Installing GrapheneOS through the Web-Installer is a breeze on a new Pixel phone. I didn't even need to log into a Google account first (although I did need to complete the original Android installer first and have Internet access for a moment to enable OEM unlocking).

Now copying over data and settings form the old phone may take a while longer. There doesn't seem to be an officially documented way to do so automagically.

Kind citizens of the Fediverse. (Especially those in and around #Erfurt, #Thuringia in Germany. The local #hackspace @bytespeicher and its #makerspace sibling @makerspaceerfurt could finally join together under a common roof, offering more space, more tools, easier access and more events.

If the new rent wouldn't be just slightly above what we could manage.

Is there a FOSS and privacy-friendly service that helps collecting feedback from people in a table? Without needing an account (except for the creator)? #Cryptpad is sadly still unusable on mobile, #Etherpad-style sites don't support table data (or are not mobile friendly if they need to be changed by editing markdown)

ServiceToot: If anyone ever (like me) is totally puzzled on why both the debian package as well as the pip package of *esptool* crashes with a missing file error if you want to flash an ESP32: get the file from https://github.com/espressif/esptool/tree/v4.7.0/esptool/targets/stub_flasher (search the exact version 4.7.0, main doesn't have it) and copy it manually.
Maintainers are discussing if they should wait for the toolchain to build the file themselves or ship as a separate non-free package since 2+ years.

Booking a contractor service in rural Germany is like: Abandoned or domain-grabbed website from the 90s, dozens of AI-generated imposter website using the phonebook-data to turn up in search, then re-rout to questionable national services, only a mobile phonenumber as a real contact.
Reaching someone on building site with bad audio, yelling at you, not giving prices, not describing service details.

Just finished the Mistborn series and already read the Stormlight Archive except the newest book.
What to read next from #Sanderson ?

Which other series ties into the #Cosmere events mentioned in the last Mistborn book?
