@navi @novenary @mntmn yes please, can also do a layout / circuit review if you like. Which chip could do PD/DP alt mode?

@mntmn @novenary @navi yeah, I found that also confusing, but according to VESA, the sink is what receives the image

@mntmn @novenary @navi from the dock side, a sink (to the monitor)

@mntmn @novenary @navi thanks. my plan would be USB-C in (PD), USB-A 3.0 out, DP out (sink), and USB-C out with all those.

@bremner @aesthr EE student here, yeah, this is kinda a thing. But IMO also a bit justified if you compare our exams to, say, marketing degrees.

@navi @novenary I actually have some WIP on that. To also power the whole thing with PD is more complicated than I'd imagined, and I need to ask more knowledgeable people. DP alt mode is also not that trivial, I think I know how though. Also, you can only have one Displayport sink; for more you need MST, and ICs for that are unobtainium. @mntmn maybe knows how to power a circuit from PD and provide charging, too?

mhm, I should built something with a CH32V MCU. Ten cents (!) for a full-blown RISC-V microcontroller you can program in C without any fuzz is very cool.

@SpaciousCoder78 @rohini install libredirect for Firefox and check which are still pingable. IIRC one week ago some still were up

@michel_slm I now have a rough outline of how to go about things but will need to look info getting two machines for that purpose

@rohini @SpaciousCoder78 some nitter instances are still up afaik

@josch @Ganneff I won't stop, but I will invest the time spent on free software mostly elsewhere. As someone who reviewed a lot of MRs on salsa and sponsored a few packages, you can immediately tell if it's slop, and it is just a waste of my time.

Very sad, when I started contributing Debian struck me as having a sane rationale; guess I was wrong.

@martin @disaster2life ah, yeah, Forky ofc.

@disaster2life Until trixie releases I have another project I want to prioritize; if at least 4 other interested people show up I'd be on board.

Now I am (semi) seriously considering to start Debian GNU/NetBSD, just out of spite. Would've never guessed it'd come to this.
