I’m curious, what devices do you have that support OPDS feeds? In the market for an ereader myself.

Any recommendations for an iPad SSH client?

Nothing to add, just want to express how much I enjoyed this article!

I was blown away by Shelved by Genre [1] this year. It’s a group of 3 reading and discussing Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun series in a sort of book club format.
They’re a pretty academic lot and I’ve found their perspective on the books very rewarding as I read along. Highly recommend!

Thanks for the reply, that's great info! I'll keep an eye out for the VCOM stickers, I had no idea that was a concern.
The waveshare e-paper screens I'm using come with some decent sample code for driving them, and I just found this Rust implementation that looks interesting as well https://github.com/caemor/epd-waveshare.
I do agree with you though that the idea of driving them directly with the waveforms sounds quite fun. I've seen some interesting stuff online where people have been customizing the waveforms to get even more performance out of them (maybe partial refresh would be fun to look into as well).
As someone who's only exposed to embedded development in a hobbyist way, that epdiy repo looks quite useful, thanks for linking that.
Now to find the time to add on yet more personal projects :)

Wow this is cool! I made a sort of similar e-ink display piece that shows your current song on Spotify - https://github.com/CampbellOwen/NowPlaying. Your project is making me want to try another e-ink project! I'm especially impressed with the overall polish of the enclosure and hardware, that's always my weak point.
I saw you mentioned you wrote a custom driver for the display controller. I'm curious how you found that process? I got the feeling a lot of these devices aren't documented very well, but that sounds like a fun project to tackle.

Unity at least isn’t a true ECS architecture, more just Entity-Component. You can write game logic in an entity with Unity, whereas in ECS that would have to live in a System

It’s not bad! This is the display I’m using: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/5.83inch-...
You can use any raspberry pi to drive it (or any microcontroller really) which is pretty cheap too.

Very much on the DIY end, but I made a similar e-ink art piece that shows off the currently playing song on Spotify. I used a 3 colour display to add some flair :)
It’s not the easiest to set up yourself - need to generate Spotify API keys and build the unnecessary separate binary for dithering, but here’s the project if anyone is interested!

Very cool, love the simple syntax

That exists! The graphics lab at my old university published a paper on this exact thing: https://manyili12345.github.io/Publication/2018/T2S/index.ht...
I have a ton of issues with NFTs and while I don’t love that a lot of my favourite artists got involved with them, I at least understand that perspective a bit more.
