Severe flooding in my area, won't be able to attend today's meeting
Hey, I won't be able to attend today's whitebox meeting due to severe flooding in my area. The city is essentially shut down with no electricity, no way to commute, and infrastructure at a complete standstill. I'm running low on battery and have no idea when services will be restored. Quick sprint update: #284 is still in progress and needs significant work, and I'm picking up #291 for this sprint. Sorry to miss this one, it's my first whitebox meeting absence and definitely not by choice. If there's anything important to share, please email me and I'll respond as soon as I'm able to get back online. Thanks!
I saw your email just now, hope you're well and safe! Not sure what devices are you on, but If it helps, I think that Android uses less power when booted into Safe Mode. I'll post my update here as well, if needed we can hop on a call later on. I'm still working on #298, FFMPEG is driving me crazy - even running the same thing that insta360 does within itself does not help here, sometimes process dies, sometimes hangs, still not sure what's going on. On the flip side, potentially there's a way to use Whitebox almost only as a "passthrough" for the video, and offload the transcoding to the frontend - still not sure how viable that would be on an average phone (?), but it might noticeably decrease power usage on an SBC as FFMPEG is a monster. CI stopped passing, fails due to Playwright, so I could not merge last week's MRs. python3.10 Docker image got bumped from Debian Bullseye to Trixie, making Playwright fail to install its dependencies. https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/36916 , which seems to already have fixed Playwright on nightly, so I'm expecting it to get fixed in the following days on the latest published Playwright version. I've created #309 to address this properly for the future once we agree on the exact path. If it does not resolve within the next few days, I'm considering pinning it to python-3.10.17-bullseye or something as a workaround, but idk if that'd be a proper way to resolve this. Let me know if I can help in any way! ---- On Tue, 19 Aug 2025 10:43:20 +0200 Avinash Sah <avinash@whitebox.aero> wrote --- Hey, I won't be able to attend today's whitebox meeting due to severe flooding in my area.
