Shouldn't distant objects appear magnified

https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/questions/54499/shouldnt-very-very-distant-objects-appear-magnified

Summary: Astronomy Stack Exchange discusses the concept of "Angular diameter distance turnaround," which causes very distant objects to appear magnified due to the expansion of space. In the Lambda-CDM model, this occurs at a redshift of about 1.5 or around 15 billion light-years. A galaxy from 400 million years after the big bang would appear as large as a galaxy 2.7 billion light-years away.

The ReMarkable Streaming Tool v2: Elevating Remote Work Efficiency

https://blog.owulveryck.info/2023/07/25/evolving-the-game-a-clientless-streaming-tool-for-remarkable-2.html

Summary: Olivier Wulveryck has revamped his streaming tool for reMarkable 2, aiming to eliminate the need for a local service and improve user experience. The new implementation features a three-tier design: server/client/renderer. The server exposes the raw image of the reMarkable's display, the client fetches and processes the image, and the renderer displays it on a PC screen. The updated tool offers better control over server-side load and uses Run Length Encoding (RLE) for data compression, reducing transfer size and improving efficiency. The application's source code is available on GitHub.
