Notices by minute (mntmn@mastodon.social)

even if i'd like to meet certain people like @cwebber or @cas i don't think i have the mental capacity to subject myself to FOSDEM this year. i'm still in a grief process (since nov 2024) and i don't have enough quality me-time due to the pressure at work as it is, so i should focus on getting rest and avoid sensory taxing environments (of which FOSDEM is an extreme example) still for a while.

@jason maybe 2 months? could be delayed by EMI testing. but the module will be available separately.

@istar here is a list of changes https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform/-/merge_requests/74

@dartov both!

@josch in general

meanwhile (after finishing some polishing on the MNT Reform Next enclosure) Ana is also working on finishing the standalone case design for this motherboard so you can use it as a server/NAS/desktop etc.

i finally finished validation of MNT Reform (Classic) motherboard 3.0 and fixed the little bugs i found and reworked the USB-UART's power supply for a final revision (3.0 D-2). i just ordered some PCB samples of this board that we should have end of next week. then i'll feel confident to produce a 100x batch which will unblock the MNT Reform backorders from last year. thank you for your enormous patience and sorry this took so long to get right.

@jason the drawback about wwan is true but there will be a special wifi/bt module later for the rk3588 that will free up the wwan slot again.

@jason yeah it's maybe 4-5x as fast

@tomjennings very fitting!

@socketwench i think it does

@cryptix type some words into me!

Ted: What was your life like before?
Gas: Before?
Ted: Before it was changed by Allegra Geller.
