cwebberbut ok I have a way to boot it without the battery now at least00:01
cwebberis it cheaper to send things to Canada than the US due to the changes in tarrifs, I assume?00:04
cwebberI have addresses in both places atm00:04
minutecwebber: probably, but we declare a low value on these charger boards00:05
cwebberyeah it's mainly that I also ordered a Reform Next :)00:05
cwebberso probably when that's shipped eventually it should go to Canada instead00:05
minutecwebber: ah yes. that's probably cheaper in the US00:05
cwebberI'm guessing I can update Crowdsupply, I'll look00:06
minutecwebber: because crowd supply will have already imported it to the US. 00:06
minutecwebber: don't!00:06
cwebberoh!00:06
cwebberoh I misread00:06
cwebberok :)00:06
cwebberI won't00:06
minutecwebber: you'll have to pay US->CA overhead then :D00:06
minutecwebber: so, no worries. CS to US is the smoothest i think00:06
cwebbersounds good00:08

vagrantcwow reform2-lpc is reporting -371.53W power consumption and a 75% battery... when the battery is in fact at full capacity according to the OLED01:52
minutevagrantc: lil data error01:53
vagrantcpretty sure that something would catch fire using 371 watts, or the battery would die mighty quick charging at 371 watts01:53
minutevagrantc: newest lpc driver version?01:53
vagrantcyeah, i have been having a lot of unreliability with the battery reporting01:53
vagrantcstraight out of git01:53
minutevagrantc: there's a MR that relaxes some timings iirc01:53
vagrantcwould an old lpc firmware maybe be related?01:53
minutethat might help01:53
minuteand yes, i recommend to update lpc fw as well01:54

vagrantc:)01:58
minutevagrantc: yeah. i think there were some comments of someone saying 15/15/15 made it stable for them01:58
vagrantcit has been a couple years at least since i updated the firmware ... let's see if i can still build it too :)01:58

[tj]is the wiki on gitlab?09:42
josch[tj]: there are at least two wikis on gitlab, yes but they are not much used -- what is your plan?09:43
[tj]I'd like to write down what is needed on the imx8mp pocket reform09:46
[tj]minute: can you approve tj on gitlab when you get a moment09:48
josch[tj]: I think a wiki would be really nice to document a few things which are missing or are not fitting the handbook. There already are some articles by me in the reform-debian-packages and reform-system-image wiki but...09:50
joschI find it a bit confusing that there is one wiki per git project where what i actually want to have is not a "system image wiki" but a "products by MNT wiki"09:51
[tj]I want to track the development that is needed so it isn't documentation09:51
[tj]not static documentation09:51
josch[tj]: you mean a todo list?09:51
[tj]I think this is too much work to expect one person to do, so we need a todo list, references and notes on what is working and how to approach doing things09:52
[tj]it is probably going to be carried by multiple people09:52
[tj]multiply list by soms09:52
josch[tj]: would maybe filing gitlab issues be a good format for what you want to do?09:52
[tj]I don't think so, I think splitting stuff over pages makes you loose the ability to stumble onto something helpful09:53
[tj]it isn't very likely you will look at closed issues and they will have context on where you acquired patches09:54
josch[tj]: once your account is approved, i think whatever you want to write can certainly go into one of the wikis09:54
[tj]its computers so it isn't hard to move it around once it is written down09:54
joschminute: but maybe it would make sense to do the same that you did for https://source.mnt.re/bugs/bugs/-/issues/ that is, have one bugtracker for everything instead of splitting it by project? Maybe it would make sense to have one wiki for everything?09:54
josch[tj]: yes, please don't feel blocked by my questions about how to best organize this :)09:55
[tj]I keep my personal stuff in codeberg as issues, but I have a single project with multiple boards09:56
[tj]no system will be perfect09:56
joschindeed, i also have some long-ish articles in issue-form, my favourites are10:00
joschhttps://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-handbook/-/issues/210:00
joschhttps://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-handbook/-/issues/410:00

minutejosch: why split the bug tracker now? if everything is in one place, there's only one place to look. just put pointers up to that one place in other places where you might look by accident.18:13
minutejosch: [tj]: about wiki: i don't wish to onboard random people to source.mnt.re. the online climate is getting rougher and i don't have the bandwidth to vet everyone.18:14
minute[tj]: i don't mean you btw18:14
minute[tj]: but, if there's a wiki and people then need an account on source just to edit it, that account has too many powers18:14
minute[tj]: so if you really need a wiki, i would prefer it to be elsewhere18:14

bremnerfwiw, I too would prefer some kind of curated summary to wading through threads. Of course that depends on someone doing a good job of curation.19:54
bremnerhaving dealt with projects that have only a wiki (e.g. ikiwiki) and projects that have only a mailing-list /  discourse (mnt-reform), neither seems ideal alone.19:57
