ui: act on review -- corner chrome, a swallowed className, and the poster frame
Three real defects from the PR review, each reproduced before it was fixed.

The tag mark and a video's duration were pinned to the poster BAND, which
is the full width of the card, rather than to the painted image.  Once the
height cap landed the two stopped being the same box: measured, the mark
sat 39px clear of a book cover, 56px clear of a small poster and 60px
clear of a vertical video, and the duration 55px clear.  It went unnoticed
because on a 16:9 poster the image fills the band and the two pin to the
same place -- so the tests cover the height-bound ratios, and assert the
letterbox gap is really there before measuring into it.

CardPoster now centres a frame that shrink-wraps the image, and the frame
is what corner chrome is positioned against.  VideoCard passes its
duration through a new `overlay` prop rather than wrapping CardPoster in a
box of its own.

The mark also went back INSIDE the link.  Splitting it out made the
tagged corner a dead spot on an otherwise clickable poster.

CardLink and ExternalCardLink wrote `className='...' {...props}`, so a
caller's className replaced the pair instead of adding to it.  Every
archive title passes `card-title-ellipsis`, so every archive title lost
`card-link` -- the one card type this PR migrates for layout was the one
missing the title treatment.  Both compose now.

On the fourth comment, the breadth of the ActionIcon remap: it is
deliberate and the numbers are small.  59 IconButton call sites, 52 of
them at the default size, 7 at `xs` (one in Flasher, three in the
inventory schema editor).  The one library control that stands beside an
input rather than a button is SearchBox's clear, and the remap is exactly
what that scale is for -- it now matches its field to the pixel, where
before it was 28px against a 36px input.  Guarded by a test that fails at
42 vs 36 if the default is reverted.

1078 jest, 158 in ui-layout.cy.js, clean build.

WROLPi

Build Status License: GPL v3 Discord Gitpod

Create your own off-grid library.

WROLPi Logo

WROLPi is a self-contained collection of software to help you survive the world Without Rule of Law.

WROLPi is intended to be run on a Raspberry Pi with an optional external drive attached. It serves up it's own Wi-Fi network so that any user with a laptop/tablet/phone can connect and use the library created by the maintainer.

  2. Copy the latest WROLPi code.
    • git clone https://github.com/lrnselfreliance/wrolpi.git
  3. Change directory into the code base.
    • cd wrolpi
  4. Initialize git submodules
    • git submodule update --init
  5. Build the containers.
    • docker-compose build --parallel
  6. Create volumes.
    • docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-data
    • docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-rendered-tiles
  7. Initialize the database (SQLite in the media directory).
    • docker-compose run --rm api db upgrade
  8. Start the docker containers.
    • docker-compose up
  9. Browse to WROLPi.

More Docker documentation is available in docker/README.md

Install WROLPi

Full installation instructions are in INSTALL.md. Pick the option that matches your hardware:

  • WROLPi Portable (Live USB) — boot a complete WROLPi from a USB stick on any x86 PC or laptop. Nothing is installed to the computer; the first boot creates a persistence partition on the USB so your library, database, and configuration survive reboots.
  • Debian 12 — install WROLPi onto an x86 PC or laptop.
  • Raspberry Pi — install WROLPi onto a Raspberry Pi with an external drive.
  • Docker — run the WROLPi containers on an existing Linux host.

Charter

Guiding Principals

  1. Storage is cheaper than power.
  2. Two is one, one is none.
  3. Run silently.
  4. Primary, secondary, tertiary.
  5. Secure as a bookshelf in your home.

Physical properties

  1. A WROLPi instance should be capable of running with a minimal of hardware:
    • Raspberry Pi
    • SD card
    • External USB hard drive
    • Power supply and cables
    • Wi-Fi USER device such as a phone, tablet, or laptop.
  2. A WROLPi instance should consume a minimal amount of electricity during WROL event. It is expected power will be scarce when WROLPi is needed most.

User expectations

  1. A WROLPi instance should be run and maintained by a person (MAINTAINER) with a moderate amount of Linux and Raspberry Pi experience. It is expected that they should be able to do this using only the documentation on their WROLPi.

Software properties and capabilities

  1. A WROLPi instance should be able to "factory-reset" itself without any outside services.
  2. WROLPi should function completely without any internet services.
  3. A user should have easy access to their data if WROLPi fails:
    • For example, a user can watch their videos by navigating a short and intuitive directory structure and opening the video in their preferred video player.
  4. WROLPi should be self-documented. The UI should contain a tutorial for USERS as well as the MAINTAINER.
    • If the UI isn't functional, the code should be documented such that a user can restore functionality.
  5. WROLPi should favor pre-processing, rather than processing during a WROL event. Such as re-encoding a video, or processing captions. This is to ensure that when a user adds content during non-WROL time, the processing for optimum performance is already done for a WROL event.
