@mirabilos ah, I see

Thanks to the helpful libcamera folks I now know that it needs some additional ov* drivers enabled. Also made a MR for that. With those enabled running the cameras should be as simple as installing the v4l2loopback kernel module and executing a launch script. Unfortunately the kernel module did not want to compile with my newer kernel, so I'll wait until this is mainlined. v4l2 --list returns the correct cameras now, so that's progress.

@mirabilos wäre nett wenn es einen Linux client dafür gäbe

@highvoltage which game ?

so I finished compiling the kernel. MR enabling the IPU3 and CIO2 modules by default is submitted and pending approval. This is what I like about free software: ones personal itch might just help another person.

Today's level of yak shaving:
Wanted to get the cameras on my Dell Latitude 5290 working. Found out those are also IPU3 based ones. Then wondered why they wouldn't show up at all. Now I am compiling my own Debian kernel to at least see what's missing in terms of functionality.
On the upside I now know how to compile the kernel and will create a patch (soon™) for the IPU3 and CIO2 modules to be enabled by default in #Debian.

I am proud to announce I finished packaging Shortwave, the app the inspired me to get into contributing in the first place. Soon™ available in Debian.

@agx @badrihippo @Lehmanator @itsfoss I have local packaging ready for Valent; let me know if you want to work on it.

@alexanderkjall @frost @liw there is prs which aims to be a pass (1) replacement in Rust with tomb support and zeroing of secrets. I mostly finished the Debian packaging and will upload to NEW soon.

Why do people keep repeating the lies that Meta's Llama is Open Source when it absolutely and clearly is not?

@leyrer recent finds: prs, librespeed-cli, ffsend, kew, ani-cli, neo-cli and gurk

So I got some used (basically new) Fairbuds XL and I am really satisfied with them. Will test more extensively in the next days. Really like that they are repairable (you can get every part, down to the speaker).

@MikeDunnAuthor John Brown did nothing wrong.

@yogthos note that Alfred Nobel didn't create the economics Nobel Prize, it was introduced later on by capitalists.

@decathorpe the other day I just ported a crate from nix 0.17 (!) to 0.27, smooth sailing. clap OTOH is indeed not trivial.
