wl-gammactl VS cosmopolitan

I don't know what you mean by color management - is it the calibration of the display with xrite/argyll?

For ICC profiles colormgr can help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ICC_profiles#Wayland

If you just need basic brightness, contrast and gamma, wl-gammactl should do that: https://github.com/mischw/wl-gammactl

BTW Hyprland is not required, it's just the most practical way to have shortcuts key mappings in Wayland

However, this does not work in Wayland since it obviously belongs to the X Window System. I started searching the web for a possible solution and found wl-gammactl, which is a GUI for wlroots (https://github.com/mischw/wl-gammactl) and the gnome-gamma-tool (https://github.com/zb3/gnome-gamma-tool), but neither of them seemed to work because of missing dependencies, which can't be installed or invalid version numbers of required packages (e.g. found 1.20 but need: '>=1.23'). When attempting to build the gnome-gamma-tool, the following error message appears (despite Colord being installed):

It's very much possible with Wayland. Whether Plasma supports it is another question, unfortunately. Great program though, you can control it with commands and set an invert screen colors keybind.

What would be the best way to implement this? I tried wl-gammactl https://github.com/mischw/wl-gammactl with those settings but the screen just goes fully white?

Probably it just support sway as said here on github

Wayland is the protocol applications use to talk to compositors. What you need to control (this kind of-, since I assume you want a software overlay) brightness depends on the compositor/desktop environment you use. For wlroots based compositors (wayfire, sway) wl-gammactl or wlr-brightness could be useful. For Gnome (below version 40) the soft-brightness extension looks like what you need.

The reality is a bit different, the work on Python 3.6 was checked into the Cosmopolitan repo and I have been able to use it for production workloads that are in pure python. [0]

As Cosmopolitan Libc has evolved, it has been possible to compile more software without modifications, and that includes latest Python through a project called superconfigure[1].

Last person who tried to reproduce it from scratch did it last week (granted it too them a few days of solid work) but in the end they ended with a portable binary with Python 3.11.9, brotli, ssl and asyncio for their work related project.[2]

Some genius realized that you can actually embed valid win32 programs inside valid posix shell scripts, and found a way to make a C cross-platform solution out of it, meaning that you can write C programs that compile to a single executable that will run on (quoting the site) Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS

It all started from this post.

For this .args file, put one argument per line. This will run on start. You can use `/zip/mydepencency.anything` to read from files, but if you have an executable dependency you'll need to extract it first.

You can do this with any software you can compile with comsocc, by adding a call to LoadZipArgs[1] in the main function.

It'seasy to get started, your ideas will branch out as soon as you start playing with it.

FWIW there is ongoing work with good progress to add websocket support to redbean (https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/pull/967)

it might help but not sure how comprehensive it is! would it be a bad idea for you to check out the source code of other popular emulators (maybe iTerm 2^0) ?

The binary was compiled with Cosmopolitan Libc [0], and therefore the binary will execute natively on Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and bare metal (BIOS boot).

I would call that portable.

will go on my "to try" list where i already have cosmopolitan [2]. my last setup (windows) was shiv + wine + nsis (used that as pyinstaller had some issues)[2]
