Going to #fosdem and interested in #phosh? @devrtz will give a talk on Saturday 16:30 in the FOSS on Mobile devroom (UB4.132) and there'll be devices running Phosh in UD1 at the #linuxonmobile and @postmarketOS booths.

#mastodon advice:
subscribe to hashtags!
I now have a dedicated, temporary FOSDEM column.
Search for #fosdem , click the little arrows on top, add "pin".
Works with the advanced interface.

And then I'm taking a holiday (meaning working on unpaid project that piled up :D Anyone want to watch a live stream of failing to #repair a #camera […]

FOSDEM 2026 - Rust meets cheap bare-metal RISC-V

arrived at Brussels with #hackertrain ! Only about 2 hours late rather than 3.
Relatively, this adventure was only annoying compared to some other ones.

#fosdem get ready for me!

A port on #localhost open only to one process. Can #linux #network namespaces help me?

Let's find out.

The idea is to MitM between my IMAP server and Claws Mail. The proxy would ignore the password and instead use #tls with a client #certificate to authenticate me (mTLS style).

This way […]

Why the heck do I have blocked people on my account? I'm pretty sure I never blocked anyone.

#mastodon can be really paternalistic sometimes. I don't want to be protected according to someone else's preferences.

/me unblocks and unmutes 145 people

Honestly, how the hell am I supposed to know […]

Is anyone using a #mft #camera here?

How sharp is the LUMIX 12-60mm lens at full zoom?
I couldn't find any RAW files online :/

I'm not sure if 12-60 is enough or I should get the heavier, more expensive 14-140mm.

For comparison, this is a minilally processed #raw file from my previous camera […]

I never thought I would miss a #touchscreen on my #laptop .

My travel #computer is a #tablet . When I come back home, I often want to switch tabs or press "OK" or some other mundane thing, without doing the keyboard shortcut. But my main laptop doesn't have a #touch screen!

It's not a big […]

Anyone coming to #fosdem with a Thinkpad X250 or X260?
I'd like to do some nondestructive research for #touchpad reasons.

Thank you #fosdem Graphics track organizers for accepting my proposal! I'm excited to tell where I (re-)took this #wayland project I started back in 2018!

Curse you FOSDEM organizers for accepting my proposal! Now I […]

Is anyone here using #slint ?
I want to have a huge, table, with lazy loading. Basically, I don't want to allocate all the strings on every new model, but only when the item comes into view.
Right now, I pre-allocate all the rows, including empty strings, and fill them in with data when they […]

#snow isn't slippery to #bike on! Ice is.
That's what I said in December. Also that thawing and freezing makes roads slippery.
Turns out I forgot an important fact: cars.

#cars make roads slippery and #cycling dangerous.
They compress snow, which turns into white or transparent ice. Their […]

@maxipalle Und vielleicht abschliessend ein Kommentar:

Ja, so wird das nix mit fahrradfreundlicher Infrastruktur, liebe Bahngesellschaften. Als normalsterbliche Person sollte man diese Infos direkt im Buchungsprozess bekommen. Noch besser, es gäbe nicht diese unterschiedlichen Startzeiträume […]

#weather situation today:

I want to get rid of 50Hz buzzing on my long #audio cable.

I'm having trouble finding a cheap fiber optic solution.

Is there any standard where I could get/build a cheap optical transceiver to drive with analog signal?

I angeled for 26 hours over #39c3 . No wonder I was constantly hungry, sleepy, and running :P

#dect/GSM fail: I assumed my number carried over from last year and was wondering why I was so uninteresting no one called :P

I missed the #39c3 @PrototypeFund and @nlnet meetups :(
Do you all hang out somewhere to have a quick chat?
December 30, 2025 at 12:53 AM
There's a #pinball at #39c3 ! Thanks to whoever brought it!
I got an extra ball so that's enough playing :) I don't get the thing with the planets though. The multiball mechanism is simple enough.

I bought a #computer with the intention to #repair last year.
I can't repair it.

Good side: I could buy a working one using just the money I'd get from selling the #ram it came with.

Bad side: then I wouldn't have any RAM to put inside it :P

The #39c3 #interslavic meetup was a huge hit, so there may be a second one coming on day 3 or 4. With fun and games!
Watch this space.

I hung up the printer used by @c3loc :(

So the building maps weren't ready today at #39c3. Perhaps tomorrow!

@c3sign could you ping me when your A3 printer is available :P?

Day one of #39c3 and I already blew half of my budget on #soldering workshops :P
