This is the jellyfish h264 demo on a #librem5 using the #imx8mq's #hantro VPU.
Using the CPU we take 300% of CPU time, using the VPU instead we take 10% (and even that can be optimized further). Using the VPU also saves ~1.5W of power. Thanks go to the #gstreamer and #linux kernel folks for making this possible!

This iFixit video reminded me how cool the FairPhone actually is and I realized it makes me a bit sad that the Linux crowd currently doesn't work much with those devices :/

I plan to post about FOSS stuff here and since i just got a Pinephone that's probably what it will mostly be about for now. I am not a expert in anything, just some guy that likes to tinker with his OS. I will try to start making one to two blog posts a week and more or less daily posts on Mastodon for now and see how it goes :D
