Who knows if this is true because I don’t have the expertise to understand if it is or not, but supposedly the explanation given by the GrapheneOS team is that the pixel phones were the only phones that had the hardware security strong enough to provide the security model GrapheneOS wanted.

Well, whatever this… Is… I’ll still offer maybe try gnome-mobile if you can, and see if thats any better on the touch interface. Also, check out flatpaks for apps, as there’s a decent amount of them that support responsive design, so they at least scale in tablets and phones.

There’s also a gnome extension that can manually rotate the screen instead of relying on the sensors.

I’ve been messing around with postmarketOS and gnome-mobile, flatpak apps, and waydroid for android apps, are the 3 things that make it sorts usable. Now if only we could get VoLTE, working cameras, and bluetooth passthrough to waydroid container, that would make me a very happy linux fan.

I wonder if you’ve found Tim Eyman’s account, lol.

What an amazing coincidental birth year, compared to what product he ended up “creating”…

I’ve been messing around with gnome-mobile on postmarketos and I like that quite a bit. I’m not sure how it scales and works with tablets as I was using it on a phone, but if you’re looking for an android like interface experience (no touchscreen as a mouse), gnome-mobile was nice.

I think people are feeling like this because the awful people that enable and drag the rest of society into these messes, never learn. Sure once shit hits the fan and it affects them deeply they’ll be complaining and calling for heads to roll, but the second the rest of society fixes the messes they created, the second they get a comfortable life again, they return with the same attitudes that lead down the dark path to begin with. They just don’t learn. Only changing their views when it affects them personally and then immediately flipping back when life is good again.

Yeah, the trouble maker part. Or people that are violent, etc. Going to punk music shows with mosh pits, etc…

After not having a great time towards the end of highschool, I ended up spending most of my free time.between classes, in classes, and lunch, etc with the punk kids and the potheads. And they were some of the nicest and coolest fucking kids I’ve ever met. Super glad I had that experience because it definitely broke that propaganda fueled view I had of those two groups, for when i entered adulthood.

What is VB in this context, virtualbox?

Been a while since I messed around with my server, but I feel like I set up the VM network NICs, as a bridge, br0, and then set up the host network as a bridge, br0, so my VM’s and host could all talk to each other. I wonder if your VM’s NICs are set up as NAT and its isolating the VM’s and connections?

As someone not part of the ADHD community and just stopping by from browsing, I gotta say: your health is your right. The only reason your wife should have any say in something like this is if it has in the past it put her in danger or caused significant issues with your marriage like: “well, last time you took your meds you had awful mood swings that were hard for me to understand and deal with”, or “last time you took your meds you almost got fired, putting our financial safety at risk”, etc. etc. If there is no history of something like this deeply affecting her, than your health is your right and you should get your meds if you and your doctor feel it would help.

To add more context that (if i’m understanding the study correctly), higher levels of vitamin D in midlife lowers dementia risks.

“In a group of dementia-free individuals, higher serum 25(OH)D at early midlife was associated with lower tau deposition on brain-PET a mean of 16 years later. Low vitamin D in midlife may represent a potentially modifiable target to mitigate the risk of neuroimaging signs of preclinical dementia.”

Yah, I mean, thats true. I guess I was hoping the multi kernel thing would be more of a 1-time development effort that would work across phones, so once you got it set up it would help all phones accomplish the same thing. I’m not a kernel dev though so I have no idea in reality how this stuff actually works under the hood.

In the context of cell phones, it makes a lot of sense though, if you can pull it off. Android kernel for hardware support, mainline kernel for software support. Right now there’s very few phones that can run mainline linux and actually use the features people would expect from a phone, the rest use android kernels and hallium which gives good hardware support, but doesn’t support the software stack for gnome-mobile and all the ‘traditional’ linux software like flatpak apps, etc.

So you’re either stuck with a phone that doesn’t work to call, doesn’t have a working camera, etc, with mainline linux, or an android kernel that doesn’t a support the usual linux software stack and has to run something like ubuntu touch (ubports) which is great that it works, but because its ubuntu’s software stack and an android kernel, you can’t run things like gnome-mobile or other traditional linux software like flatpak apps like postmarketos can.

The main problem I’m finding is: ubuntu touch apps have to be specifically built for ubuntu touch, you can’t just grab a flatpak app like you can with postmarketos and a mainline kernel. So the app ecosystem is really lacking vs running a mainline kernel, but then of course your hardware won’t work like camera, volte, etc.

I just want a working linux phone that has access to the apps we’ve come to love, and I feel like running 2 kernels is the way to achieve that until we get more people mainlining hardware support for all the various cell phones.

Preemptively, one might question why someone would want traditional linux apps on a phone, but there’s a surprising amount of flatpak apps on flathub that are built with responsive design and scale fairly well to a phone screen/touch interface. So being able to use the same software you use on your desktop, on a phone is great!

What are your thoughts on this patch?

https://lwn.net/Articles/1038815/

I’ve been wondering about this since I saw this patch get posted https://lwn.net/Articles/1038815/

If this is possible to run multiple kernels then I would think it would be the best approach postmarketos could take, yes it would be less secure because of the old outdated android kernel, but we could possibly have working phones then. Like you said, use the android kernel for hardware access and mainline linux kernel for software support. As it stands right now, fairphone 5 is close with mainline, but still doesn’t really have working cameras and volte still doesn’t work so no calling in the US.

He forgot to blame Biden and the democrats.

As someone who wants to learn how to sharpen knives, you got any resource that are a good beginning? Or any suggestions for a beginner’s stone?

I don’t need to get crazy with it, its less of a hobby and more of a utility need, all of my kitchen knives are now dangerously dull.
