swayosd, an on-screen display for #sway, was just accepted in #Debian. This allows for easy control of the volume with visual feedback.

Fun bug of the day: A software not working with 1000+ pubkeys in .gnupg and throwing an error. Cleaning out all the keys and it's working all of a sudden.

Nice, @signalapp now supports call links and folders for chats. Especially call links are a feature I'll definitely use.

My heart goes out to the Syrian people today, who are free of a brutal dictator now. I hope a stable gouvernment without any foreign interference will be formed, for a better tomorrow.

Let's hope the future won't have any more wars.

Can anyone point me to resources to learn more about:

• sustainable / openhardware electronics

• "homemade" electronic components (logic gates, resistors, etc.)(CC @North)

Basically if society would end tomorrow, how could we re-build our current technology without making the same mistakes ?

I think about sustainably living with nature in this scenario while also having electric power and e.g. computers.

Please boost for further reach.

It took some time, but the updated glycin-loaders is now available in Debian unstable. Gotta say, #Loupe is really starting to grow on me. Would be grand if some small editing was possible, too.

[#]Debian stuff this week:

Not a lot, but I packaged code-minimap and vim-minimap (renders code as dots in a minimap to the left in vim).

Also packaged tex-fmt (a fast LaTeX formatter written in Rust).

Continued to work on getting rust-time-0.1 removed.

No progress on the debugging from windows. Though now the Debian kernel has the IPU3 and CIO2 modules enabled by default, starting with 6.12~rc.6.

[#]Debian stuff I did the last two weeks:

Got Fragments and Warp accepted into the archive. Finished packaging swayosd and shortwave and uploaded it to NEW. Did a rust-heapless transition (0.7 to 0.8); likewise for rust-image (0.24 to 0.25). Almost finished the glycin-loaders update.

After some more digging it turns out that Intel was lazy. They used a similar camera setup in my device and the Surface device line. However, the voltage to the camera sensor is controlled by a tps68470 IC which can deliver variable voltages. Since the Linux kernel does not know the board (and the correct voltage levels), the camera is without power. Now I need to boot Windows (ugh) and get the correct values from reading the I2C traffic.

Thanks to the helpful libcamera folks I now know that it needs some additional ov* drivers enabled. Also made a MR for that. With those enabled running the cameras should be as simple as installing the v4l2loopback kernel module and executing a launch script. Unfortunately the kernel module did not want to compile with my newer kernel, so I'll wait until this is mainlined. v4l2 --list returns the correct cameras now, so that's progress.

so I finished compiling the kernel. MR enabling the IPU3 and CIO2 modules by default is submitted and pending approval. This is what I like about free software: ones personal itch might just help another person.

Today's level of yak shaving:

Wanted to get the cameras on my Dell Latitude 5290 working. Found out those are also IPU3 based ones. Then wondered why they wouldn't show up at all. Now I am compiling my own Debian kernel to at least see what's missing in terms of functionality.

On the upside I now know how to compile the kernel and will create a patch (soon™) for the IPU3 and CIO2 modules to be enabled by default in #Debian.
