  • i have an idol3 from 2016 and even that has all the phone capabilities (except the camera) and it’s not listed as a community grade. you would be surprised at how many phones are working fully. and with sxmo/swmo every phone ever has a chance to be a daily driver.

    i remember a time when the thing blocking linux migration was audio calling on msn messenger. it got solved but nobody cared. these things take time to go over the tipping point. hardly anybody used android when it first came out, symbian was all the hype.

    if you are willing and have a spare phone you should try postmarketos now.


  • ldap is a central authority server. when you have ldap supported software, you can alliviate authorization to a central server. and if you make it so that you only need username for credentials (uid=%s,dc=example,dc=com in ldap jargon), you centralize your user database.

    that’s what i use on my home server. it takes most of the user registration hassle away.

    edit: by the way dc=example,dc=com is just an arbitrary value, you don’t have to have certbot certification for that or anything.



  • the other day i asked my coworkers that “doesn’t that bother you that some of your apps are always listening to you?” they said “i’m not saying anything illegal and when i see a product that i was talking about, it’s almost like a reminder, otherwise i would forget all abou it”.

    i gave up.
