You needed: kernel driver, closed source userspace driver, GStreamer plugin, v4l2 loopback driver, v4l2 relay daemon copying frames from the GStreamer source into v4l2 loopback. Technically I could have made it work, I just decided not to.

Earlier this year I was given one of those XPS machines with Ubuntu and decided to install Debian on it. The camera driver was so bad - I can’t remember technical details but you can’t simply get it to run on another kernel, it was a mess of hacks to get it to work. I decided I won’t get a camera driver. “We ship a laptop with Ubuntu” does not necessarily mean working Linux drivers.

EDIT: To add insult to injury, the touch bar suddenly decided to stop responding to input. It’s already bad enough to not have tactile feedback for Esc / Fn keys / Delete / Print Screen.

No, I commute in jeans. Makes it super hard to find high-waist jeans that are narrow at the bottom and also have a certain degree of elasticity, so when I find them I buy a lot.

I cycle, so I’m definitely not a fan of low waist jeans. I want my lower back to feel warm and covered.

• Two NextCloud instances, one is a RPi4 with a big external HDD which I use for backups, the other one contains everything else, including PhoneTrack. Happy to have a self-hosted privacy-friendly way to share my location with family.
• Email using mailcow.
• Jabber server using prosody. Using it with immediate family and two friends. Still super happy.
• Web server including personal blogs. Currently looking to migrate away from Wordpress into something static without comments.
