Inside Putin’s purge: why Russian elites are terrified
https://elvirabary.com/putins-purge/, posted 26 Nov by peter in fascism propaganda russia war

remarkable-fs: A FUSE filesystem wrapper for the reMarkable tablet
https://github.com/nick8325/remarkable-fs, posted 6 Sep by peter in free linux opensource software
remarkable-fsallows you to see the contents of your reMarkable as a normal folder on your computer. All your documents and folders are visible; you can copy documents to and from the reMarkable, create folders, and move and delete folders and files. You cannot, however, edit documents that are already on the reMarkable (apart from moving or deleting them).It supports PDF files, EPUB files, and handwritten notes, but does not yet support annotated PDFs (they are exported without annotations).
