This is a memory that I hold ~~dear~~ with honor and glory.
FTFY
Very cool. I know someone, in a fairly small but funded field, who had this sort of requirement
Elsevier had the relevant publication, but they couldn't publish there due to access policies (or it was going to be painful to do so at any rate). So they started their own publication!
I forgot the specifics, but it essentially uses arXiv as the backend, and there's a (commercially available?) frontend that lets editors and reviewers do their thing. "Publishing" in this journal is essentially just endorsing an arXiv paper; so it's open access by design.
Really cool stuff. Their field is small enough that iirc they could kinda get critical mass to give Elsevier the finger and adopt this new platform. Warm fuzzy feeling thinking about it!
If the research was conducted with public money, it should be freely accessible by the public, change my mind...
It could be fun to implement this under *NIX for fun
cronjob to take screenshots, some OCR, throw it in a database...I'd never want to use this "feature" but as an academic exercise it could be a fun project.
But having it implemented by my OS, and not by me...yikes. No thanks.
Yeah, but where's Starfleet HQ?!
Double-sided phone could be pretty neat.
Another option is to remove it and symlink it to a static version of your choosing. I believe NM won't replace a symlink. You can just remove the symlink when you're done and it should go back to normal...I think.
If you self host, or want to try it out, Immich is amazing. It feels very much like Google Photos, but you can run it completely locally. Great integration with desktop and mobile, both Android, and iOS.
I'm not affiliated at all with the project.
So it's a security camera pointing at your screen, but with AI involved.
Honestly though, this sounds like the kind of thing you could hack together with a shell script and OCR on a *NIX system in an afternoon. Cronjob to take screenshots and run them through OCR, keywords to a database. Add hooks to your window manager to take additional screenshots on relevant events (change desktop, application opens/new window on screen, etc.).
Only additional thing I would do would be to try to ssh into it to. Sounds like that wouldn't have worked anyway. But if you can ssh into it while it's in a degraded-but-not-completely-borked state you can poke around, troubleshoot, and of course cleanly reboot.
