There are two modern ways to capture HDMI video into a computer using OBS. Both require a video capture card.

A PCIe video capture device allows you to capture and record video and audio from a device and save it to your computer through HDMI.

Besides a PCIe capture card, you can also use a USB video capture card. A USB video capture card is more portable, but you can only use one in each USB port.

#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa #NewZealand

At a riverside park a group of three small humans are watching a couple (50s?) do yoga stretches in front of their campervan. Suddenly one (5?) roars: "MUM WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT?" When shushed he's undeterred, his volume louder. "CAN I DO THAT?"

A family are motorbiking through a stunning mountain pass. Dad's on a Harley. He's a big man with a skull cap helmet and a leather jacket. Mum's riding next to him, in a floral sundress on a dainty pink scooter. Their small human (6?) is hugging Dad. Smiling into the sun. It's a perfect day.

At an outdoor play: The chatter is amicable and mellow, the vibe serene until a teen (13) abruptly says: "Hey Dad, did I show you my toe? It's totally gross." He pulls off his sock, thrusting his foot under his Dad's nose. People nearby quietly laughing.

At an outdoor play: A man (Late 80s?) wearing thick glasses and a woolly vest is speaking to friends. Smiling mischievously he says: "This is going to be rather amusing. I'm on my third beer and I'm feeling VERY levelled out." He winks.

A couple (20s?) are wading knee-deep in a river. Suddenly one drops his hat in the water and it's off around the bend. He strips off his shirt and dives in, but the hat's moving fast. Swearing and laughing heard in his wake as he gives chase.

The typos are currently on a quest to finish their latest novel. If spotted, maybe give them a cup of tea and a judgemental cat for company. They'll appreciate it.

The annoying nerds who said you should install Linux, use decentralised social media, use Signal secure messenger were right.

We would also like to #welcome all people joining us today! If you are switching over from #Twitter, #X, #Facebook, #Instagram: welcome into a truly federated social network.

While you've made the switch, consider also moving away from that other big corporation named #Google: a great alternative is #OpenStreetMap . There are many apps (such as @organicmaps or #osmand)

There are also a lot of maps about a specific topic. You can find a collection of them on mapcomplete.org

📣 ✍️ New #webdev blog post!

This one is special to me, partly because it took some time to cook 😅 , partly because I talk a bit about #ux (which is not my main field), and partly because it features an experiment: after talking about #webpush and #pwa with #django, I'm asking my dear readers (you 😉) to visit a small demo website and tell me how it went!

You can give feedback here, or on Lemmy, Lobsters, etc. I'll update the post with the links!

So here it is: david.guillot.me/en/posts/tech…

Enjoy! 😸🔔

Push notifications without a mobile app: an experiment (with Django)

Today I want to talk to you about a combination of technologies that I don’t see often implemented, yet I wonder why: Web Push Notifications and Progressive Web Apps.

MapComplete has seen a few improvements in the past few weeks. A few highlights:

- opticians now have a question if eye exams are done in the the shop
- A new theme for scouting is available: mapcomplete.org/scouting - it uses the NSI to pick a relevant icon
- toilets can now be rated
- One can mark if a mapcomplete.org/drinking_water point has (ice)cold, ambient temperature or hot water
- Charging stations have a 'charge point' layer
- and a lot of bugfixes!

Test it on mapcomplete.org!

I made another little controller for @mixxx. This one lights up the LEDs on my Obinskit Anne Pro 2 computer keyboard to match their actions in the Mixxx UI. Ie. the play/pause buttons ('d' and 'l') light up in the track color when their decks are playing, hot cues reflect whatever color are set in Mixxx, and the crossfader ('g' and 'h') set their illumination based on how much of each channel is in the mix. There's a demo of it here:

Watching this bamboo labs stuff play out as someone who owns a cricut and wishes they'd got something else, sure is a thing.

The cricut design space software is a royal pain in the butt. But because the communications to the device are encrypted, you have to use it.

I'd been tempted to upgrade to one of the bamboo labs systems with the filament swapping ability, but seeing this? Nope not a chance.

Free Scout appears to be an open source version of Zendesk. They openly mention accessibility and screen reader support in their documentation and right there on the homepage, which is good! Their demo is here and their main website is the second link. Stuff is deleted after a short while, but this is decently accessible! Could use some improvements but far more accessible and screen reader friendly than Zendesk! demo.freescout.net/login
