When developing software for installations that need to remain up for very long time without being restarted, it is pretty relevant to monitor it to verify it is working properly.[...]
Running a light VNC Linux Desktop on docker on a regular desktop or on a small arm board may be of help in some cases. I recently needed it once[...]
Many devices nowadays come with a notch at the top of the screen. You can clearly avoid drawing where cutouts are placed and ask the system to create a window[...]
Sometimes I need to have specific versions of Qt to build apps and run CI tasks. In this article I introduced what I used for this purpose: a multi-arch docker[...]
I wrote an article about this topic in the past here. However, I had the chance to work more on the topic so this is a follow-up to that article:[...]
When developing products and managing servers I frequently notice that properly formatting and colorizing text, logs and generic output in the terminal is very useful. Errors, warnings and messages are[...]
This post is for people trying to resuscitate this little machine, the Acer Aspire 3810T. I sometimes install Linux on old machines that people consider outdated and leave for dead,[...]
The old days of OpenMAX and omxplayer are now almost gone. Raspberry Pi has long moved to DRM/KMS and V4L2. Using omxplayer from Qt had the great benefit of reducing[...]
Introduction While writing my crate for Isogeometric Analysis, I found myself in need of testing the Bézier implementation somehow. I thought it would be fun, as usual, to test with[...]
Introduction There are important curves that cannot be represented precisely using Bézier curves. However, some of those curves, can be represented with rational Bézier curves. While writing my crate on[...]
Introduction I recently implemented a demo of Isogeometric Analysis in Octave and then, just for fun, in TypeScript. Here are a few articles on the topic. After writing the algorithms[...]
Rendering YUV frames is pretty frequent when it comes to video streams. For instance, frames coming from a camera or frames resulting from the decoding of compressed streams may be[...]
Unfortunately I had the dramatic idea of buying a Dell machine some years ago. This machine breaks by just watching at it. So, I recently had to experience the n-th[...]
Raspberry OS based on Debian bullseye was recently published. The compiler provided with this new version was updated to 10.2.1. As usual, I need to cross build many large projects[...]
Getting hardware acceleration into Qt eglfs is tricky. Doing so on a Raspberry Pi is, unfortunately, still tricky after many years. Qt claimed to have reimplemented the Qt Multimedia module[...]
Introduction In the classical Finite Element Method (FEM) the domain of the problem is approximated by defining a mesh and basis functions over its elements. More elements for the mesh[...]
Polr is a cute self-hosted service that allows you to shorten URLs with a practical web interface. Unfortunately, as usual, I couldn’t find a good docker image for arm devices.[...]
It has been some time since Qt 6 was released. Now that Qt 6.2 is almost out, I guess it is time to have a look at how Qt 6[...]
I recently started to add many useful open source services to my Raspberry Pi, like Jenkins, GitLab etc… I wrote some articles about running some services on a arm64 device[...]
I really like this excellent piece of software. I found some docker images for it for the arm64 architecture, but they seemed not to be very up to date, so[...]
