Opening the interface and updates on Git.
I suggest you see a slice of the LoraType interface, based on E-Ink 1.54 in partial update mode.
Just recently we got new screens from GoodDisplay with increased refresh rate, speed is the most important thing here.
The main items are: general chat, individual chat, communication setup and general settings. We invite you to discuss, we are open to opinions
By the way we have OSHWA UA000004 #loratype#embedded#uiux#esp32#lora#eink
I love me an e-ink e-reader, but the problem is that you have to give your money to Amazon (which is Amazon) or Rakuten (which has its own issues). There are plenty of other Japanese e-book distributors, but their files are drm'ed and you can't just upload them to any ol' e-ink device. There's Boox, who make Android e-ink tablets, but their Android versions are ancient, and they have a long history of violating the GPL. #ereader#eink#kindle#kobo#boox
Received my Kindle Scribe today and just gave it a little run-through. Here are my notes on the Scribe taken on the Scribe. My apologies in advance. Perhaps take these images to your local pharmacist? #kindlescribe#kindle#eink
This is an old project, but by some miracle it's still working and I woke up this morning wanting to celebrate the things I love more.
This Inkplate e-ink screen shows Conway's Game of Life, seeded from tarpits I have on the Internet. The tarpits are programs on my computer that superficially look like insecure Telnet and Remote Desktop services, but actually exist to respond super slowly and make bots scanning the Internet 'get stuck'.
When a bot connects to the tarpit, the data it sends gets squished into a 5x5 grid and 'stamped' onto a Game of Life board. Data from a bot at the IP address 1.1.x.x will get stamped on the top left corner, data from a bot at 254.254.x.x will get stamped on the bottom right corner.
Conway's Game of Life, a set of simple rules that govern whether cells should turn on or off, updates the display once per second. The result is that bot attacks end up appearing as distinct 'creatures', that get bigger and more angry looking over time (as their centre is updated with new data). After the attack finishes, the 'creature' eventually burns itself out.
Despite that description, it's a really chill piece of art that doesn't draw too much attention but I can happily watch for a long time.
Credit for the idea goes to @_mattata, I had been wanting to make a real-life version of XKCD #350 for years before seeing his Botnet Fishbowl project.
