#postmarketos — Public Fediverse posts

For people who still maintain digital music collections: what do you use to manage your music collection and get either all of a subset of it onto your mobile device of choice? I'm particularly interested in iOS-compatible options that don't require a Mac, or solutions that help motivate dogfooding a #PostmarketOS solution.

Habe heute am bundesweiten Warntag auch das erste mal eine Probewarnung bekommen auf mein Linux Telefon. Danke an die Entwickler:innen.

Und bei diesem Toot gerade die Mehrfachauswahl von Dateien verwendet. Das ist ein neues Feature von Phosh 0.57. Auch zum ersten mal. Auch hier Danke an die Entwickler:innen.

Ein guter Tag heute :)

Okaaay, survived the first day, here is the summary:

- Got 2 incoming calls with working audio
- Emergency cell broadcast worked
- Browsing with 4G and Firefox very nice
- Chatty did not sync Matrix messages from 4G, only wifi
- Had to do one hard reboot because the login screen malfunctioned
- Battery duration was approx. 12h with medium usage
- Pretty nice handwarmer, though

Gotta give the @phosh folks and nlnet (for funding that work) a pretty good applause :D

#phosh #postmarketos #linuxmobil

cell broadcast works on #postmarketos (didn't expect that, but good to know as I started daily driving it on my personal phone half a year ago)

Oneplus 6t: check
PostmarketOS stable: check
2nd SIM Card: check

Let's go!

I found it a little bit more fiddly (than on #UbuntuTouch) to get Waydroid working in #PostmarketOS but this wiki page was helpful:

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Waydroid

After that, downloading the #fdroid apk and installing AuroraStore was plain sailing. So in short AuroraStore is already supported (in a way, i.e. in an Android container) in Linux on mobile devices.

Its been a while since I just stat down and installed Linux on something that has no business having Linux on it.... today I bring you the Microsoft Surface RT (We all know RT stands for Really Terrible), a ARM32 machine running Windows 8 RT from 2012 that Microsoft pretty quickly gave up on.

Lets install Linux.

#KDE #Plasma on #postmarketOS turned my Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro tablet into a laptop replacement. I've been using this for #OpenRGB development when out and about due to its smaller size and way better battery life and I've been very happy with it. The only real downside is performance, but with #OpenVPN and a decent connection I can use #waypipe to remotely use one of my Arch desktops for the more demanding things like compiling.

@superuserdo @postmarketOS
If you want to use the device to make phone calls, than #pixel3a. If you just want to try out and play with #postmarketOS, I would recommend #oneplus6 or #oneplus6t

When it comes to getting at least close to all my basic needs & wants met in a degoogled smartphone setup, I've got basically the blackberry #Key1 or Key 2, or #Unhertz titan with at least #PostMarketOS with those options having a $200-600 price range, most being $400-500.

Or #Motorola phones and a separate mini keyboard, with #Calyx or #PostmarketOS, with a $70- $700 price range, most being under $250.

On #smartphones heavier for me is always better, so if as I suspect the cheaper option is also heavier, that's another selling point for it.

When an $800-900 item & setup is inferior to a $70- $250 one, this isn't anywhere near a matter of my being too picky, but rather a matter of the ridiculousness of insisting that everyone has the same exact needs!

#Ableism #Classism

#ComputerHardware #HardwareDesign

Took the car for a longer drive today and figured it was the perfect chance to test navigation on my #linuxphone . Тhe road is really winding, so it's easy to see if the position tracking is accurate. I wasn’t expecting much since, when I’m stationary, all apps seem to drift by about 100 meters. To my surprise #PureMaps was just as precise as OsmAnd on Android, which I kept running side-by-side for comparison.
So, on #pixel3a with #postmarketos GPS works perfectly when you’re on the move.

#waypipe on #postmarketOS is the best solution I've ever used for running applications on my desktop at home on my phone while I'm away. It's seamless and apps show up natively alongside local apps with proper touchscreen control, mouse control (via #TouchpadEmulator), #squeekboard OSK, and scaling. I used to think ssh -X was the only thing I missed about X11, but after trying waypipe no way. X11 is dead. I don't miss it at all.

@privacyguides I think #LinuxMobile is the only real path forward for freedom.

Instead of hoping in #Google, it would be better in the long run if concerned users rallied behind #Linux options (mainline or #Halium-based), and there are quite a few now, existing and upcoming.

Dear Fediverse,

Do you have a podcast you would be happy having archived?

I've been working on a mad project combining #cyberdecks #homelab mini racks and #recycling old tech. I'm in the process of writing it all up so hopefully will publish soon.
It means I've got a portable low power pseudo-server cluster which would work well as an archive - I recently read that podcasts are at risk of disappearing and while #internetarchive does a wonderful job I thought it would be fun to have another archive.

Let me know if you are interested! I only want to host podcasts if given permission

#archive #solarpunk #solarpanels #postmarketos #podcast

@chocrates @DeathByBigSad If you're already used to Linux desktop, I'd even venture to say that Linux phones are daily drivable for you in this order: #FLX1s from @furilabs, #JollaC2, #LibertyPhone, #Librem5, #Pinephone.

I'm daily driving a #Librem 5 with #postmarketOS and everything critical actually works for my use case.

so, i switched from spotify to #qobuz... for reasons... now i own a #hifi device (albeit entry level). for the price, the #hiby #m300 is pretty solid with my #koss #portapro headphones. especially since i've had my porta pros for like 3 or 4 years.

i'm all in bro

...oh god what day is this? I know I didn't post yesterday...but it's been like a two day gap? That's pretty good indicator, right?

day 7 i think?

anyway, i'm going to be a bit lazier as the trip goes... but i'll try to keep relevant updates.

The only real not worthy thing... as calls don't work (don't call it a #bug, call it a #feature), I did get suspend locked up because the phone swore it was in a non existing call. So I had to reboot.. only the second maybe third reboot of the trip. Otherwise... ish is fine. It's real hard not running #topgrade tho~

Do I wish I had app equivalents to ride sharing and food ordering? Absolutely... but as someone that cannot dev.. I can only try to fund ish... So I refuse to complain about it. And to be honest I could try Android Translation Layer, but that feels like that's missing the point, and the web sites mostly work... #uber is a pita tho.

Day 5

Uneventful. And isn't that what we want? I haven't rebooted since I have arrived. I might reboot tomorrow as #snapshot seems to be ... having some blinking screen issues. #megapixels seems to be working now though lol... I want to build megapixels 2.0... but... might need to upgrade and everyone is telling me not to...

#sxmo #pixel3a #postmarketos #pmos #linuxphones @linuxphones @linuxphones #tui

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.

#sxmo #postmarketos #pixel3a

(hopefully i dont fk this up)
@linuxphones @linuxphones.ml

Day 2...

So... I think I need to address the audio overflow issues I'be been having. Like, day one on #pmos on my pixel 3a I've seen random buffer overflow... I've just ignored it. While the device did get fairly warm... it wasn't more than my regular android phone would get, but I had two reboots happen in an 11hr drive. Given, audio has rebooted and frozen the phone in the past, I can't say navigating was the issue. Also, I #puremaps worked well... but obivously waze navigated a quicker route. There were a few questiobable decisions puremaps decided on routing... like getting off a highway for an exit and getting back on... While I relied on waze, puremaps would have gotten me there... reboots aside. But yes, otherwise I had #qutebrowser monotoring my work communiques. I was streaming a twitch stream (shout out to #theunexpectables) for a good chunk too... which was a little much...should have done audio only

#Kuroko is now in the edge/community repo on #AlpineLinux and #postmarketOS officially!

I’m the sole maintainer of Kuroko on #Alpine!

Here’s me installing it on a fresh copy of #pmOS on a #Pixel3A to celebrate!

Thanks the person on my original #Mastodon post for convincing me and the Alpine #aports team.

I did #Fedi! The joke is now reality. Please #boost as this is a big achievement for me!!!

#GooglePixel #GooglePixel3A #Linux #LinuxMobile #Tech #Technology #Fediverse #Programming #Python

#Kuroko has finally arrived on #AlpineLinux!!!

Currently on edge testing branch!

It will also be available on #postmarketOS as well!

#Linux #Alpine #Tech #Technology #pmOS

This #Pixel3a may be the first #postmarketOS powered device or even first #Phone EVER to build and run the #Kuroko #Python dialect!

#GitHub repo for Kuroko (made by the same guy who created ToaruOS and even he ported Kuroko to UEFI):

https://github.com/kuroko-lang/kuroko

(Built on master branch directly from #pmOS which is cool!)

UPDATE:
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/78565

Now attempting to get Kuroko officially in Alpine repos!

Smartphone mit vorinstallierter Google-Alternative

Der potenzielle Markt für Smartphones, die auf Google-Apps und -Dienste verzichten, wächst ständig. Neben Projekten, die Linux-Phones entwickeln sind unter anderem Sailfish OS, LineageOS und PostmarketOS verfügbare Google-Alternativen.
