I use paperless-ngx to manage my documents, together with some rules that automaticaly ingest PDFs from my mail boxes. However, I noticed that a recently received invoice from AWS was not ingested as expected. Looking at the logs I found this error message for it: invoice.pdf: Error occurred while consuming document invoice.pdf: DigitalSignatureError: Input PDF has a digital signature. OCR would alter the document, invalidating the signature. I don’t know if a software update brought this refusal to run OCR on signed PDFs, or if AWS simply so long didn’t send me signed PDFs, but I needed to find a way to force paperless to ingest signed things as well as having all of that stuff stored in paperless is a vital part of my accounting workflow....

In the past I had a ton of issues with up- or download speeds not being what I paid for, packet loss issues and outright full blown outages. In order to put myself into a better position when reaching out to the ISP’s support hotline I figured it would be good to be able to proof not only the existence of these issues but to also be able to determine the exact times they happened at and also to verify and show that in fact it was only external connections that were suffering and it was not an issue with my own internal network....
