From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Currently working on a replacement for BirdCAGE. It was a pretty cool project, that was unfortunately based on some pretty hacky code (not the dev's fault, he based it on BirdNet-Pi) and subsequently has been abandoned.
MVP is up and running, just polishing and adding features. Still no GUI just yet, right now it's just presisting the data locally (recordings with detections, spectrograms, and a database of detections) and submitting the results to Birdweather which you can use as a basic UI until I get around to it.
It's been a great learning experience.
Do you have a project page I can keep track of? I have some spare Pi-compatible machines.
Looking at BirdWeather the only node on Vancouver Island is 200km from me. Would be a fun thing I could stick outside my house, we have lots of bird traffic here. Just today I saw robins, crows, ravens, eagles, swans, geese, ducks, and gulls and I was only barely paying attention.
I haven't made the repo public just yet, but I'll reply to you here when it is. Hopefully early next week.
Though for the record the current scope is to deploy on x86 docker and listen to remote rtsp streams.
I did just disparage the code of BirdNet-Pi somewhat, but it's a vetted and solid solution on pi-compatible hardware.
