after intensively dealing with linux kernel internals for 3 days i have to say it is a remarkable piece of software, clearly one of the most important pieces of software that exists.

i could see that there could be a “next level” post-unix but it would have to be a totally different paradigm in terms of programming languages used. linux pretty much maxes out the “age of C” IMHO

If you made it this far, thank you! Live posting this felt kind of like having you here with me in while I brewed during lockdown. Also thanks to Grainfather for making my brew day so much simpler and about 2 hours faster!

LPT : forget about the bad news and work on a fun project like @PINE64 #pinetime.

Here's my latest achievement : time synchronization and BLE notification from a Linux computer to the Pinetime.

This is the beginning of a Linux companion app for the Pinetime, yay!

@mntmn If I were you, I would try running PureOS as packaged for the Librem 5 on the reform (I'm not sure how possible this is). To my understanding phosh, is supposed to work in a convergent way so it might be suitable for desktop use. More importantly, they have been doing a bunch of work to reduce power consumption on the same imx8m SOC. So it would be interesting to see what your runtime would be with their modifications on board.

did a first test running Reform 2 from batteries with display on, medium brightness, all cores on, GPU in use by the compositor, low load, mPCIe WiFi active, NVMe SSD active (logging), keyboard backlight enabled, no powersave features in use: 292 minutes until safety switchoff.

so almost 5 hours. i believe this can be optimized with powersave strategies but i think it's quite ok already.

currently turns off if a cell reaches 2.6V. it could go a bit lower, but i don't think for much gain.

I really wanted to skip through songs easily on my #librem5 when carrying it around, so i hacked up a simplistic media player widget for #phosh using the #mpris protocol (wip code, don't try this at home yet)
