Our battery vacuum cleaner #Xiaomi Dreame V10 (VVN5) stopped working for more than a few seconds and shows a #battery warning.

I thought it'd be easy to get a new battery, but doesn't seem so. I opened up the battery pack to find 7 Samsung INR 18650 cells and a PCB.

The cells are electrowelded to their connectors with two little dots. Something I couldn't do to replace them to #repair the pack.

So I asked a company specialized in refurbishing batteriy packs and they told me that they wouldn't do this, because once disconnected the PCB would shut down and stop working. They wouldn't be able to bring it back to life.

They can't offer me replacing the cells mechanically, because of - liability and warranty laws.

TIL there is a decentralized, federated fleamarket in the making, which I think is pretty cool!

I'm migrating from a #LibremKey to a #Nitrokey 3c. One OTP made it to my new Nitrokey and the rest still sits on the LibremKey. I updated my OS and installed the new #nitropy utility which can't handle the LibremKey.

#NitrokeyAuthenticator is still installed on my #Librem5 and while it is easy to use that way it is even easier from my desktop. Waypipe didn't work, but ssh librem5 NitrokeyAuthenticator -platform vnc opens an unprotected vnc port…

purism@pureos:~$ netstat -pnlt | grep Nitro (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.) tcp6 0 0 :::5900 :::* LISTEN 2019/NitrokeyAuthen

…which I can connect to to get an otp before migrating it to the new token.

And after disconnecting the ssh session the application keeps running and still can be connected to.

Not only can you take apart your #Librem5 🔧 but you can also inspect the schematics! 🔬

Bye, bye eMMC of my #yunohost. After letting it run a night I removed the eMMC and still found it working.

I will keep the image some time - just in case…

The #yunohost running this #microblogpub instance runs on a #RockPro64 in a #Pine64 nas case.

I started a year ago by installing it on an eMMC as a yunohost test, added two sata SSDs and now decided to simplify the setup by removing the eMMC boot medium.

Booting of the #SoftwareRaid configured on the SATA SSDs turned out to be less easy then I'd expected and I ended up preparing a #howto about doing this remote via ssh.

And that was my story. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. And don't spend your holiday money in Austria, we suck.

Serial connection via breakout board to my #Librem5 using a μArt serial-usb adapter.

While waiting for some press-fit headers I'm using poor mans press fit connection with nylon string.

#ShotOnLibrem5

I love the unique warm, almost analog look of the Librem 5 camera!

The image processor is still a work in progress but I would love it to retain that look in a way or another.

Letztes Jahr habe ich es nicht geschafft, aber dieses Jahr ist es fertig geworden: Unser #Gründach.

Inzwischen ist schon etwas Sedum über die Angelegenheit gewachsen.
