@thelinuxcast I view many aspects of on a spectrum and I'm glad that /#Meta is acknowledging the success and potential of . I would hope this would also entail them providing resources to improve and expand it in a way that benefits the broader community. If anyone wants to boycott their instance, they fortunately have a simple way to block it that is already baked in.

@mntmn What is the chassis depth? I'm curious if it'll fit inside a 450mm enclosure.

The USPTO has issued proposed rules that will make it harder for everyone in open source to challenge bad patents. Let them know you want a fair and open system for all, where anyone can seek a review of an invalid patent.

Some interesting research from my alma mater: you can somewhat reliably transmit covert voice-band frequencies toward popular home assistant devices that are near passband cutoff freqs.

:openstreetmap: I just installed StreetComplete and I’ve already made more than 150 contributions to map my neighborhood!

It’s such a good example of an open-source and well-designed mobile app that makes it easy for everyone to contribute to the digital commons.

@nixCraft I don't have a favorite language for my projects because the implementation depends on the requirements and not vice versa.

@snazzyq It's interesting how the appearance keeps changing to make them look more daunting/capable/rugged, yet they have embedded bumpers within the front fascia in such a way that a small collision would cost $1000-2000 to fix.

YMMV, but I've always had unlimited data tethering by using ( is my current carrier, if that matters). I'm supposed to have a 5GB monthly tethering cap, but the Google Fi app reports 0B at the start of every day and does not ever appear restricted even if I exceed 5GB in one day.

@dos I'm curious how many GPS satellites were within line-of-sight of your phone when you were testing this. I haven't worked with GNSS in a while, so I can't recall how WAAS stations are accounted for within GPS sensor data in Linux. I ought to reach out to some old colleagues for a refresher on how we handled it in our applications.

Also, FWIW: As a user, it would be beneficial to select between local/online/fallback GNSS data modes.

MNT RCM4 hopefully done, ordering samples now! this adapter lets you use CM4-style modules as processors in the MNT Reform laptop. my current favorite is the BPi CM4 with Amlogic A311D.
