Just like the title says I want to turn an old tablet of mine into an ereader.

The tablet in question is samsung galaxy tab 3 in which I installed postMarketOS.

I installed the console version, and once everything was set up I ssd into the machine and installed the following packages :

greetd, greetd-openrc, cage, fuse

Downloaded koreader app image into /bin/

Activated the greetd service

rc-update add greetd default

and configured /etc/greetd/config.toml with the following

[terminal]

vt = 1

[default_session]

command="agreety -c sh"
user="greeter"

[initial_session]

command="cage -s -d -- koreader"
user="me"

and rebooted the tablet, however I am still stuck with the login prompt no matter what I do.

Any tips on how fix this or a other way I could accomplish my goal?

Update

Got autologin working by ditching out greetd and using agetty, and a simple fortune command to run on startup.

After this I went for the kill and tried to install KOreader using flatpak, due to App Images not playing alright with Alpine. However I noticed something there is no arm build of KOreader for linux arm so my plans were cut short.

Will try to compile KOreader to linux arm if not successful will just put a nice UI and use the little guy as a portable hacking machine.

New update

KOreader was mess to compile so I looked for alternatives and found out foliate which fits my criteria (opds, epub and pdf support) and is in the alpine repos.

Played around with cage and got the thing somewhat working, however no virtual keyboard support for now, figuring that out now.

Perfect for group projects

Not upgrading just taking notes.

I got a rasberry pi 5 running most of my services now, and it's doing fine. Usually for my movies and stuff I go to streaming sites, legal ofc *cough *cough, but down the line I intend to build a media server too.

The stuff I got laying arround wont do much with upgrades. So if I indeed wanted to upgrade my setup and run a media server + some AI stuff, I think I would be better off just buying a nvidia jetson SBC than building a tower from scratch.

What do u guys think?

Civ VI is pretty cheap right now, grabbing it at the moment for 3€, but that might change from region to region.

The dlcs packs are pretty cheap too.

So I created this blog from scratch, and after posting my first article I noticed something.

I suffer from post-Post clarity

I have noticied before when posting random bullshit online, but holy shit, now having to write longer stuff, it's clear as day.

As soon as I press the publish button even after re-reading the whole thing, everywhere I look is spelling/grammar mistakes and stupid takes.

How in hell does this happen?

Anyways as a proof of concept any edit will be in comment thread.

Tried some times to get a home server up and running but never followed it through, last week got some time, grabbed my new rasberry pi 5 8GB (it's a f*cking beast) and came up with this setup.

Nothing unusual besides the podman quadlets/systemd thingies which I did not saw much out there.

Any tips and services recommendations?

What's is assumed as correct might not be tomorrow.

Many technical books suffer from that, being it small technicalities or huge issues.

Some books have new editions to solve that, however many don't and even then it would be useful to know inaccuracies present on each edition.

A simple issues page referenced in the beginning of the book would be golden, why inst it a thing yet?

Pls let me in !!! I want to go on the Goonbus !!! I want to goon, noooo, why can't I enter !!! I am a certified gooner !!! NOOOO DONT LEAVE ME Goonbus!!!

This week I read a post about the death of the Boeing whistleblower, and how Boeing might have suicided him.

I don't care about if the rumors are true or not, however someone mentioned in the comments that in such situations one should always have a Dead Man Switch.

For those who don't know a Dead Man Switch is basically an action TBD in case you die, like leaking documents, send messages/emails, kill a server etc . . .

The concept tickled me a bit, and I decided I want to build a similar system for myself. No, I am not in danger but I would like to send last goodbyes to friends and family. I think it would be cool concept.

How would you go and build such service?

I thinking of using a VPS to do the actions because it would be running for a while before my debit card gets cancelled.

The thing that is bugging me out is the trigger, I will not put that responsibility onto someone that's cheating, so it would have to be something which can reliably tell I am dead and has to run regularly.

Where is what I come up with :

• Ask a country association through email if am I am dead.

• Check if I haven't logged out on my password manager in a week. If it's even possible.

TLDR; Give me ideas on how to build a DEAD MAN SWITCH and what triggers should I use.

OK hear me out, I just got a new laptop and been using the shitty keyboard cover which it came it.

As it was kinda nasty I went looking for a new one, had my mouse mat on my left and though "uh if only u were the right size and a bit slimmer" and an idea just ringed my hears

"Laptop keyboard cover that could double duty as a mouse pad"

Soft surface and grippy edges so it wouldn't slide, washable so u can get ridd of the nastyness of the tables u bring it to.

Currently I carry everyday my laptop, my mouse and the charger. If bringing a mousepad was as simple as removing the keyboard cover and putting it in my desk I would pay a couple bucks for it.

My question is :

• Does it exist? ( not that I am aware )
• Would it be cool or niche of mine?
• How to make a patent and make scam kickstart?

There is a huge discount on Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice on steam.

Heard it was a good game so grabbed it to myself came here to give u the heads up.

Not posting price because it may varie from region to region, but at least where I am is 3€.

I got this one friend, a POS (Piece of shit) , who was always bugging me out for using Linux.

Yesterday I won a bet and I will be installing Linux on his laptop, what distro would teach that fucker a lesson?
