#xjournal — Public Fediverse posts

Had more time digging into the #Pine64 #PineNote tablet today.

There were a few known issues related to getting apt upgrade work. This repo helped a lot.

Used both the serial console (via a USB-C adapter which was in the package) and SSH. All works like a charm.

Got git and @radicle running on the device after the software updates got installed. This will be great to fix stuff on-the-fly.

Tested #Xjournal, and that looks looks like it's going to work a lot better than what I expected. Together with Syncthing, this might actually replace the Kobo Elipsa tablet I have (which has collected dust for a while, due to Rakuten's/@[email protected] #enshitifaction of the Kobo devices).

Discovered the two different ways to adjust the light (separate white/blue-ish and orange-ish sliders).

Overall experience so far today is quite good! But still not convinced about GNOME as the desktop environment. Perhaps something like a tiling window manager would be better? It helped a bit though, reducing the default 200% zooming to 150% - values below was basically too tiny for this display.

I'm now pondering on encrypting the /home partitions at least.

And I'm going to look into installing OpenVPN on the device and getting some backup running as well.

But overall I'm quite happy what I've seen so far, at least in regards to the ability to hack this device.

Still find the pen way too simple, though.

#todoagenda en complément de n'importe quel agenda.

#tasks pour la gestion des tâches. Un truc vraiment exceptionnel. J'aurais adoré #jtxboard pour #xjournal, mais trop complexe et pas de sync PC.

#notes pour les notes

#passman pour les mots de passes

#cookbook version 0.24 pour les recettes.

Bien sur #nextcloud pour la gestion de fichier.

#lespas pour les photos !
