"[Old PostgreSQL logo from 1996, featuring "PostgreSQL" text above what looks like a broken wall made out of brick, and with the space in the background]

This was the first logo PostgreSQL used when released in July 1996. Frankly, it was a mistake to ever stop using it."

It's my first day on Mastodon, so I'm starting by introducing my cats.

This is Max. He's a black cat so photos are tricky - but here's one where he looks like he does in reality: the single most beautiful cat in the world (if you don't count all the other beautiful cats, which is all cats)

@nando161 Thank you for adding alt text to your image, really appreciate it :) think about all the disabled folks that will hopefully be able to get what you're talking about :D

@craftyguy @cas finally

iced in iced

@craftyguy @cas has anyone used iced to run iced? :D

@cas Alpine GNU/Linux

fite me

@blendergeek android isn't real Linux.

at least not what ships on production phones of the ~2017 era

you're talking 5+ million LoC added to the kernel, and a requirement to run proprietary blobs in userspace for hardware to work.

to be "a linux" i think you need to at least pass the smell test and Android does not

https://github.com/aospm on the other hand though....

@cas @craftyguy iced? is that a coincidence? https://github.com/iced-rs/iced

In case you didn't notice, the U-Boot Secondary Program Loader (SPL) amlogic S905(X) support patches are now in U-Boot next!

I'd like to take this moment to thank everyone who got involved in this effort, I believe it was a collaborative effort and many people contributed to reach this goal. I'd be lying if I said it was a one-person effort. :)

No matter if it's small things like some hints on how things work, or writing the whole mkimage amlogic handling, or pointing me to old Amlogic u-boot sources, or taking the time to review my patches (suggesting cleanups along the way that, in retrospect, just made the patch series a lot cleaner), or offering to expense money on boards, or donating them, or just quickly testing on a few boards, or even just encouraging me to continue working on this, it all matters a lot to me and I think without any of that we probably wouldn't have gotten to this point.

Back years ago a U-Boot SPL port to replace the proprietary bl2.bin blob was unheard of, I never thought we'd go this far!

So thank you so much for your help, no matter how small, it really did and still does mean a lot to me.

❤️

With that I'm ready for what's happening next :D

Because unlike commercial social media, fediverse doesn't attempt to silo you with people in the same linguistic & geopolitical bubble to make you more lucrative to advertisers and less of a threat to nationalists.

Vondelkerk in Amsterdam is burning down, neighbourhood is being evacuated 😞

Help from neighbouring cities was called in because the local firefighters were also very busy with people being assholes with fireworks 😒

Gotta wonder if the two are related, heh.

@hexaheximal yay it's 2006

@danct12 @imrehg on rk3588 h265 works really well I think. VP9 however doesn't.
