Maybe it's just me but I think #RaspberryPi OS #trixie with #Wayland is great improvement for older models like Pi 3. Using e.g. Mastodon w/Firefox just works.
A cool #hack for the official 7" touchscreen: fix xterm font to 12 pt and set Wayland scaling to 0.993. Then entering full screen mode, you get just exactly 80x25 terminal.
Also got the 1-button mouse usable with Wayland. Instead of GUI hacks, I just created udev/hwdb rule to emit right clicks with kbd.
Bigger DDR3 RAM memory is difficult to find these days for my "Cuban car" style PCs.
I found some DDR3 8GB chips from Ebay and got Crucial 1.35V chips. Alas, they didn't work on the machine I wanted (MSI 760GA-P43 motherboard). But however, they work just fine on other machine (HP 8300) from same era. I wonder why?
But the purchase wasn't total waste of money as my kernel build machine got now a nice 8GB -> 32 GB upgrade. Meanwhile my AI machine still struggles with 16 GB.
I took a lid from jewel box that matched the oak frame dimensions to complete the casing. It's a wooden tablet! Also downgraded to #RaspberryPi Zero 2 W so plenty of room inside. Still, a full-blown #ARM64 #Linux.
It will run dashboard w/#GNU Screen or Lynx etc. to show e.g. #teletext spotprices, weather etc. or random #ANSIart.

Prototyping display mechanics for my never-ending concept #VT102 terminal project. Oak frame with real glass cost 7 e from the local shop. The passepartout is a bit rough, but it's the best I could do before getting some sharper knives. Maybe I could replace it with a veneer sheet.
I pushed out a minor patch to my DiskSumo fork, just to remind myself how the program works and verifying my C64 and 1541 hardware are still OK.
Next goal for me is to rewrite the bottleneck routines in machine code in the following order:
- RS232 character reception polling loop.
- Xmodem packet reception loop & checksum calculation.
- Xmodem packet sending loop.
- Disk sector writes and reads?

When upgrading to #Mastodon v4.4.5, assets recompilation took over 3 hours on 1 GB #RaspberryPi 3, once finally succeeded. The system failed twice at around 90 minutes for whatever reason and required a power cycle (it's headless and couldn't get any logs). I ended up replacing the SD card just in case...
I wonder if I should start to do the "assets:precompile" step on my X86 box and arm64 Cortex-A53 QEMU then just copy stuff to Pi.
Sunday well spent.
Finally migrated away from UEVENT_HELPER to netlink-based solution on my #Linux boards.
"... should not be used today, because usual systems create many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup."
That text was from 2010 but it took till 2025 until my 32 MB #ARM systems failed.
a kind internet friend i've just made recently have made this smol website for me, a typosquatted to my main domain name and i love it.
https://nigalee.dev as my domain is nghialele.dev π i had a good laugh at it, and bro just hand over the sourcecode & domain so now i host on my vm.
fun things, cool people, lovely community!
