 uelen | what do you think of C? and have you taken a look at Zig? | 02:53:32 |
 xj9 | C calling conventions are pretty much unavoidable at this point, but Actually writing C is extremely error prone. i’m a huge fan of open BSD but the better discipline it takes to maintain that kind of code base I think it is not scalable | 02:59:10 |
| uelen | yeah I feel the same way about C, it's way too easy to accidentally introduce bugs | 02:59:44 |
| xj9 | zig is interesting but I haven’t dug too deep into it yet | 02:59:52 |

| uelen | okay I've been reading into solarpunk and sunshine gardens and I can get behind a lot of your goals | 07:56:43 |
| uelen | what projects are being worked on right now? | 07:57:10 |
 @cow2001:matrix.heldscal.la | yes, you're idealistic! | 08:14:40 |
| xj9 | nomad and build infra are top priority right now. once our source hut instance is up and running i’ll be focusing on tracker and p2p standards. | 14:10:29 |
| xj9 | i believe we’ll also be doing some stuff with libreboot and hosting an fdroid repo | 14:12:34 |
| xj9 | i’m trying to start a hackbase in salt lake city, utah | 14:14:18 |
| uelen | what's nomad? | 19:02:54 |
 adinfinitum | nomadic identity? | 21:35:44 |

nomadic identity? or the hubzilla android app. from @disroot.org?! | 21:36:59 |
| xj9 | nomad is a palmtop computer | 22:56:05 |
| xj9 | one of our hardware projects | 22:56:21 |
| uelen | ooo cool | 22:57:32 |
| uelen | is it ARM? | 22:57:38 |
| xj9 | yeah rpi 3 or 0 | 22:58:55 |
| xj9 | i’d like to do some stuff with vocore2 in the future (mips) | 22:59:38 |
| uelen | what point are you at in the project? | 23:00:28 |
| xj9 | ask rendeko | 23:01:48 |
| xj9 | i don’t have a hardware lab yet sadly. slc is kinda spendy if you want space | 23:02:44 |

| xj9 | salt lake city | 04:47:08 |
 @rendeko:matrix.org | nomad I basically just need the hardware for and to touch up the 3d printed enclosure a little more | 06:02:58 |

nomad is a palmtop computer Nomad is a cool name but given there's already some naming confusion (eg with the Hubzilla app), maybe could tack on another word. Something like PalmNomad? | 04:08:26 |
| @strypey:matrix.org | BTW Nomad backwards is "damon" 😏 | 04:08:57 |
| uelen | Nomad is a way cooler name than palmnomad imo | 06:26:40 |
| xj9 | it’s technically the “tomo nomad” | 13:18:51 |
