Interestingly, BMCs in the Supermicro server are based on ASPEED SoCs.

These SoCs include a USB Device Controller capable of emulating a USB hub via the Linux kernel USB Gadget subsystem. This is the only such controller known to me.

apparently you can get from Plymouth to Wayland in less than 15 hours

#Wayland #inputmethod team GO!

I assembled a team to continue work I started for #mobilelinux with #phosh , #squeekboard and #librem5 .

We're going to finish the mobile side of screen-based input, and also try to properly bring traditional input methods (like for Chinese) to Wayland.

Thanks @nlnet for providing the motivation.

Just two days left until the first hearing Newag's lawsuit against us (Dragon Sector members) and SPS. It will take place on 28.08.2024 at 10:00. In case you've missed it, we're being accused of infringing upon Newag's intellectual property and unfair competition. This is, of course, bullshit and a great example of a SLAPP case.

@fasterthanlime @Kahanis @uint8_t @mntmn @timonsku @dos I really dislike it that when I ask a question I can't easily answer--which is a *really big share* of questions I ask a search engine--an LLM is straight up lying to me, in a way I can only recognize *because I'm already a domain expert* who was in the field since high school

what if I wasn't? what sort of bullshit would I "learn" then?

It just uses a single preset and doesn't let you adjust anything, but it's a start - some photos already glow up a lot with it. The obvious next step would be adjusting parameters in the XMP file; not a rocket science, darktable does everything for us already.

It probably needs to be fully rewritten before adding stuff, but it's just 400 lines of hardcoded UI code in Python, so that could be someone's one-afternoon project 😜

Seems like nobody was reaching for this low-hanging fruit, so I did it myself:

"Glowup" is a quickly hacked up thing that lets you glow your Librem 5 photos up with one click right on the phone, using and about 30 seconds of processing.

There will be #phosh stickers and t-shirts at #FrOSCon. Join us in the mobile dev room (C117).

I've tagged version 0.0.2 of - a client library.

This release focuses on making Matrix support in more robust, simplifying some APIs and improving the documentation (which is now automatically generated at agx.github.io/libcmatrix/)

See source.puri.sm/Librem5/libcmat for the list of changes and contributors.

I got an unexpected mention in the release of Raspberry Pi's RP2350 chip.

Nice to get a mention, but I hope the security is broken, so the amount of unrepairable devices and e-waste can be reduced.

PartLint is now released on git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/partli

Also added a small utility for calculating LCSC basic part resistors :)

Joints seem to be better now, but I didn't mention one thing - no matter how much hot air I blow at it or what I do with soldering iron, I can't seem to be able to get rid of a short between D+/D- on a passthrough port 😭 It's not critical, the important parts are already operational, but it would be nice to get USB 2.0 passthrough working too! I'm assuming it's on the USB-C plug, but it all looks perfectly fine to my eye 😫 I should finally get some proper flux I guess...

Dear distro maintainers and "i build my own stuff" people: In case you want to check out 0.41.0 upfront: we've tagged the first releases candidates of #phosh and related components today. Release is planned 2024-08-15 (gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/p)

Took me 3 days of soldering, but it works!

I can connect it to a Librem 5 and it automatically does all the needed PD stuff to expose its UART over USB-C 😁 It's also capable of a lot of other PD magic as a USB PD analyzer / injector / filter.

However, while these solder joints made a good job lasting till I got the firmware PoC working, it doesn't seem like they're going to last much longer... More soldering ahead 😫
