So I received an email from Pine64 on this matter:

“Does to double Ethernet height, currently only acrylic enclosure available. the Rockpro64 Premium Aluminum casing not suitable for Star64 SBC.”

Guess no NVME option at the moment as the acrylic case is too short for that.

So there is a happy ending. I called the Customer Accounts Team at Mouser. They couldn’t explain why the order was cancelled but sent me an email link to verify the credit card used. After that the order was reinstated and shipped. It arrived less than 12 hours after that. Now to find time to play with my new Unmatched…

I use BTRFS on my Artix system, Ext4 on my Librem 5, Ext4 on my Devuan laptop and Ext4 on my Pinebook Pro. Basically when given the choice in the installer I choose BTRFS but if the installer doesn’t let me pick I don’t care enough to manually partition. I have had no negative experiences with any file system luckily so I just roll with whatever.

One of the reasons I prefer GOG is that I don’t want to use a client. I prefer to download offline installers and then run my games through Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher.

I like many of the things that Framework bring to the table. One of the only things I thought they lacked was a FOSS BIOS option like Coreboot so if this uses u-Boot or something similar it may be on my wishlist.

I like it when boards are a standard such as mini ITX or mATX. Any idea if the Jupiter would work with the libre kernel ?

I tried the update command and the repos that the error occur on are

“http:////dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/3.19/main”

“http:////dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/3.19/community”

I don’t get the error on my Pinebook Pro which si also on PostmarketOS 23.12 if that matters.

I love Open Collective and prefer it over any alternative. I will still try to support the individuals who use Liberapay but really like the transparancy of OC for supporting projects.

The fact that PostmarketOS used anything other than SystemD was a selling point for me. That beign said it seems like it will be optional so at that point I see little reason to be angry.
