Damn @plasmamobile is really good. Phosh still has more features which make it easier to use and plasma mobile is missing some features but workflow and UX wise plasma-mobile is already better.

„Neben der Debatte ums große Ganze wurde es auf der Konferenz in kleineren Seminarräumen auch konkret und praktisch: Das Projekt compost.party wirkt wie ein digitales Biotop. Im Kern handelt es sich um einen experimentellen Webserver, der auf einem alten Smartphone läuft und ausschließlich durch Photovoltaik betrieben wird. Anlass war ein Telefon mit defektem Display und ein geschenktes Solarmodul. Mit #PostmarketOS wurde aus dem Android-Gerät ein Linux-Server auf einem Dach in Berlin.

Das ungewöhnliche Setup ist nicht nur technische Spielerei, sondern programmatische Haltung: Das Projekt versteht sich als Teil #Permacomputing-Bewegung, also dem Ansatz, der digitale Technik im Sinne nachhaltiger, kreislauforientierter Praktiken neu denkt und dabei Fortschritt nicht über Wachstum und Austauschzyklen definiert, sondern über ihre Vereinbarkeit mit ökologischen Grenzen und langfristiger Funktionalität."

Last night I opened a draft merge request to open up #postmarketOS #pmbootstrap's flashing interface to more use-cases by adding a new "flash" subcommand that takes a path to any arbitrary file and the name of the partition to flash. It works like the existing flashing subcommands, i.e. no need to install and set up any flashing tools on your host—especially useful if your OS does not provide easy access to up-to-date device flashing tools.

Can postmarketOS use 2 kernels?

Can postmarketOS use 2 kernels? - Lemmy.World

Can some functionalities for os be passed to second kernel? For example there could be docker or some other VM with Halium kernel to use some apps for example WiFi, camera and SIM calling? Example can be qubesos which uses separate VM to do networking and other functions.

Yesterday I fixed the Fairphone 5 audio on my Archlinux system, just for myself (afaik I'm the only user of my FP5 stuff).

Within that day, @wrenix submitted a pmOS patch and 3 separate people already approved it (with Luca not even being one of them).

@FestplattenSchnitzel even ported the fix to the FP4 and tested it.

PostmarketOS might not be able to win me over from Arch with their software, but the community they managed to build is impressive.

Finally switching my daily driver to #grapheneos. The phone is a refurbished #pixel 8 I bought on ebay.

Installation was super easy using the official WebUSB based installer (literally only needed the browser on my laptop and 15 minutes, most of which spend waiting for things to download and flash). Can only recommend. https://grapheneos.org/install/web

I am still in need of a case for this new phone and a screen protector would probably also be a good idea. Any recommendations?

As for my #fairphone 5, which I previously used as daily driver, I plan to eventually install #postmarketos on it and use it to provide testing and possibly development for mobile #gnome #calendar. That's a todo for another weekend however :)
