FOSS Advent Calendar - Door 13: Screen-Mirroring & Recording with scrcpy

Today’s tool is scrcpy, a powerful open-source utility that lets you mirror and control your Android device from your PC via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) over USB or Wi‑Fi.

With scrcpy, you can see your phone screen on your desktop and control it directly from your PC using your mouse and keyboard. You can also record screencasts from the mirrored session, perfect for tutorials, capturing gameplay, or streaming mobile apps, all without installing anything on your phone.

CLI-friendly and lightweight, scrcpy gives you full PC-based control over your device: navigate, type, launch apps, or record everything from your desktop. No bloated software, no intrusive permissions.

GitHub - Zouuup/landrun: Run any Linux process in a secure, unprivileged sandbox using Landlock. Think firejail, but lightweight, user-friendly, and baked into the kernel.

Der DoubleCommander ist mein #Dateimanager der Wahl. Er hat alles, was ich brauche, auf jeder Plattform, auf der ich arbeiten muss oder will. Er ist schlank, ziemlich stabil, flexibel und optionenreich, und #FLOSS. Ich muss ihn nicht installieren, ich kann ihn ohne Root-/Adminrechte auf einem Zielsystem entpacken und loslegen. Mit ihm bleibt einfach, was einfach ist.
