postmarketOS develops free and open-source software to extend the life of consumer electronics. By empowering people to have full control of their devices, we promote a healthier and more sustainable society.
For hackathon movie night, we followed the theme of movies with UI names in them again. Previously: "For the Plasma" (2014) and "The Gnome-Mobile" (1967).
This time:
"COSMIC Journey" (1936 !!!)
Reviews coming in below!
A double-feature of postmarketOS related talks is coming up in the FOSS on Mobile devroom UB4 132 at #fosdem, starting at 15:00 (in a bit more than 1h):
Mainline kernel for Fairphones - 2026 update by @z3ntu
postmarketOS: Reliability in 2026 by @ollieparanoid
You can watch in person or stream: https://live.fosdem.org/watch/ub4132

We're ready at #FOSDEM2026! Come visit us at UD2 and we'll tell you about all the awesome things we do and what happened since last year.
We're showing off Fairphone as a desktop setup, our brand-new hardware CI, our work-in-progress immutable edition and more!
Also, we have some limited amount of t-shirts to sell, so come by before they run out!
As we've posted in our monthly blog posts before we're working hard on hardware CI to automatically run a bunch of tests on various phones for changes in the software we ship.
To accomplish this some of our team members have created PCB's to connect the phones to so we have full control over them, and after some iterations the first batch of the production units have just arrived!
We'll start setting them up in the hackathon we're doing after #FOSDEM and we'll soon share the initial results!
@dylanvanassche's merge request to use usb-moded from #sailfishos just landed in postmarketOS edge.
"Devices running GNOME Mobile, Phosh, and Plasma Mobile received a new USB stack based upon usb-moded which is more robust compared to the original stack:
* Netboot works again which regressed with supporting USB tethering.
* Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is now available for users to access files of their device. See pmaports#646.
* USB access is disabled by default, increasing security. Only after enabling the right mode, SSH/MTP/... functionality will be available as usual. In host mode, nothing is changed.
* Once you connect the device over USB to your computer, a notification will pop up asking which USB mode you want to enable, defaulting to charging only.
* Opens the path to other USB modes through FunctionFS.
When you plug in your device, a notification will be generated allowing you to select the USB mode you prefer"
Thanks @dylanvanassche and everybody who reviewed and tested! ❤️

🎙️ In our very timely new podcast episode 46 "Summer Events Special" that we are totally releasing just a few days after it was recorded, @RannyBergamotte, @ollieparanoid, @z3ntu and @linmob talk about Linux Mobile action at #defcon33, #why2025 and #froscon2025, all which took place between August 7 and 17 this year.
We get into how DEF CON in Las Vegas compares to the European events, what it's like to be at a hacker camp, plenty of Linux Mobile talks at FrOSCon, and a lot more!
Special thanks to @tgm for editing (first time editing a postmarketOS podcast episode)! ❤️
