chah. serial is filled from the rp2040 serial by default, i think i'd like to keep that. my best idea is to add a command to the reset interface. seems like most devices do something like tht01:14

sts-qIf i would like to turn wifi on and off with swayidle like it does turn on and off the screen, where should i go and investigate?10:10
sts-qswayidle/swaymsg/output/on/off is working and turn wifi on/off via commandline is working, too.10:10

chminute: re versions: my info rgd fwupd support was incomplete; it also supports "number" (int) and "plain" (string). for "plain" i dont know how it determines which version is higher. let me know if you think "number" would fit better10:14
minutests-q: you could make a bash script with everything you need in it and use swayidle to call that. sudo can only work if you don't need to enter a password for that though10:15
minutech: 8 digit number sounds good!10:15
chminute: i see in the sysctl source there's a display change planned. i guess there is no way of detecting this as startup. if so, then i think the fw should advertise that as part of bcdDevice so it can be in the fwupd hw guid (and thus you can have a different firmware)10:16
chminute: cool, i'll see about number then10:16
minutech: well spotted. devices with the different display will have to have a different sysctl firmware lineage yep10:17
chok, then we need to turn on support for different revisions and such. will check it out10:17
sts-qBut the wifi-on/off command requires sudo-rights, doesnt it?10:19

minuteabsolutely16:11
gsoraif it ends up being too difficult i'll fall back on alpine, and maybe package tools etc16:12
mhoyeI am genuinely angry that the systemd people decided to kill schroot16:15
gsoraisn't that called systemd-nspawn now? :^)16:20
joschmhoye: how did the systemd people kill schroot?16:33
grimmwareyeah that looks like it's still a package17:12
joschit is, but it's slowly dying17:12
joschand i don't think it's because of systemd17:12
grimmwareno, I think that chroots in general are falling out of favor because namespaces are more flexible17:13
joschwell... they also use chroot17:14
joschbut inside a user namespace17:14
joschthe problem with schroot is, that it's a very large suid binary17:14
grimmwareoof17:15
joschit was useful at its time17:15
joschback then there were no user namespaces, so it was useful to have a suid root binary which allowed you to do some things for which you ordinarily would need to be the superuser17:16
+ spew (~spew@155.133.15.29)17:16
grimmwarelegit, times change17:22
mhoyeIt's failed for me refusing to run shared libraries for a long time now.17:23
joschi do not think the issue is systemd though17:23
mhoyewhat I used to use it for - and could use it for, for a long time! - was running different distros simultaneously.17:24
joschi think the main thing that killed it was, that it wasn't maintained much anymore -- have a look at the git commit history in the past 10 years17:24
joschmhoye: you might want to evaluate other options to do that like podman, systemd-nspawn, plain unshare, mmdebstrap or even docker17:25
gsoramhoye: have you tried distrobox?17:25
mhoyeI can do all this in VMs or whatever, sure. What I had going for a while was a system where you could just switch distros by switching VTs.17:26
gsoradistrobox does that! but in podman i think17:26
joschi think cubes OS is offering something similar17:27
mhoyec-a-f3, Ubuntu+gnome, c-a-f4, Fedora+KDE, easy as pie.17:27
mhoyeI'll take a look at cubes and podman, thanks.17:27
grimmwaresystemd-nspawn is pretty good for persistent multi-distro but it requires learning how to use systemd-nspawn17:27
joschmhoye: schroot still works fine in debian (many people use it as the backend for sbuild) but its maintenance is on life-support i'd say17:28
joschluckily, there are many alternatives to schroot these days17:28
grimmwaredistrobox looks pretty neat. I'm a fan of podman because I've managed to use it at work to do some really gnarly things in an effort to replace docker with something that uses unprivileged user namespaces without causing disk space problems17:29
- spew (QUIT: Ping timeout: 245 seconds) (~spew@155.133.15.29)17:29
grimmwareI did a talk about it at 44con last month, I'll share the video when it's uploaded if anyone's interested17:29
gsorai tried podman a couple years ago, there was no clear docker-compose support though17:30
gsorado you know if there's something like that for podman as well now?17:30
grimmwareIt basically worked in my use cases17:30
gsoraas for distrobox, it works great when paired with a stateless/read-only distro17:30
+ spew (~spew@201.141.99.170)17:31
grimmwareif you're doing unprivileged you can expect the networks to not really work how you'd expect because you don't have the privileges to bridge the host network namespace17:31
grimmwareit works fine if you're just doing a single container because it can use slirp4netns to just bind on the listening ports of the host and NAT all the traffic for you but with a network it doesn't know to preemptively bind on the ports in the host namespace17:32
gsorai got out of that habit a long ago! :D17:32
gsorai should play with it again17:32
gsorai liked that it generates systemd units 17:32
grimmwareit's definitely worth a look because it's developed way better features than docker IMO17:33
grimmwarebut you don't really want to use it on an older non-redhat based LTS because if you have any bugs in 3.x.x they don't give a shit and will tell you as much17:33
grimmwareended up having to do a bunch of bugfix backporting, my main regret about the project was that I didn't just get on and backport podman 417:34
grimmwaregsora: anyway if you run into any issues hit me up cos I know way more about it than I ever wanted to hahah17:34
gsorafor sure! thank you17:34

midfavilaalso fwiw there are designs on the market of professional trackballs, at least from last century, that use a similar design23:27
midfavilaat least if you're saying what i think you're saying23:27
midfavilathe kensington from the 90s i had used little wheels that sat on axles and then the ball sat on those. worked great ngl23:28
