  1. FFmpeg

    Mirror of https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git

    Project mention: Build with Gemini Sunnyvale: Antigravity Can Cook! With Caveats. | dev.to | 2026-09-26

    It uses Playwright, a tool that controls a real web browser from code. Antigravity wrote a script that opened my deployed app in an invisible browser. It hovered over a card, clicked a checklist box, typed two questions at human speed, waited for the answers, and scrolled to the results. Playwright recorded the whole thing, and FFmpeg, a command-line video tool, turned the recording into an MP4 under 1.5MB.

    Not familiar with Rockchip. Plenty of searches come up with cases of people incorporating ffmpeg into Rockchip projects. I still see the license files and headers. What is different with this DMCA takedown?

  17. evdi

    Extensible Virtual Display Interface

    Project mention: How to get virtual display outputs on Linux without using a dummy plug | dev.to | 2026-01-09

    In Using the EVDI driver - Extreme Multihead - ArchWiki, it is suggested that this driver can be (ab)used to create virtual outputs without a DisplayLink dock. You will lose out on GPU acceleration that way, but the result is still usable for general tasks. The ArchWiki links to nvidia - Unable to add a VIRTUAL display to Xorg - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange, but the Etam Software - Virtual screen guide is clearer and lets you know that the current Xorg session will freeze during initial configuration. Although I've had luck deploying this solution for a long time on my machine, an update to EVDI suddenly now results in an unusable black screen, even tho this was supposedly patched in Monitor blank but detected as connected · Issue #523 · DisplayLink/evdi, I was never able to get it working again just using EVDI.

    Project mention: Evaluating and mitigating the growing risk of LLM-discovered 0-days | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-02-06

    Glad to see that they brought in humans to validate and patch vulnerabilities. Although, I really wish they linked to the actual patches. Here's what I could find:
