Nice, that’s great to hear!
Ah, too bad! But thanks, that’s good to know.
Not gonna lie, I’m a tiny bit jealous of you 😄 It’s gotten to a point where having to use Android is a constant, low-intensity source of stress just because of how closed and privacy-unfriendly it has become.
Thanks, that is a very kind offer!
The secific app is xdrip+. But it’s probably not possible to test it out, because starting/working is not the issue, the issue is making sure that it has a 100%% stable background connection with my blood glucose sensor, recovers from failures, restarts in the background on closure,… Eventually, I’ll get my hands on a linux handheld and try for myself :)
That being said - how’s your experience with Sailfish been so far?
Ah, true. I honestly think we need to get to a point where smartphones intended for use with linux are profitable / widespread.
But that’s a catch 22 with UX and HW both being required for companies to invest in the other.
Again for Germany, it’s handled by a single provider, and they absolutely do utilize CoCo tech. (Source: I work at one of the involved companies, sorry, not going to be more specific)
In the case of Germany: confidential computing tech ensures all data is encrypted in storage and in memory, shielded even against data center employees / hosting providers. I imagine that’s become the standard for most countries.
Make sure you choose a proper open source one, else the app might collect data as well…
They don’t let you anymore, do they? There was a whole controversy about the Zenfone 12
Just waiting for the pain to be enough to switch to Linux on a phone.
Main drawbacks right now:
When we need to know each others location, we share it via element / matrix. Our own server, so no third party.
Happens maybe four times a year.
(Also, do you just always have location services enabled?? IMO it’s a battery drain, I pretty much only enable it for this and while I need to navigate)
Ah, nice. In that case just beware to move /var/lib/private/conduwuit to /var/lib/private/continuwuity, not /var/lib/conduwuit to its counterpart
Ah crap, forgot to ping you! Sorry!!
Yep, easy decision now. Migration went smoothly, just had to move the state dir and chown it to continuwuity:continuwuity. Might be different on docker though, no idea, sorry 😄
Update: seems to me tuwunel is drama waiting to happen. See updated post for details.
No, even QR I can only accept as an option, as in completely optional. I’m out and about without a phone quite frequently.
Yes, completely agree. It seems that the matrix foundation could easily take a different path to allow the community to flourish and third-party servers to have a much easier time. Since I’m not federated, I wouldn’t even mind if whatever fork I’ll end up on eventually says “fuck this, we’re not following synapse specs any more”.
But yeah, I am sure selling premium accounts on matrix.org is what will save the matrix ecosystem… 🤦🏼♀️
Understandable.
Hm, fair enough, I actually have very little experience with XMPP. (Only through prosody, which I personally am on a war footing with.) From a cursory glance, I also couldn’t find an Android lient I’d really want to use, but of course that is subjective.
In any case: I have a matrix server up and running, and it has been a pain to get friends and family on there; I do not want to do all of that again with a new protocol/clients. As long as it’s sustainable, I want to stay with the same server installation, and that means choosing a conduwuit for me.
Using a docker container provides you with the exact amount of extra protection as using a VM: zilch.
Only advantage is you can use other people’s config easily.
