Podcasting with a friend... #plushtodon

If you have any need to interrogate / explore USB devices, this CLI tool is *amazing*. Using it on both macOS and Linux here. Super impressive compared to lsusb etc (and compatible with the same output format if needed) https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/cyme

Very excited to see a #PocketReform mod to add case closed sensor, will have to dig into this after my trip. Ordered the Qwiic components for delivery while I’m out. https://grimmwa.re/blog/html/00017-pocket-reform-lid-detection.html

@liaizon @hongminhee @thisismissem (also asking as I’m on my phone walking right now and can’t search so easily!)

@liaizon @hongminhee @thisismissem I think it may be something long-standing here, is there an existing GitHub issue where I can get more background? I know it’s pretty complicated at this point though.

New blog post: a follow-up to my earlier story about the MNT #PocketReform, with a real-world field test in an actual field (well, pretty close). How else would I choose to spend a holiday Monday? #Blaugust2024 #100DaysToOffload

Today was a mixed bag of $things and $stuff.

@mntmn I received the Sinbon adapter from @kianryan and can confirm it is working well in my Pocket Reform (which is rocking the iMX8MP for the purpose of this testing) - so that's a good option for the MNT store I think. Thanks Kian!

@tj @mntmn @bnys oh! The Fomu is a great shout! I need to try one of them… 👀

@tj @mntmn @bnys can confirm the Fomu is an option -> https://community.mnt.re/t/alternate-pci-e-m-2-ngff-cards/2339/10

Some initial thoughts and experiences with the #MNTPocketReform #Blaugust2024 #100DaysToOffload

@grimmware here’s a few, I did some unboxing video and will try to edit this afternoon. tl;dr it’s real! #PocketReform

@mntmn any update on Pocket Reform shipments (beyond estimates published in the last Crowd Supply post?) 🙂

Exhausted and fed up thanks to the travel chaos today. My fun weekend in Berlin is looking a lot less fun.

@dansup I’m repping my favourite platforms! Might be great to have Pixelfed join a Fediverse devroom next year… 😉

The final #Merchtodon mug has been sold! #FOSDEM @Mastodon

That was fun! I think the @Mastodon table at #FOSDEM was the busiest I’ve experienced at an event for a long time - so great to hear from people that use the platform every day! The team enjoyed the chance to meet you - thanks for coming by! More #Merchtodon tomorrow… #WhoIsJohnMastodon

A phrase I heard and loved when I was in a committee room in the UK Parliament this evening, for an Open Source event - “Open Source is the Right to Repair, for software.” 👏🏻 such a perfect way of describing it, I wish I'd been the one to say it!

What I worked on with Mastodon in 2023.

I like this approach, and hope more organisations adopt it. https://www.xlast.org/
