[2025-08-13T05:06:27Z] <midfavila> you know what i want
[2025-08-13T05:06:46Z] <midfavila> a FOSH clone of one of those old sharp e-notepads
[2025-08-13T05:06:49Z] <midfavila> that are like 5-6"
[2025-08-13T05:06:58Z] <midfavila> and use LCDs or e-paper
[2025-08-13T05:07:18Z] <midfavila> i would never need to worry about carrying pen and paper ever again
[2025-08-13T05:10:16Z] <midfavila> https://enote.neocities.org/
[2025-08-13T05:10:19Z] <midfavila> these things
[2025-08-13T06:00:16Z] <kris_> midfavila: what is fosh
[2025-08-13T06:02:07Z] <midfavila> free and open source hardware
[2025-08-13T15:27:37Z] <midfavila> morning all
[2025-08-13T15:27:38Z] <midfavila> :3
[2025-08-13T15:36:19Z] <kris_> heyo
[2025-08-13T15:38:27Z] <midfavila> makin coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[2025-08-13T19:05:37Z] <dery> hi mid!
[2025-08-13T19:11:06Z] <midfavila> hey hey
[2025-08-13T19:15:24Z] <dery> how's life going
[2025-08-13T19:17:10Z] <midfavila> s'okay
[2025-08-13T19:17:24Z] <midfavila> thinking i might order a soldering iron and etcetera and mod my reform's keyboard 
[2025-08-13T19:17:36Z] <dery> interesting
[2025-08-13T19:17:41Z] <midfavila> has choc browns atm but i would prefer light blues
[2025-08-13T19:17:44Z] <midfavila> you?
[2025-08-13T19:17:45Z] <dery> nowadays soldering irons are super duper cheap
[2025-08-13T19:18:06Z] <midfavila> yeah i was just gonna get a pinecil or w/e
[2025-08-13T19:18:08Z] <dery> stomach's busted (valve's wide open), trying one last therapy and if that does not work surgery
[2025-08-13T19:18:17Z] <midfavila> oh
[2025-08-13T19:18:18Z] <midfavila> . _.
[2025-08-13T19:18:23Z] <midfavila> that sucks man
[2025-08-13T19:18:37Z] <midfavila> i hope things turn out okay
[2025-08-13T19:18:39Z] <dery> this new therapy seems to work though despite eating quite "dirty"
[2025-08-13T19:18:41Z] <dery> ty mid
[2025-08-13T19:18:47Z] <dery> but to better news
[2025-08-13T19:18:59Z] <dery> I think I'm declaring my crazy Wayland embedding experiment as a success
[2025-08-13T19:19:10Z] <dery> it works™ and I just profiled it with great results
[2025-08-13T19:19:30Z] <midfavila> "wayland embedding"?
[2025-08-13T19:19:36Z] <dery> just gotta polish it up and it'll be ready for the next godot release and I'll probably wrap it up into a library
[2025-08-13T19:19:39Z] <dery> oh I thought I talked about it here
[2025-08-13T19:19:57Z] <midfavila> i might have just missed it
[2025-08-13T19:20:10Z] <dery> basically Godot needs something akin to XEmbed, which it implemented for Windows and X11 by warping the child program's window where it needs
[2025-08-13T19:20:19Z] <dery> for previewing the game in the editor
[2025-08-13T19:20:38Z] <dery> and I was like "easy peasy, I'll slap a compositor library in the editor and run the game under that"
[2025-08-13T19:20:42Z] <dery> that was pain
[2025-08-13T19:20:45Z] <dery> so I cut the middle-man
[2025-08-13T19:21:00Z] * midfavila nod-nods
[2025-08-13T19:21:12Z] <dery> and made this huge bet of taking the raw bytestream and "multiplexing" two separate wayland clients in one
[2025-08-13T19:21:33Z] <dery> not even at oftc wayland they were sure if it would work
[2025-08-13T19:22:03Z] <dery> so yea I basically made the Wayland version of XEmbed
[2025-08-13T19:22:12Z] <midfavila> neat
[2025-08-13T19:22:15Z] <dery> and it's basically a novel approach
[2025-08-13T19:22:32Z] <dery> learnt a lot
[2025-08-13T19:22:36Z] <midfavila> gj
[2025-08-13T19:22:37Z] <midfavila> :3
[2025-08-13T19:22:39Z] <dery> ty :333
[2025-08-13T19:23:17Z] <dery> oh also
[2025-08-13T19:23:22Z] <dery> got new laptop cause the old one was falling apart
[2025-08-13T19:23:35Z] <dery> I used it very intensively since for half of its lifetime I didn't have a real smartphone
[2025-08-13T19:23:54Z] <dery> great deal, this thing is awesome
[2025-08-13T19:24:13Z] * midfavila nod-nod-nods
[2025-08-13T19:24:16Z] <midfavila> what model?
[2025-08-13T19:24:22Z] <dery> spent like 530 for Ryzen 7 5825U (8c 16t), 32GBs of ram and 1 tb of ssd 
[2025-08-13T19:24:28Z] <dery> uhh one sec
[2025-08-13T19:24:41Z] <dery> Aspire AG15-42P
[2025-08-13T19:24:47Z] <dery> )thank you /sys/class/dmi)
[2025-08-13T19:25:13Z] <midfavila> that seems decent ye
[2025-08-13T19:25:24Z] <midfavila> how's the keyboard? looks a little uh
[2025-08-13T19:25:25Z] <midfavila> flat
[2025-08-13T19:25:34Z] <dery> yeah...
[2025-08-13T19:25:39Z] <dery> it's definitely a downgrade from the lenovo ones
[2025-08-13T19:25:46Z] <dery> much more... plasticky
[2025-08-13T19:25:50Z] <dery> but it isn't that bad
[2025-08-13T19:25:54Z] <dery> the travel is fine
[2025-08-13T19:25:58Z] <dery> got used to that nowadays
[2025-08-13T19:26:04Z] <midfavila> fair
[2025-08-13T19:26:16Z] <dery> the biggest downside is the goddamn copilot™® button
[2025-08-13T19:26:26Z] <dery> ffs it's not even a scancode
[2025-08-13T19:26:33Z] <dery> it's a stupid ass shortcut hardwired in the FW
[2025-08-13T19:26:38Z] <midfavila> lol
[2025-08-13T19:26:44Z] <dery> I can't remap it to right ctrl anymore :sob:
[2025-08-13T19:26:50Z] <midfavila> you WILL use AI and you WILL enjoy it
[2025-08-13T19:26:53Z] <midfavila> head
[2025-08-13T19:26:55Z] <midfavila> EMPTY
[2025-08-13T19:26:57Z] <midfavila> NO thoughts
[2025-08-13T19:27:01Z] <midfavila> ONLY copilot:tm:
[2025-08-13T19:27:04Z] <dery> cause then shift+copilot would not work
[2025-08-13T19:27:09Z] <dery> it's even a paid feature on windows
[2025-08-13T19:27:22Z] <dery> why do corporations put physical buttons for paid features
[2025-08-13T19:27:31Z] <dery> like the Nintendont Switch 2 C button
[2025-08-13T19:27:43Z] <dery> a year of speculation and it turns out it's just gamechat
[2025-08-13T19:28:12Z] <dery> uhh also usb c is my love
[2025-08-13T19:28:21Z] <dery> it's so complicated and bloated and messy but it just works™
[2025-08-13T19:28:49Z] <dery> my old laptop didn't have it and I resorted to bringing around a weird USB-C PD 20V adapter with me
[2025-08-13T19:29:01Z] <dery> cause USB-C PD powerbank
[2025-08-13T19:31:04Z] <midfavila> i don't *despise* USB-C for power
[2025-08-13T19:31:30Z] <midfavila> the idea of having a unified system for power delivery across all devices is obviously appealing
[2025-08-13T19:31:38Z] <midfavila> but i hate the idea of using it as an everything-connector
[2025-08-13T19:32:36Z] <dery> I mean
[2025-08-13T19:32:40Z] <dery> docking connectors always existed
[2025-08-13T19:32:43Z] <dery> and they were all non-standrd
[2025-08-13T19:33:04Z] <dery> I find it very appealing that I can attach an USB-C dock reasonably anywhere and have every single connections going through one wire
[2025-08-13T19:33:10Z] <midfavila> eh.
[2025-08-13T19:33:35Z] <dery> wait is that the issue
[2025-08-13T19:33:38Z] <dery> like everything through one wire
[2025-08-13T19:34:33Z] <midfavila> kinda? i prefer discrete connections for each like, purpose
[2025-08-13T19:34:51Z] <midfavila> i would rather have a single standard video connector *and* a single standard audio connector than have the same cable handle both
[2025-08-13T19:35:10Z] <dery> oh they aren't mutually exclusive though
[2025-08-13T19:35:21Z] <dery> like I got RJ-45, 3.5mm, and HDMI on my laptop
[2025-08-13T19:35:50Z] <midfavila> yeah but then you have redundancy 
[2025-08-13T19:35:56Z] <dery> doesn't sound bad to me :P
[2025-08-13T19:35:56Z] <midfavila> idk i'm fussy and it's a bit dumb
[2025-08-13T19:36:00Z] <dery> nw
[2025-08-13T19:36:16Z] <dery> talking about redundancy
[2025-08-13T19:36:19Z] <dery> acer did a bruh moment
[2025-08-13T19:36:31Z] <dery> apparently you can (and must be able to thanks to based EU) charge from usb-c
[2025-08-13T19:36:45Z] <dery> but they shipped the usual weird-sized barrel connector with their laptop
[2025-08-13T19:36:59Z] <dery> so now I have two power holes
[2025-08-13T19:37:01Z] <midfavila> what
[2025-08-13T19:37:08Z] <dery> yea
[2025-08-13T19:37:14Z] <dery> guess they're trying to get rid of old stock before it turns useless
[2025-08-13T19:37:36Z] <dery> I'm terribly afraid of knowing what happens if I plug in the weird barrel charger _and_ usb-c
[2025-08-13T19:37:43Z] <midfavila> TWICE THE POWER
[2025-08-13T19:37:48Z] <dery> :sob:
[2025-08-13T19:37:48Z] <midfavila> RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[2025-08-13T19:38:12Z] <dery> lmao
[2025-08-13T19:38:33Z] <dery> btw it's kinda crazy how quickly I setup kiss on this thing
[2025-08-13T19:38:52Z] <dery> I initally wanted to reconfigure the kernel but was too painful and hadn't the time that day so I wasted a whole day doing crap
[2025-08-13T19:39:08Z] <dery> but then I literally took my old laptop config and toggled a few switches and everything just worked™
[2025-08-13T19:39:31Z] <dery> with my old repos in place it just worked
[2025-08-13T19:39:31Z] <midfavila> yeah once you have your basic config worked out it's literally just tweaking one or two hardware options and you're set
[2025-08-13T19:39:37Z] <midfavila> configuring the kernel is really really easy
[2025-08-13T19:39:44Z] <dery> linux is severely underrated under this aspect
[2025-08-13T19:40:02Z] <midfavila> people just fool themselves into thinking it's only for "hackers" or "programmers" or whatever
[2025-08-13T19:40:08Z] <dery> like even just the "native" APIs are actually very sweet, that's why I like making tools for my "DE"
[2025-08-13T19:40:15Z] <dery> sysfs is great
[2025-08-13T19:40:24Z] <dery> boot configuration switches for everything
[2025-08-13T19:40:26Z] <dery> native EFI stub
[2025-08-13T19:40:53Z] <dery> life is good
[2025-08-13T19:41:11Z] <dery> I guess that's also why I like having a "weird" setup
[2025-08-13T19:41:31Z] <dery> really shows the friction points between what's truly linux-the-kernel compatible and what isn't
[2025-08-13T19:42:34Z] <dery> also regarding the "it's noly for hackers" people severely underestimate how many workaround they've internalized for using windows
[2025-08-13T19:43:05Z] <midfavila> yeap
[2025-08-13T19:54:22Z] <midfavila> man
[2025-08-13T19:54:28Z] <midfavila> i'm trying to settle on a frameset for my bicycle
[2025-08-13T19:54:30Z] <midfavila> and like
[2025-08-13T19:54:44Z] <midfavila> there are none that are made how i need them to be
[2025-08-13T19:54:53Z] <midfavila> at least not from this millenium
[2025-08-13T19:55:18Z] <midfavila> i *just* want a steel frame with mounts for stuff that uses horizontal dropouts and has a relaxed geometry 
[2025-08-13T19:56:08Z] <midfavila> should just hire someone smdh
[2025-08-13T20:01:03Z] <dery> time to DIY?
[2025-08-13T20:01:13Z] <dery> I wonder if there are certifications required
[2025-08-13T20:01:30Z] <dery> can somebody just like make a bicycle out of scraps and go around
[2025-08-13T20:01:43Z] <midfavila> yeap
[2025-08-13T20:01:48Z] <dery> holy based
[2025-08-13T20:01:59Z] <midfavila> i mean i volunteer at a place where we literally just do that
[2025-08-13T20:02:09Z] <dery> really the most based personal transportation vehicle
[2025-08-13T20:02:27Z] <dery> what kidn of volunteer place is that?
[2025-08-13T20:02:29Z] <midfavila> people donate old unwanted bikes in various conditions and we tear them down, repair what we can, recycle what we can't, and then build new bicycles before reselling them or giving them away to people in need
[2025-08-13T20:02:32Z] <dery> oh cool
[2025-08-13T20:02:34Z] <midfavila> it's a member's cooperative
[2025-08-13T20:02:35Z] <dery> that was a quick answer :P
[2025-08-13T20:02:47Z] <dery> that's very nice mid
[2025-08-13T20:02:51Z] <midfavila> so everyone there who uses the services also participates in the upkeep of the service
[2025-08-13T20:03:14Z] <midfavila> we actually just got a bunch of grants so we're going to be able to hire some of the regular volunteers and open seven days a week
[2025-08-13T20:03:17Z] <dery> not sure how to express that you do something very cool
[2025-08-13T20:03:22Z] <dery> congrats I think?
[2025-08-13T20:03:26Z] <midfavila> :P
[2025-08-13T20:04:14Z] <midfavila> if i'm lucky i might get a second job there instead of at a local church
[2025-08-13T20:05:29Z] <dery> very nice
[2025-08-13T20:06:35Z] <midfavila> yeab
[2025-08-13T20:07:37Z] <midfavila> there are a few people in montreal who make framesets from scratch actually
[2025-08-13T20:07:39Z] <midfavila> hmm
[2025-08-13T20:08:20Z] <midfavila> if i could get something like a rivendell clem but with fork trackends instead of dropouts that would be pretty sick
[2025-08-13T20:11:01Z] <dery> unfortunately I don't know bike terminology
[2025-08-13T20:11:19Z] <dery> but I'ms sure that it would indeed be :D
[2025-08-13T20:11:41Z] <midfavila> for me it would be but i'm also weird
[2025-08-13T20:11:55Z] <midfavila> dropouts are like, where the axle or equivalent for your wheels clamp onto the frame
[2025-08-13T20:12:11Z] <midfavila> forkends are similar, but they're usually only on track bikes
[2025-08-13T20:12:35Z] <midfavila> i prefer forkends or horizontal dropouts because then you can just reposition the rear wheel to maintain tension on the chain, instead of using a device to do the same
[2025-08-13T20:12:48Z] <midfavila> like a derailleur or something
[2025-08-13T20:12:57Z] <dery> I see
[2025-08-13T20:19:15Z] <midfavila> but yeah idk i kind of approach bikes like i do computers. i.e. with a seething disdain for trendy shit
[2025-08-13T20:19:23Z] <midfavila> esp. here, the only bikes you can really find are sport bikes
[2025-08-13T20:19:37Z] <midfavila> and they always have stupid parts that make the bike useless as anything other than a toy
[2025-08-13T20:19:52Z] <midfavila> and they're insanely expensive, too
[2025-08-13T20:20:00Z] <midfavila> not to mention unreliable 
[2025-08-13T20:20:51Z] <midfavila> i don't want hydraulic brakes, i don't want electronic shifting, i don't want pedals that require i wear special friggin shoes, i don't want to contort myself to sit on the bike, and i don't want it to be made out of gd carbon fibre
[2025-08-13T20:20:55Z] <midfavila> >:c
[2025-08-13T20:25:24Z] <midfavila> oh huh go figure. some framebuilders will retrofit forkends.
