The ReMarkable Streaming Tool v2: Elevating Remote Work Efficiency
If the goal is to share the visual contents of the pad, why not just stream the graphics over SSH?
I recommend checking out reStream: https://github.com/rien/reStream/
-
My remarkable arrives today. Which hacks do you recommend?
reStream is a fantastic way to get live video of your reMarkable's screen without signing up for the reMarkable Cloud (which flakes out often with LiveView).
-
Using screen share via USB
reStream is what you're looking for. rMview used to have a reStream-like feature, but it hasn't been updated in a long while.
-
So thankful there's no advertising...
reStream should work, even with the latest firmware. I know there's a "brightness" issue, but I can't report it because I won't use GitHub. Someone submitted a hacky pull request to fix it by adjusting ffmpeg brightness settings, which should work.

Use RM2 to share drawing live via MS Teams?
Check out restream if you want an alternative, it doesnt work quite as well over wifi but over cable it’s not bad, and it’s free

Advice on Purchasing Remarkable or other e-ink tablet
But you can just ssh into the remarkable, it runs a Linux kernel. And then install software you want. I only use reSnap (which i wrote) and reStream
- What is my subscription for?

rmview question. Any alternatives to screensharing?
reStream worked well for me before rmview added ScreenShare support. The main downside with reStream is that the screen share is grayscale (as you see on the tablet), whereas rmview with ScreenShare has color support.

ScreenShare with Linux
I've been using https://github.com/rien/reStream, personally.
-
reStream latency
I recently installed reStream on my reMarkable 2. The screen mirroring works, however I am experiencing extremely high latency (over 4 seconds) both when connected via USB and Wifi. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it? From what I've read the latency is expected to be much lower (which would make it a lot more usable).

3rd Edition of Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Stroustrup

NixOS Is Not Reproducible
Yes, Nix doesn't actually ensure that the builds are deterministic. In fact it works just fine if they aren't. There are packages in nixpkgs that aren't reproducible: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aiss...

The xz attack shell script
I'm not familiar with Bazel, but Nix in it's current form wouldn't have solved this attack. First of all, the standard mkDerivation function calls the same configure; make; make install process that made this attack possible. Nixpkgs regularly pulls in external resources (fetchUrl and friends) that are equally vulnerable to a poisoned release tarball. Checkout the comment on the current xz entry in nixpkgs https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/comp...

Debian Git Monorepo
NixOS uses a monorepo and I think everyone's love it.
I love being able to easily grep through all the packages source code and there's regularly PRs that harmonizes conventions across many packages.
Nixpkgs doesn't include the packaged software source code, so it's a lot more practical than what Debian is doing.

From xz to ibus: more questionable tarballs
In this specific case, nix uses fetchFromGitHub to download the source archive, which are generated by GitHub for the specified revision[1]. Arch seems to just download the tarball from the releases page[2].

GitHub Disabled the Xz Repo
True, but irrelevant -- _some packages_, _somewhere_, do depend on xz, which, if built, requires pulling the source from GitHub (see the default.nix: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-23.11/pkgs/tools...)
It's not the vulnerability that's a problem right now (NixOS was protected by a couple of factors) but rather GitHub's hamfisted response.
That is the problem.
