if you've ever messed up a dimension or a hole position on something you're building, don't be too hard on yourself.
at least you're not the Cisco design engineer who caused an entire product line recall by placing the mode button (which resets the switch if held) directly above an RJ45 port.
Introducing initial support for #postmarketOS in #mkosi π₯³
shit fuck i accidentally installed garfana instead of grafana
I'm super happy to share, that the #Fairphone (Gen. 6) was just announced, and we've been able to already publish a lot of code for it!
* #postmarketOS support is submitted
* 59(!) patches were sent to bring up upstream #Linux on the SM7635 SoC and enable the device.
* The stock Android source code is public on code.fairphone.com
This has been a lot of work over the last couple of months so it's awesome to finally be able to share it!
I'm on a mission to create a dialup ISP in my room, and I now have a working telephone exchange to hang it all off of.
Now I'm just on the hunt for some olde modems.
The exchange is a very simple combination of Asterisk (on NixOS, on an old Apple Trashcan), with some Cisco 2-line ATAs and twinkle/BT Big Button phones.
( @eloy , I've been told you might enjoy! )
postmarketOS v25.06 - "the one with systemd" is out now!
* Camera for OP6/6T and others πΈ
* #GNOME 48 + 48.mobile.0
* #PlasmaMobile 6.3.5
* #Phosh 0.47.0 with Stevia now installed by default
* #Sxmo 1.17.1 (again, but this time with a systemd preview too!)
* os-installer images
* mobile-config-thunderbird
Thanks to all the amazing people who contributed to this release!
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.
Sorry, this pillow is full.

wrote enough of a stub compositor with wlroots to run rootful Xwayland with windowmaker. much lighter than "real" X server...
Me and the gang about to do gang shit (nap all day)
"omg he gifted me matrix premium do you think he's into me?"
this purism blog post marketing about firmware security is wild
In the case of the Librem 5 smartphone, there is no Intel ME or AMD PSP at allβoffering a truly transparent architecture.
Yet the Librem 5 has a proprietary boot ROM, additional ROM code for root of trust validation, a modem running proprietary firmware (connected via USB)
most importantly, I don't believe they actually enable secure boot, so if you're able to gain root access you could trivially replace the trustzone firmware with a modified version
To not go into any detail about the security model is pretty wild for a post titled "Hidden Operating Systems in Chips vs. Secure, Auditable OSes: A Cybersecurity Comparison"...
