Good news. Microsoft has decided finally to look yet again at our case and this time, we have gotten whitelisted. This means emails to hotmail and outlook are not blocked anymore.

"Holzhammermethode" - managed to rescue data off a failing NVMe in my server with a massive hammer (it helped to cool it to allow getting the data off the drive) 😀

It looks like no matter what we do, and who we speak to (or at least we think we do speak to) we get the same reply that ends any conversation with them. Even if we present evidence from their own system that our domain's reputation is good.

We don't know what to do anymore. We are thinking of just blocking them back at this time and pretend those domains don't exist. We know it will be hard as they are responsible for most traffic (including spam) but we see no other way.

Microsoft has spoken!

Hello,

As previously stated, your IPs do not qualify for mitigation at this time. I do apologize, but I am unable to provide any details about this situation since we do not have the liberty to discuss the nature of the block.

We regret that we are unable to provide any additional information or assistance at this time.

Best regards,

Outlook.com Deliverability Support

😡 So after yet another try, we ended up with the same template reply 😠

👾 Good news!👾

After bending down for google, they finally removed the stupid "Harmful software" warning from google's 'safe browsing' which is used by pretty much all mainstream browsers out there.

We did have to create a google account, verify ownership of the domain (meaning connect that account with disroot.org) and beg for forgiveness because of one public share link google did not like. There was no other way to do it which only shows how big players abuse their power.

The ultimate captcha! 🙃

Based on @craftyguy 's #osk-sdl work i added cryptsetup-initramfs support to the #librem5's image-builder so one can build #luks encrypted images too. There's more work needed for this to hit the factory floor but at least one can build own images with encryption once all is merged. The video shows the devkit since this a bit simpler to debug over serial:

"We didn't want to announce anything until we had modems and could test them in the Librem 5 to ensure they work but I’m happy to announce we just completed that testing and it works!"

SuperTuxKart played on a Librem 5 phone using an external keyboard and a 1080p TV. So this is this "mobile gaming" they keep talking about, huh? :D

#phosh 0.5.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.5.0

This adds more keybindings, "docked mode" (for usage with external screen/mouse/keyboard) and more fixes with multiple screens.

You need recent #phoc 0.4.4, #squeekboard 1.10.0 and #wlroots git master (or backported fixes) for this to work.

@agx @purism Things are moving fast, congratulations on the release 🚀

Specify Form-Factors in Your Librem 5 Apps

"As a user you also want to know which applications are relevant to run at a given time, so Phosh will let you run desktop-only applications only when the phone is docked."

#librem5 #phosh #privacy

@purism Built a simple virtual mouse for #phosh using #wlroots virtual-pointer protocol so i can navigate the pointer on the external screen attached to the #librem5 without having a physical mouse attached. Useful for e.g. presentations when you only connect a beamer.

@purism This is just a quick hack so far but we can now use #phosh's future 'docked' mode to only display 'adaptive' apps when undocked and all apps when docked based on their desktop file information:
