* Guest3547 -> mjw12:27
joschminute: thank you for merging the bmaptool MR. One concern I had and which we might've not talked about is, that this doubles the list of files in the artifact download view of gitlab. People might be confused what these bmap files are and what they should be downloading.12:39
joschminute: if you think it's an issue, please don't just revert the commit, but instead, just remove the bmap files from the artifacts section in ~/.gitlab-ci.yml12:40
joschi want to offer bmap files on reform.d.n, so even if you don't publish them on source.mnt.re, having the scripts create them is useful for me12:41
minutejosch: i think it's fine13:06
minutejosch: but we should really add a README.txt to the artifacts :D13:06
josch+113:06
vkoskivAny org-mode users here? I've been taking notes in plaintext more recently, and I've heard of org-mode, but the first impression isn't great :D13:19
vkoskivThe main page has a nice overview, looks cool. Especially the inline code block thing looks nifty. So I go to try it, and it doesn't work. I have to dig around in configs to set that up, apparently?13:20
digitalraynevkoskiv, i live and die by the hand of org-mode, i'm happy to share my experiences or help you with any problems, but it should just work13:25
digitalrayneit is also very low resource usage and reform friendly :)13:26
vkoskivCurrently I'm just writing random markdown-ish plaintext in vim or helix13:37
joschminute: i accidentally pushed a commit to main for reform-system-image13:39
joschminute: it contains README.flashing with a draft text13:40
joschminute: feel free to add/change/delete whatever you find necessary13:40
joschmy intention was to push this in a separate branch and create a mR13:40
joschmy apologies for that13:40
minutejosch: no problem13:46

minutejosch: i think if the README.flashing had like a .txt or .md ending then gitlab might be able to render it16:32
minutejosch: but i will need to make copius use of the CI builder in the next minutes :D16:32
mhoyeDid the proposed ortholinear keyboards ever happen?16:47
mhoyeI think prototypes, but not shipping, is where that stalled out.16:49
minutemhoye: only one was made, by jack humbert, and lent to our bnys in the US, but then returned to jack.16:51
minutethey did not, as far as i know, release the design16:51
minutejosch: added a few little things here, i think it's almost ready for primetime. will build reform-debian-packages based on this and test with a new system image 16:57

joschminute: about commit dd04c4e1 in reform-debian-packages: did you adjust the script updating the repo such that it investigates the file variables.sh contains REFORM_TOOLS_BRANCH=main?19:06
joschotherwise, the repo might ship an unreleased reform-tools version19:06
minutejosch: not yet, thanks for the reminder19:23
minuteimplementing that19:26

joschinteresting how gitlab sorts README before all the other entries but i guess it's best like that :D19:53
minutejosch: maybe capital letters before lowercase? :D19:53
joschright, it probably needs a different extension for gitlab to do its rendering magic19:53
minutei will now try bmaptool to test the pocket reform image19:54
joschminute: make sure that it prints that it auto-discovered the bmap file19:54
minutehmm > bmaptool: ERROR: wrote 0 blocks from image './pocket-reform-system-imx8mp.img.gz' to '/dev/sdb', but should have 829314 - bmap file './pocket-reform-system-imx8mp.bmap' does not belong to this image19:55

vkoskivI just purchased my first Amiga!20:51
vkoskiv500+ with all the goodies20:51
minutevkoskiv: omg! what model20:52
minuteah 500+!20:52
minutegood one20:52
vkoskivI've been collecting vintage computer gear since 2010, but I've somehow managed to completely miss out on Amiga stuff20:53
vkoskivVery excited about trying everything there now. I've read a lot about them, but never owned one :D20:53
minutenice! i can't imagine how it would be to experience it for the first time now21:00
vkoskivYeah, I think I downloaded one of the AmigaOS descendents many years ago to briefly try out in an emulator, but that was before my brain had fully developed21:01
vkoskivI feel like I can appreciate these systems more now that I've spent some time studying 68k assembly and hardware details on other 68k systems21:01
vkoskivThe oscilloscope I recently got also runs a 68EC020, so I've been reading 68k code trying to reverse-engineer the firmware21:06
minutemanually installing the qcacld debs works21:08
minutevkoskiv: nice, an osc that has an 68020?21:08
vkoskivYup! And a cool green phosphor CRT too. It's an Agilent 54622D from ~200121:09
minutejosch: could i ask you to release these? :D https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-tools/-/merge_requests/6821:09
minutethen the only thing i need to fix is preinstalling qcacld2 in the image21:10
minuteok, running another reform-system-image pipeline to maybe get a release-able image tomorrow morning :321:32
