@drq I dont use docker so I cant help you there. You can install go-sendxmpp from the alpine repos if you are on edge. If not, you have to use go get and have a potentially insecure version of go-sendxmpp.

I got blinking led working on the pinephone pro.

@cnx I use evil mode ๐Ÿ˜ž

@cnx capslock is my escape key lol. I dont wanna change that. I use escape more than ctrl.

@graf LMAO. I use emacs so my left ctrl key broke ๐Ÿ˜ž. I dont wanna order another set of keys so I just moved my right ctrl key to my left ctrl key.

@alexandra Yes it is!

@jan_wagemakers Thanks for posting this, I had to ask in the chatroom how docker nftable worked so updated the firewall wiki page to include instructions on how to contribute.

@jan_wagemakers We dont need to poke holes in the default firewall. We can use the "install_if" in the APKBUILD (see man APKBUILD). This is how the docker rules in pmOS are set and the docker rules are only installed if docker is installed. Regardless, I want pmOS to have sane defaults out of the box so I submitted a merge request: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/2725/diffs

@jan_wagemakers submitting a bug report or better yet, a merge request to pmaports would be cool! Ive always wanted to try out mosh.

@colinl I agree. I can recommend replicant, librem 5, or pinephone to anyone that values freedom over everything else. Thats why I see this article as about "why the fsf doesnt endorse the pinephone/librem 5 and why you might wanna buy one anyway if you care about freedom". In a world where "nothing to hide" has been the norm for 20+ years, freedom wont come overnight and we need a variety of approaches. Im just happy we have 3 phones I can recommend now to freedom lovers

Good writeup discussing how the pinephone and librem 5 stacks up to the fsf approved replicant phones in terms of freedom:

@herag I cant recall but I think there were a bunch of performance issues and general usability issues with surf. I think you can still install surf on alpine via `apk add sxmo-surf`.

#sxmo is proud to anounce 1.6.0 release featuring sway (wayland) support.

To quote the release notes below:

"Sway will allow Sxmo to support many new use cases. For example, the keyboard touch input is much better on wayland, the android emulator waydroid requires wayland, the megapixels camera app has better performance under wayland due to a gtk4 bug on Xorg, video playback and firefox is smoother."

@craftyguy @etam The scripts menu is a bit harder, we've wanted to split them up into separate packages and make the ui package in pmaports slimmer but we just never got around to it. There is a discussion item on the todo.sr.ht but no one has given a concrete plan we can discuss.

No sure about why context menus dont work. Does it work in vim and firefox? Feel free to open a issue about this.

@craftyguy @etam Like clayton said, those are all great suggestions and we would love patches improving sxmo on the librem 5! The screenlock has been reworked and turning screen off is no longer a separate option. New screenlock will be in next release. Making a config file for lisgd sounds cool. We are not against config files like upstream suckless, in fact Xresources is supported. However, please discuss your idea for a config file in the bug tracker.

@ticoombs sd cards are more prone to corruption than eemc. I dont know about speed but reliability will definitely be improved by going to eemc.

I am running openwrt. Any recommendations for a privacy respecting dns?

Release notes for Mepo - a suckless map viewer for linux and linux phones is here:
