oh wow ok. even better. i thought you were maybe building on our recent barebox fork release where we have DSI and HDMI working and it can pass the framebuffer to openbsd. but the DSI was only targeted to pocket reform so far, i.e. only has a panel driver for that so far.

the developments at gitlab feel unsettling. we have all our sources in a self hosted gitlab since a long time, and migrating to i.e. forgejo would be a big undertaking, with the tons of deeplinks from our docs into the repositories, a bunch of tricked-out CI yamls etc. and we're under a lot of pressure to ship hardware atm, so i can't pick that battle right now :/

in c99, i can initialize a struct variable directly with a designated initializer. and i can assign that variable to a member of an array of such structs (it gets copied). but is there a way to do both in one step, but not at initialization time? what i mean is, use the designated initializer "anonymously" to overwrite an array member?

MNT Quasar Beta version fully routed, tomorrow i'll do some mechanical interference checks/changes and then it's done. this module will support 3 different Qualcomm Dragonwing processors:
- QCS6490 (integration mostly done, low idle power consumption, can do sleep/resume, can disable hypervisor)
- QCS8550 (works, very fast incl GPU, but need to fix some GPU issues)
- Q-8750 (up to 4.3GHz Oryon, will test end of May)

hell yeah, got displayport alt mode over usb-c working on rk3588 pocket reform with mainboard 2.0!
in the end it was a DP lane polarity issue: USB3 allows lane polarity swap for better PCB routing, but DP doesn't. tricky when you need to reuse the same lanes for both.

the argument "but you're also no longer using a fountain pen to write" against hand-written code is silly to me. i think close to 100% of people would rather read a short story written in fountain pen by octavia e. butler or william gibson than something that a rando ai-prompted? they could even take their time, why would it need to be rushed?

we're launching RK3588 processor + 8GB RAM + 64GB eMMC models of MNT Reform and MNT Pocket Reform at prices lowered by 100 EUR: https://shop.mntre.com
at the same time, we bumped up the eMMC on the 16GB RAM + 128GB version, which was the only variant since the beginning of the year, to 16GB RAM + 256GB eMMC with a 50 EUR price increase.
we've also updated the variants of the upgrade modules for Pocket and classic Reform in a similar fashion.

nonprofit business idea: org that offers bands who only post on instagram to mirror their content to the fediverse for free (and optionally do community mgmt?)

i'll ask the manufacturer for the next trials

experimental glass panel with bonded display for mnt pocket reform. pretty fancy, but tested for you: putting screws in glass is not the best idea (cracks very quickly under tension)

also, is it a general android 15 problem that notifications are super wonky/random? for example, [@holo_memory](https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@holo_memory ) is writing to me on signal while i'm typing here on masto, and most of the time the phone vibrates in my hand but shows no visual indicator of what happened, _or_ sometimes the message pops up on top of what i'm doing. both are not ideal. i wish the notification bar was useful somehow. currently it shows the time and 4 old icons from stuff i didn't check, and that doesn't update. normal?

pondering to upgrade from fp5 to fp6:
—the new toggle switch could really work for me because i often have to switch between dnd and normal mode, but on my fp5 android the button is often broken (doesn't react) in quick settings
—now that i have a lot of pictures on the phone, the camera sometimes doesn't save quickly enough so i lose photos or get motion blurry photos. also the camera often overexposes by default, which is supposedly better on the fp6
i don't really have cash at the moment tho

i'm unfortunately not at FOSDEM this year, but:
— [@cas](https://social.treehouse.systems/@cas ) probably has a QCS6490 powered MNT Pocket Reform at the [@postmarketOS](https://social.treehouse.systems/@postmarketOS ) table
— @npub1xse…lgk3 just traveled there all the way from berlin by bus (AFAIK they're mostly there for fediverse stuff, but surely don't mind to chat about MNT related things as well)

currently looks like i want:
- an xmpp server (not sure yet which one, probably prosody?)
- deploy conversejs with a bit of custom design
- conversations on android
- chatsecure on ios?

i'm not convinced by what i've experienced with matrix so far, so currently my top idea is a good XMPP server + customized web app + existing mobile clients + probably some bridges. i wonder how well these things work though:
- image and video upload from mobile
- notifications for mobile
- history sync
- search

meanwhile still scratching my head about where to migrate the company chats to (from self-hosted mattermost, which has become ai infested bloatware with an almost unusably bad and buggy android app and very slow web UI)

2026-01-24 12:42:43 UTC

i'm a laggard of moving from telegram to signal, but motivating people in some small group chats to migrate incl. those groups has been met with much less resistance than i expected :0 a lot of people already have signal anyway, just never mentioned it

Remember "don't print this email" in signatures that was a bit cringe? It doesn't feel that cringe anymore in retrospect. I'm doing an experiment now with this new email signature :D Anyone doing something similar? Could it catch on?

PSA: there's a problem with the `gdm` package (gnome display/login manager) on MNT Pocket/Reform, or on Debian unstable for that matter, please don't upgrade the package right now https://community.mnt.re/t/attention-when-upgrading-only-black-screen-with-cursor-instead-of-gdm/4150

the website says "lab grown neurons". apparently that's a whole thing for a longer time, called neural organoid. it's not exactly the same thing as we have in the head https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_organoid

the MNT Reform Next went through airport security without issue, while the MNT Pocket Reform was checked for explosives
