Here is a closer look at our journey of implementing encrypted VoIP Calls. The part 2 of this technical post sheds some light on the inner workings of it all.
"Fani: I have seen references about #sustainability in #Librem5. At the #FSFE we are also dealing with sustainability in software. What do you understand as a sustainable technology? [..]
Guido: For me, technology that has been produced with sustainability in mind allows the user to replace software and parts, as well as #repair the device over a long period of time without special equipment. [..] having free drivers is a requirement for sustainability."

Read the interview with Guido Günther, a developer at Purism, on how the free and convergent #PureOS system and the #Phosh graphical environment merge the phone and desktop experience into one, and how they benefit mobile device users.

Just testing a newer kernel for Jumpdrive on the #librem5. Serial console access in u-boot and the kernel is a must!
I just released a new version of "cast", which is my GNU/Linux (mobile first) app for viewing Swedish public service TV.
Get it while it is fresh: https://code.smolnet.org/micke/cast/releases/tag/v0.1.0
We are moved all of our repos from Gitlab.com to https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team
Please use this for the new home for all things Mobian Gitlab related.
📱 On my way to #Debconf22 and it was the first time I could show the QR code of a train ticket on #phosh's lockscreen to the conductor (had to resort to unlock ➡️ nautilus ➡️ evince so far).
For that I stitched together a lockscren plugin that leverages #evince's libevince. Hope the other tickets will works just as well tomorrow.
