ui: sit the tag's point on the visible edge, not a pixel inside it
`right: 100%` positions against the containing block's *padding* box, and
the tag body carries a 1px border, so a square centred there sits a pixel
inside the visible left edge.  The point read as set into the tag rather
than growing out of it.  Nudged left by exactly that pixel, with the
margin that reserves room for it following.

Two pixels was too far: the point's edges then meet the body's left edge
short of its corners, and the difference shows as a gap on the inner side.

The geometry test that was supposed to cover this could not tell the
difference.  It asserted the tip lands far to the left of the body, which
is true either way -- the un-nudged tip is only 2px further right and
still well clear.  The claim is about where the point is *centred*, so it
measures that now, and was checked against the un-nudged version.

Its neighbour, which checks the left margin covers the protrusion, is
deliberately still geometry-agnostic: the margin-to-protrusion
relationship is the invariant, and the exact offset is a matter of eye.
It also now derives the protrusion from half the square's diagonal rather
than half its side, which had made it loose enough to pass against a
margin 5px short.

WROLPi

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.

Try WROLPi!

You can try out WROLPi by running the docker containers.

  1. Install docker-ce and docker-compose
  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.
