Pride System Icon (gitlab.com)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 
 

Just a little system tray icon to show support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Originally created last year as a simple one-off project in response to Windows 11 users getting mad about a pride icon appearing on their task bar.

This year I remade it in Go, added support for Windows (7 and up), and improved compatibility with a variety of Linux environments.

Let me know what you think, or don't, just please be nice about it.

Here is a review of a device that should be open source, it's not yet but probably will be in the future.

I have an RTL-SDR v4, and a Raspberry Pi. I am wondering if there is some way to get the ease of use that comes with the flipper zero with the pi. This is ignoring the packaging, and how small the flipper is. And also ignoring the replaying of signals, as additional hardware would be needed.

I'm looking for something that I can scan hand-written notes into and have OCR'd. Maybe one that I can even train on my handwriting. Ideally I end up with a searchable PDF of my notes.

People use one-note for this, but I'm not really comfortable with letting microsoft see my handwriting.

I'd like to compress my videos without using the terminal, what is the best GUI today that can do this?

Is this kind of program popular on linux? I know that ffmpeg is very popular on the terminal

Chromium... I'm so getting downvoted with this one.

Anyways,

I have an old Android 6 phone that is still not completely unusable and my older family members want to use it as a backup phone (in fact, they already do). They can't live without Facebook (obviously) so I installed Firefox on it and made a PWA for Facebook. It works surprisingly well but Firefox itself is quite sluggish and slow to open on that piece of hardware. So I'm thinking of installng a Chromium browser on it, as well as on my other old devices to make them run a bit better and just out of my extremely unhealthy curiosity.

But the problem is they all do not support modern arm64 apps that most Android phones use nowadays. Instead they need this other type called armeabi-v7a. There were Chromium based browsers that had a v7a version (Bromite for example) but they all suspiciously died at the same time more than a year ago. Does Chromium really not support the old architecture (or whatever it is) anymore or I'm just not searching well enough?

P. S. Advices to buy a newer device will not be accepted and will be treated with appropriate level of hostility.

Can I have some help regarding using yt-dlp.

  1. How to select a specific duration of video to be downloaded like from 00 to 600 seconds in video of 8 hours.
  2. When downloading songs from youtube with metadata and thumbnail I get thumbnails in rectangular shape instead of square. How to turn them square?

Asking it here cause, Discussion on repository is closed and it is FOSS software.

If I decide to self-publish a book what happens to the copyright? Is there a way to prevent others from claiming copyrights for a book published autonomously? Are there OS licenses specifically tuned for books?

I want to showcase the project I have been working on for the last weeks. GitHub and Gitea/Forgejo allow you to upload files and directories created during a continuous integration run (Artifacts). These can be downloaded as zip files. However there is no simple way to view individual files of an artifact.

That's why I developed a small web application that allows you to view the artifacts of any CI run in your web browser. This allows you to quickly look at test reports or preview your web projects.

I am hosting a public instance with support for GitHub and Codeberg under https://av.thetadev.de/.

Features

  • πŸ“¦ Quickly view CI artifacts in your browser without messing with zip files
  • πŸ“‚ File listing for directories without index page
  • 🏠 Every artifact has a unique subdomain to support pages with absolute paths
  • 🌎 Full SPA support with 200.html and 404.html fallback pages
  • πŸ‘οΈ Viewer for Markdown, syntax-highlighted code and JUnit test reports
  • 🐡 Greasemonkey userscript to automatically add a "View artifact" button to GitHub/Gitea/Forgejo
  • πŸ¦€ Fast and efficient, only extracts files from zip archive if the client does not support gzip
  • πŸ”— Automatically creates pull request comments with links to all build artifacts

Examples

Here are some artifacts to try:

SveltePress documentation site: https://cb--thetadev--artifactview--28-2.av.thetadev.de/

A bunch of test files: https://cb--thetadev--artifactview--28-1.av.thetadev.de/

Artifactview's own test report: https://cb--thetadev--artifactview--65-1.av.thetadev.de/junit.xml?viewer=1

Automatically created pull request comment: https://codeberg.org/ThetaDev/artifactview/pulls/2

A lot of old games have become unplayable on modern hardware and operating systems. I wrote an article about how making games open source will keep them playable far into the future.

I also discuss how making games open source could be beneficial to developers and companies.

Feedback and constructive criticism are most welcome, and in keeping with the open source spirit, I will give you credit if I make any edits based on your feedback.
