question for free software maintainers

how do you go on holidays?? I'm at the point where I get 20-25 GitHub emails per day (issues, PRs, discussions, replies). I'm scared to think what I will come back to if I leave for a week or two

aha! looks like they WERE in fact 3D rendered! even to the point of using a human figure as an origin point for the camera to make it look like you were actually looking at a desk top

Technical Writer looking for work!

Previously worked at Red Hat on OpenShift and Ceph, and at various startups. Been contracting the past year, but it's a tough market out there, and I'm very much in need of work.

I come from a technical background (software engineer). Open to contract work and FTE.

Reach out here or fionn@kelleher.email. Happy with solo work, or joining a team of writers.

Boosts appreciated.

postmarketOS 1d ago

Speaking of great things for Linux Mobile that @nlnet and @NGIZero are funding:

One of them is the OpenIMSD project, which has the goal of getting VoLTE on Qualcomm based phones working with postmarketOS, @mobian and all other Linux (Mobile) distributions.

As a precursor to that, we need to be able to create VoLTE-related QMI traces from Android phones. @lynxis figured out a good method and wrote a blog post about it:

Creating QMI traces from Android phones with Frida to reverse engineer Voice over LTE

Aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones

this purism blog post marketing about firmware security is wild

In the case of the Librem 5 smartphone, there is no Intel ME or AMD PSP at all—offering a truly transparent architecture.

Yet the Librem 5 has a proprietary boot ROM, additional ROM code for root of trust validation, a modem running proprietary firmware (connected via USB)

most importantly, I don't believe they actually enable secure boot, so if you're able to gain root access you could trivially replace the trustzone firmware with a modified version

To not go into any detail about the security model is pretty wild for a post titled "Hidden Operating Systems in Chips vs. Secure, Auditable OSes: A Cybersecurity Comparison"...

You don't get to own Xorg. It belongs to the X.org foundation and community.

X.org literary hosts and runs Wayland and Weston

Xorg is dead and we killed it. And nobody regrets it.

Calling all analog film photographers! 🎞️ I've been working on Filmbook, an open-source app to help you keep track of your film usage. It's built with Rust & GTK4/libadwaita for a smooth & modern experience – and it even runs on Linux phones like the Librem 5 and Pinephone Pro! 📱

The first version is ready for testing, and I'd love your input on what features would make it even better! Join the community & help shape Filmbook: https://codeberg.org/bjawebos/filmbook ✨ #filmphotography #analogphotography #rustlang #gtk #opensource #community #testing #featureideas #librem5 #pinephone #linuxphone

@hub At the moment Filmbook is not stable enough. But in the near future I will submit there.

@bjawebos Haven't done film photography in years, please help me better understand this. So that's like keeping track which roll is in which camera at the moment, how many shots left, which rolls still need to be developed and which haven't been used yet, etc.?

@prokoudine At the moment, the application is still very much geared to my needs. I have several cameras and not all of them have the option of inserting part of the film carton at the back. That's why I wanted to remember which film is in which camera. It is also sometimes good to remember which films have not yet been developed. I would then take a film of the same type and load it again. Once this is exposed, I have two films of the same type and can develop them in one developer box. It should also be possible to remember which films you have in the fridge and which cameras are in the cupboard. How much you expand this is another question. One feature that is not yet integrated is the ability to create image entries for an inserted film. There you could enter the exposure time and which lens you used. Perhaps also a quick little sketch of the image. However, I think that having to document every image there is too time-consuming and not relevant in practice. But maybe I'm wrong.

@bjawebos That's more of an explanation than I was hoping for, thank you :) Are you planning to tag a release any time soon?

@prokoudine I have create an issue for that problem. https://codeberg.org/bjawebos/filmbook/issues/1

On my system the bug was also there. I have delete the db and after that the migration of the database was successfully.

Wrong database version

Column 'status' is missing. The reason is that the migration is not complete. ![grafik](/attachments/fe7c79b4-06c8-49a6-8051-7dd31a847889)

@bjawebos 🤩 Maybe submit to This week in GNOME (https://thisweek.gnome.org/about/) . I think it's fine even when not yet considered stable by it's author.

(still always thrilled to see phosh screenshots out in the wild 🙈 )
