@kyle we show our age by even knowing what a pager is

Orders a few microcontrollers today to dive into the embedded side of my Rust journey. The more I use Rust the more I like it. Soon I’ll start porting some old atmega328p stuff over to stm32f3 and esp32c3 just because I can.

@kyle and it wears it better than most people I’ve seen in the last year!

@Gina that doesn’t look like bitterballen to me

@silwol my condolences to you and yours.

@kyle this is a big reason I try to do as much as I can with the standard library of whichever language I’m using. Then when I do go to the larger package ecosystem I try to stick to those with minimal dependencies themselves. Doesn’t mean I am always successful, but at least it makes the task of auditing a little less daunting. Releasing everything I do publicly and with a libre license ought to help too.

@Gina I would be super down for that if I wasn’t going to be in Maastricht next Sunday! If you want tacos though this can be arranged.

@Gina they were super yummy

@Gina walk to Delft it’s taco time

@kyle this last one is exactly what I was thinking. Docks are cheap. Work already provides USB-C docks. I could easily stash docks at any location I frequent, and have no need of bringing my Linux laptop everywhere I go if I already have a Linux computer in my pocket. I’ve also got reliable and secure network access to my most powerful resources at home no matter where I am, so even if the Librem 5 lacks the power I can have it trigger actions on stronger hardware.

@kyle when I get mine I will have to post LIBREM 5 IS ALIVE!!!

@Gina honestly last time I was there nobody was wearing them anyway.

@Gina sigh. Back home the governor decided the pandemic is over.

@peppergypsy13 I do not yet have a device running PureOS, so I can’t say what is in their repo. I’m not aware of a reason KeePassXC wouldn’t be in their repo and that’s my go-to for all Linux distros.

@kyle I may be looking forward to this kind of flexibility even more than getting the Librem 14. For work there’s already a need to carry a laptop, but if I can dock my phone and have a real Linux system wherever I go the required laptop can stay on Outlook/SAP/Teams duty while I get work done with the Librem 5.

@Gina eh just be who you are wherever ya wanna be IMO.
