Curiously, on many terminal emulators the following work:

Ctrl-2 = Ctrl-@ = NUL byte

Ctrl-3 = Ctrl-[ = ESC

Ctrl-4 = Ctrl-\ = default for SIGQUIT

Ctrl-5 = Ctrl-] = jump to definition in vim

Ctrl-6 = Ctrl-^ = mosh escape key

Ctrl-7 = Ctrl-_ = undo in Emacs

I think these probably originate in xterm.


Banking credentials are used a lot in Finland to sign into other services. This means you get phishing emails saying "your medical test results are available" or "you're getting a tax return" where the actual goal is to get into your bank account.


Estonia has this: <https://e-estonia.com/solutions/estonian-e-identity/id-card/>

Finland tried to copy it, but the Finnish card (while based on the same technology) is used very little. Finnish banks already had their own OTP solutions, which they started offering for authentication on other web sites, so no-one wanted an extra authenticator on top of that. This of course means that you get phishing emails pretending to be from all sorts of government services, where the goal is to get your banking credentials and take your money.

Since then, mobile phone operators added their own authentication system based on credentials residing on your SIM card <https://mobiilivarmenne.fi/en/>. You prove your identity when getting a mobile phone contract and can then use that to log into many sites.


Would be interesting to hear from someone who has compared this and https://daylightcomputer.com/


I’ve got a RM2 and a Daylight tablet.

In ambient light the contrast is worse on the Daylight than the RM2 - the screen background is quite significantly darker.

However, the Daylight has a backlight which increases the contrast enormously. And it’s usable in the dark which the RM2 is not. The much faster refresh rate also gives it a more fluid feel.

What I didn’t anticipate is the difference the screen makes in how I use and perceive them:

As the RM2 is so simple and static it feels more like a notebook or book reader that happens to be battery powered, whereas the Daylight is definitely a gadget.

I’m more likely to use the RM2 to take notes or do some thinking and the Daylight as something to tinker with.


Good point!

The remarkable is a lot more like paper and has that simple feel.

Daylight was created for the express purpose of being a portable computer you can use in direct sunlight. It can also just be your notebook but it does so much more than take notes.

I may be a little bit biased but I'd personally prefer a non-laggy device with a little bit worse contrast.

To each their own!


I have both. Daylight is _amazing_ for reading and marking up technical PDFs and books. Also good for marking up web pages.

Remarkable screen and pen latency is much better.

I hope they both succeed. Both awesome. I'll probably get this new Remarkable as well.

(That being said, I use my pen and paper bullet journal ($30) more than both of these combined).


The Remarkable screen and pen latency are better than Daylight? That's opposite of what I've heard previously.


The Daylight screen is _amazing_ for reading technical books. The pen isn't anything special, and I don't like it's thickness, but good enough to get the job done.

Here is a photo I took from earlier this week: http://hub.scroll.pub/daylight2/


Afaik we put the same kind of high polling rate Wacom digitizer that remarkable uses.

Any quirks you notice between it and the daylight would be fascinating to note! Wacom is the most fluid digital pen system on the market from what we could find, especially compared to Ntrig, USI and other approaches.

Also you can use other pens other than the one we included in the box


> Any quirks you notice between it and the daylight would be fascinating to note!

Okay, my Remarkable 2 is currently broken (screen breaks more than I wish. They don't have Apple's level of reliability yet .3rd replacement), so I can't test directly at the moment.

> Also you can use other pens other than the one we included in the box

Oh cool! The pen in box is good enough for me, but now I'm going to look into getting a thin one. Thanks!


I haven't used a Daylight (yet) but here's a side-by-side video of them being used in sunlight: https://x.com/daylightco/status/1808213555579441214

The reMarkable has better contrast, viewing angle, and resolution, the Daylight has a far better refresh rate. There are other tradeoffs between them of course, but display-wise, those are the main ones


DC has even worse contrast than e-ink.


Since when does e-ink have bad contrast?


Depends what your reference is. E-ink displays without a lot of layers (especially Carta 1250) have pretty good contrast, on par with matte paper. Some devices with a thick frontlight layer and a Wacom layer and a touch layer are less impressive.


My Onyx BOOX has at best a background comparable to very dirty newsprint.

I find myself reading with the frontlight on under most indoors circumstances, unless I'm in direct sunlight. With the frontlight, it's fine. Text may be somewhat more washed out, but that bothers me less than a darkish background.

Under sunlight the contrast is actually about perfect, as white paper tends to be too blindingly bright.

My tablet has several layers: capacitive touch, Wacom, and frontlight, all of which probably contribute to the lower contrast.

Mind: I'm addressing your "bad contrast" question. I find the trade-offs reasonable, and for reading ebooks (as opposed to Web browsing or other app use), the frontlight battery consumption is quite reasonable.

If I'm just using the device casually (e.g., listening to podcasts or checking something quickly) it's fine to use w/o the frontlight, but for immersive reading I'll either have a strong reading light, frontlight, or head for a convenient sunbeam.


Have you ever compared with actual printed paper?


Never, and I’m not even sure about the ratio — I just never noticed poor contrast on my old Kindle, which I’ve been using for the last 10 years or so.


Printed paper (black on white) has a contrast ratio of 1:50 to up to (for glossy paper) 1:200, significantly higher than e-ink.

It's not really a scam but rather a technology that's still in its infancy. I think of it more like the Palm Treo and Blackberry: they're not great but hopefully we're progressing towards the iPhone. I wouldn't buy one at the moment, though.


It's a scam as in it costs much more than the B/W displays but has worse specs than it.


E-ink contrast is something like 1:15, it's pretty bad.


*) in the realm of electrophoretic displays or with strong ambient light, not compared to some 2000 nit OLED in the dark


My reference point is physical paper.


You think e-ink has worst contrast than physical paper? How so?


I hold them side by side.


what's the contrast of physical paper in the dark?


We are talking about e-ink without added edge lighting. I found that if I have to crank up the internal lighting of an e-reader to get adequate contrast, then I may as well use a tablet, because it isn’t reflective illumination anymore to the eye.


I have a Dasun Color, it's by far the worst purchase I ever made. Turd.


I recommend checking out Caddy <https://caddyserver.com/>, which replaces both Nginx and Certbot in this setup.

Tailscale <https://tailscale.com/> can remove the need to open port 22 to the world, but I wouldn't rely on it unless your VPS provider has a way to access the server console in case of configuration mistakes.


Caddy also simplifies many common Nginx configurations with a one-liner. The biggest hurdle is when you don’t have a simple configuration, as all the examples are usually only for Nginx ;)


I've recently discovered, that Caddy config file has a neat support for imports: https://pastebin.com/vVQYrpmj


Regarding tailscale, be sure to remove the expiration flag on your server. That's how I lost mine.


For Tailscale backup access, another way is to block port 22 on a firewall and then only unblock it if you need access.


If you depend on the host behind Tailscale to access the firewall from the inside then that's not going to work. Most colos I have hardware at offer a separate network for iDRAC/ILO/your flavor of OOB management, I like to use the console through that to open/close stuff like this.


The blip could be a focal seizure, you might want to talk with a neurologist? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_seizure


You can run it in Jupyter notebook. They have a lightweight implementation of that at https://live.sympy.org/ but the closest counterpart to Maple would probably be SageMath, which includes sympy and a lot more. https://www.sagemath.org/


"Sizes are first come first serve" so I suppose they estimate how many of each size they need and then let people get a shirt as long as their size is available.


pats belly get those xl's ready


The TurkuNLP team does have the best previous-generation language model for Finnish (FinBERT). The current version of ChatGPT speaks passable Finnish, although definitely not at the level it speaks English. None of the open-source models I've tried come close to ChatGPT performance.

If they can gather a good multilingual dataset including the smaller European languages, and burn enough money on the compute, they could create a useful model for some specifically European use cases.


I think they were credited in each season finale - a "Thank You for Calling" screen.


IIRC they're also credited in each episode credits.
