RIP Inkbox Tattoos - Doc Pop's Weblog

Inkbox Tattoos shut down today. They offered high-quality temporary tattoos that looked great and lasted for weeks. I was a huge fan of their service, but I had a feeling the end was near when they started pushing “NFT tattoos.” Aside from the NFT tattoos, *sigh*, Inkbox had three main product options (Wayback link here): […]

@haraldschirmer Das Hauptproblem ist weniger die Gewohnheit oder die Kompetenz, das #Remarkable ist eigentlich ein PDF-/Ebook-Reader, das ist eigentlich trivial.

Now I did get it working:
#RunCPM v6.3 on my #KoboMini #eReader
(in the SSH-console)
via #Inkbox v2.0 #Alpine #Linux
RunCPM has been #crosscompiled on my Linux-PC ;)

Cisco Talos is disclosing a new suspected data theft campaign, active since at least 2021, we attribute to an advanced persistent threat actor (APT) we’re calling “LilacSquid.” Multiple TTPs utilized in this campaign bear some overlap with North Korean APT groups.

Okay this is really cool. Just to see what it was like I installed InkBox OS 2.0 (based on Alpine Linux and using the QT framework) on my Kobo Nia*.

There are some very neat things about it, but what I really like so far is the storefront style integration with Project Gutenberg (public domain books) so you can get to reading right away.

* The Nia has had some hardware changes, so using the patch release for my hardware.

Soooooo, my #Inkbox temp tattoo came today. I needed to try it this way first before I make it permanent. I really love it a lot. It’s simple and understated but still means so much to me. #LLAP
