BoostisbetterSo is anybody else using xmpp as well as IRC here? Or do we all prefer IRC up in here? 15:51
minutei use IRC with weechat on my server, and glowing bear as the frontend.16:10

+ MajorBiscuit (~MajorBisc@83.22.42.172.ipv4.supernova.orange.pl)16:13
Boostisbetterminute: nice! I'll look those up.16:19
Boostisbetterminute: so weechat isn't a server per se but rather a relay to a IRC server? 16:23
BoostisbetterBut then there is also the weechat client that can connect to weechat relays? 16:24
BoostisbetterIs that right? 16:24
joschto talk with the clapper maintainer (who is also in this channel as rafo star) i recently installed nheko as a matrix client -- i never used matrix before but usability seems to be nice so far16:24
q66Boostisbetter: weechat is an irc client16:44
q66it implements a custom protocol that lets third party "clients" on other machines access its state16:44
q66so you can be running the weechat instance on a server (it has a curses UI) while having a GUI on your machine that works over the relay protocol 16:45
q66glowing bear is one such GUI16:45
q66an advantage over an irc bouncer is that it's not a simple message replay, you are accessing the current state of the remote irc client in real time 16:47
q66so it can never desync or make you lose messages 16:48
q66a disadvantage is that weechat's codebase kinda sucks and I don't trust it enough to let it have its own listen port open in the firewall16:49
q66you can mitigate that somewhat by not exposing it directly but proxying it through e.g. nginx16:50
q66that also lets you do https16:50
q66weechat-android also implements a ssh tunnel approach which is the best but that only works with that one client (also it's a mess and only supports rsa keys, not ed25519)16:54
BoostisbetterInteresting. Kind of cool as well. 17:22
eery[m]I used irssi in a tmux session for a long time, but got tired of keeping it up for just here and the power9 channels, so now I'm just using the matrix bridge17:25
sknebelI use quassel, which is a different implementation of the same concept (server with custom clients)17:26
minuteBoostisbetter: correct. weechat client is not strictly needed though.18:01
minuteBoostisbetter: i think it just offers a bit more functionality tailored to the weechat relay18:01
minutejosch: i shall put it online soon; so far it exists only on my disk18:01
joschah okay18:36
joschminute: feel free to ping me once you have placed them somewhere :)18:36

minutelets speculate that pocket reform with 8mplus, 8GB ram, 128GB eMMC would cost USD 849 and free shipping. how does that sound?21:59
Boostisbetterminute, I'll give you double that for one right now. Hahahaha21:59
minuteahaha21:59
BoostisbetterDoes that include the aluminum andonized case? 21:59
minuteyes21:59
BoostisbetterPLEASE SOFORT!!!22:00
Boostisbetterhahahaha22:00
minutehehe22:00
minutei'm doing price calculation now, it's really hard tbh22:00
BoostisbetterI believe it. Hard times to plan such things for sure. 22:01
minutea big gamble22:01
klardotshoh wow. the marketing piece writes itself: "50% cheaper than the flagship phones. And you're root - even at a hardware level."22:01
BoostisbetterLet me ask you this though, what do you see being the max configuration? Is that it? 22:01
minuteklardotsh: lol!22:02
minuteBoostisbetter: no, you can max it out with SSD, cell modem, sleeve and so on22:02
minutebut ssd + cell modem are off the shelve parts. sleeve is hand made here of course22:02
Boostisbetterklardotsh, exactly22:02
Boostisbetterminute, ok, maxing isn't my goal, but I would like the cellular, ssd, and a sleeve. i plan to seriously use the heck out this thing. 22:03
minuteoh, the librem 5 is $1299 now? 22:03
Boostisbetteryep22:03
minutelead time 52 weeks22:03
Boostisbetterpricey, and the Pocket is going to walk all over it honestly22:03
klardotshobviously Pocket Reform targets something a bit different than, say, the iPhone 12345678XProMaxS or whatever we're on now, but still, as a netbook revival device or some such, that's a killer price.22:03
minuteklardotsh: cool, thanks22:04
BoostisbetterIt is going to be replacing (finally) a 1 Netbook Onemix 3pt22:04
Boostisbetterfor me at least22:04

minuteBoostisbetter: i see that we're using the same battery format, but pocket has 2 of those22:08

joschi was spending money on mobile linux devices since the openmoko neo1973, freerunner and nokia n900 and neo900 days -- nothing of that ever became more than a hobby project on the side22:33
joschthis makes me extra happy about my reform because finally i have hardware that is good enough to become my only machine22:33
josch(which has disadvantages as well... i need to get back to my office to flash the reform lpc firmware...)22:34
Boostisbetterjosch, yeah, I still have my n900 and use it. The Reform really is excellent and could be my main as well. This means the Pocket could be as well, and that is really compelling. 22:35

ec0hello o/ very nice to meet all of you, I haven't been in this channel long but I've been excited and following this project for some time. I'm personally into open source hardware and have designed some hardware myself, I'd love to be more involved with this project as I'm very passionate about use repairable and open source hardware, and as part of that I was planning to preorder a reform. does anyone know if the shipping estimates on crowdsupply...23:24
ec0... currently are fairly accurate, or if they are likely very optimistic?23:24

BoostisbetterI would all of it to be accurate. MNT having been selling the Reform now for a while and are quite proficient at it. 23:37
klardotshI'll vouch that when I had shipping problems, the MNT team were busting their butts to get things to Mouser (CrowdSupply's parent company), so unless Mouser/CS is acting up again (long, resolved, story), I'd probably trust the estimates personally.23:38
+ MajorBiscuit (~MajorBisc@83.22.42.172.ipv4.supernova.orange.pl)23:44
ec0thank you, I've only used crowdsupply before previously for two projects (the sensor watch and tigard) and it was fantastic both times, so I really appreciate both of you sharing your experience & knowledge of past batches23:50
c-keen[m]the europe units which shipped directly from mnt were right on schedule, the world wide units got tangled up in a logistic nightmare with Mouser23:54
c-keen[m]also then parts shortage etc, but everything has been communicated very clearly and transparent from mnt's side, so one couldn't complain about the service :)23:55
klardotshyeah, MNT handled that better than I could have possibly asked for (transparency down to spreadsheets showing what items were backlogged, where, and why) and I happily have ordered more stuff along the way. I was scared off of using CS for a while after that mess, but I get the impression they learned a lot from that backlash.23:57
