  • I wouldn’t say that GitHub is not stable. I hope we will learn what the reason was, I hope at least Tom will get to know what it was and I am sure he will take this into consideration.

    Of course I cannot speak for him. My understanding is that he is considering this, but his priority at the moment is to find out and solve the reason for his shadowban on GitHub. Maybe he will move to another platform (I think Codeberg was mentioned once or twice), but changing the platform will no doubt result in additional work that needs to be planned as he is doing this in his spare time. The GitHub situation needs to be solved first as he needs this account also for work as I understand it.


  • The creator’s GitHub account is in limbo. He can see everything just normal, but for everyone else it’s just a 404. GitHub support is informed but unresponsive.

    There is a Matrix chat where the creator posts updates (although there is not much to update): KitchenOwl

    There is no reason to believe that the latest version available on Docker Hub (0.7.7) is compromised in any way. If you want to play it safe use 0.7.6 (3 months old).




  • Although image generation like we have nowadays with the abundance of AI tools was maybe only thought of in the late 80s, it suffers from the same thing. A generated image can look technically perfect (no misaligned hands, strange architecture or broken texts), but you still can sense it is a generated image - even though the generation tool makes a different image every time. The same way an early replicator may have left some unnaturalness despite it producing a perfectly fine chocolate sundae.


  • I use chore-helper for Home Assistant for that. I chose it because I like the “after x days” vs. the classic “every x days” approach. If I forgot to clean the shower for over a week there is no point to have a reminder the next day after I finally did it, but I want it to happen x days later no matter how long I dragged the previous task.

    It hasn’t received updates in ages though and can be quite slow and complicated to manage. I want to have a look in ChoreOps to replace it.



  • This is something your domain provider has to offer to you. It is usually a paid service. Not all TLDs allow it though - so depending on your domain ending you might be out of luck. I don’t know your intentions, but if you want to evade prosecution because of the traffic going through your TOR node this will not work. Even with whois privacy enabled your provider must disclose your identity to prosecution. Even if they weren’t the A record (IP address) of your domain would link the domain to your server and would open another way to identify you through your hosting provider or ISP.











  • I am thankful for any input. Maybe it helps someone else looking for a similar thing.

    I think the collaborative part means sending PDFs from user to user and maintaining the ability to edit annotations. That may work for many use cases - a lot of businesses may be fine with that when email is still the communication medium of choice.



  • I have an installation of Stirling PDF, but in my short experiment it had no ability to collaborate on the same document.

    Every edit created a new copy of the document downloaded to the user. The annotations weren’t tagged to the individual user and sending different versions of a PDF from user to user is not what I am looking for.

    Stirling is a single user software in that regards. I haven’t tested the also mentioned BentoPDF but I suspect it to be the same as it is also trying to be a PDF toolbox like Acrobat. PdfDing has a slightly different approach it might be an option if OnlyOffice does not work out.
