A hint of my new portable "full workstation" computing setup featuring the MNT Pocket Reform. First the glowy pic!
All this packs up and fits in the front pouch of my backpack.

We’re back from holiday break and kicking things off with a banger!
uhm, did you know that waypipe with ssh is fast enough to use blender remotely over wi-fi? what? this works much better/faster than x11 forwarding ever did
the lineup of new MNT open hardware computer prototypes for #39c3 so far (plus a bunch more well-known things)
mnt touch reform (placeholder name) prototype which 
@theawesomerandomness put all her craft into making a reality that actually feels much nicer than it is allowed to feel (mostly pocket reform internals, and she designed the case in freecad and 3d printed and hand sculpted here. i wired up the touch overlay and hand made a button board for the side buttons).
@theawesomerandomness forgot to show the back! it has a rhombus aluminum heatsink and a little speaker grille!
going to the interweb on the mnt touch reform low-fi prototype
After using my aluminium backplate for quite a while, I was curious whether copper would lower the temps of my MNT Pocket Reform further (It does by ~ 3°C). 
@fesixFelix and I also etched the artwork I used on the other plate into it again. That was quite a bit of work since the photoresist was not good. Next up: tempering tests to change the copper’s color and give it a more industrial look.
If you want to take a closer look and you’re at #39c3, feel free to hit me up!
MTV died. All the cool, unique artists like off “120 minutes” are now fighting the blandest algorithms imaginable.
We wanted a place to watch weird stuff you can’t see on mainstream channels. So….
Fedi MTV goes live in ONE HOUR.
Hacking some flags into /dev/hidraw0 for my 
@mntmnminute pocket reform on the train back home from #39c3
earlier today i did a bunch of qualcomm (qcs8550) bringup/debugging at home.
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Btw. what are considerations of the supreme royal Spritely Institute (tm, pending) for doing things like a distributed video?
Like Peertube something something?

I caught up on some podcasts during a long walk today. 
@joshbressers chatting with 
@cadeyXe 
is my favorite of the day. I already understood anubis, but thinking about as a sort of WAF is a very interesting idea that hadn't occurred to me. It was also just a tremendously fun listen and touched some important ideas about FOSS sustainability. Josh does an amazing job of keeping every podcast he makes short and focused, even when you can tell he could've happily make the interview 3x as long and covered 4x as many topics.
Odin is spending his first night without us – he's staying with my husband's parents because there's going to be cleaning chemicals in here tomorrow and the cleaning people insisted that any pet be gone for 24 hours for their own safety.
And I am so worried 😭 my poor tiny baby 😭 okay mainly I'm worried because he's bigger and stronger than the people trying to care for him without me
"French lawmakers are preparing a renewed push to limit children’s online exposure, unveiling a proposal that would block anyone under 15 from using social media platforms.
The draft legislation, reviewed by AFP, sets September 2026 as the target date for enforcement.
President Emmanuel Macron has endorsed the plan and urged Parliament to take it up.
France’s effort follows a similar move in Australia, which recently became the first country to impose an outright ban on under-16s accessing social media.
To apply such a rule, online platforms would need to verify every user’s age at sign-up or login. This would go far beyond the current model of self-declared birthdays and instead rely on official credentials such as national IDs, driver’s licenses, or government-backed digital identity wallets.
In effect, it would introduce a form of digital ID into everyday internet use."

Finally! Europe has a politician with a spine:
Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez is a signatory to the strong criticism of Trump’s illegal intervention in Venezuela, and stressing that Trump taking over Venezuelas natural resources is incompatible with international law.

- Switched my daily driver machine to the Pocket Reform
- Got a weird new keyboard and monitor setup to go with it
- Trying to run Guix on top of Debian because things aren't really ready to run Guix on top of the Pocket (or I haven't figured out how to yet)
- Guix in general is pretty far behind on ARM in terms of available packages
- Forced to finally switch to Wayland to make all this work
- Some things only work in GNOME
- Some things only work in Sway

Want to use sed(1) to edit a file in place? Well, to replace every 'e' with
an 'o', in a file named 'foo', you can do:
sed -i.bak s/e/o/g foo
And you'll get a backup of the original in a file named 'foo.bak', but if you
want no backup:
sed -i '' s/e/o/g foo

In the light of me looking for an alternative to plasma6 some more tweaking of lxqt. It's slowly getting there... Panel on the left, some pinned apps, icon only taskmanager, systray, using Qogir icons and XFWM4 for windowmanaging and with elementary theme for xfwm4, gtk and gtk-qt5/6, (forgot how cool it looked). The wallpaper is by 
@orbiteOrbite / OrbiteLambda and is called "oiseau d'hiver".
The left panel with the pinned program launches and the bottom with the virtual desktop switcher are set to intellihide to get out of the way if windows get maximized
Will see if I can get DockbarX lxqt plugin to work on FreeBSD for a real dockapp handling. It doesn't seem to be in pkgs.
Now, I just have to remember what I did on this spare machine to transfer it on to my other machines...🤷♀️
oh my, it's only the 5th day of the new year. i'm already exhausted.
