SailfishOS is a (non-Android) Linux phone that may be viable right meow!
SailfishOS runs fine (well?) on the Sony Xperia or the Jolla C2.
I just bought one a few weeks ago, but I haven’t had time to fully set it up yet (my house has been falling apart). I’m in the US with Mint Mobile and calls and SMS work. Camera works. Battery life is pretty decent. They have an Android compatibility layer that integrates pretty well into Sailfish. I was able to install F-Droid on it and then Bitwarden and Molly (Signal client) so far.
One of the more trickier apps I may need to install is Tailscale… but I’m thinking maybe I can switch to Netbird and use their reverse proxy and remove the need to install a VPN client on the phone altogether.
I’m not a heavy smartphone user, so for me I’m thinking this might be a viable path to take.
p.d. Yes, you can bring up a terminal. :)


Is this still the case?


Yeah, 100% agree.
While not the ideal right now, I think Codeberg shows promise.
They’re working on federation: https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation
Although, sure, it doesn’t seem to be their #1 priority. However, compared to GitHub this is a great step.
Also, again compared to GitHub or GitLab, Codeberg gives me more confidence because they don’t seem to be a commercial organization: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/what-is-codeberg/#what-is-codeberg-e.v.?
So “getting bought” or having to “please investors” seems less likely.
We need federation and open standards, 100% agree. GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc are on the opposite side of that mission. SourceHut’s answer to federation is email… which I think most people will not like.
I’d love to hear about a source forge that is:
No, really, I’d like to know. Codeberg is the only I know that approximates that list.
Waffling on moving to Codeberg because it’s not 100% perfect means supporting GitHub and drops the possibility of federated forges to 0%. Moving to Codeberg makes the future of federated forges go up to greater than 0%.


Yes, yes, yes! It’s increasingly looking like Codeberg is going to be the destination lots of people will move to.
Also, direct link: https://www.bookstackapp.com/blog/project-migrated-to-codeberg/
I’ll share more details about where the Ghostty project will be moving to in the coming months. We have a plan but I’m also very much still in discussions with multiple providers (both commercial and FOSS).


I was able to sign up for netcup without any hassle! 🙌 No passport requirement.
Thanks!


I need to start doing this… I think I recently got flagged for not using AI enough…


Let’s see! 🤞
Your order will be checked by one of our employees shortly. You will then receive further information on the status of your order by e-mail.


I’m in the US and when I tried migrating from DO to Hetzner, I got asked to upload my passport to prove I’m not spam or something. Same experience with OVH.
Is this a thing for all European hosting companies? I ended up finding some Canadian hosting that would just let me sign up and pay like normal.


Things were unique and fun. That’s just not true anymore. Every new software update adds shit that you didn’t ask for and don’t want (AI, ads, removal of user freedom).
Amen. Every time I hear about a new tech product or startup or conference, now all I see are ads, subscription traps, and generally just people looking for new ways to fuck me.
(And I don’t like to be fucked by anyone except Mrs. Wallace)


Stop it, Patrick! You’re scaring him! Fairphone, Jolla, SailfishOS, GrapheneOS! 👻

Yeah… I’m gonna wait for 15.1…


There are two types, by map and token to conform to different usecases.
Ahh, ok… I’m seeing the docs.
ShareType: type of share
token: token-based share (do not require user authentication)
map: map-based share (requires user authentication)
Ahh, ok. So whether you need authentication or not.
There are also two different storage types, csv and files.
And the docs for that…
CSV
One CSV file containing one row per sharing config, separated by ; and containing header with columns from above.
If given, properties are stored in JSON format in CSV.
Files
File-based configuration store is using encoded PathOrToken as filename for each config. File contains the data stored as "dict" in binary Python "pickle" format (same is also used for item cache files).
So if you want plaintext vs binary storage.
you have to edit your config file with the ‘[sharing]’ section.
Would you mind sharing your config, pretty please. 🙏


Yeah, I’m aware of Headscale. I even think it’s cool that Tailscale isn’t trying to kill them: https://tailscale.com/opensource#encouraging-headscale


Tailscale is Canadian
Ah, nice. I actually didn’t realize that. They are also open source friendly https://tailscale.com/opensource I don’t hate Tailscale, btw. They seem nice.
But, I like Netbird lets you self-host the server components. And, an important feature for me, is that Netbird doesn’t require me to create an account with Big Tech to use the service. Right now I created a dummy account with GitHub just to use Tailscale, Netbird just allows me to create a username and password. E-Z P-Z. No extra hoops to jump through.
After switching to Netbird, I’ll be able to get completely off of GitHub.
I didn’t get the C2 from Jolla. I got a third party device from a third party seller.

Sony Xperia 10 III from Jolla Devices.
The Xperia 10mk3 is one of the better (or the best?) supported SailfishOS device.
