@JF Thanks! The performance seems to be only slightly better than my RPi4 using USB3 enclosures, I wonder if BTRFS on MDADM needs more attention for it to improve?

@thewk The people at Ubuntu Touch on JingPad
https://t.me/UT_on_JingPad are very helpful for all this stuff!

@Gina Yeah, they don't do well with rugs, specifically ones with threads on the ends. Mine gets clogged with cat toys sometimes but is otherwise fun on proper carpet.

@rusty @thelinuxEXP @puyo That's it, I'm going full #Stallman and just using lynx or W3M to browse the internet! In all seriousness though, is there a non-spyware, non-tracking search engine that actually functions well? Or do I just need to use #tor for searches and bookmark everything I need?

@thelinuxEXP Looks like I'm switching back to Firefox, the least bad browser. Is the #DuckDuckGo browser still happening? That one might not be terrible.

@avery I think it may be used for transfer only in the future so power via the keyboard port and data via the PinePhone port. However that requires usb C role negotiation to work flawlessly beforehand so it doesn't deliver too much power and fry the device. So best to just say don't do it for now.

@JF Will you be putting up a guide and parts list for this? My current RPi 4 NAS with USB storage is good but the throughput is not great, I imagine moving to the x1 pci slot on this would be a huge improvement.

#plasmamobile has improved greatly in the half a year since I used it. It now has an unrecoverable crash an hour after installation rather than within minutes! I really don't know why it's still so unstable, it literally breaks if you use widgets at all. Back to #phosh I guess . . .

@thelinuxEXP give Strange New Worlds a go, it's a lot better than Picard and feels a lot more like real Star Trek. If you haven't seen Deep Space 9, I highly recommend it. The first 2 seasons aren't the best, it really picks up on season 3 though.

@thewk Proof we are living in a simulation?

@thewk Same, it's really impressive what people have been able to accomplish on minimal hardware. I just wish that #ManjaroARM would fix the sound server bug I'm experiencing so I could use my #PinePhonePro as my daily driver not the regular.

@thewk First reply toot from #tootle on my #pinephone! The interface is a little laggy so it occassionally zooms to the bottom of the feed but otherwise is a nice application.

@bitwarden Is this Hashicorp Vault alternative in the works by any chance?

@tbernard Is there an archive of this? Also did it mention E2E?

@alto We use Matrix at my work for the non-work conversations every day. It works very well but the sync need improving, which I hear is in the works at the moment.
