| m2 | mntmn thank you! the 2 wifi sticks i have are Alfa awus036ac and ralink rt5370, if either of those are a possibility to include. of course, i'm happy to get a supported one too if its too much of a detour | 06:56 |

| bkeys | ACTION gets teased | 17:21 |
| mntmn | yeah | 17:26 |
| bkeys | The CNC milled parts were a good idea | 17:26 |
| bkeys | What would be cool is if you could do that for the entire case | 17:27 |
| bkeys | Godot is getting close to a GLES2 renderer so I'll just get a prebuilt one I think, by the time it's in my hands Godot will have the GLES2 renderer ready for me | 17:28 |
| bkeys | mntmn: Is it possible to boot a linux distro from the PCIe? | 17:31 |
| bkeys | I'm wanting to use a PCIe SSD in it | 17:31 |
| mntmn | why not a sata ssd? | 17:39 |
| mntmn | bkeys, most of the case will be CNC yes | 17:40 |
| mntmn | we’re redesigning it currently | 17:40 |
| bkeys | I see, and because PCIe SSD is way faster than SATA SSD | 17:40 |
| mntmn | on the imx6? are you sure? | 17:40 |
| bkeys | I'm not sure on the I.MX6 | 17:40 |
| mntmn | please check the manuals first :D they’re public | 17:40 |
| bkeys | You got a point | 17:41 |
| bkeys | ACTION rtfm | 17:41 |
| bkeys | Also, what all distros have you personally tested on it? | 17:41 |
| mntmn | debian only | 17:41 |
| mntmn | but vifino here is working on arch afaik | 17:41 |
| bkeys | I see, I'd really like to see about getting Fedora on it | 17:42 |
| bkeys | I imply it supports the mainline kernel? | 17:42 |
| mntmn | yep | 17:42 |
| mntmn | fedora should work | 17:43 |
| mntmn | i also recently tested kde plasma desktop, very decent | 17:43 |
| bkeys | Yeah reading the manual what I'm guessing will have to get done | 17:43 |
| bkeys | Is basically Fedora should boot off the SD | 17:43 |
| bkeys | The challenge will reside in putting /boot on the SD card and everything else on the SSD | 17:44 |
| bkeys | And that's good to hear, I'm a KDE fan | 17:44 |
| mntmn | i have a setup like that myself (sd+sata ssd) | 17:44 |
| bkeys | Judging by the manual, mSATA is going to be the best option | 17:45 |
| mntmn | and then you still have PCIe for other niceties | 17:47 |
| bkeys | Yeah, not sure what said niceties will be but it'll be there | 17:54 |
| bkeys | I'm gonna guess here and say that the campaign won't be in 2018 at all | 17:55 |
| bkeys | ACTION sniffles | 17:55 |
| mntmn | 2018 is almost over | 17:56 |
| mntmn | and getting things done in the second half of december is pretty challenging | 17:56 |
| bkeys | Yeah it's understandable | 17:58 |
| bkeys | I'm excited is all | 17:58 |
| mntmn | good good ;) | 17:59 |
| mntmn | m2, http://dump.mntmn.com/zImage this kernel should pick up your mediatek usb stick, but you still need nonfree firmware for that :/ | 18:03 |

| mntmn | hmmm rotary encoders https://hackaday.com/2018/12/13/every-computer-deserves-a-rotary-encoder/ | 23:10 |
