Boostisbetterjosch: yet another reason for me to update the oled06:43
joschBoostisbetter: "update" the oled?06:51
joschyou mean updating the lpc or keyboard firmware?06:52
BoostisbetterGenau07:11
joschBoostisbetter: when you do, consider using my updated flash.sh scripts that guide you through the proces step by step.07:12
joschI'd like to get more people testing this to make sure the scripts are not buggy.07:12

vkoskivjosch: Nothing, with just the grep, it's 'MemTotal:        3810528 kB'08:17
joschweird that the part after the pipe doesn't work in your shell08:19
vkoskivYeah, just using bash here08:19
joschthe construct is posix shell, so it should be fine in bash08:19
vkoskivNot sure where ~370MB of RAM went :D08:20
josch(it works in dash, for example)08:20
josch370MB?08:20
vkoskivI know from experience, that booting linux with 32MB of RAM leaves about ~24MB usable08:20
vkoskivThis has 4GB in hardware, as far as I know08:20
vkoskivBut only 3.63GB usable.08:21
joschon imx8mq i get:08:21
joschMemTotal:        4024624 kB08:21
vkoskivHasn't been an issue so far, I don't think I've seen much swapping, if any08:21
joschyeah, 4 gb should be enough for everybody ;)08:21
vkoskivThe only thing I have to actively restrict on this system, is the amount of tabs in firefox08:21
joschoh?08:22
vkoskivI'm a chronic tab hoarder in recovery08:22
joschsame here but it seems to work out08:22
joschi'm using tabs instead of bookmarks and have thousands of them open that i search with the %08:22
vkoskivI have 1000+ tabs open on desktop ff08:22
joschis there a way i can ask firefox how many i have open?08:22
vkoskiv500 on mobile safari (that's the max limit (but you can open more in incognito mode in a pinch))08:23
vkoskivYes, right click a tab, select 'select all tabs'08:23
vkoskivThen right click a tab again, it shows you an option to close N tabs08:23
vkoskivactually it shows 2232 now08:23
vkoskivAlthough 90% are not resident in memory, and just load when I go back to them08:24
joschnice!08:24
josch427308:24
joschyes, same08:24
vkoskivI went through and closed about 50 recent ones, freed ~10GB of memory :D08:24
vkoskivWould be interesting to find out if the 3.63GB memory limit on the A311D could be bumped up somehow08:24
joschminute: ^08:25
vkoskivI'm just gonna let the reform drain today while at work08:26

vkoskivSet up a log script now, in case I miss the shutdown later10:36
joschvkoskiv: i was pondering about some more reasonable material options for custom trackball buttons. Though I fear that the measurements of the trackball button 3D model is adjusted to work well for the resin printer used by MNT and will be slightly off in other situations.10:48
vkoskivYeah, would need at least some prototypes before the expensive gold part10:49

abortretryfailI have one printed in ABS because the original broke. As long as the printer is calibrated it'll fit correctly 13:04
abortretryfailThe tiny tabs that hold it to the switch seem to be the weak point.13:05
joschi was about to say that13:05
joschwith pla and pet i was unable to print keycaps that would fit and not have their legs break all the time13:06
abortretryfailDid you print them flat or on their edge?13:06
joschthe problem with printing them on the edge is the required support...13:07
abortretryfailYep, mine required a support structure 13:07
abortretryfailA friend of mine printed it and chose to do it this way after considering how the first ones failed13:08
minutestating the obvious, but you can also just use regular kailh choc keycaps with the trackball 13:19
joschi think we are struggeling with the curved buttons not the rectangular ones :)13:19
joschthe problem with the curved ones is, that they are much more prone to breaking as they are the ones that one needs to remove to clean the trackball13:19

vkoskivMostly idling, occasionally checking on things and running a few cmds14:15
vkoskivBattery gauge went back to ???14:16
abortretryfail:(14:17
joschvkoskiv: yes, that's normal with the current lpc firmware14:18
abortretryfailI need to dig back into that LPC code, but since mine stopped doing it I've lost the motivation and been working on hibernate14:18
vkoskivIf I recall, the lpc does have access to some eeprom that could be used for storing that?14:18
minutejosch: sorry about the firedecor junk and thanks for fixing it!14:19
vkoskivabortretryfail: Interesting findings with hibernate, I'm also looking at suspend on A311D, but evidently you have more knowledge from the start here :D14:19
joschminute: sure thing :)14:19
minutevkoskiv: yeah lpc has internal flash14:19

abortretryfailwhat's the most convenient way to get the serial console out of the Reform w/o always having the bottom cover off? I've had this thing precariously hanging partially off my desk with the flipper zero dangling off 3 jumpers while working on this hibernate issue.18:37
sigridwiring it to the side panel is the best option if you can do it18:46
minuteabortretryfail: for example taking one of the side covers up and feeding a cable through it, or lasercutting/printing a custom side panel18:46
minuteup -> off18:46
minuteyeah, what sigrid says18:46
abortretryfailhmm yeah that's a good idea18:46
