@johns We still need this issue resolved before there is a new layout that uses the modifier keys though: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/squeekboard/issues/170
@johns It looks like the code to add modifiers has merged, but just hasn't been packaged and released yet: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/squeekboard/merge_requests/306
Announcing the Purism Librem Mini https://puri.sm/products/librem-mini/ Small form-factor mini-PC that puts freedom, privacy and security first.
8th gen quad-core i7 processor, up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory.
With #PureOS, #PureBoot (coreboot +Heads) and #Librem Key support.
@johns Soon, but not yet. Coming in the next release I think.
I was able to install @micahflee 's dangerzone package on my #Librem5 and w/ some QT tweaks the main screen fits (other screens need more work). It uses an amd64 Docker image so I need an arm64 image to actually clean docs, but it was nice that I got as far as I did without much effort.

In retrospect, this Heads talk is probably the driest presentation I've ever given. Sorry about that folks, next one will be better.
I just realized that #SCALE18x marks the 10th year I've attended and spoken at SCALE. My first presentation was an Introduction to Forensics talk at SCALE8x.
It looks like the latest #Librem5 kernel update reduced active power consumption by another 100-140mA based on my own measurements. I hear there are a lot more improvements in the pipeline once we switch from 5.3 to the 5.6 kernel.

If you are going to #SCALE18x this weekend check out my talk on Saturday at 15:00 titled "Heads: Tamper-evident Firmware with User-controlled Keys" #infosec https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/18x/presentations/heads-tamper-evident-firmware-user-controlled-keys
@jk07301029 I'm running some errands and thought you might find the power estimations interesting. I also use the wifi killswitch when I'm out since it saves a lot of power.
@johns I came to drop some Metallica song puns, but was pleased to see the band was way ahead of me.
@jk07301029 I don't know of a particular # of hours that is set as a goal, instead we are approaching it like you might expect: tackle the lowest-hanging fruit one at a time w/ maximum battery life as the goal. Whether you should invest in an external powerbank depends on so many personal factors (and battery life with your use case) it'd be hard for me to say.
@jk07301029 I've seen steady progress with updates here and there adding another 10-20 minutes each time. There are still a ton of optimizations (like auto backlight adjustment) we haven't finished yet so in many areas it's still running at 100%, but even w/ that and the 2000mAh battery I'd say about 3 hrs. I work from home so it's mostly charging on a stand I 3d printed next to my desk while I work.
It seems to last when I go out and run errands, go out to dinner, etc.
I saw a Sonic truck up the block completing the fiber endpoint that they ran past my house last weekend. I was so excited I went up to give them some praise and see if they wanted coffee or anything. #gigfiber #itshappening
@mrbaraban You can use gsettings on the command like just like with a regular Gnome desktop, or install Eye of Gnome and open an image with it, then tell Eye of Gnome to set the image as the desktop background.
