  3. Nobody shouted "Keyboard" in that moment. You probably can imagine what they all shouted ...

    A device which many people want Framework to make (see also the comments on this video) ...

    And if you still cannot imagine it, I was also one of the people who suggested to Framework whether they could make such a device. I made my suggestion some years ago in @frameworkcomputer 's community forums.

    Foi muito especial lá. Tinha muios palestrantes internacionais e eles todos daram a palestra em Inglês com intérpretes simultaneos para o pessoal ouvir em português. Eu estava o único internacional não utilizando os intérpretes, nem para dar as minhas palestras/tutoriais, nem para assistir as palestras de Brasileiros ...

    Isso tudo me lembra quando eu participava no FISL, não me lembro exatamente, pode ser em 2003 e 2004, e eu dei tutoriais sobre CUPS em Português, com a sala superlotada, pessoal assistindo em pé, os organizadores me daram 3 PCs (cada um com monitor CRT) e 2 impressoras para demonstrações de impressão em rede ...

    Em um destes 2 anos tinha também Jon Maddog Hall lá ...

    E tinha churrascos deliciosos ...

  11. @duke_of_germany

    Thanks for the bug report.

    It is a bug in CUPS, as, with CUPS generally accepting and preferring UTF-8, it should also accept UTF-8 in the "Description" and "Location" fields.

    #OpenPrinting

  12. @virtuous_sloth Thanks for passing this on. I have answered in the original thread.

    #OpenPrinting

  13. @dbat @duke_of_germany

    CUPS ist ja "Common Unix Printing System". Damit ist das Problem hier, dass die Amerikaner den Deutschen beim Betriebssystem-erstellen zuvor gekommen sind. Sonst hätte es Ünix geheissen und dann hätten wir auch CÜPS und es wäre von Anfang an auch an UTF-8 für Description und Location gedacht worden.

    Beim drucken von Textdateien wurde übrigens schon viele Jahre UTF-8 unterstützt.

    #OpenPrinting

  14. @itisiboller @duke_of_germany

    Und wenn der Bug dann gefixed ist, dann kannst du natürlich auch "Scheiße" in das "Description"-Feld schreiben, aber dann solttest Du wirklich darüber nachdenken, ob Du dir besser einen anderen Drucker (z. B. mit weniger Cartridge-DRM) anschaffen solltest ...

    #OpenPrinting

  15. @duke_of_germany

    Herzog von Deutschland,

    that is a bug. Especially these comment fields, description and location, should accept UTF-8 text, as many people want to fill them in their language, even worse for those who speak Greek, Hindi, ... (In German one can still work around with "Mein Buero", but this also only if one gets a clear error message so that one knows that the problem is the non-ASCII character in this field).

    So please report a bug on

    And at 01:00:52 you see that they really do it 100% open source now, after my hint of that PhotoPea is NOT 100% Open Source, Ryan has switched to the GIMP!!! Congratulations!!

    It is always fun every Wed to stay up 2am-3am (CEST) for the live production, and help Ryan, Jill, and Zeb a bit ...

    Unfortunately, I missed the Krazer LinuxTage ... But as this city continuing to be only 3 hours by train from Vienna (where I live) I will come to the ...

    Kool Konference in Kraz!

    In September, the Akademy, and there I hope to see you in person and a lot of other Kool Kode Kreators who kontributed to the Kool Desktop Environment (KDE).

  18. @lgm Will this printer be on display on the event? Does it support driverless IPP printing, so that one can print from Linux or from a phone to it?

    #OpenPrinting

  19. @hoergen

    18 Jahre ... Ein wirklich altes Schätzchen ... Und bestimmt nicht treiberlos, denn die Treiberlosigkeit bei Druckern wurde erst zum Anfang der 10er Jahre "erfunden" (von meinem Kollegen Michael Sweet, Autor von CUPS und einer der Autoren und Maintainer von IPP) ... Und bis dann fast alle Drucker auf dem Markt tatsächlich treiberlos waren, sind noch einige Jahre vergangen ...

    Dann hoffen wir mal, dass er nicht kaputt ist, aber 18 Jahre sind ein stolzes Alter ...

  20. @hoergen

    @tuxedocomputers Ist irgendwas über das beschriebene Druckerproblem bei euch bekannt?

    #OpenPrinting

  21. @hoergen

    Wie alt is der Drucker? Wird er von dem Kommando

    $ driverless

    gelisted?

    Läuft Avahi bei dir?

    $ ps aux | grep avahi-daemon
    $ avahi-browse -rt _ipps._tcp
    $ avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp

    Ist irgendeine persönliche Firewall aktiviert, die den Zugriff auf Geräte im lokalen Netz verhindert?

    Und wenn du den Drucker über USB benutzt? Ist "ipp-usb" installiert?

    Bitte poste den Output aller Kommandos hier.

    #OpenPrinting

  22. @oneloop You have replaced the auto-creation of your print queue by cups-browsed by just creating a permanent CUPS queue for your printer in driverless IPP (IPP Everywhere) mode. This is more reliable.

  23. @TheOneDoc @mntmn @BrodieOnLinux

    Sorry for making you getting spammed by YouTube. I hope you enjoyed at least the Tech over Tea ep. #299 with me about OpenPrinting ...

    Brodie, by the way, great thumbnail image. Reminds me to my Windows 95 PC (ugly!!) times in the early 90s ... The Flying Toasters screen saver!

    And now they come back for OLED monitors?

  24. @stack @smallsco

    This covers the front panel of your smart fridge, so you do not see the ads it plays and also the camera does not see any fat on your face or on your body and therefore locks the door ...

    So you print from an old Mac to a Linux server?

  25. @dreua The Print dialog is generally outside GNOME Papers' range of action, & it's all held together by toothpicks—allow me to explain.

    As seen in gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/papers/, Evince had hacks on top of GTK's print dialog. Papers won't do that as it's unsustainable & it won't work with sandboxing.

    GTK wants to outsource printing: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/i

    The portal is broken: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-des

    Settings needs an overhaul to reflect the new #CUPS: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c

  26. The video, with its thumbnail telling that it is all about the XZ problem, started right away with that it all started with a jamming printer, so not knowing in these first seconds that they also explain the origin of FOSS, my first thought got "Was it me?" ... but seconds later I saw that it was about Richard Stallman.

    Both Richard and me, our work was triggered by printers, Richard created the concept of FOSS and I created OpenPrinting ...

  27. I have found an interesting video about the xz backdoor, which got discovered on Easter 2024:

    youtu.be/aoag03mSuXQ

    The video starts with a jammed printer, but it is not my fault ...

    I had also blogged about it, with a lot of interesting links:

  28. @Daojoan I am posting news about my work at #OpenPrinting regularly and did already for more than 5 years.

    I intentionally do this as a written blog and not as videos, as on the blog you can search text, easily navigate, you can copy example code and paste, auto translators work better on written than on spoken text, same for accessibility tools ...

    Or do you prefer watching an old graybeard talking, and for those who want video, I get interviewed here and then.

  29. @jnsgruk @popey No self-3D-printing required. There is a case from CoolerMaster which fits a @frameworkcomputer 13 motherboard so that you can use it like a PC.

    I got a (now older) RISC-V motherboard from @deepcomputingio 's CEO Yuning Liang on FOSDEM 2025 for testing printing on RISC-V and I got it in such a case.

    The case has Wi-Fi antennas (with adapter to connect to the board), VESA (100 mm) mount, stand.

    No RISC(V), no fun!

  30. @marius hat mich interviewed für den Podcast des Linux Magazins. Wir haben über #OpenPrinting gesprochen, wie es vor einem Vierteljahrhundert los ging, was wir machen, unsere Entwicklergemeinde, die Rolle der #OpportunityOpenSource Konferenzen, die ich organisiere, meine Entlassung von Canonical, die Unterstützung durch die @sovtechfund und wie es weiter gehen wird, insbesondere mit der @linuxfoundation ...

    linux-magazin.de/podcast/lmp00

    Und noch einmal vielen Dank für die Einladung, Marius!

  31. @kkremitzki @concretedog I have invited the creators of the #OpenPrinter to our booth, but as the license for their published construction plans was a CC license with "non-commercial" restriction, the licens was non-free and so #FOSDEM organizers have not accepted them.

    The creators plan to open up their license once their printer is in production, so perhaps next year you will see it on FOSDEM ...

  32. I had a conversation in the YouTube show/Podcast Tech'o'Space. Everything about my quarter of a decade with OpenPrinting, the incident with Canonical and my recovery, my plans for the future, the OpportunityOpenSource conferences in India, ... And I had a lot to say, so the link below (episode #86) is only the first part, the second (episode #87) will come in a few days ...

  33. One of the last tasks I did before #FOSDEM was setting up a second hand laser printer in the #doghouse workspace. Made effortless by CUPS and Linux. Supernice then to chat to the people at the #openprinting booth including CUPS devs. Awesome work and my machine now has a cool sticker! #opensource openprinting.github.io/history/
