You have the same device I have. I love that thing.
However, I keep mine disconnected from Amazon so I can’t really answer your questions.
Also, it seems we are trending deeply off-topic at this point. Might be better for a separate topic in the lounge.
I will take this as a complement and assurance I made the right choice.
Sorry. just the flow of “chat”/conversation.
I just realised that pdfjam, which I use only for Nup printing, also has scale and offset capabilities:
--KEY VALUE
Specify options to '\includepdfmerge', in the LaTeX
'pdfpages' package. Here KEY is the name of any of the
many options for '\includepdfmerge', and VALUE is a
corresponding value. Examples are
--nup 2x1 (for 2-up side-by-side imposition)
--scale 0.7 (to scale all input pages to 70% size)
--offset '1cm 0.5cm'
(to offset all pages -- note the quotes!)
--frame true (to put a frame round each input page)
--trim '1cm 2cm 1cm 2cm' --clip true
(to trim those amounts from left, bottom,
right and top, respectively, of input
pages)
etc., etc. For more information see the manual for
the 'pdfpages' package, at
Since pdfjam is part of texlive-core (being a front-end for a LaTeX package) and not relegated to the AUR, it’s a more reliable / better-supported way to do that. I’m not going to change my existing scripts, but it’s something to keep in mind if one wants to minimize one’s dependence upon the AUR.
That said texlive-core is much larger at ~ 400 MiB. In my case it’s always installed on all my systems, but YMMV.
Now I just need to talk someone into installing it in order to be able to try it out 
That’s interesting and not only is it available on your phone you can install it for CLI… I’m might need to give this a try.
Umbrello—a UML Modeller from the KDE software suite.
restic is an excellent command line backup utility and, more to the point, has excellent documentation.
One command (run once) sets up the external drive:
restic --repo <drive> init
One command backs up my home folder and subfolders (verbose 2 writes a detailed log, one line per file backed up or skipped):
restic --repo <drive> --verbose=2 backup ~
One command verifies the integrity of the backup:
restic --repo <drive> check
All encrypted and password protected (of course!)
Lets try. Just installed it with empty contact list 
I’m on! 
How can I connect to a QR code via CLI? Perhaps we should start a separate thread for this?
On the page that @swh linked to, there is:
If you already installed SimpleX Chat for the terminal
Click on it an see if that is what you need to use to connect to a contact.
I haven’t installed the command line tool yet so I haven’t tried.
Thorium, a superb yet almost unknown ebook reader.
There is an appimage on its site, or it is in the AUR.
(I used to use Foliate, but it had a habit of crashing - on more than EOS).
Thorium Reader and Readium Desktop both rely on Electron.js, node.js and typescript
yeah…i wonder why 
It is reliable. That is all that matters.
Ebook readers on desktop - any desktop - are in a poor state … there is a long list of abandoned, semi-complete or simply bad applications 
Reliable Electron
EPUB is such a soy format. It’s like an HTML document.
I prefer DjVu for all my documents and ebooks, but I tolerate PDF, too.
How can you tolerate all that bloat?
Reading stuff in plain text…jeez.
I read books only in machine code.
Plain text and markdown are the best, obviously, but most of the books I read do not contain a lot of text
By now I’m well populated with my installed system, so I haven’t discovered any new apps for me recently.
GPU-Passthrough-Manager
What a wonderful tool! Made setting up my GPU’s passthrough super easy. Just a few clicks and 2 reboots and done!
