    Passing data from camera to OpenGL broke my mind. The code is still far from what I'd call nice, but feel free to steal anything you want! Once I verify that debayering still works…

    There are two main differences. First, libobscura doesn't yet fully support even UVC webcams, and second, related to the quote, is that you will not run into segfault with libobscu…

    I guess my initial reaction was wrong: not having code in non-English languages doesn't accurately represent developer sentiments. There's a lot of translation efforts in open sour…

    Why is that a good thing? I get the idea that a common language is beneficial, but the flip side is the knowledge and effort of the people who know another language. That's lost du…

    Thanks for the report. I don't have access to Safari, so there isn't much I can do right now :/

    You can use QtCreator that way already: https://dorotac.eu/posts/debugging_rust/ You can view the data structures opaquely even though the functions are written not in Rust, but in…

    Start in the middle. It's the most interesting part, too. After all, that's the core of your idea. I don't know where I heard this, but the idea is so important to me that I saved …

    Thanks! That's the Markdown renderer failing to escape entities properly. Fixed now by switching to markdown-it-py.

    Still chipping away at the Free Software bike computer: https://jazda.org Given that it contains hardware, I don't expect to make any profit ;)

    Funnily enough, about a month ago I gave a presentation about deliberately putting Rust on my bike. https://dcz_self.gitlab.io/posts/jazda_rust/ Pictures of the less-desired rust i…

    With my Librem 5 developer hat on, I'm surprised that a SPI chip matters at all. The Librem 5 eMMC contains a hidden "partition", which is preferred by the CPU to boot from over th…

    I'm not a Rust-only developer, but a general systems programmer, and my foray into embedded is limited to a side project (see my profile), but no, I haven't switched to C/C++. Rust…

    Based on the comments, telekom.de is doing the same thing. A /56 prefix, changing every day. Blood-boiling. Can anyone recommend an EU-based server provider that could be used as a…

    That's a valid observation of one of the reasons I won't use git-send-email. I have limited mental resources, and given the choice between a tool where I have to spend half an hour…

    I can figure out how to send you a patch set via email (see my Linux kernel contributions), but if I can avoid doing that, sure as heck I will. Your project must be really importan…

    I hope so too :) Sadly, Megapixels doesn't seem to be interested in libcamera at the moment.
