“The Chaos Computer Club supports the three hackers who explained in detail at 37C3 how the Polish rail vehicle manufacturer Newag had manipulated its trains in such a way that they could only be repaired in the company's own workshops. The manufacturer reacted to the publications with an attitude not seen since the 90s and sued the hackers under both criminal and civil law.
The CCC is calling for donations to cover the legal and other resulting costs incurred so far.”
anyone looking for a christmas project? here's an idea...
once https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/5920 is merged it won't be necessary have a fat32 boot partition for #postmarketOS anymore, just a root partition.
this means that for a buuuunch of Android devices it would be super easy to install postmarketOS from a rooted Android install (e.g. lineageOS) just by
- flashing the boot image + erasing dtbo
- mounting the root partition image and
cp -a'ing the whole thing to userdata - patch the UUID of the userdata partition to match the one in /etc/fstab using tune2fs, OR patching the cmdline (in the boot image) and the fstab to have the correct UUID
Then you can just run (from your rooted Android phone)
curl switch.pmos.org | sh
It should be available on alpine edge soon.

The goal with this project is to hopefully have another option for improving call reliability on Linux (and consequently Linux mobile).

Consider fixing my cura port on alpine and I will approve moving it to community!
