@vbatts It's fun if you want to prioritize portability. My setup easily fits in a fanny pack when I'm not wearing it and hangs from my belt when I am. Beryllium is just the most active arch distro for arm with drivers and kernel stuff focused on graphical performance on rockchip SBCs. I'm ok using whatever else if it existed. Also I just kinda like how arch works. niri is super fun. Been using it as a normal desktop for years too.

@vbatts I need to do a writeup still. I just did a major update last week. :P tl;dr: khadas edge 2 glued to a battery, twiddler 3 one handed keyboard, XReal One Pro+ glasses for display. BeryliumOS arch distro for ARM linux with niri as the window manager for infinite horizontal scroll.

@technobaboo Not missing out tbh. Internet is more fun.

@technobaboo Come down. :P

Using my cyberdeck heatsink for warmth because idk how tf to work this thermostat.

Day one and I'm already homesick :P

Anyone in #hastings wanna hang out and talk weird tech and or transhumanism this week?

hot take: I'm not a fan of "fish and chips"

Jealous of europeans since they get access to the fancy nitrous oxide monster energy drink flavors all they want.

Found a guy doing FPV at the beach and he liked checking out my wearable computing setup. Feels really natural to walk around in mixed realities. Especially with how easy it is to move the screen into the corner without needing fancy window managers.

One thing they don't tell you about polyamory is how much work it is to make time for everyone before a long trip :P

I love being a clueless tourist and getting lost on public transit. At least I can actually speak the language here!

Woop. Got my mastodon instance back up. I really need to figure out why that cron job for running maintenance still doesn't work. 🤷

@akhileshthite Not sure yet. Most I've done is an hour or so so far. Gonna be doing extended time this upcoming week and can report back. I expect the perscription lenses will help a lot with eye strain.

@brandon Yeah I really like how it's just a display and I don't need an app or any extra software to make it work. I do a lot of work on my Viture headset already so I expect this will increase how much I do with an HMD. I'm going on a work trip next week and *only* bringing my cyberdeck and Xreals so I won't have a backup screen or keyboard to use. It'll be a great experiment

Low information people coopting terms from very specific contexts irks me a little.

@tahnok Yes, I got the (removable) camera attachment. It's decent quality tbh. The way you access it is weird, you open a menu on the glasses which makes them act like a usb storage device with a DCIM folder with the recordings/photos. There's also code out there to get the raw camera feed as a webcam stream.
