q66<@mntmn> like, can they be laser charred?04:20
q66as far as i can tell these are PBT so dyesub is the standard thing04:20
q66iirc laser etching on pbt is no good04:21
q66the other popular thing is doubleshot keys but that's hard with PBT (due to shrinkage) so you usually see it on ABS keys, but ABS is crap (and PBT is good)04:23

dopplerI've never had a good understanding of just how difficult PBT shrinkage makes double-shooting06:23
dopplerlike, will most places still do it but they'll charge you a lot? or is it just hard to find someone to do it, period06:24

ehmryI was skeptical of the trackball, but now i prefer it over the trackpoint14:04
ehmrythe old thinkpad keyboard just isn't comfortable anymore for me14:05
+ B[] (~Thunderbi@219-89-228-78-adsl.sparkbb.co.nz)14:06
mntmnehmry: oh wow ok14:08
mntmnehmry: i have discovered more ergonomic keycaps btw, but they do not support backlighting currently14:08
mntmnehmry: i don't remember if you have a blank keyboard though14:08
lastebilit is a good trackball. It beats the crap out of the old trackballs pre-trackpoint which were located in a similar location - but had far less functionality14:50
lastebilI still like poin-ted sticks (trackpoint things) but I have some that are much less functional (Dell or Toshiba) so... the trackball is a far better option.14:51
lastebil(and of course I still maintain that 'touchpads' should never be placed anywhere near humans or computers.)14:52
mntmnthanks, that's good to hear15:01

q66doppler: double-shot pbt is doable, you just won't see it much16:24
q66dyesub is easier and just as durable16:25
q66the ink pretty much penetrates the plastic and as pbt doesn't undergo significant wear, it stays on16:26

dopplerq66: neat16:59
dopplerq66: of course the issue at hand is that dyesub doesn't allow for backlighting IIUC because it doesn't go all the way through the key the way a double-shot construction does17:00
- deltab (QUIT: Ping timeout: 260 seconds) (~deltab@95.154.230.49)17:00
q66right17:01
q66well, it just won't go through the key17:02
q66ACTION always found backlight pointless so he doesn't care so much17:03
doppleryeah; you'll still get some glow around the edges17:03
q66but i also usually use blank keyd17:03
q66keys17:03
dopplerI don't care terribly much personally either; my only use of keyboard backlights is on unfamiliar layouts17:04
dopplerrandom laptop -> "where the hell did manufacturer X put Insert this time?" (fuckers)17:06
dopplerpardon my language17:06
q66lol17:06
q66yeah i guess17:07
q66i rarely deal with laptops17:07
dopplerlucky you17:07
q66and my desktop keyboard is 30 years old17:07
q66not much changes there17:07
dopplerright17:08
dopplerI think mine is about the same17:08
dopplerit's easy when it's your own equipment and it's all modular17:08
dopplerI should get some blank keycaps sometime; those always sounded fun17:09
dopplerI have so many keycaps and keyboards in my possession that I've never been able to justify ordering yet another set ;)17:09
dopplerACTION imagines sanding off the printing on a set of PBT caps17:10
dopplerwonder how well that would turn out17:10
+ deltab (~deltab@95.154.230.49)17:11
q66well, current one has legends https://i.imgur.com/nQq5bvM.jpg17:17
q66i just don't look at them17:17
dopplernice space saver!17:21
q66maybe i'll turn it blank once https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/ ships17:23
dopplerhah yeah17:23
q66i have two keyboards ordered and while at it some extra keycap sets and they should be directly compatible17:23
q66since they made the choice to use model m compatible spacebars17:24
doppleroh interesting17:24
dopplerthat is different than the original Fs, right?17:24
q66it should be identical other than the spacebar17:24
q66which had different width as well as weight on the originals17:24
doppleroh right, of course; they were super wide on the originals17:25
dopplerbut we need modifiers these days17:25
q66yeah it means a more standard layout (it's pretty much a very standard 60% for F66, and a 60% + extra block for F77) plus easier to source keycaps in the future17:26
dopplerwhat are the non-space keycaps? are they newly produced but F-compatible?17:33
q66yeah should be17:41
q66model m and model f use the same keycaps17:41
q66except model f keycaps were always one-piece, and model m keycaps (as produced today by unicomp as well as late IBM years) are two-piece (there's a 1U size stem, and a keycap on top of that)17:42
q66https://i.imgur.com/iMLjbvs.jpg17:44
q66except the large ones that is, e.g. shift and enter and so on were one-piece always17:45
q66not that big of a difference between them17:47
q66the two-piece ones may be a bit cheaper to produce17:47
dopplerI wouldn't have guessed18:01
ehmrymntmn: how do I make sure I've oriented the display pannel connector correctly?19:37
ehmryI have a white dot in one corner19:38
mntmnehmry: white dot is pin 119:43
mntmnehmry: on the silkscreen of the connector on the PCB there is a little cutout in the rectangle there19:44
mntmnehmry: do you see it?19:44
ehmryyep19:44
mntmnone corner is different then the others. so that's where white dot goes19:44
ehmrynext question is, do you know how to get the linux console on the panel as soon as possible?19:44
ehmryits tty1?19:45
mntmnnot sure if i understand the question!19:45
mntmnto get a console on the kernel the nwl-dsi and dcss driver modules must be loaded, and dcss module without hdmi parameter19:46
q66to get video output on display you usually specify console=tty019:47
q66then linux should use it as soon as all the drivers are available19:47
q66before then, i don't think you can get anything19:48
q66you could if you had EFI+efifb19:48
ehmryi'm dumb, I have a module mix up19:49
ehmrybut I think its strange that the panel seems to come up as tty1 rather than tty019:49
q66tty0 is the kernel console (i.e. default), tty1 is a specific virtual terminal19:50

ehmryjeez, you'd think this stuff was designed in the 70s20:09
mntmnehmry: it is possible to get even earlier console output incl. penguins if the dcss+nwl-dsi are compiled into the kernel. you lose HDMI capability then, at the moment, until i manage to make that switchable at runtime20:17
q66mntmn: you should still be able to see penguins if you stuff the modules in your initramfs20:23
q66but it will kick in a bit later20:23
ehmryI've been putting in my luks password before the initrd brings up the display :/20:24
ehmrybut I'm also mixing and matching kernels and initrds20:25
mntmnah, i'm not using a initr20:32

mntmnso far20:32
