@Extelec looks like Debian netinst with expert option

@vkc nice video. Shortwave is coming soon™ to Debian/Ubuntu.

I am a bit late, but check this out if you missed it.

No progress on the debugging from windows. Though now the Debian kernel has the IPU3 and CIO2 modules enabled by default, starting with 6.12~rc.6.

@mntmn not really recent but I can recommend Predestination for a real mind-bending experience

@drewdevault git rebase is so underrated. For packaging I sometimes notice a small thing to fix -> create commit, git rebase and squash it with the corresponding one.

I have cancelled all but one of my streaming video subscriptions in an effort to save money. I wanted to watch a certain movie but didn’t have a physical or digital copy, and didn’t want to purchase it. Suddenly, I remembered that libraries exist. Today I walked to the library and checked out a few movies on Blu-ray and DVD. For free. I feel strangely powerful. Support - and use - your local library.

:boosts_ok_gay: immigration, uspol mention, looking for advice!

#Debian stuff I did the last two weeks:
Got Fragments and Warp accepted into the archive. Finished packaging swayosd and shortwave and uploaded it to NEW. Did a rust-heapless transition (0.7 to 0.8); likewise for rust-image (0.24 to 0.25). Almost finished the glycin-loaders update.

@grillchen wanted do buy clothing from there but all sold out :/

@leyrer migration in die google cloud <-> datenschutz
Java, Cocol, MS SQL Server...

@overflo wer kennts nicht

After some more digging it turns out that Intel was lazy. They used a similar camera setup in my device and the Surface device line. However, the voltage to the camera sensor is controlled by a tps68470 IC which can deliver variable voltages. Since the Linux kernel does not know the board (and the correct voltage levels), the camera is without power. Now I need to boot Windows (ugh) and get the correct values from reading the I2C traffic.

@fabos bahnfahren be like

TIL ICE trains with blue stripes instead of read ones exists.

Early trains pros + cons:

-Pros:

Mostly empty

-Cons:

Early

@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.
