"pi" is no longer the standard user name on Raspberry PIs

[askpatrickw]

Lots of the code assumes /home/pi is the path and pi is user.
It is no longer the given that "pi" is the user name everyone is using.

Some alternative approaches to take:

• .sh: use "~" or $HOME
• .py: use os.getenv('HOME')

I am not sure if those will also work when running as a service.

See NEW pi-timolo2 libcamera picamera2 at https://github.com/pageauc/pi-timolo2

I will look at this issue for new picamera2 release. Will add as issue on pi-timolo2

I have modified the NEW pi-timolo2 libcamera picamera2 at https://github.com/pageauc/pi-timolo2
It will run under a different RPI login account. This is used for timolo2-cam.sh and timolo2-web.sh for launching the related python scripts in the background using supervisor. menuboxsh also works under a different user. You will have to manually modify makevideo.conf although this could also be updated using sed.

If you have time I would appreciate any issues you encounter running my pi-timolo2 project.
Thanks Claude ....
