Still the same HID remapping project from last month (I was hoping to be done by now, but hardware is hard): https://github.com/cedarhacks/HIDMorph This is an HID ReMapping device, things like converting keyboard input to joystick input, or adding macros to specific inputs. The usage is: - It has 1 USB in and 1 USB out. - In programming mode it's a USB drive you can put LUA scripts on (or pull out log files). - In ru…

Ive dabbled in a bit of all of this, and let me say, good luck! Sounds interesting. Unfortunately, USB is hot garbage imo. The USB-IF, really screwed up USB, especially with all the power negotiation bullshit that has to happen now. Thanks to their ever changing USB3.x super premium plus ultra megaspeed crap that they keep doing, i ended up giving up on a multi-year usb project. Because of their changes, i would have…

Not to mention that it still maintains ALL its legacy compatibi…

THANK YOU VERY MUCH you and the team behind OpenPrinting for such GREAT contributions to Linux - and so to the Humanity itself!

I'm currently working on Codebox, a remote development workspaces provider. After trying many existing solutions, I realized there wasn’t a self-hosted option that was both simple to set up and easy to use, so I decided to build one. With Codebox, you can define workspace templates or load workspace configurations directly from Git repositories. At the moment, it supports Dev Containers and Docker Compose, with plans…

That's rad! Have you thought of adding an app to the home server's OS? Like Umbrel? I would install it on my umbrel and have it hosted on my home server.
