Hey all! I’ve been working hard to get the #Podcast up and running. I think I’m FINALLY at a point where I’m ready to go.

The first episode is already live and ready for you. It’s a little old now, due to setup, but it’s definitely still relevant!

Did you know @awai (the founder of @mobian) plays Guitar, and has album called “Dirty Greed” up on band camp? Neither did I! The sound is hella tight. Links are in the video description and on the Podcast Homepage.

The Podcast #video is available here: https://media.kaitaia.life/w/2waGiHKoqD7Jmg3Nw3Vq81

The Podcast #Homepage is: https://pebkac.show

You can find the #RSS feeds for #MP3; #AAC; #OGG; #FLAC and #Opus are all listed clearly on the main page.

If you just want to skip all the hassle, you can grab the MP3 feed here: https://pebkac.show/web/feed/mp3/

A huge shoutout and thank you, goes out to @awai, for giving me some of his precious time for an interview. Also, @linmob for helping me decide on direction, and giving some sound advice along the way.

I’d really love to hear what you think, and let me know if there’s anything you think I could do to make it better!

Thanks so much!

PS. Please forgive the ping and hashtag stuffing! After this post, I’ll never do it again (unless someone wants me too 😉)

Holy crap, you made it this far! Dayum, that was unexpected. Well, if you feel like it, boosts are really appreciated!

I wrote another article, this time about Reddit clients for Linux Phones. Hope you enjoy the read!

The PEBKAC show has a podcast with an interview of our founder @awai (https://social.kaitaia.life/notice/AByvoWP3C9PiHqKjYG).

Listen, if you want to find out the color of our founder's cat, or learn about his music taste (and band). But also plenty of information about Mobian. The interview starts at 7:20 into the audio.

Unfortunately https://pebkac.show does not work, but the podcast is e.g. at https://www.breaker.audio/the-pebkac-show/e/95059581.

What happened This Week in Matrix you ask? Well head over to https://matrix.org/blog/2021/10/08/this-week-in-matrix-2021-10-08 to find out! (Spoiler alert: 🚀 in more than one way)

I gave a short talk about #debian on mobile devices at the #DebianMiniDebconf in Regensburg last weekend (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/de/2021/MiniDebConfRegensburg#Saturday) and I could present the slides using a #librem5 with HDMI over usb-c connected to the presenter and phom (https://source.puri.sm/guido.gunther/phom) as a virtual mouse. Needed some hacks still to e.g. bring up #squeekboard to exit full screen but I think we can make this work out of the box in the future.

OwnCast is a free open source self-hostable streaming platform, basically a libre alternative to Twitch, and also currently testing Fediverse support too!

There's more info about it on its website at https://owncast.online

The project is looking for help running an OwnCast dedicated Fediverse account. (There is currently a bot at @owncast but this just provides automated posts about streamers.)

If you think you can help with this, or want to be involved with the project in any other way, get in touch with OwnCast here:

https://owncast.online/help/

The project lead is on the Fediverse at @gabek

If you want to preview how a post looks on Mastodon without anyone else seeing it, select a visibility of "Direct" and toot it. As long as you haven't @-ed anyone, only you will be able to see this post.

It will be a DM to yourself, which means it shows you exactly what the published post looks like, but keeps it hidden.

When you're happy to let others see it, use the "Delete & re-draft" option (in the post's "..." menu) to change the visibility to a more public setting. Then just toot it again, and it will be visible.

(If you want to make multiple changes, just keep DMing the post to yourself and redrafting until you're happy. When you're happy, redraft one more time and change the visibility to a non-direct setting.)

@jameshjacksonjr @manjarolinux@botsin.space We switched to EndeavourOS and prefer that now.

Auditor app version 30 released: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Auditor/releases/tag/30.

See the linked release notes for an overview of the improvements and a link to the full list of changes.

Love the light and dark themes/wallpapers provided by Olauncher! One of the best launchers on @fdroidorg@mastodon.technology. Also @GrapheneOS has given us stellar battery life on the Pixel 4a.
