The (deprecated) #Linux port of Microsoft Teams doesn't support rotating the WebCam. With all the low level camera/video libraries out there, there aught to be a way to stream the camera to a virtual device that is rotated and can be used by less capable apps like MS Teams.

I can see that VLC allows rotation, and #V4L2 (v4l-utils) can do lots of similar things, but I haven't been able to get it to work for the general case. Has anybody out there managed to get something like this working?

@christianselig however, the keyboard that seems closest to what I think I want is the ZSA Moonlander https://www.zsa.io/moonlander , a wired, split, staggered, columnar keyboard. I have some reservations about their standard layouts, but those can be changed.

The only feature I want that is missing is an built-in USB hub, so the mouse can be plugged into the keyboard since they're always used together.

I've commented on the "I Built My Dream Keyboard from Absolute Scratch video" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UXsD7nSfDY from @christianselig once before, but seem to have lost the links associated with it.

The main blog post that the video references is "Let's Design A Keyboard With Ergogen v4: Introduction" https://flatfootfox.com/ergogen-introduction/ which leads to a fascinating world of fully custom keyboards. OTOH, the only way I was going build one of these is put it on my "after retirement" to-do list.

I could have sworn that I saw a #NixOS post about the fix for the recent CUPS RCE's as explained here:

https://infosec.exchange/@screaminggoat/113205416736950747

but I can't seem to find the post for the #Nix specific fix anymore 😕

Thankfully I can find @Le_suisse 's PR https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/d726e2d30198ee71d824732ecd666646151356ef for at least one of these CVE's 💚
