Success!

We just managed to get the @PINE64 #Quartz64 booting, using our Linux-RC kernel version 5.14-rc3-5.
It's currently available in our Unstable and Testing branches.

A couple of caveats:
USB3 does not work yet.
Sata and PCIe does not seem to work either.

#Chafa is a #terminal image displayer.

Chafa supports many common image formats, including still formats like PNG as well as animated GIFs. Chafa can use a larger character set than other image printers, allowing for a much higher fidelity output. Chafa supports several different color modes, including true color. Chafa has a #library interface.

A much improved touchpad firmware for the #pinebookpro is now available for flashing! Presently, the process requires some degree of Linux knowledge, but even a novice should be able to follow the instructions. If you're not comfortable with executing the process, community developer dsimic is working on a use-friendly and (more) automated utility for flashing the firmware.

Maybe you know that you should do only one thing in one function, and do it well.

But did you know, that in #rust, you can do one thing in one closure and do it well, too?

E.G.:

.map(|e| { foo(e); bar(e); baz(e) })

is nice. But

.map(foo).map(bar).map(baz)

is way nicer to read and does not have any impact on performance (not really, at least)!

So, do one thing in one call! 🙂

Surprisingly good day today:

Cloudflare says their datacentres run almost entirely on renewable energy, and they will be migrating to more power-efficient CPUs and buy CO₂ offsets to match what they produced since 2010 https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-committed-to-building-a-greener-internet/
GitHub put $1M into a slush fund to cover legal expenses for developers hit by DMCA takedown notices https://github.blog/2021-07-27-github-developer-rights-fellowship-stanford-law-school/

Steps in the right direction.

@ManjaroARM is an absolutely awesome distro and the reason I run Manjaro, it’s easily the best optimised OS for my #pinebookpro

#JerryScript is a lightweight #JavaScript engine.

JerryScript is a JavaScript engine for use on resource constrained systems, like mid to high end microcontrollers. JerryScript features a rich API allowing it to be used as an embeddable language like #Lua, and ported to various systems for use as a system language. JerryScript supports ECMAScript 5.1, and can create and run compiled bytecode.
