WW 2.1 – What’s Lama Cleaner?

Lama Cleaner is a and open source, self-hosted AI image manipulation program which can do anything from remove the background of an image to removing an unwanted person or thing from a shot, very cleanly. I know, I typically am very negative about AI on the channel, but this tool is open source and completely installable in anaconda (which is a version of the python programming language) on your system. It won’t phone home about the images you are tweaking. That makes it safe, and potentially a more convenient and private way to make memes or something like that. That aspect of it intrigues me, as I make several per week. Let’s see how to get that done, shall we?

Open the Terminal and enter the following commands
• Install pip
◦ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
◦ sudo python get-pip.py --prefix=/usr/local/
• Install Lama Cleaner
◦ pip install lama-cleaner
▪ This will install several things, and may take quite a while, depending on your internet connection, as it it will download over 2 GB of packages, once this finishes, I suggest that you install a few plugins
• Install a few plugins
◦ pip install rembg
◦ pip install realesrgan
◦ pip install gfpgan
• Run Lama Cleaner for the first time
◦ lama-cleaner --model=lama --device=cpu --port=8080
• Point your browser here to see the interface
◦ http://127.0.0.1:8080

Lama Cleaner’s models are plentiful and powerful. They can do any number of things, and each one does a certain thing better than the others can. In order to start Lama Cleaner, you may need to tweak your $PATH variable, or else it will not be found. There may be other issues as well, so I’m not sure that I can suggest you try this yourself unless you are more of a nerd than I am.

Some of these I use on a regular basis, others I’ve probably never touched, but it is valuable to have these at your fingertips, nonetheless. My most commonly used commands from this table above are systemctl, mount, umount, and reboot. Never used crontab or userdel. Sometimes when I am doing updates in the terminal and find that a reboot is necessary, I will simply sudo reboot now rather than using the mouse to do the same task. It is simpler that way.

WW 2.3 – A New ePub Reader from the KDE Team
Arianna is here! The KDE team have put together a new ePub reader and management app based on Kirigami and Qt. It is purty and has direct integrations with Baloo to make the management side of the app more of a joy. You can search for words in individual books, keep track of progress, and navigate using the keyboard. Why do we need another reader app when we have Calibre or Thorium already? Well, neither of them are so wholly integrated with any desktop environment, so there are clunky bits for each of these other options.
You can try it easily via a flatpak:

flatpak install flathub org.kde.arianna
