erlehmannBoostisbetter link?03:28
slwhat is the appropriate name for the HYPER key as referenced in a swaymsg input xkb_options line03:45
slthis rabbit hole is way too forever war03:45
sli am trying to make HYPER act as CTRL03:46
slswaymsg input "1003:8258:MNT_Reform_Keyboard" xkb_options ctrl:norwin <- does not work03:46
slhave tried numerous variations, but not at all sure how i should be referencing the HYPER key03:47
kfxsl: HYER is definitely Super_R03:59
kfxsee if 'xkb_options ctrl:swap_rwin_rctl' works (it'll redefine the right ctrl to super_r) but at least we'll know if the shit is named right?03:59
slhey, that worked04:13
slthanks04:14
slstrangely, substituting lctl for rctl does not work04:15
slbut this is fine with me04:16
kfxin order for one of those to work it has to be a thing reported in /usr/share/x11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst04:19
kfxin other words that's not a language, but a selection from a hardcoded lookup table of common keyboard fuckery04:19
kfxi guess xmodmap was one of those ancient bloated protocols wayland wanted to leave behind, or something04:20
slah,  that's what i was missing04:20
sli couldn't figure out where these were defined04:20
kfxI don't think they're even defined in that file per se, just documented04:20
sli found many, many, many things purporting to be references04:20
slbut everything was incomplete and in many cases contradictory04:20
sl[linux]04:21
kfxI find the wev program to be useful, it's like xev but for wayland04:21
slyeah, i was looking at that too04:21
kfxit at least tells me what the computer thinks I'm typing04:21
slit was giving me the correct Capitalized names but i couldn't figure out where the shorthand understood by xkb_options was being defined04:21
slbecause they're not the same04:21
kfxand those names are in turn different from the actual xkb configuration lanaguage, which you can use, but it has to go in ~/.xkb/rules/ somewhere, and I can't find documentation on that format either04:22
slyeah04:23
slthe most exotic thing i ever did with this kind of stuff in x11 was using xmodmap to map the tablet keys on the thinkpad x series tablets04:23
sllike: xmodmap -e 'keycode 174 = Prior' # done04:24
kfxI'd pay money for things to be that simple with modern software04:25
erlehmannneat04:26
erlehmannsl thanks04:26
erlehmannsl hey, are you the plan9 person? if so, any plans to run plan9 on reform2?04:26
slyw04:26
erlehmannyw?04:26
erlehmannwdym04:26
slyou're welcome04:26
slin answer to your questions: yes, and yes04:27
slbut i'm not the one doing the work04:27
erlehmannoh, who is04:27
slsigrid has received one, and cinap has one on order04:27
slprimary devs --^04:27
slsomeone also threatens to port openbsd04:27
sli approve of all these efforts04:27
erlehmanni like your way of phrasing the openbsd thing04:27
slso far it's just tough talk04:28

sli used my last vintage payphone decal on this thing because i want to use this computer forever04:29
erlehmannwhat's a vintage payphone decal?04:29
sli am very much hoping one or more of these other operating systems boots sometime soon04:29
slerlehmann: http://img.stanleylieber.com/src/23149/img/small.1647653074.png04:29
slthese things used to be stuck on phone booths04:29
slthey're just big stickers, but they're very much weather proof04:30
erlehmannsl if you want to print new stickers, maybe start here ;) https://nitter.snopyta.org/aphistic/status/1504132269266677761?t=ttiCc3amiQ-pvV3_ZSkcxw04:30
erlehmanni see04:31
slhaha04:31
erlehmanncooljqln is actually pirating the reform04:31
erlehmanntrue to her name, this is cool04:31
erlehmanni bet you got these payphone in an entirely legitimate salvaging operation04:31
erlehmannpayphone decals04:32
sli paid $15 for a stack of them six or seven years ago04:32
erlehmannsounds legit04:33
erlehmanni believe you, you look trustworthy04:33
erlehmannuxn on reform2 when04:34
slnow, in linux04:34
erlehmanni should probably try to boot my reform1 again04:34
erlehmannit's literally collecting dust04:34
slwhy did you stop using it04:35
erlehmannlet me think about it04:35
erlehmannthere was something04:36
slthe payphone stickers are cool, but this was my favorite: http://img.stanleylieber.com/src/21894/img/1588994078.jpg04:36
slunfortunately had to leave it behind in my old office04:36
sli also paid money for that sticker04:37
erlehmanni bet i remember it as soon as i start the thing up again lol04:37
slhaha04:38
erlehmannwell, the only thing that *really* annoyed me that comes to mind is where the boot sd card thing is04:38
slthe only thing i really dislike about the reform2 is i occasionally accidentally power the thing off when checking battery stats04:38
erlehmannalso the thermal story was a joke04:38
erlehmannhow do you manage?04:39
sljust boot it up again, what else can you do04:39
erlehmannlike, just misscroll or press the button too long or so?04:39
erlehmannno, how do you manage to do it04:39
sloh04:39
sli accidentally hit circl-1 instead of circle-esc04:39
erlehmanni actually think minute has done a really good job making such a “management mode screen”04:39
erlehmannoh ok04:39
slthis sometimes has the effect of resetting04:40
erlehmannit reminds me of mednafen04:40
erlehmannit's a multisystem emulator04:40
erlehmannand quicksafe is f5. but quickload is f7.04:40
slhm, the top center screw on the lcd bezel is scratching an imprint of itself into the wrist rest04:40
erlehmanni have fatfingered both of them many times04:40
erlehmannbut the fact that f6 is not bound to anything saved me every time04:40
slthe other thing i'm not in love with is 16:9 screen04:41
slmy computer right before this was a uxga thinkpad t60p04:41
erlehmannwhich is different from nearly everything else i used, where the quicksave and quickload buttons are right next to each other04:41
erlehmannleading to fatfingered quicksaves right before a game-over04:41
slugh04:42
erlehmannha, my computer right now is a 1400x1050 thinkpad T6004:42
erlehmann4:3 yeah04:43
slit's good04:43
erlehmannyes04:43
slall right, time for me to take off04:43
slkfx: thanks04:43
erlehmannalso people stop usually when they say a new laptop would be better once i point out that it's impossible to find one with 4:3 matte screen04:43
erlehmanngood night!04:44
slgn04:44
slt60p uxga is matte, flexview04:44
slthat thing was so nice04:44
sllike $3,000 msrp04:44
sli sold it though04:44
sl<- ok gone04:45
aphistichaha, i'm hoping to get that sticker up somewhere to make it easy to get but i don't know where. stickermule is bad, redbubble seems to have poor printing quality04:50
kfxI have a Most Favored Laptop sticker as well.  It's military and impossible to find these days but the reform will get one when I get around to it05:27

kfxhttp://sciops.net/images/laptopstickers.jpg05:28
ex-parrotI love that sticker kfx 05:28
kfxI only have a couple of them left05:28
ex-parrotI want to re-draw it as a vector05:29
kfxI think it's not just printed, it's like ink-infused on some kind of plastic05:29
ex-parrotthe HHKB I got in Akihabara is where I put my absolute best computer stickers currently05:29

minutei was playing the c64 version today and i found it strange that it has no music20:13
minutereally odd20:13
minutealso, kind of unplayable because you have to swap floppy disks all the time20:13
- vagrantc (QUIT: Quit: leaving) (~vagrant@2600:3c01:e000:21:7:77:0:20)20:14
BoostisbetterOh yeah? And I agree why on earth would the C64 version not have any music when it has that excellent SID chip on it?20:23
Boostisbetterin the synth world SID chips are quite the coveted thing. 20:23

minuteBoostisbetter: exactly20:34
Boostisbetterminute: regarding the floppy disks: it is amazing how at the time we didn't really mind swapping disks but if we have to do it now we see how clearly a pain in the butt it was. 20:54
sigridi did not mind waiting for programs loading from tape either20:55
minuteyeah, not sure how i had that patience as a kid20:58
vkoskiv_It was already ancient at that point, but I started programming on the C64. I had plenty of patience to wait for tape loading then :D20:59
minutesimilar, i started with a ZX81 probably in like 199021:02
minuteand only got the c64 a bit later... really late to the game :D21:02
sigridmy programming was having an z80 assembly opcodes book on one side, sheet of paper and a pen on the other, writing in hex then typing it in on the computer21:02
sigriduntil i got a proper assembler from a friend, on tape21:03
vkoskiv_For me, I collected old computers since I could hold a screwdriver. When I got hold of a C64 that just dropped me to a basic prompt, I had to write some code to make it do cool stuff21:03
vkoskiv_But this would have been... 2008ish?21:04
minutehah, on the zx i only did BASIC, my first assembler was 6510/6502 on the c64. i had an action replay cartridge which had a simple monitor+line by line (dis)assembler that i used 21:04
