Needed to send some SMS with information I wanted to copy'n'paste from my #Librem14 desktop.

Switched on the #PiKVM to get remote access to my #Librem5 connected to it and found the PiKVM not starting. Disconnecting the hdmi-cable for a few seconds made it boot.

When connected to the PiKVM with a browser the KVM session shows an empty desktop, because top and bottom bars are still on the Librem5s display. To get access to them I connected via ssh and ran the following

export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 wlr-randr --output DSI-1 --off

This disables the phones display and moves the top and bottom bar to the external display - the PiKVM sending it to my browser session.

To cut'n'paste I tested PiKVMs Text menu:

copy some text from the local desktop (in my example a simple text editor)
open the Text menu in the browser session showing PiKVMs web interface
paste the text to the text boxed in the menu
press Paste button
confirm that I really want to paste the text
it's pasted to where the cursor is active on the remote computer - in my case the Librem5

Nice to know even though the same can be achieved through an ssh session to the Librem5 by running

export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 echo "here I pasted whatever I wanted to have in my remote session from my desktop to the ssh session" | wl-copy

Got my #PiKVM 🔗 out to make myself familiar with it.

To test it connected my #Librem5 to it and set it up to use the external screen as its only display.

It work just great!

#Millipixels is showing a picture of the beautiful case of the PiKVM - so at least part of this is #ShotOnLibrem5...

Is anybody in need of some for or other ? I've got two I do not need anymore: Essential and Mark 3 Rev C . I can be DM'd at Matrix or as @me . For this account DM does not work.

The question about the 'patina' of a #Librem5 used daily came up on the Purism forums. I liked the idea and thought I'd post my actual state with some pictures to sometimes look back to it.

I'm using mine now for more than a year as my only mobile phone.

#Librem5Patina

how? i2s audio input on a notebook 

The discussion about #RiscV and the #VisionFive 2 on the Purism Forum is really interesting.

There are people who would prefer #Openness over #Performance and #Convenience (I'm counting me in - otherwise I wouldn't use a #PinePhone and a #Librem5).

I feel like a VisionFive 2, with open source drivers, firmware and software would be good enough for me. (iliketurtles)

I immediately had to think about the MNT Reform and their research in Risc-V.

Maybe they would be willing to evaluate putting an existing SOC like the StarFive StarFive JH7110 onto a CPU board for the MNT Reform to offer an alternative to the pricy MNT RKX7 FPGA Module.

@mntmn@mastodon.social ?

If you are interested in #FLOSS and #OpenHardware you should read this article written by @nicolef@mastodon.social Nicole Faerber.

She jots down here insight on the industry and its history in just an answer to a discussion.

A great article by itself!

After playing around with phoc/phosh on my notebook I found that the media-keys in gnome didn't work anymore after closing #phoc and #phosh.

Later on I wasn't able to suspend my #Librem14 running #PureOS #Byzantium with #Gnome (3.38.5) on #Wayland by hitting Fn-Esc.

It turned out that the gsd-media-keys¹ daemon got confused over phosh grabbing and releasing the controls.

Stopping the daemon via killall gsd-media-keys and re-starting it using systemctl start org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.MediaKeys.target or executing /usr/libexec/gsd-media-keys &, disown %1 restored the functioning of the hotkeys.

Didn't file an issue, yet, because I don't know if this is reproducible in newer versions of Gnome. @agx@social.librem.one, maybe it'd be nice to add some information to the article in case people wonder why there hotkeys do not work after following those instructions?

¹this is the only documentation I found describing in short what the daemon does - any hints to newer official sources are welcome

Followed this exciting tutorial and found that #phosh showed the control for #shortwave on my notebook playing a station.

Amazing how simple it is to adjust aspects of the appearance!

Side effect: after closing phoc and phosh the media keys on my keyboard didn't work anymore to mute/unmute or stop/start shortwave.

Thanks @agx@social.librem.one for that nice tutorial - looking forward to the next part!

My #Librem5 had been delivered with a Redpine RS9116 M.2 Key E card for #Bluetooth and #Wifi.

I already owned two devices I wanted to use with my Librem5:

a bluetooth mouse to be used alongside with my nexdock360
a high quality noise canceling bluetooth headset I use for phone calls and sometimes to listen to music

Both didn't work well: the mouse wouldn't connect (Bluetooth LE only) and the headset connection was unreliable with a lot of stutter.

In newer Librem5s the SparkLAN WNFB-266AXI card is used for Bluetooth/Wifi. I exchanged the card to find out whether this would improve the situation and it did.

Both devices connect now, most of the stutter while listening to music is gone, the headset works for calls (but unusable due to bad quality) and my mouse connects and works fine.

@purism@librem.one wrote a blog post about the new card and made it available on their shop.

P.D. If ever a small golden pin falls out of your Librem5 after you opened it read this forum post.

"Physical cut-off switch for the microphone. Thank you Edward Snowden."

Who wrote this?

Could have been by @purism@librem.one about the #Librem5. Not the solution.

Danke @glsbank@ruhr.social ! Ich zitiere:

Die Standart-Einstellungen sehen die 2. Faktor Authenifizierung alle 90 Tage sowie bei Überweisungen, bei denen der Betrag 30 € überschreitet vor.

Grundlage hierfür sind die PSD2-Richtlinien.

Hier finden Sie weitere Informationen dazu:

$$https://www.gls.de/privatkunden/psd2/$$

Außerdem habe ich die Einstellungen Ihres Onlinebankings wie gewünscht angepasst.

Die 2-Faktor Authenifizierung habe ich sowohl bei der Anmeldung im Onlinebanking als auch für Überweisungen in jeder Höhe aktiviert.

Das bin ich von meinen bisherigen Banken nicht gewohnt! Danke für den guten Service!

Brief vom Netzbetreiber, bzw. Messstellenbetreiber: Ich bekomme gesetzlich verordnet eine "Moderne Messeinrichtung" für 20€/Jahr.

Mein alter, auch schon digitaler Zähler ist per #fhem angebunden und ich kann den Verbrauch nach den Zeiträumen, die ich benötige auswerten und nachträglich anhand der Logfiles nachvollziehen.

Der neue, kostenpflichtige Zähler, bietet mir jetzt eine Kommunikationsschnittstelle, an der ich den Durchschnittsverbrauch pro Tag/Woche/Jahr auslesen kann.

Außerdem gibt es keine Informationen, ob der Zähler weiterhin per Infrarot auslebar ist.

Ich zahle mehr, die Steuerung von Warmwasser/Heizung abhängig von der aktuellen Photovoltaikleistung ist nach Tausch evtl. kaputt. Kein Mehrwert, nur Aufwand.

Weil bei der DKB ChipTAN gerade durch die Hintertür kostenpflichtig geworden ist (die notwendige Girocard kostet bei Annahme der neuen AGB zukünftig Gebühren), habe ich zur GLS Bank gewechselt. Kostenlos geht es bei der DKB nur noch mit einer Android oder iOS App für Push-Nachrichten.

Die @glsbank@ruhr.social bietet übrigens auch kostenlos eine zusätzliche Karte für HBCI an.

Die lokale Sparkasse hat SMS-TAN abgeschafft und ich kann nicht mehr auf das Online-Postfach dort zugreifen. Ich müsste dafür eine App für Push-Nachrichten verwenden, die auf meinem einzigen Android Gerät mit LineageOS nicht funktioniert. Alternativen ohne kostenpflichtige Girocard: Keine.

Ein getrenntes Gerät für die offline Erzeugung der TANs in einem Chip auf der von der Bank zur Verfügung gestellten Karte überzeugt mich eher als die Verwendung eines Mobiltelefons mit zumeist permanentem Internet-Anschluss und ständig neu veröffentlichten Sicherheitslücken.
