Thanks for joining this weekend for #BoilingTheOcean, it was so much fun!
There was too much going on for me to have an overview/be able to recap, but some of my highlights:
- More Aardvark testing 🐼
- More GNOME OS/TPM debugging, feat. @pid_eins and @swick
- MNT Pocket Reform GNOME integration with @liaizon
Thanks @davedarko and @ljrk for hosting us @xHain_hackspace ✨
Today is day two of #BoilingTheOcean 5! Yesterday we were at @101lab in Kreuzberg, hacking on (among other things):
- Tested Aardvark and fixed some p2panda bugs
- Tested GNOME OS on real hardware
- Played with systemd TPM tooling
- Designed a network inspector dev tool for p2panda apps
- Experiments towards a new/modernized Waydroid
- pmbootstrap cleanup
- And more!
Today we're at X-Hain in Friedrichshain! Join us: https://pad.gnome.org/enwydsh2RO2Dv4oOXBz4CQ
@irgendwienet Hacking at #BoilingTheOcean and I'm uncovering more abysses than I was prepared to look into... :'(
I actually only planned to adapt https://github.com/leifliddy/asahi-fedora-usb to build ParticleOS but u-boot didn't implement the quirk to boot from the USB drive we had. So we instead emulated a mass storage device on a postmarketOS phone but the person with the phone has left us (looking at u @cas !!).
Now I'm instead looking at re-creating the Yocto build for the Remarkable 2 (possibly building postmarketOS for it) and it's friggin' failing to extract the SDK's tar.xz because of this.
Oh, and in-between macOS didn't allow me to log-in because I set my password in my user's account with the keyboard layout I am using... which macOS doesn't expose in the login screen meaning I cannot enter certain characters I need *cough*.
Uhhh, and yeah, I also ran into this bug https://github.com/AsahiLinux/asahi-installer/pull/335 because while it is fixed upstream for 3 months now, there's not been a proper release.
I think I had to fix some more bugs on the way but I forgot. I do have a knack for triggering the oddest edge-cases, I know :'D
today is another rendition of @tbernard 's wonderful #BoilingTheOcean hackathon in #Berlin ! (and i'm finally back in town at the same time it's happening)
there will be a lot of local-first peer to peer related work, systemd/mkosi topics, and hopefully some #postmarketOS stuff too
i'll be hacking on pmbootstrap unshare support (removing the need for root access to use pmb), and maybe looking into pmb/mkosi integration (building on the mkosi support for pmOS that @craftyguy has been working on the last few days)
totally forgot to post about this before but if you're in town and wanna stop by do come along, details are here
Boiling The Ocean No 5 is taking place this weekend (24.-25.05.) in Berlin!
