@Edent what's so bad about <div> ... or: Why do you want to avoid them?

@Edent I think I'd try messing about with the `189` value.

Usually half a fish eye is 180°, not 189° — but I guess that's where the overlap comes from.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@derickr Yeah, the vague specs I can find suggest each lens is 200⁰ - the sweet spot for decent enough stitching is around 190ish.

@cos @Edent If you read the post you would have seen that I was talking about random spam DMs with unhideable CSAM and hate spoech avatars. Also if this were FUD I'd be shilling something else. May you have permanently wet socks and unidentifiable junk stuck between your most sensitive teeth.
Good day.

@Edent If you enjoy the nerdery and want optimal results, try calibrating it. Take some images of chessboards at different angles and feed into OpenCV or similar.

One tutorial I found: https://medium.com/@kennethjiang/calibrate-fisheye-lens-using-opencv-333b05afa0b0

I'm guessing they do this in the factory and store the calibration in the firmware, to account for manufacturing variation.

@eclectech @Malwen @Edent Sorry, I didn't come up with a good solution for that part - harder than I expected. I'm watching the thread for when our official app stops working!

@Edent look ma i'm famous!

@Edent Lovely winter beer, that.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@rimu pretty sure it snows in Iran during winter. Not everywhere, but certainly enough places to sustain a skiing industry.

@Edent 5.32kWh here today, house was running on >50% solar for quite a while

[licho@kolektiva.social]

@Edent is it kindle 5?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@licho I think it is a 4 - but they're basically the same as far as I can tell.

[robert@irrelevant.me.uk]

@Edent
Ooh interesting. I've got a small stack of kindles, including the one with full keyboard and built in Sim card for free internet anywhere. (except browser is so old not a lot works anymore, nor does the amazon store..) had that one since new :-(

[edent@mastodon.social]

@robert Lots of jailbreaking information at https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle4NTHacking

[greem@cyberplace.social]

@Edent I bought one recently to use as a passive display for #HomeAssistant but I reached the same stage as you, jailbroken but nothing more.

I'll get there in the end!

[aaron_davis@toot.cat]

@Edent I'm so used to iPhone (and iPod) jailbreaks, so it surprises me to see this on a Kindle!

[fazalmajid@social.vivaldi.net]

@Edent I recently got a PocketBook Verse, which has a microSD slot, no ads and works just fine with DRM-stripped ebooks and PDFs. Only to realize I actually prefer LCDs and OLEDs to e-ink.

[derickr@phpc.social]

@Edent I added this when you wrote about it last time.

You can change the .html to .txt on all of my article links: https://derickrethans.nl/php-500.html / https://derickrethans.nl/php-500.txt

[edent@mastodon.social]

@derickr Ah! So you did. I'll add it now.

[awfulwoman@indieweb.social]

@Edent I’ve been tempted to do something similar but flashing with th TRNML software. Glad to see this working. https://usetrmnl.com/guides/turn-your-amazon-kindle-into-a-trmnl

[edent@mastodon.social]

@awfulwoman I had a play with TRMNL last year and was a bit unconvinced by it.

But, anyway, this Kindle is too old to run anything like that.
