       she wouldn't know the etymology, but fish probably would.  teaching opportunity both about that specific word and the near-ubiquity of casual racism in ITCC: @prahou@merveilles.town

       @mntmn@mastodon.social do you have any plans to offer a SoM-less Reform Next?

       once I get the rk3588 for my o.g. reform, I was thinking about using the imx8 in the reform-next.  Or leaving the imx8 in the reform for 9front and putting the rk in the reform-next.  Point is I'll have two SoMs and one machine...

       if it does, that's magic, because none of my EMR pens work on the my first-gen pine note

       I use Plan 9 every day, but I'm not a hipster.  I'm not sure what sort of response you're looking for.  The use case is "using a computer"

       I talk to  friends on irc and activitypub, read stuff on the web, send and receive email, play music, read ebooks, watch movies, etc.  Typical computer stuff.I like it because it's simple and consistent -- I do systems administration for a living, so it's a nice break from the overengineered garbage in other operating systems.

       how to boot alpine linux on your mnt reform 2 with the rcore module:- Install alpine in a chroot- packages I installed in my chroot:  http://sciops.net/downloads/rcore-world- Add my repo to /etc/apk/repositories:  http://sciops.net/downloads/alpine/edge/testing/aarch64/- Add my pubkey  to /etc/apk/keys:  http://sciops.net/downloads/khm-6850e797.rsa.pub- apk add linux-rcore- delete the /boot/extlinux directory- put this file in /boot/boot.scr:  http://sciops.net/downloads/rcore-boot.scr- format an sdcard with two partitions: partition number one vfat, partition number two ext4- copy /boot from the chroot to the sdcard's vfat partition- copy everything else to the sdcard's ext4 partition- insert the sd card and turn on the computer- log in as root- run rmmod dwmac_rk; gpioset -c 3 -t 100ms,100ms,0ms 23=1; modprobe dwmac_rk- plug an ethernet cable in the computer if you don't have wifi- install to nvme via setup-alpine- check the resulting /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf- reference:  http://sciops.net/downloads/rcore-extlinux.conf- boot up / rock outTODO:- publish the APKBUILD and config for the kernel package- try out some different kernel versions (lts and stable?)- make a 'reformations' package that does gpioset on boot and contains some useful sway config- fix bugs

       the existing mnt reform doesn't have capacity for two nvme drives.  one of your disks would have to be an sd card or usb drive.  the only firmware blob is the ddr timing blob on the rk3588 core (edit: this is part of the u-boot deploy, not something the OS has to load).  runs debian out of the box.  not all patches are mainlined, but more info at https://reform.debian.net/edit:  I am a full-time mnt reform user, but I run alpine linux on it.the only laptop I have that can run multiple nvme drives in a raid is a dell 7740, which is certified for RHEL 8 and Ubuntu 18.04.  Mine runs OpenBSD.CC: @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org @mntmn@mastodon.social

       I am once again requesting that anyone who has personally witnessed #openbsd boot on an RK3588-equipped MNT Reform laptop come forward
