  1. Day 3

    Well firstly, I messed up some of the tags for Day 2...
    my-place.social/display/e59937…
    One slightly annoying thing that I forgot on my journey, usb... I could not plug in the phone into the car... it insisted on using some non existing network and would disconnect my network connections.

    Anyway, Day 3 though... The only thing of note is, I ran into some issue with #peanutbutter ... I don't know exactly what happened... but I had to do a hard reset due to peanutbutter working but not taking inputs. For all the months I've used peanutbutter.. this is a first. I'm chaulking it up to a random fluke.

    Speaking on battery... I'm spoiled. As a #pinephone refugee, I was used to paying extra attention to battery usage. Which is why I've always really dug #tui software (it has zero about how neat I find them as well /s). So, as I turned off suspend for my journey, I plumb ass forgor to turn it back on today... and ish was actually fine... like I used only like 50% of the battery with zero suspending. I didn't do a lot but my activities today:

    GPS to a place around the corner
    Spend most of the day chatting on #weechat #gomuks and mms/sms. I kept tabs on my M$ apps for work via web apps as well as made a few replies. That said, I missed zero calls (fuck scammers and promote #scambaiting ), I had zero sms or mms get stuck in the modem. We'll see how tomorrow goes with suspend on.

    (hopefully i dont fk this up)

  2. @UlrikeHahn As @Chip_Unicorn says, Element = frontend. Org = New Vector Ltd. In terms of ethics (vs #TyrannyOfConvenience) the main Matrix software is #AGPLv3 [1]; the protocol is open [2]; self-hosting is legal and ethical [3].

    As @lavaeolus says, security tends to oppose convenience: there's a learning curve for E2EE.

    I like #gomuks terminal; gomuks web is rapidly developing [4].

  3. @T_X Also the bet i made 5y ago is won: how disappointing it seemed at first, it is the power of the communities, the cleverness of the free/libre software developpers and users, and the personal work on tweaking and tinkering that made it over time get way better: more performance, adequation to my own needs, battery life even!

    I composed an environment based on the free/libre modem "distro" github.com/the-modem-distro/pi, #postmarketOS edge, #sxmo and mostly TUI tools: #tut #aerc #gomuks #links -g

  4. I was a gomuks user in the past, so recently when setting up Matrix again I decided to try iamb.chat and I love it.

    It has a very minimal UI. You can set up a layout, exit and by default it will remember it.

    Controls are vim-like all the way to macros. You can have tabs for things like rooms, DMs, the room list, and you can further split tabs into panes.

    After tweaking the space taken by the usernames on left side of chat, I now have a compact Matrix monitor on my terminal.

    #matrix #gomuks #iamb #vim #vi

  5. @ff7 @stereo @ulyssa i was just looking if there are some others next to #gomuks long time ago i tested alternative cli #matrix clients. and #iamb together with a #vim mindset. its a good fit and it works! also with a straight forward device verification. and later you have split terminal windows or tabs or ... in short: you will feel at home if you like :vsplit ;)

  6. @debacle @stefan @JensKessler @signalapp @daniel @gajim @dino
    @matrix

    ich benutze #matrix zb per #gomuks und dank bruecken zu signal, whatsapp zb kann man alles in einem verwenden und hat eine breitere toolauswahl.

  7. using using #gomuks on the #beepy i just read "quick room switcher". having plugged in a raspi zero 1 its not quick at all ;)

  8. @array @tulpa

    Yes, they take their man pages very seriously.

    is one OS you could learn a *lot* about with nothing more than a single offline OpenBSD box. Start with the Afterboot(8) and just go from there.

    man.openbsd.org/afterboot

    Contrast so many Linux projects where the only documentation is some dodgy wiki somewhere. No manpage, no README, no /usr/share/doc/, no nuthin'

    (, I'm looking at you, amigo)

  9. @panmaster when i'm using the phone in portrait style, i use the on screen keyboard. when i use convergence mode i just use a physical keyboard like any other computer. it's the same deal as other console apps like or

  10. @gamey @craftyguy then there's , a TUI matrix client for those who want a more limited set of features in a more comfortable environment. goes great with tut for the fediverse, neomutt for email, newsboat for rss, etc

  11. Realized you can send key presses in #tmux.

    So I can make custom bindings for programs.
    For example, I'm trying to use the #gomuks #Matrix client, and it has no bindings to download and open files from chat, only a command '/open'.

    What I did:
    bind-key -n C-o send-keys -t gomuks:gomuks /open Enter

    By pressing ctrl+o it writes /open and 'presses' Enter inside gomuks.

    I know I'd rather add the bindings in the code itself, but I tried and it didn't work, I'm not a coder, sadly.

  12. @pallenberg jap, ein wirklich tolles teil... :) mittels #golang hab ich sogar aktuelle (terminal) programme wie #gomuks für matrix auf der pandora am laufen ;)

  13. @artafinde I've just added #gomuks to the official repos. It's far more minimalistic but pretty stable I'd say

  14. Here's two more @matrix clients for you!

    @cinnyapp, for folks who like Discord's look and feel

    , for folks who go nuts for the terminal

    What's your favorite client?

  15. @kelbot i get around 5+ hours on my very similar #DevTerm with A04 and only 2 cores running + wifi and #amfora/ #gomuks running. Stand by works. I already ordered a #uConsole and i will try the #RaspberryPi SoM first with it. The R01 and A04 are also on the list to try out. The R01 is very slow, hasn't better battery life in the DevTerm and isn't supported well imho

  16. @ademalsasa ... And #gomuks is on the second place for me :)

  17. @kop316 for the win! by changing a few options it makes a fantastic matrix client on screens of all sizes

  18. @chrichri atm i use #nheko most of the time - if i connected a keyboard #gomuks in the terminal is also a nice way to go... have you compared #Moment with nheko?
