Case in point :)

I personally prefer postmarketOS but everything is better than stock android/ios

They could go full deep packet inspection like other authoritarian regimes. But otherwise its gonna be tough.

You need to have a phone that doesnt read your screen though. Iphones eg read everything you do and probably share that data. No idea about android.

Hi friend! Good to see this insightful comment comes from you.

Iirc there should be a way to complain to the authorities about this, right?

I didnt even know about this one. Pretty awesome. Is it a drop in replacement for jellyfin and plex or different?

Sounds like we might meet at the congress in december. :)

And I‘m with you on needing a phone that works. Sadly, wishing it were in that place right now doesnt help. On the other hand neither does just jumping in the deep end.

With open source stuff, real people need to help out, either with work (eg testing) or with money, because the „build company, make open source thing, profit“ doesnt really work that way. Companies like pine64 deserve to be flush with money because they actually care to make something thats ours.

So yes, I also have a main phone for work atm while tinkering with the postmarketOS phone until I deem it stable enough for daily use.

And thats what I suggest to people who are willing and have at least one old phone they cant or dont use anymore.

P.s.: the fact that there are this many distinct phones that do at least boot while they are barely able to pay one person for dev work is actually great news.

I dont know about caddy but nginx proxy manager does this very well. Also, if running in docker, you can expose the port that runs ssh for forgejo und a different port than the host machine‘s (eg 2222). In that case you just put the remote in with the port and call it a day.

I agree on all points but the last.

Over two hundred phones have been ported to postmarketOS and every person giving it a shot will improve it. Together with grapheneOS, there are huge possibilities to mix a phones versatility with the freedom of linux. Combined with manufacturers like fairphone and pine64, phones also become more easily repairable.

The issue currently is that we have become ver accustomed to phones being very polishe. a lot of folks dont appreciate the free and open source phones and OSs due to their freakishly expensive, subscription ridden devices being optimized better.

If tech interested folks would default to repairable phones and open OSs, we would make a considerable jump towards being mainstreamable.

I‘m not saying people are at fault. Its just the way it currently is. We‘re seeing big improvements. I hope this continues.

*Then every studio and media corp decided to take us back to piracy.

There, ftfy. ;)

Do you realize you just quoted the first matrix movie nearly verbatim? ;)

And yes, I get that. It feels weird af.

Indeed. But most normies will gladly tell you they are not easy to manipulate while buying something the media has told them to. Its shocking.

Thanks for chiming in. Thats very insightful. It still seems like bsky is claiming to be something that its not.

So, from up close it seems like people can have their own servers (i checked wurzelmann.at which is currently on the frontpage) but they do not seem to have their own frontend.

This indeed makes it so that for people to actually SEE your content you must federate with one entity and are controlled by them.

Imo this is very bad because it takes the freedom out of federation. Yes, you dont need to login to an app but if they ban you or defederate or delete your post, nobody will see it, right?

Please someone who has tried and gets the technical details shed light on this.

It is pretty good but pretty reduced in functionality imo. Thats why I generally suggest fluffychat. Its nowhere perfect either but it works better on a daily basis for me.

I know. I said semi abandoned because element x is their focus, which is the reason they are not adding features to element and are hesitant to put in fixes for things that would require massive changes.

This is still not ideal because the flagship app isnt advancing in a good speed. Thats why I dont recommend it.

Matrix is great and works great.

Element is a semi abandoned client that happened to come from some of the makers of matrix.

Use literally anything else. Fluffychat works for me. Element is okay for debugging sometimes so I keep it handy.

But the commenters point stands. In matrix, you can send whatever you like, as illegal or morally corrupt as you wish because its nobody‘s fucking business AND e2ee.

If someone on my server sends csam, I would never know unless someone reported it to me. Because thats how privacy works.

Okayyyy… thats not great. I just read one of the threads and thats scary.

The person(s?) maintaining this seems to be VERY BAD at communicating. They did fix the auto start problem but did not at all discuss this from what I see. Thats not great.

It works very well and there is no speed difference at all. Of course you wont ever get anything worth in life without either putting in the work or paying either with money or your privacy.
