<jfred>Okay, now that's interesting... I managed to reproduce that same GUILE_TOOLS issue I was seeing with pumpkin-chat on one of my own projects https://codeberg.org/spritely/pumpkin-chat/issues/60

<jfred>I hadn't run `autoreconf -vfi` on that project in a while and so I hadn't run into it

<jfred>hmmmm

<jfred>argh, running with `--pure` does the trick. so *something* from my shell environment is leaking in

<dthompson>jfred: ah do you have guile installed to /usr or something? that has been known to cause issues because guile's autoconf macros seem to discover that first

<jfred>dthompson: Oh interesting - looks like yes I do. It's the Reform which has a Debian image for now, I've got Guix installed as a foreign package manager

<cwebber>:)

<cwebber>hey jfred !

<cwebber>I too will be soon hacking Spritely stuff more from my Reform on the regular, I hope

<jfred>hey! :)

<cwebber>I've been upgrading my Reform Classic bit by bit

<jfred>:D

<jfred>it's fun being able to do that with a laptop

<cwebber>yeah!

<cwebber>once the Quasar comes out

<cwebber>I think it'll really be possible to use the Reform for everything

<jfred>oh yeah that'll be wild

<cwebber>what board are you using rn?

<jfred>rk3588 on my big reform, i.mx8mp on the pocket reform I'm using right now. Though I've ordered the updated rcore board and when that gets here I'll probably do a switcheroo

<jfred>really like having mobile data as an option and you need the new board to have both that + nvme storage on the pocket

<cwebber>oh are you actually using mobile data on your pocket?!

<jfred>yup!

<cwebber>wow coooool

<jfred>with mixed success but it's come in handy occasionally

<jfred>I

<jfred>I've got a JMP SIM in here so it's a little expensive if I use it too much but costs next to nothing if I use it sparingly

<jfred>so it's like the "uh oh I need to log into a server and fix it right now" kinda thing

<jfred>but yeah CAD is the one thing I really miss on these machines, so the quasar will be nice. they're getting closer and closer to modern laptop performance haha

<cwebber>yeah

<cwebber>the Valve announcements also make all this interesting

<cwebber>Probably means that ARM64 Linux is going to get a lot nicer in general

<cwebber>in userspace

<cwebber>sorry, aarch64 ;P

<dthompson>the steam frame tech is really cool

<jfred>oh yeah. the steam frame being aarch64 was super interesting (also kinda expected given some of the leaks)

<dthompson>I imagine it's difficult to keep this stuff under wraps when you're contributing to FOSS projects to prepare

<jfred>yeah. though the big hint on that one was actually steamdb scraping test stuff from steam: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/valve-appear-to-be-testing-arm64-and-android-support-for-steam-on-linux/

<jfred>so more of a "whoops we didn't mean for that one to be public" that time haha

<dthompson>woopsies
