about dual head, does it work without wayland? could it be related to a specific boot kerbel option? I remember I had some problems to get display detected right and was solved adding a boot option (on the pine64)
<beerman>
i dont have xorg installed so no idea
<beerman>
there is no way of me going back to xorg, that stuffs old cruft
<pitillo>
jajajajajajaa

pitillo: how shall we go about llvm updates? i can try to keep generating prs but with romster being away and me filling up for him i dunno with how much intensity i can keep up with crux arm on the long run
<beerman>
and rust and clang and the likes
<beerman>
of course
<beerman>
wrt rust: footprint didn't change, you can just merge this one. the prs I send are build in the lxc container from a clean slate for good measures, so hopefully they should be fine for everybody crazy enough to build it 😄
<jaeger>
The second cheap GPS module worked perfectly, kinda cool
<jaeger>
Going to see if I can get the first one replaced
<beerman>
heh, so you are basically telling me "what are you waiting for"?
<jaeger>
Me? No, just commenting
<beerman>
and to answer the question (anyway): i dunno
<beerman>
😄
<beerman>
i imagine its not that hard to setup and configure as a source for chrony and the likes?
<jaeger>
Not at all
<jaeger>
I can share the config if you like
<beerman>
yeah sure, i'd take a look
<beerman>
glancing over the market, i see a low price range(~9€), more of a middle price range (~15€) and a higher one (~40€). what did you buy? did you look up if there are any differences for the use case?
<beerman>
i guess a satelite lock is all thats really needed?
<beerman>
so any would do?
<jaeger>
A few satellites to make sure, I guess... but yeah
<jaeger>
According to the host it's some u-blox thing underneath which seems to be popular/have good reviews
<beerman>
i like the external antenna so you might just get a longer cable and tuck it in somewhere
<beerman>
would you say the pi1 would suffice? then I could give this one a job, finally
<jaeger>
Yeah, I was thinking about doing that as well. With that said, it's in my office, not outside, and seems to have no trouble so far.
<jaeger>
I'm guessing it would, this doesn't seem to be very heavy
<jaeger>
I could test it on my pi zero at some point
<beerman>
no worries. it says it would arrive next week
<beerman>
i waited a while since i read about it the first time i can wait another week 😄
<beerman>
if not, i can still attach to one of the pi 4s and call it a day
<beerman>
i don't really expect any problems either, it would be the only job for the pi so far
<beerman>
i am not having many ideas for that one
<jaeger>
Yeah, I know the feeling
<jaeger>
I was using this pi2 as an airprint server for my mom's printer but she bought a new printer that has bonjour/airprint builtin
<beerman>
the most useful thing i have done with it was to use the gpio pins to connect to an old linksys routers bootloader (because i bricked the firmware, lol)
<jaeger>
Nice, heh
<beerman>
ah, i have that one connected to my NAS, but i barely print.
<beerman>
most of the time i wished i would throw that printer away but sometimes....
<jaeger>
I haven't owned a printer in years, myself... and I'm happier for it :P
<beerman>
we both know that when the time comes when i'll need to print something the color tubes or nozles or whatever will be blocked anyway
<jaeger>
Yeah, that's an ongoing problem if you only print sporadically
<jaeger>
At least with inkjets... maybe less so with laser printers?
<beerman>
nobody buys a laser printer to be used at home, and even those can develop problems while not in use
<jaeger>
My last was a laser printer and the one my mom just bought is as well
<beerman>
less, but still can happen (i owned one little laser printer once)
<jaeger>
Definitely see plenty of them for home use around here
<beerman>
its not like i am looking but i always get the feeling that you pay premium for laser printers over here
<jaeger>
It's not an enterprise product for what that's worth
<beerman>
you know, the next printer i'll buy will have duplex scanning
<beerman>
if i'd be able to digitalize all my mail i have to keep (insurance, taxes, whatever) and burn the physical copy... this would make me so happy
<jaeger>
yeah
<beerman>
wrt printing: we are allowed to use the printer at work, so... I can plot things?
<beerman>
but all the times i wanted to print something at home it was like at the weekends. spontanously bought a ticket for X (concert, train, ..)
<beerman>
printers suck, as well as physical mail. oh well. i begin to see a pattern
