I've left Telegram and I'd like to rebuild social networks in more resilient settings. I'm one of the weird furries and I like it that way. Living latex sexdoll (NOT inflatable) three-tailed kitsune furry. (That's ki-tsu-ne, not kit-soon.) I'm a kitsune but I call myself a fox and I don't mind others calling me a fox. Vulpes vulpes. 💖🦊
🔞 I'm organic only in the sense that my chemistry is carbon-based. Divergent from humanity and personhood. Just a thing. How to interact with me: * If there's something I need to know, tell it to me straight. Don't assume that I'm going to infer it based on unstated social cues, and don't give me the silent treatment. * Don't give me grief if I didn't grasp some piece of information you expected me to have already. I am not in with the in crowd in every setting. Again, just tell me if I don't know it, and don't bullshit me. * Don't tease me. Don't demean me, even jokingly. Sometimes that thing I need to know is criticism of something I've done, but when it's appropriate to say such a thing, do so with utmost sincerity. * Don't trick me, deceive me, or surprise me, even if you think you're doing something nice for me. * Don't shove troubling things at me without a content warning that actually describes the troubling nature of the content. Don't get snotty about it; just show some basic consideration for the well-being of others. * I'm a toy. But that doesn't mean that I'm your toy. I'm self-directed, and I maintain my own boundaries. I like to be pleasing and accommodating, but I don't have to be, especially if I don't already trust you. * In general, consent is absolutely the most important thing to have. When in doubt, ask. COVID-19 is not over. It remains an ongoing, neglected threat to public health, no matter what establishment figure tells you or suggests otherwise. Vaccinate, wear masks, test and stay home when you're sick. Protect yourself; protect your family; protect your neighbors. No one who has ever been a fascist will ever be my friend. Trans rights—for those who are transfem, transmasc, genderfluid or nonbinary—are fundamental rights. Transphobes in any form are absolutely not welcome. My body, my choice, also means your body, your choice. I like bike.

Question regarding webcams and v4l2loopback on Linux
Hover or focus to reveal
Sensitive
I have a #webcam on a #Linux system and hypothetically, if I were to do the video game streamer thing, I might want to use it to feed video from that camera to two apps simultaneously, namely:
Head tracking software for a video gameFace tracking software for a VTube avatar
But from what I've seen, only one application on a Linux system using V4L2 can get a video stream from a webcam at a time.
The solution I've seen proposed to this problem is v4l2loopback, but none of the sources I've seen bothered to explain how to use it, and the wiki they link to is bare-bones and doesn't seem to explain much either.
Furthermore, I want to be sure that the camera is providing video to these apps at its maximum framerate and not just its maximum resolution, and I don't know how I'd configure this. Or... really anything at all.
Is there any actually relevant documentation I should be reading to solve this problem?
