So this reinvents devcontainers? https://containers.dev
Why should we use yours? What does it do better or differently?

Playwright is a great tool for this. There is a helper for writing automations. It's commonly used for automated testing but it's good for controlling a browser with Python scripts in general.
Playwright is great. Take a look at Stagehand, it's an AI layer built on top of Playwright:

(It can run locally.)

Haven't played Obra Dinn yet (it's on my list of games to play together with my wife), but anything by its developer Lucas Pope is a masterpiece. Papers Please, while it infuriated me at times (apparently I suck at following rules and spotting differences) was just amazing. Available on mobile and PC.
Also if you have the delightful "Playdate" game console, his game Mars After Midnight is charming and not stressful.
I wish python had proper sandbox configuration. This would be great for user defined scripts but only if I could disable filesystem and network syscalls for the user defined code.
This uses UDS (Unix Domain Sockets) to communicate, which are file-like and can be mounted from the host filesystem inside a container.
As long as the socket is writable, the rest of the filesystem(s) don't have to be. Same goes for the networking, which can be very isolated and restricted.
It should be possible to do what you want.

Maybe putting the MIDI into your DAW might work?
Or import MIDI into a music box sheet converter?

There is a very simple game called "Timeline" that is basically this: https://www.zygomatic-games.com/en/game/timeline-classic/
Extremely simple. No barrier to entry.
Yeah! They sell many packs by genre (inventions, music, movies, science, etc) but what's neat is you can mix the cards of multiple genres and the game still works all the same. Very elegant concept.
darkvertex commented on FFmpeg merges WebRTC support git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffm... · Posted by u/Sean-Der
I still don't understand any practical use cases. Can you give some examples? (I'm not being obtuse here I'm genuinely curious what this can enable now.)
WebRTC excels at sub-second latency peer to peer, so you can do near-realtime video, so anywhere that is useful.
Say you wanted to do a virtual portal installation connecting views from two different cities with live audio, you could have ffmpeg feed off a professional cinema or DSLR camera device with a clean audio feed and stream that over WebRTC into a webpage-based live viewer.
Or say you wanna do a webpage that remote controls a drone or rover robot, it would be great for that.
If you have a Quest 2 or 1, I'm very sorry that you can't enjoy that. (Borrow a friend's Quest3 for a weekend I guess.)
ps: I worked for the studio that made the series and was a dev for the custom camera control software webapp that ran on an astronaut's laptop. Crazy fun project.
