A perfect evening to be installing #Debian in my #Pine Rock64. While it's not the exact same board I used to own (which did get me into Linux), it's still nostalgic for me. I started back then with a custom 4.4. kernel, and now it's all mainline, and 7.0.7 is in backports.

hmmm, hopefully I can test the 7.0.4 kernel some more tomorrow ( still debugging my camera driver)

@mirabilos fuck's sake is everything slop these days

@veronica with a free software model trained on free data, free. Otherwise nonfree.

Der Bahnhof in Amberg ist schon irgendwie wie Frankfurt West

@veronica @jordan IIRC even if no new movies are released we are good for like 40 years

Guess I am timetraveling, huh

@SpaciousCoder78 pretty much

home again after #minidc Hamburg 2026. Really exhausted, but I had a lot of fun, great experiences and conversations. I mostly worked on openRC Debian stuff, did a few uploads and helped new contributors with packaging questions. Glad I could attend, and already looking forward to next year.
#Debian

@overflo besser als 90% des deutschraps

@latuernich amogus

@navi @millihertz yeah, I hope to switch everything over, at least for the basic init.

@veronica so much this, and thank you. as Debian Developer I use unstable as productive system daily, and in 3 years I had only 3 major bugs (2x MESA, 1x kernel). If one can live with that you get get all the newest packages straight from the source. More stable than arch IME.

Thanks everyone, @steph provided me with the datasheet detailing the pinout and @deta with the connector.
Next step: Build a PSU (open-hardware ofc)

@deta ah, seems to be https://www.te.com/en/product-2085717-1.html

@deta
Thanks! Do you know which is the mating plug perhaps?

@anarchiv but shareholders !!!1!
seriously, fuck planned obsolecence.
Very fond of the GDR-made hardened glassware that does not break.

Great:

- rsyslog: Slop
- tmux: Slop
- esp-idf: Slop
- vim: Slop

I could go on here, but I really hate how techfascits push the slop, and many projects are glady jumping on.
Definitely will celebrate when the bubble bursts, I am so tired of it.

This rant was brought to you by finding a embedded ASM snippet that turned out to be slop.

Wow, just found a really neat resource by chance:

https://regviz.com

It allows you to visualize registers for various micocontrollers and set single bits by clicking on them. A *lot* of microcontrollers are in there.

Invaluable resource for low-level embedded development.

Pro: got to write asm again
Con: Still no working program
