@jbauer @Angle Btw the performance on sxmo is fairly good. Re: battery life. I have to carry a battery bank if Im out for a long time but suspend support is improving. With sxmo, you wont get a notification while in suspend and have to reboot. Upstream is working on a fix but I just dont use crust for now.

@jbauer @Angle I am daily driving a pinephone! I didnt have alot of luck with phosh and plasma mobile but I enjoy using sxmo! https://sxmo.org/


If you are willing to hack a bit on the device to make it fit your needs, have reasonable expectations, and know what it's capable of, it's a good daily driver.

Daily reminder: it's immoral to NOT run adblock origin on every single computer you own.

@jakob @hexmasteen Thanks for the guidance guys! I didnt even know about nitrokey.

@colinl Clearly we need to start on our xmpp over ham radio project.

@jakob @hexmasteen

I just ordered a starter nitrokey. I did some research and found some stuff about yubikey I didnt like. Ill write a blog post about it when my nitrokey comes.

I realized I can use ssh via gpg and all my otp secrets are encrypted via gpg. I guess the totp wont be generated on the device which is kind of insecure but I have too many accounts that wont fit on the key anyways.

I wont be using FIDO2 for anything.

Excited to use it!

@hexmasteen Any reason for choosing nitrokey over yubikey? Yubikey seems to have more features and is cheaper.

I would prefer open hardware but I am also a poor student. It's fine if yubikey still supports free software through and through.

@keverets it doesnt look like it supports ssh keys whereas the nitrokey does

@hexmasteen I know yubikey recommends you buy 2 yubikeys (one as a backup). Is that the same for nitrokey? What happens if I lose my nitrokey?

@hexmasteen Whats in the nitrokey 3? Should I wait too?

Im thinking of picking up a totp physical key. Anyone got a recommendation? It must work with free software and preferably open hardware.

loved this! Might get a pinetime to try out mygnuhealth!

@Austin nope! You dont need root for ssg or rssg

@Austin https://www.romanzolotarev.com/ssg.html

is great. they also have an rss generator. other static site generators are more trouble than theyre worth.

The #Sxmo and #sxmo-offtopic irc channels are now on the oftc network:

The freenode channels are no longer in use. If you are out of the loop see:

@jarbus @hund Ya, I selfhost xmpp+mumble. It's not perfect but it gets the job done. The current state of matrix is not good:

It's not enough that the server software is free software and federated. The server software must be easy, cheap, and simple to self host.

@jarbus @hund You can host a mumble server on a cheap computer though instead of the supercomputer that matrix requires.

@govynnus Ya, that command works and gives me the correct time. Cool! I didnt know.

@govynnus Maybe dont use the date command if you're unsure. Try out the various websites. Just make sure it says "CEST" - Central European Summer Time.
