There’s also Linen.

I am! @[email protected]

To be fair, they say the previous books they’ve enjoyed have been short… Not that they want to read something short this time! But point taken.

The Mistborn Trilogy (start with The Final Empire) by Brandon Sanderson is superb.

After that initial trilogy they are a massive struggle, but the first three are well worth reading.

No, it’s a cross platform standard. You can even run a server on Linux interfacing with SANE to convert older scanners.

I looked up the non-Apple name and it’s eSCL. That’s a lot easier to search for.

Yes, you can now use AirScan (also called something else I don’t recall currently) for “driverless” scanning.

How was your delivery?

Rubbish!

dump1090 comes with a webpage showing which aircraft it is currently tracking, although I suspect the maps don’t run offline.

I’ve just noticed there’s a Fediverse “optic”, so you can restrict it to Fediverse sites.

Tbh I just saw it needed a login and scrolled back up to the link without reading further, so was obviously a bit hasty in my assessment of it being a paywall.

To save reading the paywalled article, the site is at https://stract.com

I’ve only done a single search but it gave me a summary at the top, and some discussion forums in a different format. I’m impressed so far!

They need to be trained on the film “Wargames”. Or forced to pay Noughts & Crosses against themselves.

I find this very useful to read paywalled articles that Google has managed to index!

OK, I see why they might want to get rid of it.

I got free electricity for quite a few hours on Sunday night and Monday morning due to this wind.

I don’t always, but when I do it’s mostly to do with character customisation. If I’m playing a game where my character is constantly visible I’d rather it was something I wanted to look at, and male clothing is boring. OK, some games don’t restrict clothes but many do. So I tend to create a character which is a female version of me, except in the cases where I prefer a male character (which isn’t often if I have the choice!)

I bow to your superior knowledge. It definitely doesn’t wear out SD cards as quickly though, but that might be due to other factors not wear levelling.

What I missed mentioning is it does wear-levelling so as its name suggests it is “flash friendly” and stops SD cards wearing out so quickly.

I use f2fs on my Raspberry Pis, it’s designed for flash storage and appears to have much better performance than ext4 on the same device. I’m not sure whether it’s suitable for SSDs, or just SD cards and USB (these devices are optimised for FAT and f2fs utilises that optimisation). When I tried to use f2fs on a proper laptop it was too early and the distro didn’t support booting from it. I assume that has changed now.

As for the others, I usually stick with ext4 as I’ve never seen a compelling reason not to.

I use File Manager + https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphainventor.filemanager

Those shortcuts invoke clipshare. It looks like there’s also a sync mode so you can use normal copy/paste and it will still sync.
