The state of video offloading on the Linux Desktop | FOSDEM 2024
While efficient video playback has long been possible in the embedded Linux world, desktop applications have been lagging behind other platforms. In the last...YouTube
My #FOSDEM presentation about #Wayland video offloading is online. If you are interested, you can watch it here: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3557-the-state-of-video-offloading-on-the-linux-desktop/
I'm happy about feedback, both on the technical side as well as how I can improve doing presentations :)

Update regarding #wayland zero-copy video playback (using hardware planes): with a few small patches it works with #Chromium, both with #vaapi (Intel/AMD) and #v4l2 stateless.
Here a short video using a #rk3399 - the #PINE64 #PinebookPro - playing a 4k 60fps video - only possible with hardware plane offloading. Playback is *almost* smooth already (~50fps), the goal is to catch up with #GStreamer where we get stable 60.
I hope this will all get upstreamed in the coming months.
Earlier this year we got into a surprising and somewhat annoying struggle with Web browser sandboxing failures related to our "web apps shared in a chat" feature. After much background work we released the hardened Delta Chat 1.36 series, also addressing a dedicated fourth independent security audit, and can finally share more of what was going on behind the scenes https://delta.chat/en/2023-05-22-webxdc-security

Nobody had ever tested it and the authors missed the whole actual scaling part with wp_viewporter.
Anyhow, here's a working initial patch for #Firefox:

This is yet another possible way of #tracking users all across the internet. However, there's a simple solution: Just use #Firefox.
Since the IDs of Firefox extensions are unique for every user, it is not possible to know or guess the addresses of their web-accessible resources.
