#DuckDuckFedi whats the best OCR engine i could use to read badly scanned, german supermarket receipts? tesseract struggles with the non-uniform skew and such. i dont care if it needs more compute. can i get tesseract to OCR that with the correct settings or would I be better of with another OCR engine? only open source projets please, and prefferably with documentation in english or german available

#duckduckfedi Please advise.
Is there a way to send a bit of data somewhere from an iPhone in a way that a Linux PC would pick up once it's booted and do *something* with it (preferably in a form of a Python/Ruby script)?

I tried using iOS's #Shortcuts to write to a Dropbox file, and it's doable but tedious to work on and debug.

Hey, fedi, maybe you can help me out!

I'm planning to set up a small website for my girlfriend. I have a domain in mind, I have a VPS where I could host it, I have experience with web dev - but she doesn't. Like, at all.

So I'd like to setup something that she could use herself to edit the page. I guess I'm looking for a simple CMS, cause I'd like her to be able to use a wysiwyg editor. Or maaaaybe a markdown editor with a preview option. No plain HTML editing.

Also, I'd like some 90s flair. It'd be great if the website looks wonky and silly and fun :D
I've seen a bunch of people setting up websites that inspired this idea on neocities, but as far as I can tell I can't self host that, correct? Self hosting isn't a hard requirement, I could always use domain redirection or reverse proxying or something, but I do have a slight preference for self hosting.

As you might be able to tell, I'm not even completely sure what I need, so this question is very open-ended: do you have suggestions on what I could look into?
I've had a brief look at static site generators and frontends for those, but I never used any of them and ran into a few issues with gohugo (the first one I tried) that I wasn't sure were worth debugging cause I have yet to see how any of the admin frontends recommended for it would actually *look* and work.
I also looked at modern CMS options and they all seem to focus on providing professional and clean looking results, which is the opposite of what I want. Sure, a lot comes down to templates and stuff, but I haven't really used any CMS in over 10 years either, so I have a hard time telling at a glance which are actually dead simple to use.

So any ideas would be very welcome! Thanks in advance! :3

#DuckDuckFedi / @fedieltern habt ihr nen Tipp für irgendwas roboteriges (in Richtung Lego Mindstorm) als Geburtstagsgeschenk für ein 9-jähriges Kind mit breitem Interessensspektrum? Preislich gerne unterhalb von ~300€ (wir würden dann mit der Verwandtschaft zusammenlegen) aber möglichst flexibel und breit umbaubar.

Muss nicht zwingend Lego sein, sollte aber via Linux (oder wenigstens Android) anspielbar sein, wir haben kein Windows und kein macOS daheim.

Hey #DuckDuckFedi,

Ich habe eine Frage zu #urheberrecht Nehmen wir an, es gäbe einen Chor, der führt Stücke auf, die nicht selbst geschrieben sind.

Nehmen wir weiter an, man nimmt das auf Video auf und will das irgendwo hochladen.

Welche Rechte bräuchte dieser Chor dafür?

#DJ asking #duckduckfedi: ​:boost_ok:
#denondj promised stems on all EngineOS devices starting today. I have updated my Denon DJ SC Live 4 to version 4.2.0, but i have issues:

1. How do i enable them? pressing the hot cue mode button doesn't do anything, yes i have pre-rendered them on the PC and synced the playlists to a usb drive.

2. Why does the library not tell me which tracks have stems rendered? Isn't it supposed to do that?

3. How do i get the license? There is nothing on the website, there is no prompt on the mixer. Yes i am online and logged in.

does someone know it there is a way to CW images in an existing pdf document?

ideally it switches on klick from blured or blacked to the original image, and on klick it switches back?

i could find some tutorials for doing that while creating pdf's but so far could not find e.g. a GhostScript command to inject that functionality into a existing document
(without manually going through the whole thing because i do not want to look at all the images in there)

Edit: Der erste Kommentar hat's bereits gelöst :3

Sagt mal, weiß jemand wo ich einen Organspendeausweis als Plastikkarte herbekomme, der maschinell ausfüllbar ist?

Ich sehe hier nämlich nur die Optionen die Plastikkarte zu bestellen (ohne Beschriftung), oder eine Beschriftung zu erstellen (zum Ausdrucken), aber nicht beides kombiniert. Und aus Gründen der Lesbarkeit und Haltbarkeit hätte ich halt schon gerne eine bedruckte Plastikkarte.
