  1. been using my with the daily for all my engineering classes for about a month now, and loving it so far! some programs i was pleasantly surprised by include , , and . i didn't expect these programs to work well but they are actually so useful and work just as well, if not a bit slower, than on my thinkpad. up next i'll need to install and for more circuit design :)

  2. what am i doing? just improving my blog by editing the `barf` build script to fit my needs! attached is a screenshot of what i'm doing right now sitting on my couch with my connected to the . my goal is to get a title and subtitle to show above the navbar in the header that is generated based off the first few lines of each article's markdown file. i've already succeeded in making this work for the landing page!

  3. another blog post is (finally) up! this time, i take a first look at using the with the lapdock. i've really enjoyed using the device over the last few days, and look forward to continuing to use it after i head off to college this fall.

    my rss feed is also updated, so if you want to be notified of my future experiences linux on ARM devices, add this to your rss reader

  4. i finally got around to writing my first impressions article, it'll be going up on the website in the morning when i have the lighting for decent pictures.

  5. you'll never guess what came today! the 360 running off my linux phone is here. i reconfigured my setup to suit it, and i've ordered a phone mount, shorter usb-c cable, and a case for the lapdock. so far it's been fantastic to use. a first impressions article on the blog is coming soon!

  6. so despite advice to get an old thinkpad and use that for school, the appeal of a was just too much. i bought one! my deciding factor is that i recently found not 1 but 2 old x86 laptops that i can put arch on and use in case i need to use proprietary software unavailable on ARM. i'll be sure to do a first impressions review once i recieve the lapdock. i also grabbed a shorter usb-c cable and a magnetic mount for the pinephone for ease of use

  7. woah i can't believe i haven't yet noticed, the community maintained firmware for the @PINE64 has been put up on github! i'm excited to see where this project goes. i'll work on a follow up article to my first impressions of the device once i publish the infinitime spotlight tomorrow on my blog. hooray for the pine64 community!

  8. i just discovered the and i'm really excited. ever since i started using my in desktop i've wanted to find a laptop shell that i could turn into a convergence device, and the nexdock ticks all the boxes. to any users of the linux phone and nexdock, what's your experience with the devices been like? thanks to the @linmob weekly update for introducing me to this via the purism post about it!

  9. another post on my blog, first impressions, is now available at my new domain hamblingreen.com! i'll explore my week with the new @PINE64 earbuds and talk about the future of this community driven project with a few music puns thrown in. as always, an rss feed is available on the site. this is a special one as it's the first post on the site hosted on my home server. i'm still figuring out letsencrypt stuff, so for now it says its a self signed certificate. enjoy!

  10. is now available on the AUR for anyone on desktop or (or a derivative) looking to easily try out this voice recognition software. give it a try at aur.archlinux.org/packages/num. if you like it consider contributing to the main project at git.sr.ht/~geb/numen. i tested with recently and was pleasently surprised at how efficient controlling my device was with it.

  11. (2/2) but this is super neat and i can't wait for the voice recognition library numen uses to mature fully so that numen can be used to more intuitively do things like set timers while cooking, etc. im excited for what numen has in store for the mobile and desktop linux communities! the weekly update inspired me to give numen a try, and im glad i did.

  12. Hello from on my ! This was completly written hands-free Using voice recognition. Being able to Entirely control your Device With your voice is astonishing.

  13. @JF @PINE64 Loving the 1.6 update too, reconnecting through is so easy! Can't wait to try or once my arrives!
