Something new from the Department of Unnecessary Projects #DepUnPr

[em]fat[/em]pak

an unholy combination of bash, qemu, ssh and X11 to run flatpak apps inside a linux qemu vm, With a cli interface same as flatpak, but with added subcommand 'machine', to manage the qemu vm, inspired by 'podman machine'.
No, it doesn't work reliably.
But I can show this:

What's up at the Department of Unnecessary Projects #DepUnPr lately?

Here is Oliver ( #vala / #gtk4 / #libadwaita ) running on #osx (12.4, x86_64)

theme is WhiteSur; decoration layout forced in app (both just to make it blend a little more in osx); bundler script adapted from System76 Keyboard Configurator; #gtk4, #libadwaita via homebrew.

(I know: adwaita is a GNOME thing, custom themes are bad, it should be pure gtk etc etc ... , but I had it around and it was small enough for a test)

On a more useful note, while playing with this I've update Oliver interface and added some features and fixed some bugs. I could publish a new version soon.

I would like to release it as a #flatpak, but I'm not sure how to handle running php as as subprocess...

It's been a while from my last post on behalf of the Department of Unnecessary Projects #DepUnPr

So here is the "UEFI bootable slide show"

https://git.sr.ht/~fabrixxm/uss

An UEFI executable that load tga uncompressed images from disk and display them as a slideshow in loop.

for when you feel the urge to show some photos and you can't wait for a full os to boot up.

(thanks to @Elena ``of Valhalla'' for inspiring this thing.)
