Phew. This is becoming an entire thing. The newest version of password-store for Android no longer supports OpenKeychain, only internal key storage. Using an older version for now.

Will have to look into switching my password manager entirely. Opinions, especially on Vaultwarden?

#Amianto nella #Sacelit di #Volla: #INPS deve risarcire #operaio

https://www.larampa.news/2025/12/amianto-sacelit-volla-inps-risarcire-operaio/

How does using the #Jolla #JollaC2 (@jolla) with #SailfishOS for about a week as a daily driver now (with my old #iPhone at home as a backup)?

In general, it works much better than I had hoped after my experiences with other alternative #smartphone systems and it indeed is the first (and so far only) system that indeed works quite well. Also at around 285€ (https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-community-phone) it isn't too expensive, so one can simply try it out.

There are a few limitations though:

* I am really missing biometric unlocking
* There is no predictive text input, so typing could be more comfy
* The UX experience sometimes feels strange (but no no-gos for me)
* It is not a snappy and fast device
* Audio quality is so-so
* GPS really needs a GPS signal, so no WIFI-based location

What is great:

* It is a real #Linux, so it has a #terminal, #sshd, you can e.g. use the #Nix package manager etc.
* Android apps are running in a container
* You can have different users to limit data access

Unfortunately there are nearly no high-quality native apps so far and the built-in ones are very basic (e.g. email).

But: The #Android compatibility layer is very good, the system comes with #Fdroid and #AuroraStore (#Google store front-end) pre-installed, so you can easily install practically all official Android apps.

Most apps work very well, some (especially banking) apps do not though as they complain that the system is rooted, so YMMV regarding the apps you need.

In general I am really happy with this system.

And: All the de-ggoglefied Android phones like the #Volla will always still remain just that: A more limited Android. SailfishOS offers a path towards powerful native (#Qt/#QML/#Cplusplus/#Python/you name it) based apps.

I am hoping that Jolla will provide a significantly more powerful device option and that some of the problems above will be solved.

But already now, even with the limitations above, if you are somewhat technically inclined (but without the need to fiddle with a command line unlike with the open mobile Linux distributions), want to get rid of #Google or #Apple for whatever reason, want a #Linux #smartphone, support a #European company from #Finland, this phone is really usable.

#Gigaset scheint sich von der Insolvenz zu erholen... Sie haben verspätet aber doch jetzt das versprochene #Android-Update fürs #GX4 ausgeliefert.

Das #GX4 ist allgemein ein nettes Gerät - robust, wasserfest, Akku einfach tauschbar, einstellbare Ladegrenze, Endfertigung in Deutschland... Baugleich mit dem #Volla Phone #X23 und mit etwas Fingerspitzengefühl auf dessen breite Palette verfügbarer Betriebsysteme umflashbar.

Mal sehen wie es unter den neuen Eigentümern aus Hong Kong dort weitergeht

::: Ubuntu Linux for mobile | Ubuntu Touch :linux: 📲

Mobile development is much more tasking - expensive hardware with proprietary pieces not open to the community at all. Special skills are needed to code for touchscreen-only input,etc.

** Ubuntu Touch is now based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS **

Ubuntu 20.04 EOL is 2030 - lots of time to move to 22.04 (& beyond) with less difficulty - now that the switch also from Upstart to Systemd was made.
