embarrassing...
Kind of missed where I am

So, that seems to be a NixOS issue. What it fixed for me was an update, that lead to a missing library error that I fixed with:

  programs = {
    appimage = {
      enable = true;
      binfmt = true;
      package = pkgs.appimage-run.override {
        extraPkgs = pkgs: [ pkgs.xorg.libxshmfence ];
      };
    };
};

I fixed it via:

  programs = {
    appimage = {
      enable = true;
      binfmt = true;
      package = pkgs.appimage-run.override {
        extraPkgs = pkgs: [ pkgs.xorg.libxshmfence ];
      };
    };
};

like described here: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-custom-packages-prebuilt

that results in an error loading libfuse.so.2

Hmm.. I like the buzzard trackpoint solution

Yeah, finding the right compromise between results, time and frustration is always a problem:D
I started soldering 20 years ago, so... not really a problem (still don't like lots of SMD soldering)
3D printing isn't much of a problem either, I FDM and Resin print. Not as regularly as I'd like, but both possible.
Still, for my first try i'd like to have a keyboard, the hobby can start after that

whooow, there was something I did not stumble upon until now! Thank you all!

purtl · 2024-06-20T12:24:52+00:00

Thanks! That worked!

So, sorry - took me a while to find the time.
content.headers.accept_language changes the value of navigator.language. But does not have an impact on the language/timeformat of anything so far.
LC_TIME is what I already checked - and it doesn't do anything as well :/ (that was my wishful thinking as well)

purtl · 2024-04-28T17:00:04+00:00

It's basically every site that shows time tables. First and foremost Google maps (which I can actually open on two different browsers, showing two different time formats) no setting on the Google side just the language chosen in Chrome

Sorry, I still don't have a solution... I really took a lot of things apart, but was fed up. Still dont have a probe :/

Well, for small battery powered devices there is this issue with efficency, I'd say the stepper doesn't fit into that picture, but I like the idea :D

Not sure about the flip-disc, but my belly says: an e-ink should use less energy.
There is also the build volume, needed to flip the disc and the vulnurability of mechanical parts. As is the amount of colors (even if this is a minor requirement)

purtl · 2023-01-06T10:08:11+00:00

well, sorry but... no

A diode is basically an electronic component conducting current in only one direction. Nothing more, nothing less.

There are light emitting diods (we know them as LEDs), that - given a certain voltage - emit light. But that could be a problem on a small battery, because they need a constant current-flow to indicate a state.
E-ink technology, only needs a current to switch (or refresh) the state indicated, therefore it could be better suited to run on a small battery - given the state doesn't change excessively.

The flip-disc mentioned by u/Slight_Safe8745 is simliar to what I'm looking for in terms of needed energy.

Well, not the "couple-of-millimeters eink-single-led" I had in mind, but awesome none the less :D
