(now if AppImages would work on musl systems …)

Anthony Bourdain

ImageMagick really is a Swiss Army Knife of usefulness …

a more obscure option is exiftool – and documention

• setup an input folder and a destination folder beforehand
• copy photos from phone to input folder
• bonus: decide on separate suffix or initials for each of you

exiftool -progress -d <destination-folder>/%Y%m%d-%H%M%S-<suffix>.%%le "-filename<CreateDate" <input-folder>

    -progress
        verbose and shows an [x/y] progress
    -d <destination-folder>/%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S-<suffix>.%%le
        renames to YYYY-mm-dd-HHMMSS-sfx.ext format
        and lowercases the extension
    "-filename<CreateDate"
        uses the image creation date (from EXIF metadata) for the above naming scheme

or just get completely sidetracked:

• osh / ysh – https://oils.pub/
• nushell – https://www.nushell.sh/
• BSD side – oksh, pdksh, mksh
• Plan 9 / 9front – rc, es

skip the DSA and go straight for IWW

(paraphrased) “The user of the illegal service may fund the activities of criminal organisations, says Executive Director Jaana Pihkala from the copyright organisation TTVK.”

as opposed to paying the even more criminal publishers scalping the rights and screwing the creators

start with something simple that’ll teach the basics of Linux – like LFS

depending on preferences, alternatives could include UwUntu or Nyarch

(sidetrack: crontab guru helps you make sense of the first part of each crontab line)

• Codeberg
• sourcehut
• radicle
• self hosted

• -auto-orient – auto-orient will read from EXIF
• -strip – strip will remove all metadata
• WARNING: if you’ve already used -strip, then -auto-orient will do nothing

• Rust has Redox
• Hare has Bunnix

Alpine Linux + LabWC – as I update my hardware, I seem to end up paring down my software – the more powerful the computer is, the less use I make of its capabilities 🤷 – I’ve worked with Macs and Windows, and settled on Linux more for its simplicity than anything – I don’t have any problem with MacOS or Windows themselves so much as the companies behind them

Alpine is a nice, clean, lightweight distro that works surprisingly well on a desktop despite the whingers complaining it’s for containers only … Pop!_OS ⇒ Debian Stable ⇒ Alpine (with Gentoo back in the dawn of history)

LabWC is the spiritual successor to Openbox, a nice simple stacking window manager that I’ve added a handful of tiling keybinds – I’ve added utility programs as I’ve wanted them rather than going for the cohesiveness of a proper desktop environment … Gnome ⇒ Xfce ⇒ LabWC (and with Openbox way back when)

oh hey, a project that actually has a manual to read

Alpine Linux 3.22 introduced the 2019 patch to use TER16x32 console font – it’s not a bad font, but yeah: fbcon=font:VGA8x16

now … how many of those were by Linus?
