Dedoimedo ☛ How to mount iPhone running iOS 26 in Linux
Ah. Linux. iPhone. The perfect match. Or rather, not. Over the years, I've occasionally dabbled in iPhone support in various Linux distributions, usually with mixed results. More recently, as I briefly mentioned in my Slimbook Executive report 9 and report 10, there's been some improvement in this functionality. But then, a mere week after I published the latter report, I upgraded the iPhone 11 to iOS 26, and boom, the iPhone wouldn't mount in Kubuntu 24.04 any longer. To be more precise, the file manager, Dolphin, would show the device in the side bar, but any mount option, view option or anything alike would either result in an error of some kind, or nothing at all would happen. Awfully dejecting. A mere week.
Well, it's time to try to fix the problem. I've talked about this before, so you can look at my existing guides as the starting point. If these suggestions work for you, awesome. But you're more likely going to need what I have today. So strap in, and let's see if we can figure out a way to copy data off the iPhone. Begin.

[Old] Stanford University ☛ How to use OBS video output for video conferences on linux
OBS is a real-time video editor, letting you combine multiple video sources. In particular, you can combine a camera source with the capture of an application window, such as a PDF viewer showing slides. OBS is particularly effective using a “chroma key” (a.k.a. green screen) effect. You can sandwich your slides between a camera image of yourself and a virtual background. This allows you to present slides to your audience the way a weatherman shows the weather, pointing to content on your slides as if they were projected behind you in a lecture hall. If you use a green screen, any slides or whiteboard you show behind yourself will be much more legible than if they were actually physically behind you. As a bonus, the green screen lets you give a normal-looking lecture even if you don’t have a projector, large television, or whiteboard available.
