vagrantcthough i only see what i presume is the most current version ... but that's a start00:04
joschvagrantc: what else would you like to have?00:05

vagrantcjosch: when using tarballs, guix likes to have stuff available for archival purposes ... with git it can fallback to softwareheritage.org ... and there's some service for tarballs as well ... but nice for that only to be a fallback and have tarballs persist indefinitely ... but that is also a lot to ask :)00:27
vagrantcjosch: would it be wild to have branches that with the patches more-or-less like they used to be? ... just a dump of the git format-patch for each series ... obviously a bit redundant00:28
vagrantcjosch: that is basically the simplest otpion for me to do if not done upstream... although scoping out possibilities to do things more elegantly00:29
joschvagrantc: if there is somebody who maintains the old way of having linux/patchesX.Y directories then i'll accept MRs doing that (these would not be used by the reform-debian-package machinery) unless minute is against doing that00:31
vagrantcjosch: seems like it woudl be best to do in some automated way, but I could also do it on an "as-interested" basis00:32
minuteit's ok if it doesn't confuse the hell out of people00:32
vagrantcheh :)00:32
minutelike, in the readme etc it should be obvious that the kernel is not built from those patches00:32
joschyes vagrantc if you would be interested in maintaining this, please provide such a blurp for HACKING.md in your MR00:39
joschvagrantc: what can be done in an automated way is that linux/build.sh put a message in the build log if the patches in linux/patchesX.Y no longer match what it constructed itself from the git for version X.Y00:40
joschvagrantc: you could then have some sort of automated script parsing gitlab CI build logs for this warning message to automatically get notified when the patch stack becomes outdated00:41
vagrantcinterestingly, i have been successfully using the 7.2.6 patches on top of 7.2.8, 7.2.9 and 7.2.10 without any changes that i recall :)00:42
joschvagrantc: yes, that's why the linux/build.sh script includes an automated fallback on the latest git branch that matches the current kernel version -- it doesn't require a branch for exactly the same version. It will try the nearest one.00:44

joschminute: some thoughts: i dislike touchscreens (and touchpads which is why the reform next is not for me) but i recently pondered whether maybe the mnt vector could be for me because it has something the pocket does not: it looks like a regular smartphone/tablet so you could show it in situations where people would otherwise refuse you because "your device looks weird, you are probably doing something 12:12
jahhi folks, if I install the fresh system image on my pocket reform, and then I update it with `sudo apt update` and then `sudo apt full-upgrade` I end up with a broken system, I tried that twice and here is how the pocket get stuck during boot with this running (it seems) endlessly: https://imgur.com/a/n0Ggce012:12
jahany idea waht is going on?12:12
joschfish" I'm thinking of things like: using it for toogoodtogo or the local cargo-bikesharing where people have to actively touch my device and swipe a thing to know that it's me. But using it for that would have one requirement: does it have an rfid reader included?12:12
joschjah: you probably upgraded your system without upgrading your pocket reform firmware first. Details here: https://community.mnt.re/t/important-note-about-the-new-mnt-pocket-reform-kernel-and-firmware-updates-20260819-updated/453412:13
jahjosch: I'll try that, thank you!12:14
minutejosch: yes, it could be good submarine in that sense :D rfid is a good point. it's definitely on one of the lists12:15
minutei also need to decide on which sensors to put in12:15
joschminute: nice -- i've made very good experiences with waydroid on the reform, so a lot of things can work that way12:17
minutejosch: cool! what kinda apps did you test successfully?12:18
joschtoogoodtogo, the app of our kita, the app of the local bikesharing, the app of the local carsharing12:19
joschall of those just seem to be "websites" inside an app12:19
josch(at least it looks like that when i look at the network traffic generated when using them)12:19
joschwhat makes this project a bit lower on my list of priorities is that then i become another reason why it's okay that daily life requires is to run operating systems which constantly phone home -- ideally i'd like to be able to say: it's not okay if i can only get updates about my child in kita by selling my soul to google or apple first12:21
josch"stelle heute wieder einiges fest" -- same, the screws on my acrylic bottom plate are loose and i have to fasten them again ;)12:26
minutejosch: about the apps, thanks, cool that those work12:30
minutejosch: no nylon on those screws yet or it doesn't help?12:31
joschminute: i bought the nylon screws from the shop and they were an improvement in the beginning but i open and close this thing regularly and there is barely any nylon left on them. The other problem is that half the screw holes in the body are so worn out that you can pull the screws out when you wiggle them a little bit...12:35

siviqSince you've been opening the system frequently, screws are always going to deteriorate with time. Similar latches are used in servers and storage, as they provide quick access for repairs and inspection.13:25

minutedear kde/qt6 experts! i just installed the new kdenlive on my debian unstable desktop (upgraded), and it has a splash screen with a significant amount of whitespace where i think should be a picture, a logo?14:59
minuteonce again i wonder which qml6 module or whatever is missing15:00
minutealso it upgraded very many libkf6* and qml6* things so it's hard to fathom that there's still something missing15:00

joschminute: i say bug in debian because if you install kdenlive even when you do it with Recommends switched on, qt6-image-formats-plugins will not be installed16:19
jfredminute: oh hell yeah, that looks very smooth16:19
joschi cannot say if the Depends or Recommends is missing from kdenlive or from one of its (transitive) dependencies but i guess that's what the kdenlive maintainer has to figure out16:19

lidstahwill probably add around 5 games to the mnt reform games list next month, not much time to play right now. just finished a project management lesson (or course?), finalizing the technical parts (I want the students to use project management methods to do an actual - small - project. Some kubernetes, a bit of reverse proxying, a cup of firewalling, a pinch of bgp, and a grain of replicated23:37
lidstahdatabases. project management software hosted on my homelab so I'll be able to see how each groups project evolves and manage their sprints - the nice part is that it's linked to a firewalling lesson and a kubernetes one :p) - and I've some work ongoing with clients too.23:37
joschi'm still playing factorio space age on my rk3588 classic reform. I just managed to build my first space platform on Nauvis. -- I read today that it runs on freebsd as well o023:40

lidstahright now I'm "playing" with openproject (which is less painful than this absolute eldritch horror called jira, to be honest), it checks all the checkboxes of what they'll need23:47

lidstah(and how much do they want you to use their "AI"… dark patterns everywhere even for simple tasks)23:50
loonmaking students use jira should be grounds for dismissal23:51
lidstahloon: that's why I won't torture them with it :) - openproject does the job while staying reasonably easy to grasp.23:54
lidstahat first I looked at Redmine (does the job but the UI is… well, dated) and then Taiga (does also the job but it's a bit heavier to properly host than openproject, a bit more moving parts), settled on openproject as it's a good compromise between the dated look of redmine (which might be rebarbative for them) and the nice UI of taiga.23:56
loontil rebarbative, I shall have to incorporate it into my vocabulary23:58
lidstahoh, not sure it's proper english - it's quite used in French, and I recall it being used sometimes in english23:59
