So I followed instructions and installed the OSM Scout Server including the Map Manage to download maps.

Downloaded the stuff the server asked for and quit the program.

In PureMaps selected the offline profile and ... yes, the scout server got started via dbus in the background.

Switched off internet connection and tried offline maps: Just works.

Next roadbike trip using my ahead - this time with offline maps.

Shout out to @rinigus : Such a great work!

The nicest roadbike routes leave as much civilisation as possible behind just taking the pavement to roll on with them. Often best routes have gaps in mobile reception.

I remembered PureMaps on my way back and installed the flatpak when I came back. Flawless.

Fast.

Did I mentione already that it is blazing fast compared to gnome-maps?

But still online.

But already the introduction on the first start shows information about offline use.

I took out the (wondering how not-so-hot it was in ~30°C bright sun) and unlocked the screen and found my prepared map with a marker for my position on it.

I absolutly didn't expect this to happen, because I didn't waste any minute, yet, trying the gps beside once trying to get some data just to make sure it's really built-in and somehow working.

But gnome-maps is painfully slow and absolutly useless without internet connection.

I just made two exciting discoveries using my .

I postponed any work on using maps and navigation until just the moment I needed a map on a trip in an unknown region.

I started gnome-maps and painfully slow moved the map to the place I knew I would be in doubt about taking the right turns - just in case.

And really, there's been unexpected constructions in the road and I had to go another way and had problems finding back to my planned route.

If you wanted to know why I'm thankful I don't need to replace my car, and if I did, it wouldn't be with a modern one, here's why: themarkup.org/the-breakdown/20

...tooting using #Tootle on a #Librem5 using an old #Nintendo wireless keyboard. yeah, very small keyboard, but if you need a bt keyboard and find an old box of this for some bucks (got mine new for 15 €), buy it! childish but very nice build quality and comes with stand. it was sold as part of "Pokémoon Typing Adventure" - "Tastenabenteuer" in germany.

Das dünnere Rohr habe ich auf die Länger der zwei Bruchstücke des Plastikstabs zugeschnitten. Das dickere (später äußere) Rohr etwas kürzer als das längere Teilstück.

Das dickere Rohr zuerst in die längere Tasche, dann das dünnere Rohr hinein. In die andere Seite das andere Teilstück des dünneren Rohres.

Dickeres Rohr über den Stoß der beiden dünneren schieben: Fertig.

Stuhl repariert.

Geld und Material vor dem Müll bewahrt.

Die Stühle haben ein solides Gestänge aus Aluminium. Nur diese eine Stange entpuppt sich nach dem Aufschneiden des Bezugs auf der Rückseite mit einem Lötkolben als schnöder Plastikstab. ?

Wegwerfen oder ? Auf einen Versuch kommt es an.

Meinen Plan über die Bruchstelle eine Stück Rohr zu schieben habe ich im Baumarkt verworfen und beschlossen lieber gleich neue Stangen zu kaufen.

Nach Prüfung von Preis und Stabilität sind es Stahlrohre geworden.

. Zwei Campingstühle vom Discounter sollen auch mit.

Leider sind sie noch von der letzten Reise defekt: Die Querstange ist an beiden Stühlen dort gebrochen, wo der Kopf der sitzenden Person ist.

Die beiden seitlichen Stangen, die den Bezug der Lehne halten, werden dadurch beim Sitzen zur Mitte gezogen. Das ist nicht nur unbequem im Rücken, sondern belastet die Stangen am unteren Ende viel stärker als an einem Stuhl ohne defekt.

"Grund für die Verzögerungen sind die zusätzlich erforderlichen Grenzkontrollen: Seit Großbritanniens EU-Austritt müssen britische Pässe bei der Einreise in die EU gestempelt werden - wie die von anderen Drittstaaten auch.

...

Außenministerin Liz Truss, die sich derzeit in einem parteiinternen Wettbewerb, um das Amt des britischen Premiers bewirbt, wies zurück, dass der Brexit mit den Wartezeiten zu tun habe."

🤪 Connected the with a nearly empty to the usb charger, opened the back, took out the battery, put in the already charged other battery, closed it - ready to go!

No need to shut down the phone. Really nice!

My extra arrived and I put it into the no name charger I bought to charge it.

It'll take some time to charge it until full (calculated with complete ignoring voltage and loss it should charge from 0mAh to 4500mAh in 7.5 hours), but this allows me to use the phone on battery while charging the backup battery.

Nice to know I can run out of battery once away from home without loosing connectivity.

If you do not swipe often enough down on the lock screen page to admire the top menu of the lock screen you'll get locked out!

The keypad for entering your unlock pin or passphrase will vanish until you swipe down the top menu to worship it at least one time.
