@mattgrayyes Matt, I just wanted to drop by to tell you that the "out standing in a field" gag is appreciated. Had myself a good laugh!

Journalist: "So what do you think long-distance air travel is going to look like in 2050?"

Climate Scientist laughs derisively: "By 2050, most long-distance holiday destinations will be uninhabitable, so I expect the majority of long-distance air traffic to be non-existent by 2050."

Phew. Hadn't heard it THAT bleakly during a live interview yet.

@tbaldauf DAMN. You can only do that stuff in live interviews because the media will 100% cut that out of ANY recording.

"Ordentliche Mitgliederversammlung" gelesen.

Kopf so: "Wie sieht eigentlich eine unordentliche Mitgliederversammlung aus?"

Kopf antwortet sich direkt selbst: "Achso, ja, Digitalcourage."

@scy Ja nun. Ich habe mal den Begriff "p*deluun-Versorgungswerk" gehört und komisch geguckt. Seit den Berichten aus dieser MV habe ich dann auch verstanden, was die Person damit meinte.

Now that I have paperless-ngx running and my is working, any suggestions for a software for ?

I have an ADF duplex scanner and will mainly scan b&w ("lineart"), but sometimes in color, too. Output files should be PDF, OCR is optional. I need to be able to remove empty back side pages.

Is there anything that supports different, auto-detected page dimensions in a single PDF as well as auto-cropping and skew removal?

tobiasgies,
@tobiasgies@chaos.social avatar

@web_martin @scy built into paperless-ngx, doesn't need a dedicated install unless I misunderstand scy here.

tobiasgies,
@tobiasgies@chaos.social avatar

@scy @web_martin no like... OCRmyPDF is literally built into paperless-ngx. OCRmyPDF is what enables paperless-ngx to make all your PDFs searchable.

I saw this news yesterday and all I could repeat in my head were swear words. Ryan will die of cancer and is hoping to steal a few more years. He's a pillar of the community at large and the community in particular. Folks, if you can, toss a coin his way. https://symfony.com/blog/ryan-weaver-needs-our-help

TIL: ElasticSearch nodes talk over SSL, but only check SSL certificate validity during master election / restarts.

Makes for a "fun" outage scenario.

tobiasgies,
@tobiasgies@chaos.social avatar

@ocramius
Oh. Oh no. I can imagine reasons for this choice (cert validation is comparatively expensive) but good grief, that's a nightmare to debug! "The cluster worked perfectly fine before I restarted it! I didn't change a single line of config! WTF????!"

I find myself with an unexpectedly free day tomorrow before I fly back home in the evening. Before I throw money at WeWork – are there friends in or whom I could trouble for a desk and access to a coffee maker?

In which I try Matrix and Element and can't even manage to sign on, because the Onboarding is a Trashfire of bad UX, a selection of vulnerable servers and a confusion of clients.

tobiasgies,
@tobiasgies@chaos.social avatar

@isotopp I always find it super interesting to get new perspectives on things that "just work" for me, and have for over a year now.

I just had a look through Element's onboarding experience and it's quite confusing to me how your onboarding experience ended up so bad. Both the Element desktop app, as well as the iOS app, as well as the web app have very clear "create account" workflows easily visible. Heck, you can even "log in with apple".

tobiasgies,
@tobiasgies@chaos.social avatar

@isotopp Like, I'm not trying to invalidate your experience, I'm sure it happened like you wrote it - I'm just confused how you got catapulted out of the funnel so badly.

I do believe hot honey would more accurately be called spicy honey, and time won't help that.

Stuck in Antwerp because of a technical problem with the doors of the train I’m on. How’s your day going?!?

@m1ke @dragonbe I second this! Antwerp is a great place to explore, but not if you have somewhere else to be and can't get there.

I wonder how hard it would be to build an analog circuit to generate a single frame of NTSC video.

maybe one with horizontal stripes of color

tobiasgies,
@tobiasgies@chaos.social avatar

@foone Ooo. Now you've made me curious. I have absolutely zero of the skills necessary to do this, but if something ever comes of this, I'd definitely love to see. That'd basically be a companion for Ben Eater's excellent "World's worst video card" series. (Which, if anyone somehow hasn't seen it, starts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7rce6IQDWs)

Installing a new development machine is always a nice balance between forgetting stuff and installing you don't really need.

@Skoop
Look I'm not saying I used to have a Puppet setup for my dev machine… but I am saying that I have batch files for Windows machines and Bash scripts for Linux to put my stuff where it belongs.
