ui: Statistic and StatisticGroup, and the four defects they had
These three exports had no test of their own.  Statistic had already been
caught out once -- it relied on Semantic's `Statistic.Group` for its
spacing, so it broke silently when that was uninstalled -- and they are
on the Status, Dashboard, Apps, Docs, Videos, Archive and Channels pages.

Four defects, each with a test that goes red without the fix:

* StatisticGroup ruled between columns only, with a `border-right` on
  every cell but the last.  `auto-fit` wraps, so the seven statistics on
  the Docs page became four rows on a phone with no rule between them,
  and the cell ending each earlier row drew its border straight onto the
  group's outer one, making that edge 2px on the right and 1px on the
  left.  The hairlines are now a 1px grid gap filled by an outline on
  each cell, which rules both axes however the tracks fall.

  Ruling the gaps with a border-coloured background behind the grid --
  which is where this went first -- has the same reach but paints every
  track no cell landed in: an odd count left the last slot a solid grey
  block.  An outline is drawn only where a cell is.  Both of these are
  guarded, because the second was introduced while fixing the first.

* A statistic that renders nothing left a padded cell and a stray
  hairline mid-row.  FanRPMStatistic returns null on a device with no fan
  connector, which is most of them, so this was the Status page's normal
  appearance.  The group cannot render a child to find out, so the cell
  is still emitted and `:empty` takes it out of the grid -- which is why
  the cells carry no inline style for that rule to have to outrank.

* Statistic destructured five props and dropped the rest.  LoadStatistic
  and the four Status wrappers all end in `{...props}`, so anything
  passed through a wrapper vanished with no error anywhere.

* VideosStatistics passed `style={{margin: '2em'}}` to every statistic,
  Semantic-era spacing that the grid now provides.  It beat the group's
  own rule, being inline, and made that one page's statistics sit
  differently from the six others.

CardGroup was the only component in the library with no class of its own,
which left nothing to assert against -- `container.firstChild` in jsdom
is Mantine's injected <style> element.  It has one now, and takes
className/style/rest like its siblings.

The gallery grows a seventh statistic, so the group wraps at a normal
window width where the row hairlines can be seen, and a second group of
coloured readings as Status renders them.

Geometry, hairlines and per-theme token resolution are in ui-layout.cy.js
rather than jest: jsdom returns zeros from getBoundingClientRect and
never resolves a var(), so it cannot judge any of it.

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.
