@mntmn @navi @novenary Updated plan:

https://people.debian.org/~werdahias/dock.png

Will need to verify if this is correct with someone who knows more than I do; this is mostly based on TI's TIDA-01243

@yukijoou Debian unstable, though given that slop contributions were now allowed, that leaves a bitter taste.

I will likely need to keep using it for the near future though.

@mntmn @novenary @navi can do. FYI this is my WIP:

🎵
Wie kann man in diesen Zeiten nur tanzen?
Meistens von einem Bein auf das Andere
Feste feiern, auch wenn das Land brennt
🎵

@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
