My #68k home brew computer is coming along nicely. I’ve decided on 512Kx16 ROM and 1Mx16 RAM, and just a 68K-era 68C681 serial chip for I/O for now. I might hook up a parallel port and the FPGA VGA interface I’m working on later. I’ve started hooking up the serial chip and preparing placements for bus buffers and transceivers. 555-based power-on reset circuit is set as well.

There is something really calming about carefully measuring and weaving hookups on the #breadboard.

This is a #librem5 and a #pinephonepro without any hardware specific code

This took a lot of work

"As it is, the Fedora lot think Ubuntu is junk, and the Debianisti think everything else is junk, and the Arch folk think they are the true cutting edge, Slackware enthusiasts consider everyone else newbies, while the NixOS folk think all the rest are still in the stone age somewhere"

What an article by @lproven on @theregister. Had a good time reading it 😂

Olá mundo! Conseguem ouvir?

#ArchLinux / #danctnix now ships #Linux #megi 6.4 which has all #PinePhonePro patches for correct camera rotation and location (front/back - used for automatic mirroring in some apps and better camera naming).

This is a great step for having a good camera experience out of the box - the only thing still missing is #wireplumber being installed by default (see https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/issues/537)

After that, one can e.g. install #gnomesnaphot or @dino from #Flathub and it should just work.

#LinuxMobile

Banksy nails it

The good thing with people like @rmader constantly praising the work of @pipewire and @libcamera devs, is that you end up looking at upstream (or at least, actually submitted) kernel patches and make sure camera support for your device gets more future-proof.

In the end, it's very likely @mobian will soon ship a 6.4 kernel for the #PinePhonePro where (almost) all camera-related patches have been submitted upstream already :)
