Tonight's 📲 FAIRPHONE 6️⃣ update brings the same simplification to bootloader unlocking that the FP3 received in March: No more unlocking code needed (OEM unlocking in developer options and unlocking via ADB and Fastboot are still required). Apart from that, the update promises a couple of fixes as well, e.g. for the curse of mysteriously disappearing photos just taken. /u

Unlocking codes will no longer be necessary for FAIRPHONE 4️⃣ bootloader unlocking either. After tonight's 📲 FP4 UPDATE, only the FP5 will still need a code – let's see if the next FP5 update completes the elimination. /u

"pmbootstrap will now perform strict builds of packages by default, which was previously opt-in behavior enabled either by invoking it with the --strict flag or by setting pmb:strict in the APKBUILD for a package. The change for this was merged to pmbootstrap's main branch today and will be shipping in the next minor release, probably 3.11.0."

Thanks to @aelin for implementing this and writing the devel blog post!

to be clear, armv7 does not count. Armv7 is a separate arch in postmarketOS, separate from armv6. Armv6 is known as armhf in alpine/pmOS also.

Interesting. And how many people use their armv6 with postmarketOS?

(also tell the device you use ^^)

@noisytoot no

@zardoz recent Pi's starting with Pi2 are armv7

@zardoz vote on the 2nd poll.

Also, armv7 doesn't count, only armv6 :P (original Pi0 and Pi1 is armv6)

Let's do it one more time because I messed up the poll (why does akkoma default poll timeout to 10 minutes?).

Do you still use armv6?

EDIT: VOTE ON THE POLL BELOW, I MESSED UP THIS ONE

do you still use armv6?

If you have a CoC but don't apply it to your own longtime members/contributors, you don't have a CoC.

Got C to run in userspace on #Artemis 🎉

So, seemingly, somebody's Fedora and proprietary-forge credentials were compromised and used by some sort of LLM-driven bot to take over a lot of Fedora bugs:

This person is now claiming to have regained access to the accounts, but it seems that not everybody is buying it.

What a world we have made for ourselves...

@pabloyoyoista from postmarketOS is now talking about the distributed phone CI that is being worked on for postmarketOS!

A security vulnerability labelled CVE-2026-27771 affecting Forgejo and Gitea is being widely reported recently.

Packages in Forgejo are visible to unauthenticated users if they are published under a public owner, as designed. It is not a security vulnerability, but a misunderstanding about the permissions and a good opportunity for users to review that they are not in a misconfigured state.

Please see the statement issued by the security team here for more details: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/website/issues/839#issuecomment-15980039
