I have no idea how or when, but somehow I broke my e-reader's screen after almost 6 years of active usage.

I was very satisfied with simplicity of the PocketBook lux2 and now I need to find a good replacement.

A quick search on the internet revealed that the industry unfortunately moved towards touchscreens , which frightens me....

My ideal e-reader:

• 6 inch screen,
• physical buttons,
• no touch screen,
• ideally without backlight, but if it has, no big deal
• same open as PocketBook - so I can read books from my library without any stores, drm checks etc...

Why don't I simply buy the current PocketBook Verse ? It is 50% more expensive than my old model without any improvements, with freakishly small buttons and it looks much thicker than lux2.

So any recommendations will be appreciated!

This book was interesting to me in the part where Aristotle discusses tragedy plot and tragic hero.

If you are interested in tragedy plot or other basic plots, then Booker's book may be more informative.

To add some context, here are few examples of the classic tragedy plots: Breaking Bad, Anna Karenina, Oedipus Rex etc.

I have Wio tracker l1 pro and while it has dedicated “tracker” mode , Meshtastic app in route tracking using phone gps only. Is there some workaround to use nodes gps? Or maybe there is some iOS apps that can use nodes GPS as a source?

136 times is for arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf target.

Obviously, this number varies for different targets, for example fli is 88x smaller for aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu etc.

you can compare yourself for other targets here:

As a new converted baseball enthusiast, I'm curious where do you watch games? I know one can use mlb tv, but it is paid subscription, so that is not an option.

Also, it shouldn't be live games.

Thing I stumbled upon:

I added boolean argument & if statement inside sort_unstable_by closure:

//from
|&a, &b| compare(a, b) 

//to
|&a, &b| if is_reverse { compare(b, a) } else { compare(a, b) }

I expected binary to grow slightly, but actually ca 1KB smaller.

I dug into & found that the reason is: quicksort fn became 980 bytes smaller.

Why? Not sure. Inlining looks same, quicksort just has fewer instructions.

target: arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

Any ideas?

In this release:

• use ISO8601 for date time format
• sort by time
• unsorted output option
• colorized/text output modes for entry types

Full list of features and available flags is in repository readme.

rpi zero binary is still 18KB. It was both challenging and interesting to add new features keeping binary size small.

I don't have an intention to replace ls which is obviously preinstalled, I see fli as a complimentary daily driver. The north star of the project is to always have smaller binary size than ls , while extending or improving ls functionality

Interesting how much we can achieve with rust.

As for a new features, I see various sorting options could be implemented cheaply.

If you see ways to squeeze some more bytes, you are welcome.

Arguably more security than privacy, but this made me think. I havent considered the use of ambiguous fonts in phishing before. Worth reading.
