Today: set up two Bird Buddies in the garden (feeder and bath); got GNOME set up on the #PocketReform; played a couple of levels of #DOOMTheDarkAges (which is great); played through all of Spilled (a wonderful little game); watched the penultimate #DoctorWho episode. Decent day of unwinding

I have gone as far as to write about how I've changed up my desktop setup from Sway to Niri and the other changes I picked up along the way.
My #PocketReform is back! now updating All The Things.
@CatRyan made me a quilted zipper slip case for my #PocketReform using #emfcamp fabric with a complimentary orange liner.
Lagrange running on the MNT Pocket Reform. That was easy!
Stream of consciousness:
reform-handbook opens the Reform Handbook 2nd Edition, not the Reform Pocket Handbook *Edit* pocket-reform-handbook
Are there keyboard controls for volume? Edit: Hyper-F3/F4/F5 for lower/higher/mute
NVMe was installed but comes unconfigured by default. Might mount it as /home *Edit* reform-setup-encrypted-nvme
The blog post from 2022 lists a lot of "preinstalled" software that did not come preinstalled on my device https://mntre.com/media/reform_md/2022-06-20-introducing-mnt-pocket-reform.html
I've released version 0.3.7 of my WIP #Psion Agenda-like app "Pygenda" targeting keyboard-equipped PDAs running Linux (#GeminiPDA, #CosmoCommunicator, #PinePhone + keyboard, #PocketReform, F(x)tec #Pro1X).
The last two releases have been bug-fix releases (two releases because minutes after 0.3.6, I noticed an API change in a dependency was causing a crash & rushed out a fix). Hopefully it's in a good state for testing now.

@pbarker @oggcamp ooh lovely! I'd be curious to chat u-boot if I'm not too busy running crew; have recently had a few encounters via the #PocketReform (and also, postmarketOS on mobile).
Very excited to see a #PocketReform mod to add case closed sensor, will have to dig into this after my trip. Ordered the Qwiic components for delivery while I’m out. https://grimmwa.re/blog/html/00017-pocket-reform-lid-detection.html
@neil with the #PocketReform I've been leaning in more to TUI apps and Newsboat has been on my radar to set up. I use both toot and tut, nvim, and more... will work on a list at some point.
Yes! I managed to build @joplinapp from source on my #PocketReform!
My #PocketReform came this weekend. I promised myself I'd post my initial thoughts right away. Spoiler: I like it!

New blog post: a follow-up to my earlier story about the MNT #PocketReform, with a real-world field test in an actual field (well, pretty close). How else would I choose to spend a holiday Monday? #Blaugust2024 #100DaysToOffload

The MNT Pocket Reform is a tiny, modular mini-laptop that originally shipped with an NXP I.MX8M Plus processor. But now you can buy a $165 module + adapter to use a faster AM311D processor (the module has 50% less RAM though). https://buff.ly/4fPtQCw #PocketReform #MNT #MNTPocketReform #Modular #MiniLaptop
Current status: #AxiDraw running with timelapse video capture happening; #PocketReform top panel open and wired up for diagnostics; several short screen recordings captured for a future blog post about neither of these two other things...
