I've had a fix!

I've found the right incantation to enable the right agps on the #pinephone to get a fix in a reasonable amount of time (it was almost instantaneous, but the phone had been outside with gps but not agps-msb enabled for quite some time)

The script I've used to enable everything is:

#!/bin/sh

mmcli -m any --location-enable-3gpp
mmcli -m any --location-enable-gps-nmea
mmcli -m any --location-enable-agps-msb
mmcli -m any --location-status
mmcli -m any --location-get

(of course the last two are just to see that everything is setup correctly).

Now, I need to find out why Maps believes that the location services are disabled, and Settings is telling me that they are enabled…

Those trying to update their @mobian #pinephone for the first time after receiving it, should carefully read our post on the pitfalls during this first update. There are a few complications: blog.mobian-project.org/posts/…

Thank you for openly and clearly communicating about these issues!

in reply to Mobian

If needing to reflash the OS to the phone, which image was it that was installed on the Pinephone Community Edition? Would images.mobian-project.org/pine… be the right image to use?

huge thanks for making #FOSDEM2021 happen! It was really well put together and felt like a conference in its own special way :)



(mordor meme: one does not simply walk into an haberdasher)

to buy matching ribbon during a lockdown, no, one must make it from self fabric. finicky, slippery, self fabric.

And then they reopen the shops in advance, but meanwhile the hat is almost done

(picture of a witch hat with ear covers, in dark green herringbone fabric and gold lining).

The idea and instructions for the hat are from Bernadette Banner: youtube.com/watch?v=bwDo4R6wtu…

I may have a thing for hats :D


For some reason, I had to send a screenshot to a friend, and the context was #pinephone related.

So (after I had sent the serious screenshot done with import from ImageMagick) I took my pinephone, opened the Megapixels app, took a blurry picture of the screen, opened dino-im (which does not really fit in the screen yet, since I'm still using the packaged version in #mobian), tried to send the picture, realized that the 15+MB .tiff file would have been blocked by the server, opened the terminal, installed imagemagick, converted the .tiff in jpg, sent the jpg with dino-im, and of course it was rotated 90° from what I expected it to be.

Definitely ready as a daily driver, right? :D

(btw, this is just me being silly, it's not ready, but things *are* improving)

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

That sounds great. I read from an other user too that he tried everything and Mobian was the best. I tried only Sailfish so far and UBports, saw that pine actually opted for Manjaro as default.
in reply to ictus

I've been using only mobian because I'm otherwise involved in Debian, but I have a friend who has been distro-hopping a bit and they also agree that mobian is currently the best.

They also say that manjaro + plasma looks nicer and feels closer to android, however, even if it works slightly worse, which can explain why they chose it as the default image (I guess also hoping that by the time those phones will reach their customers it will have improved too)




And dere vill be anodder #hat

This is just an unlined mockup in cotton, but I have some leftovers of dark green wool from my old girl genius costume and they are already on my cutting table :)

A few days ago I was looking at some scraps of bark from what will become a new distaff and parts of my new backstrap loom. Then I was looking at the white wool on my other new distaff.

And well, this happened:

currently sitting on the balcony, wrapped in black fabric for at least one week, and I'll see what happens.

From what I've read, I suspect that the worst (but quite likely) thing that can happen is some shade of pink.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

today it has spent the afternoon in the solar oven (I think it reached around 80°C, and I forgot to take pictures), then it was filtered, and now there are 20 g of wool in it… tomorrow I'll see what horrible shade of pink is happening :)





compared to pretty much all the alternatives, yes. It's the Democracy of OSs - the least worse. There is, of course, plenty of room for improvement and thankfully there's a large, smart group of people with the ability to do so and diverse motivations and intentions (which is the best we can hope for). Similar to functional democracies (as opposed to faux- or dysfunctional democracies).





I feel like bookmarks are good but insufficient. What I really want is something more akin to a personal Wayback Machine.

Does anyone know of a tool to do that easily? I could write a web scraping tool easily but I feel like this must already have been done.

Casual reminder, out of nowhere, that no, we are not entering a new decade on January 1, 2021. Decades don't work like that. If we called it "the 202nd decade" it would. But decades start on the 0 year and end on the 9, because we don't count them ordinally..

(In the same way, the 1900s and the 20th century are slightly different!)


in reply to Diego Roversi

no. the first decade started on 1 and ended on 10.

The 0s only had nine years, it happens.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

btw, every year we are entering a new decade, it's just not one with a nice name.


Ciao a tutti.

Currently watching: the loop between talks at #DebConf20

Which, this time, isn't just sponsor logos, but has pictures from old #DebConf, messages from this year's attendees, and this:

So ... in less than four hours #DebConf20 starts at your home. You can watch and follow everything online through the stream on debconf20.debconf.org/schedule…

TL;DR no, you don't need to dry-clean that.



TIL the term #historyBounding, for when you take inspiration from historical styles and put them into your everyday clothing.

Which is what I've been doing the last few years, but it's nice to know it has a name/hashtag :) .

My shiny new¹ #solarOven, waiting for the sun to reach it.

Sadly I only have direct sun in the afternoon, so I can't cook lunch with it, but I'm making solar cooked apples for dessert this evening.

It's made of lasercut plywood with aluminium foil on one side, plus acrylic glass to completely close it, and easily disassembles flat. I still need to make a fabric cover (with a mylar layer sandwitched in) for added insulation, to make it perform a bit more like a box oven, while still having the portability advantages of a panel one.

¹ FSVO new: I've had the panels laser cut just before the lockdown, but it took me quite some time to fix some model errors and apply the tinfoil.



suddenly, I feel the need for a hot glue gun with the TS-100 open firmware.
in reply to clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛

I read about that and assumed that it was using the 32 bit microcontroller variant of RISC-V, not the one that runs a full OS etc.

So not very different from the TS-100?

I didn't look into the details, however.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

Maybe it's an embedded thing with no OS, but using a whole CPU was still surprising to me. I thought the complexity of a soldering iron amounted to a bimetal switch and a relay, but I'm happy to be educated on the delicate details of the perfect solder!




Instead of endlessly composing and deleting toots regarding frightening world events, I want to put out a single toot today.

If everything feels like too much, it's okay to step away for a moment and gather yourself and your strength, and help others do the same. I hope that you all are well, and you are able to find a moment (hopefully more!) of respite today.



Dear #rpg playing fediverse,

I haven't played any rpg for more than a decade because of LackOfGroupError, and now I've been vaguely thinking it could be a good time to try to start one campaign via jitsi/videoconferencing.

Any recommendation on a game system we could use? Is Fate the current freely licensed cool things to do? (also, where does one start from for that? core? accelerated? condensed?) or is there anything else I should look into?

#rpg
in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

Thanks for both answers!

We have a jitsi server (where we do turn the webcam off for regular chat nights), but then I realized that on the same server there is also mumble, we've just not really used it :D
OTOH, I think that the ability to turn the webcam on as needed can be useful.

For dice, it depends on how much the people involved will be fine with going for a storytelling-heavy approach (then we could keep the fun of rolling physical dice with the webcam on and trust each other); if they prefer a more D&D approach we'll probably need an app.

I'll look also into fiasco

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

I've used Mumble with my campaign for the last six months and we've not had any issues. Solid, concrete dependability with no hiccups. I'm honestly surprised that more people don't use it.





"Do or do not. There is no 'try'." attempts to be inspirational, but is hilariously bad advice for many people. "Perfect or worthless" is a stupid dichotomy and its internalization prevents many from living up to their potential. Let people try, fail, and try again, especially in creative pursuits like writing, drawing, and coding.

(I'd recommend reading also the rest of the thread)





Apparently, this is one of the exercises you're supposed to do when learning #watercolour

My current (and first and only :D ) set: a student-grade pre-assembled one that a) suits me just fine, since I'm still at the stage of “first attempts” b) costed about 1 eur less than a similar empty box from the same store, and appears to be practical and of good quality.

(The pink looking thing in the upper right corner is copper, and while it's technically watercolour I've bought it for calligraphy.)



I've been looking for an #origami document folder (two sides with flaps, and the covers have an internal space for more sheets) that I found a few ages ago, but seems to have disappeared from the internet :(

instead, I found this #envelope for #snailMail, which looks extremely cute :)

barf.cc/Snailml.pdf

I wonder how practical it would be for a real letter :)





Happy 10th Birthday Friendica!

Ten years ago the 1st commit to the git repository of Mistpark was made by Mike Macgirvin, a project that since has become Friendica accumulating some 27.000 commits contributing the work of more then 250 people from all around the world.
Friendica themes from 2010 to 2020Mistpark and Friendica themes from 2010 to 2020
Together we have build a social media platform that had many faces over the years. It has grown from a decentralized communication platform into an integral part of the Fediverse and Federation. Allowing its users to interact with their friends and family across the borders of nodes, projects and physical distance outside the world of data-harvesting corporations.

Thank you Mike and everybody else who has contributed their time to the project over the years! And while we are preparing the 2020.06 release of Friendica, lets have a big party to celebrate ten years of this wonderful part of the free social web.
