if anyone had a second hand ampere altra system collecting dust that i could buy or borrow for some tests, that would be great tbh

yes, air travel is very bad and so on, but i wanted to show you this pic of @holo_memory and my MNT Pocket Reforms on a plane anyway (from a few days ago)

i just got our lost luggage back and my mnt reform is still fine and has 67% battery left :D (it was shipped around various airport logistics for a week)

i'm back from vacay and at MNT to catch up on lots of stuff! also started to process everything and one thing that pops into my mind is how we had 2 pocket reforms as our only computers (except android phones) and thinking about how to get them from "it mostly works" to a "delightful" shape […]

remember our luggage that we lost on monday? it showed up again and is supposed to be delivered to my home tomorrow 👀 well it was an interesting adventure to travel while having to replace all the basics. all in all this was a very nice and fun vacation and my biggest dose of spain so far […]

Amazing interview with the one and only @planet4589, the man who knows where everything is in near-earth space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKXrFaE0wKY

hey madrid is really nice :3 also we just had very good vegan shavarma

some first times in this vacation so far: —misled and delayed by BER people, missed the flight to madrid —lost the luggage (incl MNT Reform) —went anyway with another flight —went to barcelona only for 2 hours —slept in a hotel inside barcelona airport —had to buy most clothes etc from scratch […]

@jacqueline feature request: tangara companion linux arm64 build 🥺

i want to make feierabend and go home but ruby code takes so long to execute ;__;

upgraded MNT shop to fix a long-standing bug that could leave invisible items in the cart after logging into an account that had "kit products" in it (complex products with multiple sub-products/options), and now running some maintainance scripts

mnt reform motherboard 3.0 d-2 picked and placed today by @theawesomerandomness. now we just have to add a few connectors

currently plotting the ramp-up of voltage input to pocket reform's charger board as produced by different brands of usb-c chargers. one could recognize them all by their different signatures :D

wenn eins selbst hosted kriegt eins ganz andere feelings für storage + bandwidth sachen, die eins sonst so für granted taked (bei commercial cloud stuff)

before i import docker-ce repos on my debian (testing) server, just a check: should there be a way to install the docker compose plugin on debian on top of the docker.io package? my end goal is to install "immich".

what's the best camera app for the fairphone 5 with stock android with the most control over the image?

OK it's a wrap! the MNT Reform Next crowdfunding campaign is _done_! this was such a wild ride, and honestly more successful than i imagined. i greatly appreciate the trust you put in my team and me. i'm looking forward to get this computer ready for production and ultimately into your hands!

42 minutes left :0

500% funded wat :0

somewhat lethargic post: how's matrix (the chat infra) going these days? i/we are looking for alternatives to telegram (for obv. reasons) and signal, which is almost ok but suffers (at least for me) from loss of history when migrating devices/installs and diversity of clients, i.e. still no […]

sorry for being a broken record, but tomorrow i'll stop posting about this: only 11 hours to goooo (for getting in early on our MNT Reform Next open hardware laptop) https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next

"immer ärger mit micro-usb" der neue roman

only 23 hours left to back our open hardware laptop MNT Reform Next https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next

extremely normal code

only two days left for getting in early on the MNT Reform Next open hardware laptop: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next

i have a customer pocket reform here for warranty inspection and the customer had applied a matte film to the display... that's pretty cool actually

Super tired me and still fresh MNT Reform Next laptop had a great time at #fosdem2025 💜

The MNT Reform Next prototype is having a blast at #fosdem2025 today visiting open source friends at @genode @kicad @FreeCAD @nlnet and more!

We had a short Reform gathering at @genode booth

only 5 days left in our crowdfunding campaign for the MNT Reform Next open source hardware laptop https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next also, if you are at #fosdem #fosdem2025 in brussels today you can see it live at the @nlnet booth with my colleague @theawesomerandomness

ok somehow packagekit-offline-update.service got installed and it's blocking boot since 16 mins installing tons of packages, that's terrible UX...

I will bring Reform Next with me to Bytenight, so if you see someone with long purple hair and this bag, you can ask questions and see the laptop ☺️

Day 1 of FOSDEM is coming to a close, thanks for the warm welcome @nlnet and everyone who's coming to check out MNT Reform Next. any recommendations before going to #Bytenight at @HSBXL ? #fosdem2025

the MNT Reform Next prototype has arrived with @theawesomerandomness at FOSDEM #fosdem2025 check it out at @nlnet booth https://mastodon.social/@theawesomerandomness/113929567451528303

Reform Next is hanging out with NLNET. Building K, 2nd floor! #fosdem

FYI #fosdem my colleague @theawesomerandomness will only be in later today, but earlier tomorrow, because of delays at brussels airport. in case you're wondering where to see the MNT Reform Next prototype. cc @nlnet @linmob

Looking forward to my first #fosdem !
