#xournal — Public Fediverse posts

Had some more time to play around with the newly acquired #PineNote from @pine64

I got a new user account setup using systemd-homed which gives you an encrypted storage for that user. This will require you to log in with a password each time you fire it it up. I consider that a good thing! I also registered my public SSH keys into the systemd-userdb, which then allows me to log into the device with this user account. During the SSH login, you'll be asked for a password too - which is used to decrypt the home directory. Logging out, and the home directory is locked again.

Also played around with various apps, especially #Xournal++ and #Rnote. Both highly capable.

What currently irks me the most is that the #GNOME desktop environment is really not designed for monochrome displays. There are so many different shades of grey everywhere making it really hard to read the screen. This is even with "High Contrast" enabled. GNOME really need a different working mode for eInk displays.

#Flatpak seems to work fine, but recommend to install apps using the command line and add the --user argument to flatpak install. The user data partition has more storage space available.

Next up will be to get #Syncthing and #OpenVPN setup properly (openvpn3-client installed easily). Considering if I want to setup e-mail on this device or not. With that plus backup (I'll be using #PikaBackup) set up, its getting ready for some real daily use.

I had no idea that Xournal++ had geometry tools. I discovered the compass and the speed square while doing some idle sketching for an upcoming coffee table build on the PineNote! This is the appropriate level of "CAD" for me at this stage of the build, graph paper with a protractor but super easy copy paste to visualize various combinations.

This is open hardware running free and open source software, I love this so much!

Unter #Werkzeuge - #Geodreieck

Da gibt es übrigens auch ein missverständlich benanntes Werkzeug "#Kompass". Das ist eine #Winkelscheibe, mit der sich perfekte #Kreise oder #Kreisausschnitte zeichnen lassen.

Ich nutze inzwischen fast nur noch #Xournal++ statt #OpenBoard und habe mir da die #Symbolleisten in der #Konfigurationsdatei komplett auf meine Bedürfnisse individualisiert.

im zweiten Bild sieht man die #Icons für das Geodreieck und "Kompass" ganz rechts.
