Spricht noch irgendwas gegen E-Ink im #öpnv außer vielleicht der Preis? Im Sommer kommen 42-Zoll-Schirme mit RGB-Layer (Kaleido 3). Auflösung reduziert sich zwar durch die indirekte Farbproduktion (es gibt keine Farbkörner im Panel). Aber es wirkt ausreichend auf mich und sie schalten binnen 0,5 s. Die Spectra-Demo vom letzten Jahr sieht natürlich cooler aus.
@ljrk Danke, dann ist das bestimmt noch der Rest des damaligen Versuchs. S Beuselstraße war an einer Bushaltestelle (oder war's Westhafen?) war auch mal ein Anzeiger, aber weniger hochauflösend als dieser..
So I bought a bunch of stuff to build an #epaper#weather display based off an #esp32 board, sort of mixing and matching stuff up from a few project I had found.
I had assumed that the hardware would be supported by #esphome, but the amount of stuff that especially me actually supports is... Disappointingly low.
So, besides learning how esphome works, I now get to figure out how to add a 3rd party library in there and how to write a panel description so it can drive it.
Something I'd be interested in that I can't seem to find:
A low-powered Linux laptop with an e-ink display, that I could use for long-form writing or coding.
What I've found so far are mostly either
Tablets intended for note-taking (like the ReMarkable or BOOX's various lines)
Higher-end where the e-ink display is an extra (like Lenovo's swivel designs where you rotate the display to use either an OLED or e-ink).
Some of the tablets do have keyboard cases, which would be better than just hooking up a random Bluetooth keyboard, but it doesn't look like I can just install programs on them, except for the Android ones, which aren't going to be ideal for things like coding or running build scripts or anything like that.
The closest I found was the Modos Paper Laptop, but seems to still be in the prototype phase.
Does this form factor exist yet? Am I just having trouble finding them because of the current state of search?
I have these two next to my front door, one shows where my car parked (redacted) and one shows the day’s weather. I thought the weather one died because I couldn’t ssh to it, but a restart fixed that (after I’d unplugged everything and pulled it off the wall of course).
It wasn’t working because I accidentally left a reference to the darksky API (RIP) and Jan 22nd was apparently the day that decided to break my code.
🎉 The cases for the Hush Line Personal Server arrived yesterday, and I couldn’t be happier with the result!
We worked with an OEM in Taiwan on a custom-designed, security-focused case for our forthcoming self-hosted tip line product, and what was just a concept is now real!
Only 100 exist, and they’ll go on sale after our security audit, and once all the findings are addressed. 🔥
@dec_hl As much as I love that idea, I wonder whether it would result in everyone’s house looking like a mid-2000s MySpace profile, when everyone was being amazed by bad CSS.
#BOOX uses a big number of #FOSS stuff in their #epaper tablets. I first thought it's just the #Linux#kernel which they don't release the source code. But I've realized they are using many more FOSS stuff. Like the #Android apps from #SimpleMobile which are not #copyleft but if they were, legally, BOOX had to free their source code, too. One might argue what is the difference when they don't release the source codes. The differences come up when BOOX is in a court. #GPL#free_software
I'm not trashing my BOOX device. It's a useful one. But I hope to switch to #LinuxMobile like #postmarketOS in the future. I've realized there is no app I need and is #Android specific.
I'm not tied to Android yet (#KaiOS is serving me well!) but I'm feeling the pressure for payments, cabs/bikes, and all the cool Android-based #OpenStreetMap contribution tools. The #Palma is tempting.
