I will name my driver as "v4l2-cast". The ioctl will return the file descriptor with the field name "cast_fd".

Feels Platonic sense the best possible name, i.e. you have video capture and video cast devices.

It is more like user space video capture driver than loopback/proxy device. And we have too many things already named as "proxy" or "loopback". They are as descriptive if I named this as v4l2-object or v4l2-instance IMHO. From "cast" you get immediately a gist what is going on and like the use and purpose.

Next making a fake webccam program with Rust to have something to run as the server end with the in-kernel driver using anonymous inode for proxy.

Realized that I need this before doing API split (i.e. break).

I'll implement it with Bevy and it will stream a rotating torus (that weird thing in the middle ATM) to the video loopback proxy

I asked Siri what a baby kangaroo was called and this is the response I got. No joke. I have no idea what’s going on at Apple any more.

Great, ffmpeg now setup properly to BuildRoot and video streaming through my in-progress loopback driver. Not having QA environment has kept this one stuck for few weeks.

Today is the day. Welcome to THE charger!

USB-C is officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU.

This means:

🔌The same charger for all new phones, tablets and cameras
⚡ Harmonised fast-charging technology
🔄 Reduced e-waste
🛑 No more “Sorry, I don’t have the right cable”

One charger to rule them all.

Has anyone tried Gemini? It's a new'ish Gopher alike protocol: https://geminiprotocol.net/

One application where this could work better than web would be actually application or language documentation.

Like what is Rust crate docs would also have Gemini artifacts perhaps.

I've been trying to recall this place a few times but now I bumped to a pic in my NAS. Terraza @ Brno, Czech. Best long drinks! Need to visit here some day. The pic is from 2020 :-)
