It's great to read some A4 pdfs even though one need to zoom when reading academic papers due to the small font used.
The e-ink screen is great to read under the sun but it really lacks some backlight to use it during evenings. I can read some paper books but not use the Remarkable unless I can have a direct light on it, but then there's a bit of shining.
- removable batteries can be stolen,
- can have issues due to bad weather.
They consider their design safer on those two points. It's imho a mistake.
I might work on it someday.
NFSv3 introduced READDIRPLUS in 1995: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1813#section-3.3.17
FUSEv3 (the library) will have support for such a call. It is already in the git repository ( https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/master/include/fuse_... ) .
Sadly, there is still no syscall on linux to do a "readdirplus" (usually called xgetdents()).
I do hope you're not restraining yourself from contributing to bfb because of the software license ☺
Could you please point me which licenses were made up or adapted on my repositories?
The only repository I could change is photoalbum because it might useful to someone else.
In tycat.c, you can see some code like: if (mode == CENTER) snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%c}ic#%i;%i;%s", 0x1b, w, h, path);
Because the path is given, it won't work remotely.
find | xargs tycat should work but doesn't (one more bug to fix :D ).
I'm currently working on text reflow when resizing terminology.
You can find a presentation and a small demo of the features on that presentation: http://billiob.net/blog/20110717_etiling.html .
E-Tiling is now the default tiling module.
