  • Preordered the Libra 2
    4 projects | /r/kobo | 5 Oct 2021
    - It is likely that NickelMenu and KFMon will be updated to support the Libra2 and Sage. You can use them to launch custom software like KOReader, an alternate reader that gives more flexibility to PDFs.
  • Koreader installed but a lot of image files flood in my books?
    2 projects | /r/kobo | 3 Jun 2021
    NOTE: Another thing that bears repeating is that on FW >= 4.17, you'll probably also want to prevent Nickel from scanning *nix hidden folders. And you'll want to tweak your config before unplugging your device (i.e., before installing this; or, if you've just upgraded your FW, during the first USB connection after the update).
  • Is there any way to better organize books?
    1 project | /r/kobo | 19 Jan 2021
    Oh and step 4.( On FW >= 4.17, you'll need to prevent Nickel from scanning *nix hidden folders) from the link i sent you might be bit confusing to understand on first reading. Basicaly after you done the previous steps, before ejecting the reader you just open your config file which is /Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf , find line [FeatureSettings] , and under it paste this ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+) . It will prevent default reader(nickel) indexing the system files in koreader hidden folder as books.

    Here is an example of the WPE port of WebKit rendering to GLES: https://github.com/Igalia/cog/blob/0e76da6a6212fcd011d6d8e42e5d404096c88d56/platform/drm/cog-drm-gles-renderer.c
  • Ask HN: Is there a minimal browser like uzbl that is up-to-date?
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Dec 2021
    Thanks! Seems like like https://github.com/Igalia/cog is the answer, being a launcher for WPE, and it also supports WebDriver which is a plus. No documentation for config options and it does have a toolbar by default, but otherwise it's pretty close.
