noamminute: assuming I tested the SoM right and the issue is the capacitors, what does the cost look like for repair? tbqh I don't think I trust myself to solder this by hand :/ Maybe I should see if there's a hackerspace nearby or something that has better tools I could rent out...00:11
minutenoam: did you already find a 5v to gnd short on the module?00:37
minutenoam: another option would be to abandon imx8mq and upgrade to a311d. did you consider that already?00:39
noamminute: fairly sure it's shorted, yes; first tested the 5V->gnd connection (first and fourth pin from the top, if I read the schematic correctly)? Then tested the capacitors, and multiple of them are reading as effectively shorts if I tested correctly00:40
noamThat said, it's entirely possible i misread the schematic, or was looking at an outdated one (it was date-stamped as from 2020 IIRC :/), or that my testing was flawed00:42
noamminute: as for upgrade, I've considered it but I'm not really interested. I'd rather repair what I've got than waste it.00:43

minutenoam: oh ok! the problem is that you need to be lucky to find exactly the capacitor that is broken00:43
minutenoam: and that can be done only by trial afaik 00:43
noamI was thinking of just replacing all of them to be safe :P00:44
minutenoam: as there are a number of identical caps in parallel on the 5v input00:44
minutenoam: in my experience replacing a single one often was enough... but i had some lucky hunches. sometimes it looked a little darker or sth00:44
minutesometimes i had to desolder 4 or 5 to find the one00:45
minuteboundary never made a new rev of the module i think00:46
minuteso 2020 is probably right 00:46
minuteanyway, i could do it but i am kind of swamped right now00:47

noamThe capacitors are fairly large by SMD standards, I miiiiiight be able to do it00:48
noamCan probably order the capacitors and some spares from a relatively local distributor, and get to work on testing / desoldering the existing ones before they arrive...00:49

vkoskivIf we were to move to foot as a default terminal, could even print out a sixel logo12:33
minutevkoskiv: we already did!12:36
minutedidn't realize that foot supports sixels12:37

erleso what exactly outputs sixels?13:19
erleanyone has a tga 2 sixel script or so?13:19
vkoskiverle: img2sixel(1)13:29
erlei have that installed actually13:30
erlewell i did “apt-cache search sixel” and the only terminal emulator it shows is foot13:32
erle> Section: x1113:32
vkoskivWeird, it's definitely a wayland program13:33
erleoh right13:34
erleweston has several backends – it can run on linux KMS … or as an X client!13:34
erlesomehow that is something i only learned today13:36
erlei mean it is the reference compositor, so ig it makes sense to advertise wayland programs as supporting X1113:36
erlehttps://www.mankier.com/1/weston13:37
abortretryfaili always thought it was silly they called Weston the reference compositor. Nobody uses it13:46
sknebel"nobody" on desktop, maybe. and even then, reference doesnt quite mean that?13:47
abortretryfailI guess. Does it get use on mobile?13:47
- cwebber (QUIT: Ping timeout: 248 seconds) (~user@user/cwebber)13:48
sknebelwas thinking embedded (re mobile, not sure what the linux phones do, android has its entirely own thing)13:49
abortretryfaillinux phones i've used were based on Phosh (gnome, basically) or that Unity-based thing they wrote using Mir for Ubuntu13:49
abortretryfailWeston plays like a tech demo, not something somebody would actually use to get anything done. The rotating windows thing is a good example of that, especially how it doesn't (or didn't...) have a way to snap to right angles.13:51
erlecjpeg is the reference jpeg library too13:52
abortretryfailhehe13:52
erleso far i think the only thing that it means is that google uses it for benchmarks13:52
erlethey “webp is so much better than jpeg” benchmarks use cjpeg and not the highly optimized mozjpeg encoder13:53
erlei suggest to make your own value judgements about that ;)13:53
abortretryfailI do wonder how many years ahead we'd be in Wayland-land if they'd written something like wlroots instead of weston as an example.13:56
abortretryfailthen again, i think wlroots was the product of a lessons-learned after sway was originally written to use wlc13:56
erleoh great, xfce4-screenshooter crashes itself when trying to screenshot a weston X11 window14:03
BoostisbetterI don't know. I think Waylands progress is super predictable. I think it is good to see progress there and I feel like Sway is an excellent tiler that takes advantage of what Wayland has to offer.14:04
erlei suspect wayland is more held back by missing features rn (i.e. the screen locking and window placement thing). by which i don't mean “those are totally impossible”, but more like “you can not rely on every wayland compositor doing this in the way users are accustomed to it” ig14:06
erlemeanwhile, flameshot can screenshot weston14:07
erlesixel support looks nice https://mister-muffin.de/p/NwDy.png14:08
abortretryfailwhat's the problem with screen locking? 14:40
abortretryfailI've heard the gripe about app devs wanting to be able to micro-manage where their window gets drawn and tbh i'm kinda glad wayland makes it hard. Sick and tired of stuff being drawn off-screen.14:41
vkoskivWhat if I'm building a notification program? It's okay if notifications pop up anywhere on the screen?14:46
vkoskivI think there are valid reasons to control window location14:46
abortretryfailhm, maybe14:47
abortretryfailthose have been pretty poorly behaved in my experience too, like Firefox popping notifications up on other desktops and leaving them there.14:48
abortretryfailseems like they target the gnome/kde user and anyone using something like fluxbox, awesome, i3, sway, etc just gets to deal with shit being wrong.14:49
sevanw00t, new openzfs release adds support for 6.5 kernel which means I no longer need to hold back on to the old reform kernel 14:59
sevanreform kernel is still on 6.5 right? :)15:00
joschsevan: yes, but not for long -- 6.6 can already be found on kernel.org since yesterday :)15:01
sevanheh :)15:02
sevanordered the new antenna and the flex bars for the keyboard yesterday, looking forward to trying that.15:03
joschi printed the flex bars yesterday to see what the difference is to the solution i am running right now: https://community.mnt.re/t/reform-mod-idea-internal-keyboard-brace/137315:05
joschif you ordered the laird antenna, the improvement will be quite noticable15:05
sevanthat's great :)15:06
sevancan't play atm anyway, so will have to wait until everything shows up.15:07
sevanhad to pull all the keycaps off the keyboard for the first time, a while back. Did it by hand and snapped the legs on some of the caps, hopefully the superglue did the trick. Will find out when I install them back in.15:09
noamvkoskiv: for what it's worth, I have notifications on wayland on my work laptop and they always show up in the upper-right corner?15:44
noambut yeah, that's a question of which implementation you're using >_>15:44
noamIn general, anything wlroots based works very well IME, and anything not is going to have problems :/15:44
rahis it possible to power up the Reform 2 without batteries present?15:51
noam...which one's the Reform 2?16:02
noamI've definitely powered my reform without batteries a couple of times16:03
noamthough of course the monitored battery readings become nonsensible16:03
vkoskivReform 2 is the "normal" reform. Reform 1 was a beta unit, only few dozen were made.16:15
erlereform 1 battery is a slab16:36
erlei believe 15 were made and 13 actually ended up working, correct minute?16:36
+ vagrantc (~vagrant@2600:3c01:e000:21:7:77:0:50)17:26
BoostisbetterI was missing a few applications that reform-check told me about, up until I installed those, I never saw a notification outside of a browser based one.17:29
BoostisbetterI kind of liked it though. I mean I was never bothered, and when I moved back to the screen with the application of concern I always found out then what was up. It was kind of a nice way to not let notifications interrupt me.17:30
