- Comment on 💞 FairScan > Syncthing > Paperlees-ngx 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I do this:
magick “$file” -limit memory 1GiB -limit map 2GiB -threshold 60% -define connected-components:area-threshold=5 -define connected-components:mean-color=true -connected-components 8 output.pngIt makes the scan 1-bit black and white. It mostly removes bright background images, if there are any on the pages. I think it works quite well for basic black and white documents, but color graphics and graphs aren’t preserved.
- Comment on 💞 FairScan > Syncthing > Paperlees-ngx 3 weeks ago:
Its a hacked together shell script. I wanted to learn shell scripting, but I should’ve probably programmed it in python.
But it basically does this:
- scan pages as png via scanimage in gray scale
- convert the image into a high contrast b/w one with image magick
- sort pages if I have to combine two scans (front and back side)
- create a single pdf of all the document pages via image magick
- move pdf to the paperless folder
I won’t share it because it’s really ugly and some of the functionality can be done with paperless native, like combining the pages of two scans. Which would’ve been easier.
- Comment on 💞 FairScan > Syncthing > Paperlees-ngx 3 weeks ago:
No, I use a printer/scanner combo for scanning my files. I trigger a shell script via HomeAssistant which starts the scanner, cleans and fixes the order of the pages for two sided documents, and then puts them into the paperless folder.

I got an 27" 4K screen at home and I wouldn’t want less pixel density for work. At work I got an 24" 1080p screen, which is OK, but not great.

The big problem are the RAM prices at the moment. Hard to set a number if you don’t know if the RAM prices double or quadruple in the coming months.

You’re right. It seems that you need the “OpenThread Border Router add-on”:

I don’t know, after three weeks? Also the bigger issue are the digital games I’ve bought.

The steam machine is a small PC with Steam OS (The same that runs on the Steam Deck).

Yeah. I’ve missed out on Yakuza 0 for 5€, now it’s always 12€. I mean it’s probably worth it, but not when I already own a ton of games that I still want to play.

No, its something different, according to the blog:
First up, the brains of the watch is the JL7012 - which is a deliberately underpowered chip.

That would be a cool project. But I guess you would at least need a 48 core CPU or something similar.
