Greetings from inside Bela

ben_wizards

I'm writing this post on a Bela, via my laptop. I'm SSHing into the Bela and I've installed an X11 window manager/GUI as well as Firefox-ESR(because links doesn't work on this site). Just wanted to see if it was doable. It is, just barely. Firefox is taking up %70 of system resources!

Here's a screenshot taken of the scope while running a Bela program. Surprisingly the thing (kinda) worked. Firefox is superheavy, obviously. That was a fun distraction.

While on this site, Firefox was at 75%+ cpu usage, but the entire Bela didn't go above that when I was using FF on the Bela to view the IDE + scope. It was also slow and almost unresponsive, but it worked better than I'd have thought.

Sounds like good fun, though I reckon the only CPU-wise browser to be used inside Bela is emacs, which unfortunately is not going to allow you to see the scope !

giuliomoro Links2 worked great as well, but this website needs Javascript to log in.

BTW, It is a source of continued annoyance that imgur seems to randomly generate embed codes. About 1/2 the time it works, 1/2 it doesn't.

bela_robert -the big surprise with me was that the Scope worked at all inside the Bela and that the CPU wasn't very high all while running Firefox.

Very cool!

Oh, and BTW.
THAT TOOK FOREVER TO DO and the GUI over x11 is garbage.

(totally worth it)

ben_wizards re: imgur: I used this code

[url=http://imgur.com/a/UruIa][img]http://i.imgur.com/AeKfGvL.png[/img][/url]

to do the above. You may not need the [url] part if you do not want to make it clickable, so this is the bare minimum:

[img]http://i.imgur.com/AeKfGvL.png[/img]

On my imgur I need to open the image, then go to "get share links" and get the "BBCode" one.

I do not think our forum engine - flarum - supports embedding HTML into the post ( actually I hope it does not)
so I would not expect something like this

<blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/UruIa"><a href="//imgur.com/UruIa"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

to work
