Headless A2DP Audio Streaming on Raspbian Stretch

About

This gist will show how to setup Raspbian Stretch as a headless Bluetooth A2DP audio sink. This will allow your phone, laptop or other Bluetooth device to play audio wirelessly through a Rasperry Pi.

Motivation

A quick search will turn up a plethora of tutorials on setting up A2DP on the Raspberry Pi. However, I felt this gist was necessary because this solution is:

  • Automatic & Headless - Once setup, the system is entirely automatic. No user iteration is required to pair, connect or start playback. Therefore the Raspberry Pi can be run headless.
  • Simple - This solution has few dependencies, readily available packages and minimal configuration.
  • Up to date - As of December 2017. Written for Raspbian Stretch & Bluez 5.43

Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice

Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice

I bought M1 MacBook Air. It is the fastest computer I have, and I have been a GNOME/GNU/Linux user for long time. It is obvious conclusion that I need practical Linux desktop environment on Apple Silicon.

Fortunately, Linux already works on Apple Silicon/M1. But how practical is it?

  • Two native ports exist.

Guix on WSL2

(updated versions of this document, plus more, live here)

This will show you how to get Guix running on WSL2.
We're going to go as "minimal" as possible, without starting off one of the readily available WSL2 distros.
Parts of this guide should help with understanding how to set up any custom distro on WSL, not just Guix.

Disclaimer: I'm a Guix nOOb! (hence going through the trouble of installing it on WSL2)

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import usb.core
import struct
from collections import namedtuple
APPLE_VID = 0x05ac
Target = namedtuple("Target", ["vid", "pid", "name", "model", "total_size"])

This gist contains instructions on setting up FFmpeg and Libav to use VAAPI-based hardware accelerated encoding (on supported platforms) for H.264 (and H.265 on supported hardware) video formats.

Using VAAPI's hardware accelerated video encoding on Linux with Intel's hardware on FFmpeg and libav

Hello, brethren :-)

As it turns out, the current version of FFmpeg (version 3.1 released earlier today) and libav (master branch) supports full H.264 and HEVC encode in VAAPI on supported hardware that works reliably well to be termed "production-ready".

TaskManagerSecret
Author: @splinter_code
This is a very ugly POC for a very unreliable UAC bypass through some UI hacks.
The core of this hack is stealing and using a token containing the UIAccess flag set.
A trick described by James Forshaw, so all credits to him --> https://www.tiraniddo.dev/2019/02/accessing-access-tokens-for-uiaccess.html
From there it uses a task manager "feature" to run a new High IL cmd.exe.
This has been developed only for fun and shouldn't be used due to its high unreliability.
