My Harbor Freight price check script announcement (I made today) is top thread on r/harborfreight now :)
<stipa>
TRS-80: you're famous
<TRS-80>
not hardly
<TRS-80>
22 upboats
<TRS-80>
but not bad, either :)
<stipa>
not at all
<TRS-80>
oh it was 30, I refresh and now 29; I gues stipa give me downvote :D
<TRS-80>
maybe I have anonymous hater in here or elsewhere 8)
<stipa>
not me
<TRS-80>
I keed, I keed :)
<stipa>
i keed too
<stipa>
well, haters are a good thing, you're doing your job well
<TRS-80>
dealwithit_ani.gif
<stipa>
they must be afraid of you for some reason
<TRS-80>
who knows
<TRS-80>
Reddit is mostly cancer, but some of more tecnical fora are not as bad as the rest
<TRS-80>
I only hang out on harborfreight, ikea, emacs, etc.
<stipa>
reddit is crap
<stipa>
all crap of the internet at one place
<stipa>
but it's popular
<TRS-80>
yep
<stipa>
great place to promote a script
<TRS-80>
yeah I don't know where else to
<TRS-80>
in that case
<TRS-80>
My Emacs stuff I can announce on mailing list
<stipa>
it's a great place
<stipa>
for promotion
<stipa>
bunch of people from various industries use it
<stipa>
there's no need for middlemen
<stipa>
you are in direct contact with costumers
<TRS-80>
well, Reddit is itself, a middle man.... however much less onerous in many ways than some of others...
<stipa>
even though it's not visible at first but tha's actually happening
<stipa>
it is miidleman but i would say the're only interested in ad revenue
<TRS-80>
but removing of middle men is why I chose sr.ht as a forge, to help promote the original (decentralized) way of using git, which is via mailing list and patches...
<TRS-80>
truly, no middle man is needed in that case (well, running a mailserver, but that can be switched...
<TRS-80>
but I like/trust Drew and what he is trying to do over there, so I am happy to throw him few bucks for that
<TRS-80>
that way, no ads, no ulterior motives... his motive is to serve his paying customers... the old fashioned way... :)
<TRS-80>
no spyware, no "ad tech", no JavaScript, etc...
<stipa>
soo, what do you think people don't want to use that system?
<stipa>
why people*
<TRS-80>
I think most people do things either: 1. because they are "easier" and/or 2: because "everyone else is"
<stipa>
popularity
<TRS-80>
it's not that they don't, it's just that GitHub made it so easy to do it another way, and also "everyone" is there now
<TRS-80>
yes, I would say more accurately "network effect"
<stipa>
right, makes sense
<stipa>
you told it all
<TRS-80>
however it is becoming greatly concerning to me and many other people how centralized GitHub has become
<stipa>
i guess more advanced coders would use the more efficent way
<TRS-80>
look what happened to youtube-dl recently, for instance
<stipa>
what?
<TRS-80>
their GitHub just disappeared one day
<stipa>
downtime?
<TRS-80>
DMCA takedown
<TRS-80>
they are back up now, but still...
<stipa>
oh, didn't hear that
<TRS-80>
oh yeah it was big news; hang on I save a screenshot ;)
<stipa>
yeah, they're training everyone to say them who's the boss
<TRS-80>
but that is usually the case and one of main criticisms of DMCA takedowns are they are far too powerful and often abused
<TRS-80>
Meanwhile YouTube are the worlds largest free music streaming service, but that's fine... It's all so tiresome..
<stipa>
it is
<stipa>
there are no laws and govrenments are lazy to make them
<TRS-80>
I would say there are plenty laws, they just only favor certain private industries ;)
<TRS-80>
not only, but in an awful lot of cases
<stipa>
goverments like money
<stipa>
it's all about the money
<TRS-80>
it's all about control, money is just one form of that
<stipa>
so they just go with what could generate money
<stipa>
money is fuel for everything
<TRS-80>
thought and platform control are also big, and not always even about money...
<stipa>
without fuel there is no government
<stipa>
so governments choose bad options just because they would get fuel and leave poor people in crap they are in
<stipa>
platforms are for money making for the platfor movners, all others are just bringing money in in hope of earning some
<TRS-80>
I dunno, some of these platforms, newspapers, etc. are losing lots of money, that's why I say it's not only about that I think (although largely, it is)
<TRS-80>
also they can (and do) simply print whatever money they want...
<stipa>
yeah, newspapers are gone
<stipa>
printed media
<stipa>
people just expect everything on internet to be free
<stipa>
one of the best ways to earn is ad revenue
<stipa>
what is actually killing online media is ad blockers
<TRS-80>
good, let it die!
<TRS-80>
...and nothing of value would be lost...
<stipa>
yeah
<stipa>
businessess are going direct to clients and consumers
<stipa>
since adverst don't wor

you guys getting this in ur rk3328 builds on 5.10?

<c0rnelius>
drivers/devfreq/rk3328_dmc.c:751:15: error: too few arguments to function ‘devfreq_event_get_edev_by_phandle’
<ArmbianHelper>
AR-583 [Bug] "RK3328 DMC driver needs small (hopefully) update for kernel 5.10" reported by Tony McKahan at 2020-12-16. Status: To Do
<Tonymac32>
I will try to take a look at it later, for now it's logged at least and I tagged piotr so he knows it exists
<c0rnelius>
you are the man! and I've noticed the blinky screen too, especially on the renegade. I use use most things headless and just happened to check it one day I though well that is odd.
<c0rnelius>
thought*
<Tonymac32>
I didn't have that issue until this last build, I'll need to dig into it, I saw a comment on the RK3288 saying something similar, but some patches there had been disabled
<c0rnelius>
I'll say this, the T4 seems to be running great on 5.10.y so far.
<c0rnelius>
of course i mostly just use it for native compiles, but everything onboard seems to be working as it should.
<Tonymac32>
good to hear. I am currently working on cleaning up the default overclock situation while still giving people the option
<c0rnelius>
aw kool
<Tonymac32>
anyone who lost the silicon lottery has stability issues
<Tonymac32>
the rk3328 is also OC'd out of the box for some reason, I'll hit it too
<c0rnelius>
I personally don't use the rk3328s that much but like to check up on them from time to time.
<Tonymac32>
stretch goal is figuring out the parameter thing in the overlays so I can allow people to play with the RAM speed on the Renegade
<c0rnelius>
They have their usefulness every once in awhile somewhere.
<c0rnelius>
That's would be kool
<Tonymac32>
The Renegade RAM speed was fixed with the DMC code and a cut/paste of the vendor ram skew values I was able to dig up
<Tonymac32>
I have it set to max 1068 MHz, the RAM itself is 1200 MHz capable
<Tonymac32>
whether the board can handle that I have doubts
<Tonymac32>
it was running 740 or something like that
<q4a>
has only `struct dw_hdmi *hdmi, void *data,` and `const struct drm_display_info *info,`
<q4a>
I need connector to check `connector->ycbcr_420_allowed`, but if I thied to do it like `struct drm_connector *connector = &hdmi->connector;` - i got error
<q4a>
`drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/dw_hdmi-rockchip.c:224:41: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘struct dw_hdmi’`

is it just me or open source projects are going payware?
<TRS-80>
There have always been some "open core" type projects. Some times that works out, some times not (then forks happen).
<ArmbianTwitter>
@TonyMac_32 (Thomas McKahan): Adding the 2 GHz operating point for the RK3399 becomes completely optional in future @armbian releases, I've made it an overlay that can be enabled through armbianEnv.txt. A set of 2 similar overlays will be available for the RK3328, enabling 1.4 and 1.5 GHz at user discretion. (6s ago)
<stipa>
maybe a transition from win to linux has no sense anymore
<TRS-80>
not sure I'm following that logic
<stipa>
popularity of linux is based on free stuff
<stipa>
now, all major linux project went payware
<stipa>
why not just stay on win
<TRS-80>
I think that is a wrong assumption (first thing you said)
<stipa>
may be wrong
<stipa>
but it's what's going through my head
<TRS-80>
Certainly, some people are attracted by that. I even was a little, at first. However at some point you realize what's important is not the "free as in price" but the "free as in freedom" as they say. Freedom being much more important, in the end...

hoiong deeper in results in "freedom" ideology
<IgorPec>
my "work" is mentioned "accidental exclusion of the driver for the 2.5-gig-E port in the most recent release" LOL
<TRS-80>
In our release notes? Or somewhere else? Like that one time we were shit talk on LKML... LOL
<tionebrr>
Okay, the problem seem to be the -current- headers are for 5.9.11
<IgorPec>
apt update
<IgorPec>
well, repository was updated yesterday
<tionebrr>
already did it today.. Will retry
<tionebrr>
hmm, maybe I installed the headers before updating.
<IgorPec>
i am trying here on my rk3399 machine which is freshly installed ...
<tionebrr>
You got an helios64 too?
<IgorPec>
not yet, but got a dozen of rk3399 boards
<IgorPec>
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 dec 16 16:54 linux-headers-5.9.14-rockchip64
<IgorPec>
this is why i got in /usr/src
<IgorPec>
so it works correct for me
<tionebrr>
Aah yes here we got.
<tionebrr>
I see them.
<pakcjo>
are there any news on the rk3399 successor?
<tionebrr>
Somehow apt update doesn't advertise the headers upgradable
<tionebrr>
pakcjo: I've seen a post on CNX software
<tionebrr>
will get you the link
<pakcjo>
tionebrr: don't worry, I saw it as well
<tionebrr>
okay
<TRS-80>
There is a post also on Armbian forums if it's same one I am thinking about.
<pakcjo>
if it's the one that I think :/
<TRS-80>
like RK3359 or something?
<tionebrr>
IgorPec: thanks for the tip. :)
<TRS-80>
IgorPec: I have to say, tough but fair review.
<pakcjo>
3566 I think
<IgorPec>
yes, its fair. we were just a bit unlucky that review was done last week :)
<TRS-80>
Also FWIW, I am seeing A LOT of nuw users coming to forums from Helios64 release, I'm sure you noticed, too. Some are even venturing out to other forums. I think it's good overall. Only one Windows crybaby so far that I recall.
<TRS-80>

<TRS-80>
mkultra57: Because TV Boxes are unsupported by Armbian proper
<mkultra57>
k cool
<TRS-80>
You read "read first" thread in TV Boxes?
<TRS-80>
it explains a lot
<mkultra57>
errrr, maybe not, apologies, I did read one of 'read me first'!!!
<TRS-80>
it's in top of "General Chat" section of TV Boxes, but we are discussing maybe shuffling those forums around again so might change in future
<tionebrr>
hey I have a question too... Why does some commands still need 'sudo' even when in root ?
<mkultra57>
end up even
<TRS-80>
mkultra57: Right, hence discussion
<TRS-80>
also other reasons
<TRS-80>
it's also relatively new, so I don't expect everyone to have read it
<TRS-80>
tionebrr: It shouldn't?
<mkultra57>
trs-80 I would stick that top of the link I posted too....
<TRS-80>
I am not sure that's possible with this "club thing" but I do agree with you
<tionebrr>
Well from what I understood, the root session shouldn't need sudo for anything right?
<TRS-80>
So far we are mostly pointing people to it manually, which is still better than typing common things repeatedly
<tionebrr>
I may need an update on that
<TRS-80>
tionebrr: correct
<TRS-80>
you have # for prompt, right?
<tionebrr>
yes
<TRS-80>
yeah I dunno man

<TRS-80>
like a bad rash
<tionebrr>
TRS-80: really, they are closing ?
<tionebrr>
** closing the RISCs?
<mkultra57>
I think it needs approval from US bigwigs.....
<TRS-80>
tionebrr: It's a bit more subtle than that. Go read EOMA / libre-soc guy comments on the matter. They were initially going RISC (in fact project used to be called RISC-soc) however in practice they are just another big consortium riding the current wave of open source popularity, while being actually nothing of the sort. At least that is libre-soc guy perspective. So they change their name to
<TRS-80>
libre-soc and are working with IBM on a POWER based solution which are recently becoming more open and seem to be much more friendly towards ACTUAL F/LOSS development...
<TRS-80>
look "closely" and then rubber stamp, anyway... regulators are all completely captured any more
<mkultra57>
quick q, this tv box I'm on 5.9.0, how can I force an update to latest? not bothered if I break it, I'll learn....lol
<pakcjo>
TRS-80: nah, I haven't done any research to be honest... (being quite busy with work lately), but well, let's see. Eventually I'd like to play with it and get into arm stuff, i haven't done much with it and seems like a nice hobby to have besides mechanical keyboards, my plan is to test it with armbian and also arm.slackware, see if I can get into the kernel again, last time I did any kernel development
<pakcjo>
was in 3.x stuff
<mkultra57>
re the emojis, I have an icon in the bottom right hand corner so I just click on them.....
<ArmbianTwitter>
@nl_observant (observant 🌱): @Hacksterio @armbian The Realtek NIC hw offloading issues can most likely be solved by using the latest driver. (15s ago)
<TRS-80>
pakcjo: Those areas I mentioned (most especially, download page) will give you idea very fast what the development state of any particular board is at. So I would continue along those lines: check forums, etc. I am glad to hear you are up for some tinkering because that may be required on some (so far) unsupported board.
<TRS-80>
mkultra57: Yeah they just come through as plain text in a real IRC client (I am using weechat for example).
<tionebrr>
TRS-80: found why I needed sudo, /usr/sbin is not in the PATH for root
<tionebrr>
mkultra57: I'm setting up a NAS right now
<TRS-80>
tionebrr: Aaah yes this is something I noticed, too on newer Debian (even x86...)
<TRS-80>
forgot about that
<tionebrr>
TRS-80: worth opening an issue?
<TRS-80>
I don't know why they did that, seems dumb but there must be some reason behind it
<mkultra57>
cool, you work in Strasbourg? Not been over that area for a while.....in fact I'm allergic to cities now....
<tionebrr>
mkultra57: Yeah I kind of work ~~
<TRS-80>
No this is (I think) intentional upstream change. I mean, you can try, but...
<mkultra57>
#metoo I avoid work really lol
<tionebrr>
TRS-80: might be documented somewhere then?
<TRS-80>
#methree
<TRS-80>
tionebrr: I suspect Debian proper
<tionebrr>
what is proper?
<TRS-80>
actual Debian itself
<tionebrr>
ah okay
<TRS-80>
main Debian project (i.e., not Armbian)
<mkultra57>
I think he was English Ian from Debian....lol
<tionebrr>
Armbian is actually built on top of Debian, or following Debain in some ways?
<mkultra57>
what's with this antikernel? sounds like the antichrist X)
<mkultra57>
trs-80 how do I force a kernel update?
<TRS-80>
mkultra57: armbian-config?
<mkultra57>
tried this but after reboot I was still on 5.9.0
<tionebrr>
mkultra57: It is a harware kernel
<tionebrr>
All the function of a kernel are actually performed on silicium instead of behing programmed
<mkultra57>
mmmmm dunno, just the linux kernel methinks! what's the difference?
<mkultra57>
I want to be on 5.9.14 to be in line with my arch desktop and my odroid c2 :]
<TRS-80>
mkultra57: I would stick with what is supported by Armbian. Because if Armbian is not on newer kernel for your board, there is almost alway some (good) reason for that.
<TRS-80>
Or is this TV Box? If it is, stick on whatever balbes or whoever have distributed. Otherwise things may very well break.
<mkultra57>
k cool......I'm slightly confused by what balbes150 does, cos I see he is one of your team BUT he appears to do lots of other stuff too....he's obviously talented...
<mkultra57>
trs-80 yes the tv box, I had an idea of buying some cheap, hacking a cluster/swarm and playing with podman....
<tionebrr>
Does removing all locales and set LANG to C.UTF8 works?
<tionebrr>
I like having my system full vanilla
<TRS-80>
he had made a TV Boxes fork of Armbian which was years in development and worked pretty well but too many variations in TV Boxes made the endeavour unsustainable and he stop support for Amlogic based devices
<mkultra57>
yes I knew the AMlogic connection and I have a few amlogic boxes following his wizardly but now I don;t use them for TV so hacking it is......and my next purchases will be purely Rockchip..
<mkultra57>
wizardry even!!
<TRS-80>
maybe you like a tinker, I personally stick to supported devices
<mkultra57>
YES that is the one I read! see I can read lol
<TRS-80>
as long as you are aware
<mkultra57>
yes I'm a bit of a hacker at heart, you should see the state of my house lmao!!!
<TRS-80>
because eupport resources are extremely scarce
<TRS-80>
so maybe like SteeMan you can eventually help some other people in TV Boxes, as balbes150 support withdrawal have left a bit of a vacuum there
<TRS-80>
s/eupport/support/
<ArmbianHelper>
TRS-80 meant to say: because support resources are extremely scarce
<mkultra57>
sure time is money or it used to be.....I have 101 diy jobs to finish off but get distracted with technology, it's interesting lol
<TRS-80>
I think you are in good company in that regard ;)
<mkultra57>
and I've been to the tip today with the freezer XD
<mkultra57>
yes I read some Steeman posts, he makes good points, they are dirt cheap, mmc onboard, psu included, hold on cheap my watts usage....
<mkultra57>
2.4 watts!!! totally awesome!! I want to save the planet too!!! <3
<mkultra57>
cheap=check
<TRS-80>
Yes I think we gave good idea of both perspectives. However as a moderator I can tell you that the vast majority of people are not like you and SteeMan but rather just bought some cheap device and don't know anything and require support which we cannot provide. Help vampires, if you will... And they are a flood...
<TRS-80>
we are only few volunteers
<mkultra57>
sure......the world is a big place.....and lots of folk want a piece of 'new technology' or be like westerners or be like Mark Zuckerberg or Mr Musk :')
<mkultra57>
trs-80 you in US?
<TRS-80>
yes
<mkultra57>
cool, which state?
<TRS-80>
internet connected underground bunker, location not disclosed ;)
<mkultra57>
best way to be......don't get involved with mkultra types X-P
<mkultra57>
I went to pensylvania in 96 with work, I was blown away but I was only married 1 year so couldn't make the jump....
<TRS-80>
There are many very beautiful and rural parts in US still.
<mkultra57>
and I never met Bruce Springsteen....
<TRS-80>
I hope to move to one of them in next couple years. Plan is well in motion and has been for some time.
<mkultra57>
north america is a seriously amazing place but with some seriously weird people:O

it does mention kernel config file, did you look at that?

Hey guys, is it just me or is openmediavault... errr... sluggish?
<IgorPec>
its quite bulky so probably yes. on which hw?
<tionebrr>
on the helios64
<tionebrr>
I didn't looked at the cpu and ram usage when going from page to page, but just getting the landing page is something like 5 seconds
<tionebrr>
just wondering if I may have an issue here
<IgorPec>
idk, don't use it
<tionebrr>
ok
<IgorPec>
5 seconds always or 1st time?
<tionebrr>
always. Sometime I don't even get the landing pag
<IgorPec>
thats probably something wrong
<tionebrr>
/s/pag/page
<tionebrr>
Maybe the nDNS
<tionebrr>
ssl looks fine tho
<IgorPec>
board is among most powerfull one
<tionebrr>
yeah, it should be blazing fast
<IgorPec>
but for OMV, hard to say, omv forums might be a better start
<tionebrr>
sure
<tionebrr>
Ah, also, I have a system right now I am happy with. What would be the best way to take a snapshot of it?
<tionebrr>
boot an sdcard and dd to a usb drive or something like this?
TRS-80 has joined #armbian
<IgorPec>
i am not fan of binary backups
<IgorPec>
of the os
<tionebrr>
why not? copy errors?
<IgorPec>
that also, but can be mitigated with verify
<IgorPec>
its slow and you backup 99% of garbage you don't need to backup :)
<tionebrr>
I see
<IgorPec>
script or write down install steps, use ansible or similar
<TRS-80>
tionebrr: I was saying similar thing to a guy in a thread recently, like reproducible setup
<IgorPec>
i am not familiar how you backup/transfer OMV
<TRS-80>
to me is better than full backup, like what Igor is saying
<tionebrr>
hmm I don't know ansible yet. Will take a look
<IgorPec>
ansible is just a steps to automatize install
<TRS-80>
tionebrr: I don't either. I use a Makefile. But that's something to learn, too. You could also write a bash script. Etc...
<IgorPec>
but for home usage you might need it, but againa why not
<tionebrr>
Ah I don't have OMV installed yet. Just ZFS and my zsh and lang and so on
<IgorPec>
both is easy to reinstall
<tionebrr>
okay so there is actually a lot of different ways to proceed...
<IgorPec>
we are also working to provide ZFS out of the box
<TRS-80>
Do you even need all features of OMV? Or just share some media?
<IgorPec>
ZSH install with oh-my-zsh is one click setup
<tionebrr>
Meh, I have some stuff going on there
<tionebrr>
development, storage...
* TRS-80
doesn't understand why people use OMV I guess
<IgorPec>
i am also running high end NAS but without any OMV garabage
<TRS-80>
I do all those (and more) on plain vanilla Debian?
<IgorPec>
with 6 drivers in Zraid2
<TRS-80>
simple NFS shares, piece of cake and super reliable
<IgorPec>
NFS shares only
<TRS-80>
IgorPec: You using one of those Clearfog IIRC?
* Tonymac32
doesn't use OMV
<tionebrr>
thanks for the great advices guys.
<IgorPec>
no, i use x86 nas
<TRS-80>
GET OUT!
<TRS-80>
:p
<tionebrr>
I may ditch OMV altogether then
<Tonymac32>
5 drives RAIDZ1 working well on RK3399 ;-)
<IgorPec>
haha :)
<TRS-80>
tionebrr: NFS setup is dead simple, plenty guides on internet, just a few commands
<IgorPec>
i have 128GB memory in NAS, not possible in just any ARM
<Tonymac32>
hahahahaha
<TRS-80>
in fact I think ZFS will do a native NFS share per zvol if I understand correctly, even easier
<tionebrr>
TRS-80: I'll try to stay clear of anything that would require windows to have a network drive connected.
<tionebrr>
I'm on a laptop.
<tionebrr>
So explorer.exe is going crazy unless I unmount the storage first
<Tonymac32>
I want to see this RK3368 with potential 8 GB RAM
<TRS-80>
tionebrr: Oh yes, if you need to support some Win clients, do samba instead.
<tionebrr>
which is a pita
<TRS-80>
but NFS is better
<tionebrr>
I was thinking about rsync.
<TRS-80>
if you can avoid Windows
<tionebrr>
So I have my files on local and they get duplicated on write
<tionebrr>
TRS-80: haha sure I'm trying
* IgorPec
doesn't have samba shares
<TRS-80>
well it's a goal, some times we need to get there in the meantime, it's OK
<TRS-80>
me neither, IgorPec
<tionebrr>
Windows have NFS support actually. The bad things are happening when windows doesn't find the network storage
<TRS-80>
Amazing how everything in my home network "just works" once every box was running GNU/Linux and open protocols, etc... Really makes you think.
<TRS-80>
tionebrr: In classic M$ fashion, their so-called "support" for opn protocols is sub-par
<TRS-80>
s/opn/open/
<ArmbianHelper>
TRS-80 meant to say: tionebrr: In classic M$ fashion, their so-called "support" for open protocols is sub-par
<TRS-80>
meaning, NFS in this case
<TRS-80>
I have read many people having problems with it
<TRS-80>
imagine my shock ;)
<tionebrr>
haha indeed, must have been a huge surprise ;)
<TRS-80>
too many layers for my tastes, but you do you, mate :)
<tionebrr>
IgorPec: that's some speed
<TRS-80>
hot damn
<IgorPec>
its pretty decent, yeah
<tionebrr>
it's MB and not MiB so he's cheating :P
* TRS-80
tells his little Cubietruck that everything will be fine
<IgorPec>
hehe
<tionebrr>
TRS-80: I think at least using the WSL would allow me to prepare for a total move to linux
<IgorPec>
you run win workstation?
<tionebrr>
(WSL = microsoft footgun?)
<tionebrr>
No W10
<tionebrr>
I don't even know the version, may even be Family hehe
<TRS-80>
In fairness, even I was dual booting for some time. But it did not take me too long to realize I don't really need Windows for anything. But you need to be comfortable and do it at your own pace.
<tionebrr>
yeah.
<IgorPec>
me too
<IgorPec>
it took loong, had dual booting and so on
<IgorPec>
well i still keep one windows laptop around, but its more like for emergency
<tionebrr>
Also, I'm doing some sound design and audio stuff. The big name in this domain are not playing the linux game
<IgorPec>
oh, and a gaming rig
<TRS-80>
USB keys with Debian Live are for emergenries :D
<TRS-80>
tionebrr: I find big names over rated in many cases, but I am no expert in that field
<TRS-80>
gayming
<tionebrr>
Yeah it's mostly to look serious... But really, some stuff just sound really good.
<tionebrr>
And I'am a sceptic audio engineer
<TRS-80>
IgorPec: I don't think we ever told you, do you know that I knew Tonymac32 since years before Armbian from some gayming community before in fact? :D
<IgorPec>
no, really? small world
<tionebrr>
anyone playing Zero-k here?
<IgorPec>
you also met in person?
<TRS-80>
exactly what I thought when bumping into him here
<TRS-80>
no not yet
<IgorPec>
we planned a bit to have a world armbian meetup in germany
<IgorPec>
but this strange situation blew all plans away
<IgorPec>
actually in austria, Saltzburg
<TRS-80>
I think I might make the trip (whenever it gets planned again). Always wanted to visit the place of my ancestors.
<IgorPec>
i think you have bigger desire to come to europe, that we have to come to USA :)
<TRS-80>
for sure
<TRS-80>
can't really blame you, most stereotypes are too true in too many cases for my taste
