Let’s talk about our journey of creating something from scratch (almost?) for our Electronics I final project. It wasn’t groundbreaking like a full-blown multi-featured DC power supply, but it was a fulfilling learning experience. Spoiler alert: mistakes were made, lessons were learned, and yes, we had fun. …
Delineate provides facilities to edit and draw graphs specified in the DOT language. It is designed to be a simple and intuitive tool for creating and editing graphs, with a focus on the user experience. …
Kooha is a simple screen recorder for Linux with a minimal interface. You can simply click the record button without having to configure a bunch of settings. While we strive to keep Kooha simple, we also want to make it better. This release, composed of over 300 commits, is focused on quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. …
Over the summer, for 12 weeks, I worked on rewriting Bustle in Rust and GTK 4 as part of the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2023 program. This post is an overview of the work done and the future plans for the project. …
Progress Made I am thrilled to announce that a lot of progress happened once again over the past few weeks! Starting with the most important thing, the diagram, a lot of bugs has been squashed and the rendering performance is now improved to a usable and merge-able state. …
Progress Made A lot of things happened these past few weeks. First, the MR to add address and system DBus recording has already been merged. Though, before that was merged, a few revisions have been made: it now parses from messages bytes directly, instead of a PCAP stream, to prevent overhead. Additionally, it now properly propagates errors, such as when the dbus-monitor binary is not found. …
Progress Made This week, the PR to implement Display for Value, Array, Structure, Dict, and Maybe has been merged. Thus, there is a much nicer way now upstream to display zbus::Value, similar to GVariant. With this blocker cleared out, the zbus port MR has also been merged, fully porting the Bustle rewrite to zbus. …
Progress Made There's unfortunately not a lot to talk about for the past two weeks as I have been really absorbed with finals at my university. However, while preparing for the finals, we got the PR to add from_bytes constructor for zbus::Message merged. This means that we can now construct zbus::Message from raw GDBusMessage bytes and vice versa, which is critical for porting Bustle from GDBus to…
Progress Made Before the GSoC coding period started, I started implementing the diagram used to display DBus activity with the help of the template repository made by my mentor, Maximiliano. One of the first challenges is figuring out how to load the PCAP files, which is the format Bustle uses to store the DBus messages. Without implementing that first, it would be difficult to test how the…
Hello there! I am Dave Patrick Caberto, a first-year Electronics Engineering student from Bataan Peninsula State University, Philippines. This summer, I will be working on the Rust and GTK 4 rewrite of Bustle, a D-Bus activity visualizer, with the guidance of my mentors, Bilal Elmoussaoui and Maximiliano Sandoval. …
We all know that Google is already dominating the search engine share. Meanwhile, in terms of the browser market share, it is no different. Many browsers nowadays such as Brave and even Microsoft Edge are based on Google's open-source project, Chromium. …
Choosing a Linux distro is not an easy task. New users might be overwhelmed with the hundreds of distros to choose from compared to Windows with just a few versions to choose from. I cannot really tell you which is the best for you as we come with different needs and motives, but here is a list of Linux distros that will help you determine what could be the best for you. …
