A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

DIY DisplayLink adapter using ffmpeg and a Raspberry Pi to add a HDMI port to a laptop (pierre-couy.dev)

TLDR : My brand new laptop did not support DisplayPort over USB-C. I had a Raspberry Pi lying around unused, with its RJ45 and Ethernet ports, and I felt that I should be able to use it to bridge the gap between my laptop and my 2nd external monitor. After a lot of trial and error, I managed to get to something that I can comfortably use daily. This is a tutorial to reproduce this project in the form of a detailed writeup

I made this project a few months ago, and got some good feedback when I shared it. I also made a Github repo with scripts and config files (there is a link in the blog post), but I did not get a lot of feedback on it.

Anyway, I'd love to read your thoughts about this project.

I'm also looking for lemmy communities related to DIY tech projects and Raspberry Pis, so feel free to recommend some communities :)
