@djsundog Hey, have you received your #Pinecil yet? I've been contemplating getting a soldering iron for a while, and this seems like a fairly good deal. I was wondering how you found it?
I'm very much a novice when it comes to all things DIY electronics, but I've had a soldering iron in my hands once or twice in life. :)
Good shit!

The newly added Quartz64 page on the pine64 wiki includes a link to the datasheet PDF for "Eink 10.3" 1872x1404 ES103TC1 Glass Panel Specification" that corresponds to the panel they're planning on offering alongside the quartz64 line, I assume.
if #eink is something you're into you might want to take a peek.
Direct link to PDF: https://files.pine64.org/doc/quartz64/Eink%20P-511-754-V3_ES103TC1%20Specification%20V3.0(Signed)-20190702.pdf
I call this one "the encyclopaedic illustration of information overload".

There’s a post going around on the birdsite that slams the emergence of the app web as a fundamental wrong turn in the evolution of the web.
I have some sympathy with this perspective although I suspect my reasons are not the same as that of the original poster.
My take is that all of modern software fundamentally got _documents_ wrong and the turn the web took is an inevitable consequence of that.

Happy birthday, Wikipedia 🎉
Wikipedia turned 20 years old on January 15, 2021!
Wikipedia has contributed to free and widely available knowledge like probably no other platform. Showing the world the true power of collaboration on the open internet and what a great cooperating community is capable of. ❤️
We had two days of snow within the last week! Here's a photo I took on Sunday that I particularly fancied.

This is very much worth thinking about given the current events:
"As we say in Germany, if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis."

Why is lowercase omega the symbol for frequency? Is it because it looks a little like a wave?

Plitvice Lakes were a good idea on New Year's Day. None of the people, all of the beautifulness.
