Heads up for edge users:

We've switched to Plymouth for displaying the boot splash! This allows screen rotation to work, and to toggle between splash and boot logs by pressing ESC on devices with a keyboard, or the power button 🔌 on phones and tablets.

Switching from pbsplash to Plymouth

Aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones

postmarketOS

wondered why vscode was running like total shit after a recent update, then it popped up telling me the extension host crashed and offered to do an extension bisect so im like sure why not

i go through picking can/can't reproduce just based on vibes of how shit it was running

i have 116 extensions installed and THIS was the end result of that, joker moment of a fucking generation. fuck microsoft

(if you reply to this telling me to not use vscode i will probably block you, yes that includes suggesting codium or whatever. i wish this wasn't the workflow i ended up with but it is and now isn't the time for me to switch)

anyone else attending GPN wanna go to the cinema to watch The Amazing Digital Circus finale?

I'm donating #Pixel3 with installed #PostmarketOS #Phosh edge. It helps me open #mobileLinux world and now I prefer a more modern hardware.

I'd be happy to post it to someone who needs it as long it's in the EU. No payment needed.

You can also come collect it in #Helsinki

Thank you for the support. I'm going to send the phone to Hamburg. Happy coding!

Turning the Ayaneo Pocket S2 into a Steam Deck Mini is really coming along. 

@fossdd can you meow twice if you just shipped 1 year of work on ModemManager to Alpine edge on Friday?

https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/commit/1a556f21f2d58a4bcb4a22b8099971e1a3969010

Features:
- automatic GNSS on SDM845 and SDM670
- Assisted GNSS using previous location

community/modemmanager: upgrade to 1.25.95_git20260422 (1a556f21) · Commits · alpine / aports · GitLab

Stable release will be soon (expected in a few weeks) and has been very stable for most users, while brining new features like cell broadcast that we can start to...

5. The authors say they have other chains (including ones that allow container escapes). I believe them.
6. A mildly de-minified PoC for Alpine with a new payload ELF is at hackerspace[pl]/~q3k/alpine.py . You'll need /bin/ping from iputils. Tested on an ancient Alpine ISO from my cringe^Wdownloads directory.

lol, lmao?? this AI generated website makes me wanna headbutt a wall but the CVE seems real(?), update your kernels folks

https://copy.fail/#exploit

the part that really grinds my gears is why is the poc written in the most disgusting possible python syntax?? are we optimising for size here?

hehe, haha

absolutely deranged ad on reddit, pay to have this website display your customised "frame"(?) for a minute of the day?? please politely fuck off lmao

it's basically modelled on the stock market, buy a minute now for $1 and maybe if you're lucky and the company pop off you can sell it later and make a profit
