Last Saturday there was a dust cloud over Lisbon from the Sahara desert.

At least I got to test that the #Librem5 #gps can work with mild desert dust clouds 😅

But it did took a bit longer than what I expected to get a fix.

And keeps growing 😃

Well that map has been getting bigger :)

Ridding a bicycle in Lisbon is not as bad as it was 7 or 10 years ago. There is a bit of more bicycle lanes.
And more car drivers are used to having bicycles on the city's streets. And I still have not gotten into an argument with a car driver, in the last month.

But you still need a certain attitude of: "I am not getting off the street because a car driver is pissed at me", to ride a bike in Lisbon.

#gnss #librem5 #lisbon #bicycles

Finally managed to get a new bicycle after moving back to #portugal so I started doing bike rides in the weekends again.

Riding a bike in Lisbon is a whole different beast, compared to where I lived before in Germany. With all the hills inside the city. Specially if you are out of shape :)

Also managed to record the bike ride with the #librem5 gps, using #gnss traces. Also #shotonlibrem5 :)

Santos Populares #lisbon 2023 :)

One of the many street fests on that night. Not everything on that night is about sardines:

recorded on #librem5

#librem5 _almost_ 13 hours uptime without suspend enabled. Wifi and mobile data off. When suspend is ready to be a default, which is almost, it will only get better.

Presentation about #debian #sid at #Mini #Debconf #Lisbon 2023

Trying out #tooth the #GTK4 + #libadwaita mastodon client, which is a fork of (the now archived) #tootle

It still does not have a release tag, so don't ship it yet :p
But it is looking good. Pretty much the features of tootle are already there, more seem to be in the works.

Setting up the account easier in tooth. And making a deb package for it is not difficult.

#LinuxMobile #LinuxOnMobile

#chatty 0.7.0-rc4 the multi protocol client (sms, matrix, xmpp) used with #phosh on multiple mobile devices, running on a desktop with multiple #matrix accounts and an #xmpp account.

It's not exactly a "big deal" to run it on a desktop, since one of the ideas with #linuxmobile is convergence, and being able to run the same software across devices (mobile, desktop, tablet, etc), to be able to do this sort of thing.

But it is still very cool to see :)

My #postmarketOS t-shirts have arrived ❗ 😺

So my #librem5 and my laptop now have matching stickers 😺
#shotonlibrem5

Decided to restart my old habit of doing a 10KM bike ride once a day. :)
Need a better bike cam and to refresh on my ffmpeg :D

First day back in Germany after two months in Portugal. It's warmer :D #shotonlibrem5

#hiking in #extremadura

Got to play with a #steamdeck from a friend of mine today for like 15 minutes. It's cool.

Booting a image from an SD card on a #librem5. In this case #postmarketos.
Got to play again with some work in progress code made by #librem5 developers. In this case a u-boot image that allows the #librem5 to boot from the SD cacrd. It can boot from the SD directly, but the video first I booted the #pureos image in the eMMC and then rebooted and booted #postmarketos from the SD card. Credits to the #librem5 devs and to @craftyguy for making the #pmos image for the SD card to test this :D

Got to play (as in only tested, and did none of the work), with a couple merge requests in #phosh to improve VPN support in #phosh
Top bar shows a VPN padlock symbol, and the openvpn connection worked. In this case using Librem One. And Duckduckgo thinks I am in the US.
One note: this was only for adding better support for VPN in #phosh, the VPN settings panels in #GNOME Control Center still need to be made adaptive. But again: “hey it is progress”. Kudos to @agx for this work!

As cenas que um tipo encontra a ver fotos antigas :D
Isto foi em #lisboa entre 2009 e 2011 com amigos.

EN: The stuff a person finds when looking at old pictures :D
This was in #lisbon between 2009 and 2010, with friends.

Adaptive version of #gnome #calendar running on #pureos on the #librem5. This is still a work in progress, some issues still need to be solved before releasing this. But again; “hey it’s progress” :D.
