spent the last few days building a couple too many packages - main is basically built, community is halfway done, testing is TODO, but we're getting there

Sooo I now have a Gentoo install for powerpc64 (big-endian) with LLVM + musl + systemd. It works fine, but systemd segfaults if built in release profile. Time to investigate, I guess.

this is your every-once-in-a-while reminder that rms is on the FSF board of directors again since 2021 :3

uh oh my touch driver works, this is a bad sign

it works way too well for 500 lines of code

masterpiece

300 @postmarketOS stickers have made their way to @cccac from FrOSCon! Hopefully they'll last a while :D

TIL: Ever wanted to compress data or use cryptographic algorithms but you don't want to link to link to C libraries or you're just plain lazy?

The Linux kernel has you covered! Create a socket of type AF_ALG, bind to your favorite algorithm, send() in your data and recv() it back!

This seems to support deflate, SHA, RSA and some more on ppc64le and additionally even zstd, chacha, lzo, hmac and more on ARM!

I aspire to have the quality control that Linus Torvalds has. I'd never have bothered comparing some commit hashes to notice that history was silently rewritten, damn. (And yes, I know this was a b4 bug in the end, still crazy that he noticed it)

I've been slacking recently but I should get back to finishing up WCD. I'm just so easily distracted >.<

oh and I've also been noticing that apparently Xiaomi ships up to 2^3 different configurations of the same device (2 panels, 2 chargers, 2 touchscreens) AAAAAAAAAAAAA

sooo our sm7150-mainline kernel (and therefore also U-Boot) currently supports:
- Xiaomi Mi 9T / Redmi K20
- Xiaomi POCO X3 NFC
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro
- Xiaomi Mi Note 10
- Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite
- Google Pixel 4a

and will soon also support:
- Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 4G
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G
- Samsung Galaxy A71
- Samsung Galaxy A80

not gonna lie, seeing people take this and adapt it to their own devices makes me so happy :3

@linmob that's a davinci but here's google-sunfish if you prefer cutouts ^^

@linmob they don't make 'em like they used to... popup cameras were amazing (and prone to mechanical failure, but I liked them - davinci looks soooo good)

blood, sweat and tears but it works! Finally I can boot my phone from a USB stick

dinit lifehack for debugging extremely early services: logfile = /dev/tty0

on that note, here's some more Chimera Mobile progress

went to IKEA today

I need this sticker

@strm @fossdd @Logical_Error @z3ntu @newbyte @lanodan @cas @pabloyoyoista @valpackett agreed, a public forum for these things is more suitable than matrix chats. I'll set up a discourse instance on mainlining.org tomorrow - let's give it a try :)
