tekeous,

I use Paperless-ng and it’s great. Headlining feature is that it stores your documents in PDF in a plain folder which makes backing up easy. Another software that puts your documents in a database is no good unless it has its own backup method.

Plus being on a network server means I can set up my printer to scan to there as a target, my phone to scan to there, computer, I can drop emails in the consume folder, etc. Easy peasy to get stuff in there.

tekeous,

Set up Paperless-ng on your server, generally with Docker, and map the Consume folder to wherever you want. Expose that on the network as a Samba or FTP share depending on your printer.

Printers with a bit more than basic features allow you to “scan to target” and it’s basically designed to set up a Public share folder on windows and scan and your document just shows up on the computer. Same deal but map it to the consume folder on the server. Paperless automatically picks up and intakes anything dropped in the consume folder.

So you end up just hitting Scan on the printer, the printer will dump the output into consume share via either samba or ftp, and Paperless automatically picks it up and puts it in the Inbox for ya.

tekeous,

Reader mode is just regular Chad, me with my RSS reader with built in reader mode is the real Giga Chad

tekeous,

sauce?

the bigger the air leak the better the cooling 🗿

tekeous,

I run Fedora Server on a blade server in a colo.

Pros:

  • Cockpit is the GOAT 🐐
  • Descended from RHEL so everything is supported
  • Podman is the GOAT 🐐

Cons:

  • Podman is getting worse, for instance they recently deprecated systemd generate and tell you to use Quadlet, for running pods, you need to use Kubernetes. This greatly complicates my workflow.
  • SELinux, while secure, and easy to troubleshoot with Cockpit, is a major pain in the ass that prevents most containers from accessing their data directories. It can be corrected but is extremely frustrating.
  • Quadlet is extremely inconsistent, I can copy the working unit file for a container and it works, change the name and variables for another container, and one launches but the other won’t start. One will have the wrong name. Stupid things, like putting the name in quotes, reloading, removing the quotes fixes it. I have harsh words for the idiot who deprecated systemd generate.
  • something like Tiddlywiki, their documentation will put you in /var/www but Fedora uses /usr/www or something. You get used to the Fedora things but you can end up on a goose chase sometimes.

Those cons are starting to hit hard, and when I reimage this server next I’m probably going to Proxmox or Debian. Server 37 was good but I probably won’t bother with 39.

tekeous,

I ran ‘rm -rf ~’ because I fat fingered the ~ instead of the 1 and wiped my home folder

tekeous,

I’m using pure GNOME with the exception of a single extension which tiles windows on my screen on a grid(gTile) because I have a massive screen and five windows. I also have an icon pack if you’re counting that. Rest of it is stock and I quite like it. It gets out of my way when I’m trying to work and the alt+tab and other features are always fast. Top left hot corner is a godsend.

tekeous,

To answer your question about lack of dock and system tray, I use the top left hot corner to snap windows in Activities often, and I launch mostly from the built in Applications menu. Don’t use the dock much. As for system tray, it’s a fairly minimal work computer so I boot it every day, run slack, browser, etc. and I know there’s nothing really on the background. Don’t need an icon for slack, it’s always on my screen. In my GNOME-based work environment it’s either running and I can see it or it’s closed.

tekeous,

Hell yeah! Now, I’m all thumbs, but I’m sure with a little trick of the fingers I’ll be able to try my hand at this game, which I’ve been meaning to palm for some time.

tekeous,

It’s because they pulled the ol’ “got your nose” on Dr. Verlucci, and he’s back for revenge, haha, get it?

tekeous,

Must be either recent, because mine renewed about 2 months ago at the same old $450ish rate, or location-based - you don’t happen to live in an area forecasted to get smacked by a hurricane, do you?

tekeous,

There are only two good things about Pokémon, and that’s FireRed and Regigigas

tekeous,

I used to run an instance, and one of the reasons that I stopped was there is no good way to update it. If I pulled the source code again and recompiled the Docker it just wouldn’t start. Wiped the database and it still wouldn’t start.

This is why I still tell people Kbin is not production ready.

tekeous,

Nobody tells me not to be horny 😤

Now what can those wings do daddy

how is Apple measuring focal length on their cameras? (lemmy.world)

I looked at the Apple’s website and noticed that they were giving focal lengths for each camera but no sensor size. On one of their camera they give the focal length and field of view. So I took my P-Cam app (a cinematographer app to do camera and lenses math) and for a camera to have a focal length of 13mm and a field of view...

tekeous,

Field of view has to do with the curvature of the lens, not size. How do you think 360 cameras work? Not with a massive sensor, that’s for sure.

Can't block particular community

For some reason I just can't block @196. For several month, on PC and on iPhone. I can block other communities, but not this one. It goes into page with saying that over next few days the infrastructure will be updated. I thought in a few days it would be resolved, but it is more than two month. I thought maybe this is not known...

tekeous,

They’re too powerful and cannot be stopped
