| jackhill | I think it would be really funny to use in a reform, but I suspect the real benefit will be using iMX8 in places that expect a Pi. | 00:30 |

| jackhill | hopefully they'll make it open hardware | 00:30 |
| jackhill | then I can always get one build myself if I really want one. | 00:30 |

| josch | i can imagine that an integrated camera makes it more of a "normal" laptop -- when i show my reform to non-tech people, one of the first things they notice is not the mechanical keyboard or the lifepo4 batteries but the lack of a camera. Even though most of them rarely ever do video chat with their laptop as they all own smartphones that they use for that purpose... | 17:14 |

| mtm | I'd say not just an LED tied to the power rail, but put a latch on it too. That way even if the camera is activated for a handful of milliseconds the LED would stay lit | 17:26 |

| gsora | what if the switch physically turned both LED and camera no | 17:27 |
| gsora | s/no/on | 17:27 |

| theesm | josch, regarding your guix question, is it about the scm_to_stringn conversion error mentioned earlier on here in the context of getting the substitutions for nss-certs? i've seen a similar error a longer time ago on guixes bug tracker, maybe i'll be able to find it again | 23:16 |
| theesm | iirc the cause was something along the lines of GUIX_LOCPATH not being set properly when using guix on a foreign distribution, e.g. not on guix system | 23:17 |
| josch | theesm: that's exactly what i'm doing -- i'm installing the guix package maintained by vagrantc here in the chat | 23:18 |
| josch | theesm: on debian unstable that is | 23:18 |
| josch | theesm: I'm trying to do this with GUIX_LOCPATH: https://source.mnt.re/josch/mnt-reform-nonguix/-/blob/main/.gitlab-ci.yml?ref_type=heads#L37 | 23:20 |
| josch | that's what it tells me to do in the output of the command above | 23:20 |
| Twodisbetter | Awesome to see you coming in live from the Reform next board! | 23:23 |
| theesm | josch, yes you did install glibc-locales and set the right path... i'm not too familiar with gitlabs CI, but does $HOME work as expected in that context; i'd probably add a simple `ls $HOME/.guix-profile/lib` or sth to the .gitlab-ci.yml to check if we're setting the variable to an existing path... | 23:33 |
| josch | right, let me try that next | 23:33 |
