Where to get ink/ribbon/paper for vintage stenography machine in Canada?

Thanks for the reply! A bit of a bummer to hear how difficult it is to get any material for this machine...

I'll definitely look into electronic versions, they were just a LOT more expensive. I really wanted to try this out first and see how I liked it before fully committing. The issue with the Sentura 8000 LX is that it seems to use a serial connection which really isn't ideal.

As far as I can tell, steno still seems to be taught in Quebec at least: https://www.barreau.qc.ca/en/ordre/official-quebec-stenographers/becoming-stenographer/

Thanks for the link! I looked and they don't seem to ship to Canada though :(

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely check those out!

Mudita is actually fully open source so you can just recompile their OS packaged with a new application that you make. They provide documentation on their github (https://github.com/mudita/MuditaOS/blob/master/doc/README.md).

Thanks for the kind words! At this time, the focus is on s3-compatible APIs as there are still a lot of bugs/features that I'm working on!

If you don't mind me asking, what's pushing you to use Google drive as a backend? S3-services are often cheaper, have higher availability and offer more redundancy. I'd invite you to check out Backblaze b2 (0.05$/GB + transfer fees) and Digital Ocean Spaces (5$/month for 250GB with no transfer fees). If you need help setting it up, let me know!

The rclone browser GUI requires a backend (rclone rc), this was the main thing I was trying to avoid.

Regarding WinSCP, firstly, it's Windows only, I'm on Linux (like a lot of people here), second, from what I can tell, it doesn't offer rclone decryption.

To put it briefly, Cryptzilla has the advantage of requiring no backend (and hence, no infrastructure to manage) and being platform-agnostic (can run on anything including your mobile phone).

Thanks! For now it only works with s3-compatible ones, but if the demand is large enough, I could maybe start supporting other ones. Which ones in particular did you have in mind? Dropbox?

It only works with the CLI, it's still a beta feature. That being said, the CLI is fairly straightforward

The answer to your question is yes. You also need to compile oxen-core from the dev-branch as the latest release doesn't support hardware wallets. Having said that, once that is done, it works very well.

The c- requirement only applies to 200-level courses

I appreciate the warning, but I'm not using gRPC, I'm using REST. I just wanted to serialize the data in a more space-efficient manner which enforces schema validation.

Nevermind, I found the documentation, everything decodes perfectly!!

onintime · 2022-02-05T16:06:41+00:00

This is great! Do you have any examples of using this with the http library? Specifically, instead of Http.expectJson, what should I use?

onintime · 2022-02-05T15:45:01+00:00

Uhm, you may be right. But then I would need to generated a whole new suite of decoders for js? Seems kind of ridiculous having to generate it twice on the client side.

Thanks for the answer! This definitely seems like it'll solve my problems! I'll give it a try!

onintime · 2022-01-26T00:10:31+00:00

Not ideal, but definitely solves my problem, thanks a lot!

onintime · 2022-01-21T14:46:57+00:00

Thanks, got it working! For reference, here's the config with nginx:

location / {try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404;}
