I loved the first episode of the #postmarketOSpodcast!

https://cast.postmarketos.org/episode/2020-12/

The episode was alot of fun to listen to. Looking forward to what postmarketOS accomplishes in 2021 and beyond!

@toast @jbauer I appreciated the help regardless! =)

@toast @jbauer I see...Thanks. Ive tried packaging stuff for rust and it was a very painful experience. Maybe one day when Im bored Ill try it out.

@toast @jbauer I see... I wish there was easier way to compile without docker. I dont want to run a random binary off the internet. =P

@toast @jbauer What am I doing wrong?

@toast @jbauer I havent heard of that. Link?

@jbauer is this busybox ash?

@edel I am a software freedom extremist but even I have a hard time letting go of video games. I have gotten my friends and family to switch to free software communication platforms though.

@resynth1943 @ChampagneSupernovaX Thank you for reminding me about this. I think I might use qutebrowser with the new adblock addon and just stop worrying about it.

Bookmarking for when I eventually start searching for the "perfect browser" again.

@ChampagneSupernovaX @resynth1943 I have been using gnu icecat. It started being very out of date. It's starting to get updates again. Firefox hardened with custom user.js was ok but the usability is terrible. How are the other browsers? Which one do you recommend?

Id like to use smaller browsers but Im worried that they dont get the security updates that major browsers (chromium or firefox) get.

I hate how all browsers are basically spyware.

@govynnus Alpine is a great distro but its documentation is definitely lacking. Thanks for updating!

@govynnus I had the same issue. Some distros DONT use crypttab. See gentoo's wiki:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dm-crypt#Automate_mounting_encrypted_file_systems

So edit /etc/conf.d/dmcrypt and enable the dmcrypt service on boot.

@rebel_luddite I agree. I only use distros where the free and nonfree repos are seperate just incase I need to install nonfree apps. The only distro Ive used that doesnt have google as the default search engine is postmarketos. Theyve created a firefox config installable (and if the user chooses uninstallable) via the package manager:

https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/mobile-config-firefox

I just have to go through and add that package to all my favorite distros...

@ombres diode.zone is good

@rhonda Thank you!

The update was a bit rough, did stumble into some compile issues, but we should be up and running again. Sorry for the inconvenience - we are now at latest pleroma

I shouldve tried gentoo a long time ago.....

@amolith I actually use this workflow and wrote a blog post about it!

@detondev I think talking about how often people in the industrialized world buy phones and how much is in landfills would an interesting topic.

ie. Planned obsolescence on the part of phone manufacturers (unrepairability, no security updates, firmware that prevents replacing screens, batteries that cant be replaced etc.)

Full disclosure - I love postmarketos and theyre trying to make phones have a 10 year lifespan and thats part of the reason I got involved in the project.

Daily reminder that hanging out in irc/xmpp channels for your favorite free software projects and helping new users is a great way to contribute to free software.
