noamDays between building and breaking my Reform: eight03:49
slwhat did you do?03:49
noamNot broken broken, I'm fixing it tonight, but I'm clearly an idiot03:49
noamOvertightened a mobo screw03:50
noamIt popped out and shorted one of the battery boards03:50
sleee03:50
noamFried one of the traces03:50
slone (1) of the screws on my mb kept falling out03:50
noamOnly one of the two battery boards is connected right now 03:50
slit never caused damage though03:50
noamthe OLED shows battery status fine03:50
noamer03:50
noammostly fine >_>03:50
noambut... yeah03:50
slvery disconcerting to pull out the reform and hear that loose screw sound, though03:50
noamyeah, I left it with a loose screw sound for three days because, uh - it's just a loose screw, right? It's not *good*, but it's probably not a *big deal*03:51
noamand then suddenly I smell burning03:51
noamburning rubber*03:51
slneeds more blue goo03:51
noamMight have fried one of the batteries, though I'm not going to find out until after I fix the board ofc03:51
sli wonder if this is caused by flexing of the keyboard without the support rail03:52
sli just ordered a replacement set of batteries from the uk because they're not available domestically; shipping is prohibitively expensive but i did it anyway.03:52
slthe alternative is china03:53
noamwhere are you at that they're not available? US?03:53
slyeah03:53
sleverybody's sold out03:54
noamI mean, I know everybody in the US has sold out03:55
noambut I dunno what that has to do with the battery supply03:55
noam(sorry, I couldn't resist >_>)03:55
slwheeeee03:55
noamI'm going to just solder the trace and cover it with electrical tape03:55
noamit's fiiiiiine03:55
slreal computing!03:56
sli have bought someone's used reform that has some problems, so i may be breaking out the soldering iron soon as well.03:58
noamnice :)04:00
+ mtm (~mtm@c-71-228-84-213.hsd1.fl.comcast.net)04:09
noamwooo04:49
noamall batteries reporting 3.2V04:50
noamthat was pretty easy :)04:50
slyay!04:50
sli found a charger with eight slots, but i haven't tried it yet04:50
slit can do other types of batteries, too04:50
noamOnly problem is I'm still missing a mobo screw :/04:52
noamcan't just put it back in04:52
noamit's *going* to pop out if I do04:52
noammight need to repair the aluminium somehow04:53
sli can't remember what the blue goo is called04:53
slit's supposed to help hold them in04:53
noammaybe take everything out, fill in that slot, recreate the thread04:53
noamDefinitely fine as long as I don't carry it anywhere, for now04:59
noambut... part of the POINT is to have it be my portable one04:59
slthis was my struggle as well. awkwardly shaped for all my carrying options.04:59

noamminute: another silly question: the charge controller's max rated input is 55V. Could the reform be patched to support 3.7V batteries by "just" swapping some resistors controlling the LPC's behavior?06:40
noamIf I'mr eading the datasheet right, would probably "just" need to replace the feedback resistors from V sub BAT to V sub FB to ground?06:46
+ jacobk (~quassel@47-186-122-163.dlls.tx.frontiernet.net)06:56
noamWait, where did I see that it used that charge controller???06:58
noamDid I just totally hallucinate that? O_o06:58
noamaha, nope, handbook mentions it! > Either wall or battery power will be regulated to ~29V by the buck-boost regulator/charger LTC402007:00
noam...okay, but my hand is *definitely* not steady enough to actually try that, those resistors are *tiny*07:06

BoostisbetterIt would be cool if the charge controller could switch between standard 3.7V and 3.2V batteries. On the flip side, using normal lithium batteries could result in some fire risks that are very dangerous. The Lifepo batteries are far more stable in that regard. 08:39

joschminute: austriancoder found a problem that probably originated with you moving the source.mnt.re server. The latest artifacts are not available anymore see here: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/jobs/110518:07

Boostisbetterdoes anybody know if Jack Hummbert is going to be selling the orthogonal keyboards for the Reform anytime soon, I would LOVE to swap to something like that. But that is not to say that the Reforms staggered keyboard is bad. It is a very good keyboard as well. 18:35

joschaustriancoder: the reform-check utility should be installed on your machine as part of the reform-tools package (i wrote that script)19:56
Boostisbetterbtw, what do you all think is the most stablest browser on the Reform?20:01
BoostisbetterSo far Brave has been the most stable and compliant for me. 20:01

Boostisbetternever heard of that one, but I'll check it out. 20:02
Boostisbetterjosch: when using the 5.12 kernel I get weird graphical glitches in Dino on occasion. It doesn't happen on any other newer kernel. Any ideas if this is something that can be improved or if this is just a consequence of using an older kernel?20:03
Boostisbettersigrid: does it work on Debian as well?20:04
joschI like lynx or links2 -g if I want to be fancy.20:04
joschBoostisbetter: this is very likely just a consequence of using the older kernel.20:04

austriancoderjosch: minute: would it make sense to use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in combination with git to get reproducible builds? Something like: SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$(git log -1 --pretty=%ct)21:42
austriancoderthat should fix issues with embedded build/time information in binaries21:43

joschaustriancoder: we are doing this for the other CI jobs already -- just not for this one21:44
joschaustriancoder: and adding this now doesn't bring back the broken release :(21:44
joschin reform-debian-packages we use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$(git log -1 --format=%ct)21:45
joschso essentially what you proposed21:45
joschminute: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-boundary-uboot/-/merge_requests/1721:58

joschi don't know a way to tell gitlab that it should serve a different artifact than the one that the pipeline just produced22:25
joschso maybe the best way forward is to create a new tag with an entirely new checksum22:25
joschand then make a new release out of that22:25
joschand then hope that gitlab doesn't throw artifacts away again :D22:25
