Unfortunately the firmware supports only Orange Pi Zero3. It's a hardware+software solution, because to make reliable print server, you have to control both and fix SoC/board specific bugs. …

Huh? I don't have any PDF files larger than 150 MB (2500+ pages long). It won't be a problem. 512 MB is more than enough. The previous revision had 256 MB (that's a bit tight), and the …

>Perhaps I could set them up a Raspberry Pi as a print server? But that would make it not so cheap. And anyway, I’m not convinced they’d go for the extra plugs and wires. $35 and it's yours, w…

You might think that such an important and long-standing feature as printing would undoubtedly be backed up by a large company. This was true until 2019, when it was backed by Apple. Currently, howeve…

Xerox just removed all the Linux drivers first for the majority of older models (even actual ones, which you can still buy), Windows and macOS drivers second for selected models (yet). https:/&#…

That's definitely possible for simpler drivers (CUPS filters) which accept CUPS-raster data for input. That's a majority of drivers for old printers.

>but it's one of those projects that feels like it's going to end up being a rabbit hole. I know your feelings. I've started https://printserver.ink because I wanted to b…

It's a Samsung SPL device, it's supported by SpliX: https://github.com/OpenPrinting/splix …

Well it's kind of possible to block it with routing tables+rules only, but you're right. This is also painful if iptables/nftables binaries are not installed.

Anyone in "your lan" (L2 of the interface, sometimes L3 like VPN). Your containers/VMs will be fully accessible from other machines in "LAN" (hosting provider infrastructure, …

The Linux box instantly turns into a router as soon as you run `sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1`, because the default policy for FORWARD table is ACCEPT. You need to explicitly reconfigure the iptables&#…

ghostscript does not support jbig encoding, only decoding.

>the GitHub Actions log viewer is the only one that has crashed my browser. Not once. Repeatedly. Reliably. Well, THIS blog post page reliably eats the CPU on scrolling, and the scrolling is very j…

Damn you're right. It's double-confusing now.

Well, you're joking, but the entire RAM industry still lists their chips in Gb (gigaBITS) to avoid confusion. 32 Gb ram chip = 4 GiB of RAM.

I know the only other software with this kind of error: https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd/issues/807 …

>Unfortunately Archive.today complies with these attack requests in some situations, but is still usually better than others. Use Onion version :D

There are SoCs with 64 or 128 MB integrated, and people run reasonably complex stuff on it. I still have 64 MB VPS (OpenVZ) which I use in production since 2012. It runs DNS, VPN, some logging stuff.…

Linux (the kernel) has LOTS of functionality anyone barely use or even know. Without that, there's no tooling around this functionality, no adoption. Not even all TCP socket options (setsockopt) …

As my friend said: >If the old h4xx0rs make it easy and convenient so that there is no effort working with the system, their ass will fall off.

They can, and they do. Opera does great zoom + text reflow since ≈2010 and counting.

Oh, and there's TWO page zooms btw: the one you activate with +/- (or ctrl + +/-), and another one available with touchpad pitch-to-zoom / touchscreens (you can't use it on de…

It you know what you're doing and scrupulous enough, you can package the software in a way that it works 25 years later. https://xcancel.com/ValdikSS/status/184304496344…

AppImage is not what you need. It's just an executable wrapper for the archive. To make the software cross-distro, you need to compile it manually on an old distro with old glibc, make sure all…
