exiftool is one I use to tag my images and videos with my name and sort them. jq is another that does a quick export from json

Harder to backup and synchronize also

I usually use viking https://sourceforge.net/projects/viking/

For anyone else wondering, you can export all your Garmin data .Use the “Export All Garmin Data Using Account Management Center” option here https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=W1TvTPW8JZ6LfJSfK512Q8 The output is json files so you can use any json editor or anything that can import json. I use a little tool called JQ https://jqlang.org/ to extract just things I need. Then I can analyze in whatever tool I want such as a spreadsheet

If you read the announcement from them you will see that they are not moving previously free features to paid, all of the previously free features are still free, they are adding some new paid features.

I have an eTrex Legend HCx from around the same time. Actually had two but lost one on a trail a couple years ago. The other one the screw for the handelbar mount was ripped out so I had to drill through and put in a bolt though. I have replaced it with a watch, last year ago I bought an instinct 2s solar. It has 19 days of battery life and I top it off when I shower. So I can shower on sunday, skip shower on monday then to do a quick MTB ride tuesday evening and it still has enough battery life to keep going until I shower after the ride.

I was going to say imagemagick as well. You make a simple script to do what you need such as the crop and connecting together then set it up as a right click action in dolphin or whatever file manager your using.

Everyone is feeling the squeeze. For the last couple years employer have been reducing staff and expecting those remaining to pick up the extra work while not increasing compensation. Then the employers report record profits and the news tells how great the economy is doing while we are all struggling.

It already has all that. And the reason it doesn’t do it auto is so that you can yourself, so you know whats going on. I’m running nextcloud at home for example and apache, mysql, etc were already there so it was like 30 minutes to download and install nextcloud and set it up, very simple, easy and fast to spin up new servers. There are third party package managers that do like sbopkg so you still can if you want.

It is the oldest distribution and tries to not modify any source so as to keep things pure to the vision of the maintainer of whatever software you have installed. It doesn’t hold your hand, there is no auto find and install dependencies for example, but then again that’s one of its advantages, you know what you have installed and why. I picked up a raspberry pi a while back and gave their Rasbian a try. booted it up and ran its update and saw a Microsoft repo get added and stuff from it starting to download so I unplugged it real quick and put Slackware-arm on that microSD card and never looked back at the rasbian/debian stuff again.

I run Slackware on all my servers

Maybe two days, Sat and Sunday. Then simple black and white images don’t take a lot of space. 2857 files. 252mB

Instinct 2s Solar

I scanned all my college notebooks many years ago. Have this little handheld scanner called an CapShare by HP and on a rainy day one weekend scanned them all in. Only takes up ~250MB

Documentation is also at https://docs.slackware.com/ written by its users. And I find that it is a working system with minimal effort, there is very little that needs done after the quick install.

Its very nice. I use -Sr1 so I can then pull into a spreadsheet and look at the files and decide which one I want to keep.

They are not intended to be a finished product, you are supposed to add your own display and keyboard. If you want really portable start with the Pi zero which doesn’t have the big ports, then slap on a small display and keyboard of your choice. There are small kits like these https://ameridroid.com/collections/all-products/products/odroid-go-advance for example. There are also a few different ones with blackberry keyboards https://liliputing.com/beepberry-is-a-79-hackable-pocket-computer-kit-with-a-blackberry-keyboard/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/its-a-raspberry-pi-a-blackberry-keyboard-and-a-battery-its-the-beepberry/ (when blackberry quit making hardware they surplussed a bunch of keyboards)
