Do any of you daily drive a mobile Linux distro on your cell phone? Is that viable / will it ever be? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I can imagine that theirs is safer and more suited for targeted devices. Linux is extremely generalistic and has a ton of cruft.

But I have never looked at their code or tried to port a Linux app to Android. The #Krita devs might have some insight here.

Just saying what some guy told me.

It is also a highly modified kernel, extremely reduced. They do all filesystem stuff in userspace for example, which is pretty cool. And they add a ton of garbage out of tree drivers.

Ja. Denn alle die keine gute Beziehung zu Geld und mit ihren alten Verwandten haben, dass sie das Geld noch vor dem Tod bekommen, sollten es auch nicht bekommen.

Ist natürlich blöd wenn es der Ehepartner ist und man dann bankrott ist. Oder wenn es halt plötzlich geht.

Erbschaftssteuer 99% ab 1 Milliarde, passt. Die Geringvererber kann man ja in Ruhe lassen /s

Anything that supports EPUB, AZW3 or MOBI. So basically anything.

And should have like 8GB of storage at least.

I used a Kindle Touch, just didnt connect to the internet and used Calibre to convert EPUB to MOBI without issues.

Using i2p on Android with Mull (tux.social)
 

On Android/GrapheneOS, Firefox/Mull/variants is the only browser with the needed proxy settings to use with i2p.

After a bit of searching, it works very well!

As i2p servers you can use "i2p", "i2pd" (more minimal but more efficient) or "InviziblePro" which bundles some implementation of i2p.

I am using i2pd currently, and it works well.

Installed the apps with Obtainium

  • Mull from the DivestOS F-Droid repo
  • i2pd from the purplei2p F-Droid repo
  • MullvadVPN from Github, Orbot from the guardianproject repo (as fallback if clearnet sites are used)

The browser can open .i2p and clearnet sites, using a little hack:

network.proxy.no_proxies_on to !.i2p

KDE Discover now shows verification status of Flatpak apps! (slrpnk.net)
 

This is great. Having access to all apps is nice, but it is also useful to know how and if flatpak apps are verified.

This mostly means they are packaged by official developers. This guarantees better security, as the chain of trust is shorter, and better support.

[YT] Interview with Mark Shuttleworth, creator of Ubuntu (www.youtube.com)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by boredsquirrel to c/linux@programming.dev

The interview is in english

TIL

  • Mark was a Debian contributor
  • His goal was to make Linux succeed like Dropbox and Netflix
  • He acknowledges how ChromeOS and Android (both newer than Ubuntu afaik) shaped the Linux Desktop
  • ChromeOS uses upstart, the init system that Canonical created
  • Canonical is smaller than SUSE
  • Mark considers Ubuntu to be more open than Fedora because they have flatpak in their repos (well, Snaps arent sandboxed outside of Apparmor, so that just makes sense I guess?)
  • Ubuntu kept in contact with GNOME while switching to Unity, so they could easily fall back
  • Microsofted lured in Linux devs with money, to make licensed software
  • The cloud department in Microsoft was pretty progressive, using Linux anyways
  • Azurelinux is a competitor against Ubuntu

[DE] Contribute network location data to get location everywhere without sattelites! (tux.social)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by boredsquirrel to c/geospatial@mander.xyz
0 comments fedilink
 

Opensource geodata of celltowers, wifis and bluetooth beacons is crucial.

It allows apps like UnifiedNLP to give the OS the location data it needs, without relying on GPS Sattelites.

GPS can be tampered with, and A-GPS is not privacy friendly at all.

UnifiedNLP is only found included in microG, which is pretty insecure.

But GrapheneOS devs are working on a regular user app that serves network location data, using Apple, Apple (proxied) or a local BeaconDB database!

BeaconDB is a new service to replace MozillaLocationServices which has shut down unfortunately.

Apps like TowerCollector dont yet support it, but NeoStumbler does, and also has more advanced features.

Collect network info in your region, and in the future you (and everyone else using it) dont need GPS anymore!

(You can also use the screenshots in that mastodon thread as reference)
