zbarimg may has trouble decoding some QR codes composed of CSS elements due to tiny borders around the blocks. In that case, apply a small gaussian blur to the screenshot, followed by sharpening. Use imagemagick for more automation.

These seeds are easily saved in:
- text file (encrypt with GPG)
- password manager (not full 2FA, but better than a password alone)

2FA backup tip: use ZBar Barcode Tools to convert QR code screenshots into alphanumeric TOTP seeds

DLT one (Damn Linux Tablet) - keeping an eye on this modular Linux tablet project on Hackaday

Two system-on-module (SoM) are being evaluated, ideally both will be supported. One has a similar SoC to the Purism Librem 5, the other is a Jetson Nano.

How cool would it be to have a modular tablet chassis, similar to the 24 year-old ATX standard for PCs?

Great turnout for Bitcoin & Beer (Denver). Shared my favorite onboarding books for people of all backgrounds.

Trying to demo #TxTenna v0.96 for the next #CypherpunkAcademy meetup, but I keep getting an “Invalid transaction” error unless the sending phone has Internet access, defeating the entire purpose.

Any suggestions to make this work offline?

Same issue confirmed by a Play Store review from Dec 2018
