Totally, RAW processing is planned for after resolution changing works correctly. Do you have a recommendation about which implementation is easy to understand and work with? If I have to rewrite stuff for low latency, I'd rather start

At Purism, our goal is not to build a phone or two, but to contribute to the ecosystem as well. That means the Linux kernel, and the Linux camera infrastructure. Now, we have two choices: either contribute support for our hardware, or use s

Author here. While the essay comes from the side of smartphones, it's not really limited to them. As I mention, even some laptops use setups that require complex infrastructure to support. libcamera itself is also used in the Raspberr

Agreed. The "brutalism" in web design takes only the superficial look but forgets about the philosophy of nakedness and honesty. How would that translate to the Web? IMO by blurring the distinction between the rendered page and th

I do actually work for a tech startup (Purism). Been bouncing from one to another mostly interesting job for a few years before that. I want to continue trying to make the world better, including sustaining myself through Open Source. Prett

The Nordic SDK is out of the question. It's not Free Software, and there's already plenty of non-free-software devices out there. I will have to port the NimBLE stack to Tock OS, and that's guaranteed going to be complicated,

The watch hardware is waterproof (but not submergeable), it works for 1 day without special optimizations (all-disabled-low-power-mode on original firmware about 2 months), it has a sunlight-readable display which should work with GPS for a

Yes, I have ordered a batch of smart watches that go on the handlebars, same as the prototype on the photo. I will sell them together with a Bluetooth wheel/cadence sensor once I figure out Bluetooth.

A bike computer is the name for a device you put on your bike to show you useful info like speed etc. Typically they are about as flexible as calculators, but this CPU has been shown to run Doom, so it's a general-purpose computer too

I'm still going at my bike computer - you know, the open source, hackable one. I spent the past 2 months improving Tock OS - added GPS and file system - and yesterday got the display running: https://github.com/tock&#x2

That was the case for me: I built a static site generator in 500 lines of Python. Adding comments took me a long time and lots of effort in comparison – I described that on the blog too: https://dcz_self.gitlab.io/posts&#x2F

The idea is great! The hardware is a little less to my tastes: the one I picked up has a GPS unit, plus a display that can stay on for days (weeks?) on a single battery charge, plus it's readable in the sunlight. Otherwise I think ther

An open source bicycle computer. The goal: a privacy-preserving, standalone fitness assistant on which you can load custom apps. I always wanted a bicycle computer that I could program, which would help me not gethurt while training, and wh

I'm not sure about a file system enforcing hierarchy. Historically, they didn't even support directories at first. Which use cases would a query language fail to help with?

by dcz_self 5y ago
Would you be interested in cooperating on that? You can ping me over email (see my profile or the blog). My second impression about the Bangle.js is: "oh no, JavaScript only?". Still, it's much better than building the same t

Do you have any writeups/examples in the public? I am on purpose not addressing the exchange of information between people – never considered it, no vision, would just confuse me. I'm also not so keen on indexing. I'm envis

Nice, thanks! Now I need to reconsider. My goals were to have 180+ days battery life and wired connectors, but maybe no one really wants those.

I identify the hierarchy as the source of my problems. I don't need hierarchy, and when I use it, it's because that's the one tool I have. There's no hierarchy between time and place, and I shouldn't be forced to es

Thanks, that's a great summary. It does seem it's most of the way there already. How does it handle removable storage? Ironically, the fact that a topic-specific UI is needed for topic-related tasks is another strike against close

That's what I'm thinking about too. Most directories are describing what's already available for the computer to extract: the place of something being created, the time of it, the source where it came from (e.g. who sent this

Thanks for confirming. I intended to check on perkeep, but my frustration never reached that point before. I hope it can be adjusted to my needs: I expect I'm going to have to find solutions for tracking files' sources, for snapsh

Do you have any links confirming that? I'm failing to find any resources.

That depends on how easily I could compile it, and how much more effective it would be than querying. At the moment I can't come up with anything better than queries. I'm willing to part with some money to have someone implement i

Lightroom is closed and comes from Adobe, so it was never on my radar. Being able to modify the software is a must: photos are only part of the problem, so any solution must be open to integration with other sources of data. It would have b

Too many ideas given the time, but now I'm focused on two: 1. Building an open source bicycle computer. It's been over 20 years since they arrived at the scene, and there still isn't one that you could hack! An outrage! No pu

Similar here. I've been spoiled by Lenovo, although it's not perfect. It's mostly a coding machine for me too. 0. Linux compatibility: minimal driver problems, hibernation can fail less than 1% of the time. 1. Touchpad with m

That's not far off, at least based on the English descriptions of Framasoft. With self-governance included in the package, it's not imposible to turn into another Framasoft in the long term.
