The tldr app is in Debian official repos so I installed it with apt tools. From there, it failed me:

$ tldr wg
Downloading tldr pages to ~/.local/share/tldr
tldr: HttpExceptionRequest Request {
  host                 = "tldr.sh"
  port                 = 443
  secure               = True
  requestHeaders       = []
  path                 = "/assets/tldr.zip"
  queryString          = ""
  method               = "GET"
  proxy                = Nothing
  rawBody              = False
  redirectCount        = 10
  responseTimeout      = ResponseTimeoutDefault
  requestVersion       = HTTP/1.1
  proxySecureMode      = ProxySecureWithConnect
}

Looks like it needs cloud access. My gear only works on Tor, so then I tried it this way:

$ torsocks tldr wg
No tldr entry for wg
$ torsocks tldr wget
No tldr entry for wget
$ torsocks tldr find
No tldr entry for find
$ torsocks tldr rsync
No tldr entry for rsync
$ torsocks tldr -u

Also checked for kmdr but that’s not in the official debian repos, which I try to stick to. I appreciate the tips though.

yikes! Not smart for “chasing digital sovereignty”.

SimpleX is Cloudflare-free. Matrix is not.

I was quite confused when I read your post because Tesseract is an OCR engine. Your link helped sort it out.

I think I have come across various fedi web clients that do conversions. I think peertube shrinks videos, IIRC. The auto conversions are useful but they must be conservative in the extent of their changes. The posterizing that I do w/Imagemagick makes a dramatic change so it could not be done automatically by a client or server, as users need to review the output and decide. So I believe the best compression will always require manual effort in order to judge whether the quality loss is still acceptable for the application.

Regarding Tesseract (the lemmy client) – does that work offline? I’m always looking for a Lemmy client that can briefly connect to sync content and then support reading and writing messages when offline.

It’s important to realise that programming.dev is centralised in Cloudflare, a US-based gatekeeper who is antithetical to fedi principles. When someone looks for an alternative to #Reddit, I imagine they don’t want yet another tech giant. They are looking for a decentralised place that values balance of power.

So I suggest directing people to !emacs@lemmy.sdf.org instead.

Really? Zsh expands short parameters to long? My search comes up dry. This is apparently the most comprehensive treatment on the topic:

https://thevaluable.dev/zsh-expansion-guide-example/

I don’t see mention of tool options expanding… just other parameters like variables.

Glad to verify my click bait worked. A doc once told me the pinky toe is getting increasingly smaller and will one day go away. So the next notable evolution may be 4 toes… 2 toenails less to clip!

I suppose UIs will evolve away from keyboards faster than we evolve to have more fingers.

A smart attack would be coupled with a clear message. Have the malware clobber them with anti-evil messages and just like that you have a sound free speech defense.

Consider florida, where if you are caught with shrooms that are wet, freshly picked, they cannot convict you for carrying contraband because you do not necessarily know what you picked.

Laws are often based on intent. In some cases, penalties vary depending on intent. It would be an unacceptably brutally harsh law to judge someone under a presumption of harmful intent for something they might have no awareness of.

QR codes can have icons on them. Certainly if I created such a t-shirt, I would put some cool looking icon in the center of it. Someone being dragged through the system might argue “i did not know that qr code was real… i just liked the cat in the middle of it”.

“Malice” implies intent. Accidents are not malicious. Neglect in the worst case. So certainly any charges could not be based on malice.

Not sure but I think QR codes that hold wi-fi creds would more likely be automatically processed by phones. Seems like an adequate attack surface. Maybe dodgy creds could overflow or do some kind of DB attack. Or even legit creds could lead someone to connect to a malicious hot-spot captive portal that the attacker carries.

Thanks for the tip. It seems to work but I have to say it’s a rough UX because the UI is really meant for a graphical browser. I could not even paste my UID and PW in to login.

For the same reason, I suppose you would love text adventure games like Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, where you have to come up with your action, as opposed to getting visual aids which come like a loaded question, steering you and somewhat robbing you of control.

indeed… #NeonModemOverdrive failed for me too.

So, how did you do post to lemmy.ml? Did you use cURL? If so, I would love to see the sample code.
