            Docker: random Alpine packages fail to install

            ok, looks like i found my solution here: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/12406

            quote from Lyle Franklin:

            I hit this error when trying to build a cross-platform ARM64 docker image from a AMD64 host. However, running docker run --rm --privileged linuxkit/binfmt:v0.8 or update-binfmts --enable prior to running the build seems to avoid the issue. My understanding Docker will try to use upstream QEMU if it is installed and registered with the kernel, otherwise Docker will fallback to using a built-in forked version of QEMU. The build error above only showed up for me with the forked QEMU.

            So I will probably add docker run --rm --privileged linuxkit/binfmt:v0.8 && update-binfmts --enable to my pipeline file if I encounter the error again, for now running it once solved the issue.

            What I would do is take the code for each action taking a photo and collecting sensor data and create a function for each. Then you could use a single loop that calls each function. I quickly put together an example of how this could look with your code that uses a single main loop to collect a photo about every 5 seconds and sensor data about every second.

            This is example which start socket server in thread and next display tkinter.

            At start tkinter display empty image and every 100ms replaces it with current image (which still is empty).

            When client connects then server replace image so automatically tkinter display it in window.

            When client disconnects then server again put empty image.

            Window has `Button to save current screen in file - it shows that window doesn't freeze.

            When you close window then it stops server. Problem is that accept() is blocking thread and I use daemon=True to kill thread when program stop running.

            How to prevent buffering/latency with PUB/SUB?
            Asked 2021-Jun-30 at 05:49

            I'm sending video as a sequence of images (equals zmq messages) but sometimes, perhaps when the network is slow, they are received at a slower rate than they're sent and a growing latency appears, seemingly up to about a minute of video or 100s of images or megabytes of data. It usually clears itself eventually with the subscriber receiving messages at a faster rate than the publisher sends.

            Instead, I want it to discard missed messages the same way it's supposed to if the subscriber is too slow recving them. I hoped zmq.CONFLATE=1 would do this but it doesn't. How then? I suspect they're being buffered at the publisher, which is not supposed to have any zmq buffer, or in the network stack somehow.

            Simplified server code ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Jun-29 at 16:14

            I am not sure which version of python zmq you are using but based on the underlying c++ libzmq you need to:

            • Set the ZMQ_SNDHWM socket option on the server socket
            • Set the ZMQ_RCVHWM socket option on the client socket.

            These options limit the number of messages to queue per completed connection in the case of pub/sub. If the queue grows larger than the HWM (high water mark) the messages will be discarded.

            Also turn off conflate as that will interfere with these options.

            I can't get my Raspbery pi camera to change effects with if statements
            Asked 2021-May-21 at 17:58

            I'm working on a project for my computer science class. I've attached a camera and a distance sensor to my raspberry pi. the basic idea of the program is that that the pi will get a reading from the motion sensor and then depending on the reading it will take a picture with the camera and display a different camera effect and then keep updating the distance and the pictures on a loop.

            My problem is that it will get stuck on the first camera effect that is activated, what I mean by this is if the distance sensor doesn't detect anything it will take a picture with no effect, if it picks up a closer reading it will display a negative, but if it doesn't detect anything initially it will continue to take pictures with no effect no matter what the reading actually is.

            It also works the other way around as in if it detects something close it will continue to display a negative picture. I'm assuming what I did wrong has something to do with how I set up my loops.

            my two cents are, if you have the original frame from the live video stream, and you can detect which frame has a face. Then can you just save that frame as a png or jpeg image file, no need to take any further image again? I know there can be situations where we need to take a new image, but just one solution I thought of is this.
