Dear @linux and @academicchatter folks:
Please suggest libre/open source tools that allow for the extraction of text and images from scientific pdf documents?
P.S: I'm on a linux machine. Would like something terminal friendly, if possible!
I am thinking about hosting my own Mastodon server from home on a Raspberry Pi (Pi4 8GB)?
- Are there good tutorials out there?
- What's the annual cost just to host yourself?

Putting my #raspberrypi to good use by profiling my internet speed over the last six days. Looks like a seismometer at a System of a Down concert!
I am \\not\\ very proficient in programming, but can someone please suggest some nice little projects like this for me, please?
Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:
- Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
- Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
- Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.
