My university is pushing for us to ensure that all our documents are accessibility-friendly. I write all my documents in LaTeX and have been taking the steps and measures to ensure that everything I generate is tagged, has alt text, and colour-blind-friendly.

Unfortunately, it seems the only way I can check for PDF-UA compatibility is with Acrobat Pro which the uni does not provide for us. What's more is that I use Linux and Acrobat doesn't work in that OS.

Is there a Linux-friendly libre software that can check if my PDF document is compatible with the machine-checkable requirements of Matterhorn Protocol?

Hi all,

I'm working on OpenSquawk, an open-source project building an AI air-traffic-control assistant for MSFS & X-Plane.

Core tech: voice-to-text, intent parsing, text-to-speech, Node.js backend + Nuxt front-end + .NET bridge.

If you have skills in Js, C#/.NET, Node/Nuxt, or speech/NLP and want to help steer this to completion - drop a message here or DM me. Happy to show the codebase, roadmap, issues.

Thanks also for any thoughts on this!

Is there an alternative of airdrop on android?

My understanding of airdrop (could be wrong) is that it is able to share files even without internet connection. (does not connect to wifi or cellular network)

Is there an open source alternative of airdrop on android that can share files / clipboard without internet connection? just transfer directly from one device to another?

thanks a lot

syncthing does not support ignore file by size. Is there an alternative for syncing between windows and android that takes little memory like syncthing?

all tips are welcome. Or links to tutorials that do this or anything really.

Is there a good latex ocr model that I can run with Ollama?

I have tried https://github.com/lukas-blecher/LaTeX-OCR but the result is just not promising. Is there a good Open Source latex ocr tools that I could use with ease?

I am hoping that there is a ollama llm with image support that specializes on latex ocr.

thanks a lot in advance!

HestiaPi is the only purchasable open source thermostat that is mostly plug and play as far as my research has found. I'm looking to get rid of my Nest V1. I haven't had it on WIFI for 4 or 5 years because it wouldn't take my password after a version update around then. I did a hard reset after that and it is running its out if the box smart mode now.

My biggest concern with HestiaPi is that its GitHub looks stagnant. Does anyone have any experience with HestiaPi? Is it secure and stable? Are there any other projects that I'm missing out there? FWIW, I am not into home automation and don't want any solutions in that respect.

Complete rewrite for legal reasons, so only Geekbench is supported

Hello everyone! I noticed that many people here are willing and interested in contributing to the open source world with amazing talents, but unable to find a good project to contribute to.

So I was wondering if it would be a good idea for us to group up together, and create a club where we could explore different open source projects, and contribute to it, while contributing to the good of the community we use.

Experienced contributors could also contribute and assist in beginners by mentoring on the method of contributing to open source too.

What do you say?

Hello again!!

Sorry for the big delay in the announcements. I know it has been a long time I have not made any announcements, but I will try my best next time this doesn't happen again.

So, through the medium of this post I would like to share with you all the v1.15.0 major release version of the websurfx project which was released on the 25th of March.

If you are new, and you don't know what is websurfx then I would suggest taking a look at my previous post here:

https://programming.dev/post/2678496

Which covers in depth about what the project is and why it exists.

Credits

Before I share with you the changelog, what this release version means and a preview on what we are planning to work on for the next major release v2.0.0. I would first like to thank all our contributors and maintainers because of whom this was all possible. Specially I would like to thank spencerjibz, ddotthomas and evanyang1 who have been invaluable to the project. Also, Websurfx would not have been possible without alamin655 and xffxff early involvement.

Thanks 💖 to all the people involved in the project

Now, let's dive straight into what this release version actually means.

What does this release version means

This new release version v1.15.0 introduces the new ranking algorithm for search results on the search page which ranks the results based on the relevancy to the user's search query.

You can find the current ones at labels.tahoe.be, but this is all a work in progress!

Had fun making this little tool for generating YouTube links with timecodes from mobile devices. You can check it out here: https://tahoe.be/youtube-timecode

This is still somewhat of a work in progress so I'd appreciate some feedback! Hope you guys like it :)
