But this should not stop anyone from mirroring the Hobbes OS/2 Archive, too.

Many thanks OP for starting this thread and also big thank you to all suggesting
MullandMulch. I was not aware of those apps and will try out both of them.Here are some links to start from:
- DivestOS website with information about their apps: https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps
Mulldirectly from F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/Mulchonly from DivestOS F-Droid Repo: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.mulch/ - must enable repo first!
I really liked the
Bromitebrowser on my mobiles, but unfortunately it did not get (security) updates for a longer time. From the many discussions in the Issue tracker asking about status of the project, I could not get a clear clue about the situation, but fact is that the lastBromiterelease is from Dec 2022.From here Bromite is Dead, Use Cromite Instead I learned about and tried to switch to
Cromite, but on my 32-bit Android devices it is still very unstable.

1·10 months agoThank you for your detailed explanation and the wiki link 🙂. Good to hear that this (side-) topic is on the agenda.
As mentioned, I really appreciate your work around education and awareness of FOSS principles and chances
and I wish you a nice (remaining) Software Freedom Day.
Looks like a really nice and useful initiative.
Suggestion to the owners of the SFD webpage
I would appreciate the SFD initiative even more, if on the SFD webpage you would “live by your own words”.
Facebook and the blue bird are by no means free software, also not according to your definitions “free to study [how the program works]”, “free to distribute [copies]”, “free to modify [the software]”, “free to access [the source code]”.
So why not at least show the benefits and use FOSS social media alternatives in action?
If you need the momentum of the unfree social media, you still could do this additionally.

7zip.
Had to select “Other”, but meant:gzip,xz,bzip2,unrar,rarandzip.
If you are unhappy with suggested XSane, but only want an OSS solution, I do not know a good alternative.
Possible non-OSS solution
Although I am an open source enthusiast, there are few application where I use commercial, even non-OSS solutions on Linux. One of this exceptions is for scanning.
Background: I “administrate” some legacy Epson scanners used with my family’s Linux boxes and got them all to run with a software called VueScan, with the following restrictions:
- Perfection 3490 worked out of the box, no drivers required
- Perfection 3170 requires Epson drivers (iscan_2.10.0-2_i386.deb, iscan-plugin-gt-9400_1.0.0-2_i386.deb), but only runs on 32bit Linux
- Perfection V30 requires Epson drivers (scan-gt-f720-bundle-2.30.4.x64.deb.tar.gz) and simply works on 64bit Debian
As you see, it might be a bit of luck, if a device works out of the box or not.
Unfortunately your Epson Stylus SX435W seems not to be listed under the supported Epson devices (click red button “All drivers” to see all supported Epson scanners).
If you happen to find no solution, I suggest to use the trial version of VueScan and check if your Epson simply runs or not.
EDIT: sorry, I forgot to mention. that the VueScan GUI has plenty of those processing options you are searching for.

Only right answer is of course TCSH. Not much documentation and support, ancient but still receives new bugs in 2021 (on Debian), but attackers hate it! (I love it)
My real suggestion is to learn zsh and fish (and bash). Try using them for all your purposes and in the end you will automatically find the one (or more of them) that suits you best and that you like most for your daily tasks.
I prefer AppImages on my Debian desktops as they normally simply work out of the box (download, start) and I had (many years ago) trouble with snap and flatpak.
Hi @[email protected] , please try the following (found on the Startpage support page):
Add the following information:
- Search engine name: Startpage
- Search string to use:
https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=%s
But I do not know what the
/sp/part is about (maybe “sp” for “StartPage”?) and how the German/de/, that you seem to need, can be integrated.
Came here to mention “Pi”, too.
Funny that the original post is 3 years old but it is still so actual :)

We have purchased a very cheap Epson EcoTank ET-2815 about a year ago and it has earned its price already. Please note that this printer is for sure not a good Photo-printer, but it is fast and colorful enough for our needs. The printer is really “cheap” in a sense of dubious material (thin plastic) and bad design (e.g. compared to my ancient HP LaserJet). But it has the EcoTank, which means the color refill does not cost very much.
Also on the positive side it did immediately work attached to my Raspi print server, after adding it with CUPS and the following settings:
We can print from all PCs and mobile devices to it with no issues. Never have tried to scan from Linux with it (it is printer-scanner-copier)
Your question reminded my immediately about one of my favorite 35c3 talks Butterbrotdosen-Smartphone - Mein DIY-Smartphone-Bau from 2018-12-29. It is in German language, but has an English translation, too. Maybe it can give you some good starting ideas?
