Irgendjemand hier mit so richtig absurd tiefem nischenwissen zu OCR? Oder jemand der jemanden kennt etc? gerne auch boosten.

Ich probiere gerade paperless-ngx aus. aktuellste version, alle settings auf default, intern nutzt das ocrmypdf + unpaper + tesseract 5 mit LSTM model.

wenn ich dort ein 0815 image-only PDF reinlade (graustufen, in diesem fall ein schreiben der telekom) klappt OCR so lala: an der kritischen stelle (das datum) wird aus punkt ein komma und aus 0 eine fragezeichen...

Fascinating how it's basically impossible to tell the difference between a real Tom Scott thumbnail and a fake parody of a Tom Scott thumbnail

@clonejo there's a well-documented internet monitoring project made by @geerlingguy, you can probably just cherry-pick what you need: jeffgeerling.com/blog/2021/mon

the temperature gradient on this E14 is impressive and I think it actually has a sensor on the not-actively-cooled-side because the CPU can be at 50° and it'll still be loud

silly Lenovo they should've put a fan on the hot side of this laptop as well

@codl I think it could be a cuter design but I think it's very funny

@codl adfhjkfhasj I forgot that the sudo mascot is a sandwich

also shoutout to Thunderbird which opened all three versions of said VCard file correctly encoded, I'm sure handling all those weird edge cases wasn't fun

damn it

the fix for iOS: just output VCard 3.0, 4.0 is too advanced
the fix for Outlook: haha fuck you reencode as Latin-1*

*or tell all your users to set their export (sic!) setting to utf-8 because that changes the import to utf-8 too thanks a lot Microsoft

me, twice a year: I should go to a chaos event sometime

@elilla that said becoming a pirate would be very on brand

@elilla I thought you were not a fan of paperwork :P

oh, iOS mangles the encoding when importing Vcard 4.0 files… they look like valid UTF-8… let's check the spec for encoding info

the spec: the charset is UTF-8. there is no way to change this.

So I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to tell if a particular app is running in Wayland or XWayland.

This is the answer I get off Stack Overflow. I'm thinking… No. No, that's too silly. It can't be the best way.

I keep researching. It's the best way.

You run xeyes.

Wayland has security that keeps windows from knowing about mouse events in other windows. XWayland doesn't.

Xeyes will track your cursor whenever you're over an XWayland window, then stop if you pass over anything else.
