things are going just great for raspberry pi:

- the only distro that ships the drivers for my display is raspberry pi os so fuck it, terrible it is
- I dd it to the microsd card
- I can’t kvm to the pi4 cause nothing uses microhdmi so I don’t have an adapter
- there’s no way to configure networking and SSH without imager cause all methods were removed in favor of fucking Canonicial cloud-init of all things, which they haven’t actually implemented
- my nixpkgs has a broken rpi imager

holy fucking shit maybe it should go without saying that I’m not asking for help and I’m especially not asking for help based on something you got from fucking ChatGPT

raspberry pi community are you ok?

@zzt Did you try a rubber band? Alternately maybe you should re-mill whatever it is out of a cube of titanium?

@jwz I’m fucking amazed I haven’t gotten “why didn’t you simply write open source drivers for the LCD” yet

(this project has already turned into future patches for qemu, somehow. it’s a nightstand computer inside one of those clocks shaped like a Mac 128k)
