  • Happy Software Freedom Day [16th of September 2023]

    Jump

  • Looks like a really nice and useful initiative.

    I would appreciate the SFD initiative even more, if on the SFD webpage you would "live by your own words".

    Facebook and the blue bird are by no means free software, also not according to your definitions "free to study [how the program works]", "free to distribute [copies]", "free to modify [the software]", "free to access [the source code]".

    So why not at least show the benefits and use FOSS social media alternatives in action?If you need the momentum of the unfree social media, you still could do this additionally.

  • Do you mean that the filesystem itself had optimization so that searching from the command line (find, grep) was fast?

    Or do you think more into the direction of the desktop apps Finder and Librarian?

    At least I remember the Librarian.app was great for indexing and quickly searching through large amount of texts (from various formats).

  • Thanks alot for the details.

    Very interesting, I did not know that the Mac SE/30 and the (cheapest) NeXTstation had comparable prices.

    What I knew (for here in Germany) was that PCs were expensive (compared to today), but much cheaper than the Macs and NeXTs.

  • Here you can take a look at the NeXTstation brochure, it is mentioning your price of $5,000 on the last page.

    Do you by any chance know what around the same time the costs for a "normal" PC was? Just to get an idea about the difference.

    From their About page:

    What makes MetaGer special?

    MetaGer is different from other search engines. This is reflected not only in our public good orientation and focus on privacy, but also through some unique features:

    • Possibility of creating a personal blacklist
    • Function of the search in the search
    • Advertising-free search possible
    • Integration of search engine projects like YaCy
    • The only German search engine that combines results from several large web indexes
    • And much more..

    What We Stand For

  • Ein Update von https://feddit.de/post/3383520 bzw. https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/verbraucher/balkonkraftwerke-100.html vom 13.09.2023:

    Die Bundesregierung will die Installation von sogenannten Balkonkraftwerken erleichtern und hat dafür Änderungen im Miet- und Wohnungseigentümerrecht beschlossen. Damit sollen Menschen ohne ein eigenes Haus künftig leichter eine kleine Solaranlage auf dem Balkon ihrer Wohnung anbringen können.

    Der Gesetzentwurf sieht vor, dass die Stromerzeugung durch Steckersolargeräte in den Katalog der sogenannten privilegierten Maßnahmen aufgenommen wird. Das sind bauliche Veränderungen, die von Vermietern und Wohnungseigentümergemeinschaften (WEG) nicht einfach blockiert werden können. Bislang gehören zu diesem Katalog der Umbau für Barrierefreiheit, E-Mobilität, Einbruchschutz und Telekommunikation.

  • What's the best Epson scanner software for Mint?

    Jump

  • If you are unhappy with suggested XSane, but only want an OSS solution, I do not know a good alternative.

    Although I am an open source enthusiast, there are few application where I use commercial, even non-OSS solutions on Linux. One of this exceptions is for scanning.

    Background: I "administrate" some legacy Epson scanners used with my family's Linux boxes and got them all to run with a software called VueScan, with the following restrictions:

    • Perfection 3490 worked out of the box, no drivers required
    • Perfection 3170 requires Epson drivers (iscan_2.10.0-2_i386.deb, iscan-plugin-gt-9400_1.0.0-2_i386.deb), but only runs on 32bit Linux
    • Perfection V30 requires Epson drivers (scan-gt-f720-bundle-2.30.4.x64.deb.tar.gz) and simply works on 64bit Debian

    As you see, it might be a bit of luck, if a device works out of the box or not.

    Unfortunately your Epson Stylus SX435W seems not to be listed under the supported Epson devices (click red button "All drivers" to see all supported Epson scanners).

    If you happen to find no solution, I suggest to use the trial version of VueScan and check if your Epson simply runs or not.

    EDIT: sorry, I forgot to mention. that the VueScan GUI has plenty of those processing options you are searching for.
