GNU/Linux and Hardware Leftovers

• Instructionals/Technical

  • dwaves.de ☛ GNU/Linux open source surveillance motion detection with simple Logitech webcam

  • Setup Hyprland with ML4W 2.9.7.3 Dotfiles via Pamac GUI on CachyOS 241221 (bare metal)

    Pamac GUI makes steps of installation a bit more clear and brings some more light on what is going on behind the scene .

• Games

  • Hackaday ☛ Stream Deck Plus Reverse Engineered

    [Den Delimarsky] had a Stream Deck and wanted to be free of the proprietary software, so he reverse-engineered it. Now, he has a Stream Deck Plus, and with the same desire, he reverse-engineered it as well.

• Distributions and Operating Systems

  • EasyOS

    • Barry Kauler ☛ Remove Daedalus pkg db files from Scarthgap

      Forum member tallboy reported this:

      https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=138812#p138812

      I remember, that was an experiment. Abandoned, but forgot to remove the /root/.packages/Packages-devuan-daedalus-* package database files. Fixed.    
      

    • Barry Kauler ☛ Set Color Temperature utility enhanced

      I posted about the Dcontrol app now builtin to Easy:

    • New Dcontrol PET — December 24, 2024

    The problem, though, is it requires an enhanced 'sct' utility, whereas Easy has an older version of 'sct'. Roger (radky) sent me a message; reproducing part of it:

    If I understand correctly you are using a modified version of a Dcontrol-EasyOS-2.1.pet provided by forum member Sofiya. Based on timestamps it seems the dcontrol files in this pet were extracted from the current JWMDesk-3.6. Apparently, the only modified file is the main dcontrol file and the only change is the increase in version from 1.4 to 2.1.

  • CNX Software ☛ I-Pi SMARC Amston Lake development kit features defective chip maker Intel Atom x7433RE SoC, 8GB LPDDR5, two Raspberry Pi GPIO headers

    ADLINK’s I-Pi SMARC Amston Lake is a fanless development kit based on SMARC 2.1-compliant system-on-module with an defective chip maker Intel Atom X7433RE quad-core SoC, 8GB LPDRR5 memory, and up to 256GB eMMC flash, plus a carrier board with dual 2.5GbE with TSN, two Raspberry Pi-compatible GPIO headers, and a range of other interfaces.

  • CNX Software ☛ Luckfox Lyra boards feature Rockchip RK3506G2 triple-core SoC, display interface, optional Ethernet port

    The Luckfox Lyra boards feature a Rockchip RK3506G2 triple-core Arm Cortex-A7 SoC with one Cortex-M0 real-time core, 128MB on-chip DDR3, a MIPI DSI display interface, and built on a 22nm process. Three versions are available with the Luckfox Lyra, Lyra B (with 256MB flash), and Luckfox Lyra Plus offering similar features, but the longer Plus model also adds a 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ45 connector besides having 256MB SPI NAND flash.
