@anjan and I will be running a table in a few days at in Portland, OR.

Come on by if you wanna chat about running real Linux on phones, any of the stuff we're working on these days, or just wanna say hi 😁

have you guys seen how people are
unlocking xiaomi bootloaders now
step 1: ask store to downgrade firmware
step 2: before they relock the bootloader
run away with your device

General reminder:

The domain name putty.org is *NOT* run by the developers. It is run by somebody not associated with us, who uses the domain to interpose advertising for their unrelated commercial products. We do not endorse those products in any way, and we have never given any kind of agreement for PuTTY's name to be used in promoting them.

Please do not perpetuate the claim that putty.org is the PuTTY website. If anyone is linking to it on that basis, please change the link. The PuTTY website is https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ and it always has been.

You can check this by downloading the source code, which cites that URL in many places (the README, the documentation, some strings in the actual code), or by using the "Visit Web Site" menu options in the official Windows binaries (the ones signed with my personal Authenticode certificate). The true PuTTY website is the one that PuTTY itself says it is.

Many search engines list putty.org above chiark. I don't know if this is due to active SEO on the part of the domain owner, or a heuristic in the rankings. Either way, don't believe them. It's not our site.

this week’s @gnome foundation report is out:

there’s a small appeal at the end for some help for a hacker who is currently in an unsafe situation in the usa. if you can help, please contact me.

The first revision PCBs have arrived for our hardware testing device harness! Now the testing and firmware development can begin.

Check out our last status report for more details https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/05/13/hw-ci-status/

several populated PCBs next to each other on a desk. The back shows the postmarketOS logo and some text "phone harness v0.1 made with love by fizzo and ncorna" one of the boards on top of a oneplus 6 for scale, it is just slightly wider than the phone

Thanks to @nlnet and @NGIZero for funding most of the infrastructure and maintenance work that went into this release as well as a lot of the systemd related work.

I just released honeybee 0.2.0! Honeybee is a simple daemon for making calls via xmpp. For the changelog, see the git commit: https://git.sr.ht/~anjan/honeybee/commit/9f3dfdb4fac505161690aa7cddd0853ac00a3f23

It should be available in Alpine testing repos soon.

@edward I'll check it out. Thanks!

@weirdtreething hey, I have a r36s and I was planning on making a port for it. Good thing I saw this! 🥹 I would much rather use pmOS than some random image from the internet. Is there a merge request for the r36s port? I can't seem to find anything about the r36s on pmOS wiki.

@Luigi311 for sxmo, we have a python script to convert from vcf to the sxmo contacts format https://git.sr.ht/~anjan/sxmo-userscripts/tree/master/item/scripts/vcf2tsv.py

@pabloyoyoista @postmarketOS I look forward to working with you!

I just booked my flight for #fossdem2025: https://fosdem.org/2025/

@pocketvj Neat idea! However, I want to keep peanutbutter simple which is why it doesnt use pam. Moreover, I would just turn my phone off in these cases. postmarketOS' full disk encryption is great!

Peanutbutter 0.4 is out. The lock screen now has a clock and icons!

It should be available on alpine edge soon.

Also, I was happy to see posters of groups organizing against Trump in Seattle. Liberals are incapable of actually defending marginalized people. The future looks bleak regardless of where you live. Please get organized with a local leftist group that speaks to you.

I had so much fun at #seagl2024! I got to talk to so many people about postmarketOS. Washington university is so beautiful.

@craftyguy @aren I would join this too!

I will be giving a talk about postmarketOS at #SeaGL2024! I will be there for both days. So come through to Seattle if you want to chat about postmarketOS with me.
