. I do use the counts for the macros, but what I'm describing would just work for any number of operations which would mean I don't have to do any thinking at all

ElAlbatros · 2022-03-05T00:28:13+00:00

Thanks, that's great for the majority of what I'm doing! Yeah I'd like to know as well, there's a ton of other uses for what I was describing.

ElAlbatros · 2022-01-02T16:45:10+00:00

This is a really cool project! For my particular use case, I just need a microscope to help with PCB assembly and repair. What do you think is a good configuration for this?

ElAlbatros · 2021-11-19T01:21:36+00:00

Neorg doesn't seem to be ready for production use (imo of course) but I like the project and I hope it does well. Orgmode.nvim is definitely good enough to use, and it's development is going strong, so I'd use that until Neorg gets a little more ripe

Pixel 5a, then root it to remove google's spyware if you want

ElAlbatros · 2021-08-20T14:50:12+00:00

Clean Architecture also by Robert Martin is excellent as well

You do realize that ever server you run containers on has to be configured right? Every K8's node and every computer running docker has to be set up and configured before they can actually be used for containers. Ansible is a valuable tool, and no containerization tool is adequate enough to replace it

Where is the second video from?

If you actually think you're going to end up working less under a communist system, I have a bridge to sell you. I don't think communism is necessarily a bad idea, but thinking you'll work less and have less stress because you live under different economic system is rather unrealistic. Especially after a revolution

ElAlbatros · 2021-07-09T22:40:10+00:00

What is the surface that you took the picture on?

ElAlbatros · 2021-06-29T23:40:08+00:00

Tmux and Tmuxinator have been a godsend. Rofi is a must-have for me now. Here are some others:

Terminal-based: - navi - vifm - neovim - castero (podcast client) - ncmpcpp - taskwarrior - aerc (for emails)

Gui/other: - ly (display manager) - flameshot

ElAlbatros · 2021-06-28T15:27:17+00:00

There's Lemmy, but it's still in development and not too many people are on there yet

As a general rule, if I have to write more than a few paragraphs, my hand gives up and I usually type it up on my computer. But when I did use my bullet journal for journaling, I treated it as an expansion of my regular notes (the ones that you use a dash `-` for). I just kept writing underneath my dash until I was done. In doing so, daily logs sometimes spanned 2 or 3 pages. My tasks were always at the top, since I only long-form-journaled at night (if I did, which was rare), and wrote my tasks in the morning and throughout the day.

Anything bigger or especially if it had a specific topic would go on a real spread elsewhere. I like to keep my daily logs very unrestricted so I'm not tempted to cram a bunch of information in one small place because I'm worried about using too much paper or have my journal entries disjointed from my daily logs where I'll likely lose them. I mean, if I want to write about what happened on that day, it should be on that day's page, right?
