#phosh 0.10.1 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.10.1

Other changes will take some more time so let's release #convergence and #geoclue fixes, updated translations and automatic built-in display rotation.

See above release notes for the full list of changes and contributors.

If you have a hard time calling me in the next days it's because we're reworking the way incoming calls are handled in #phosh / #calls - so you can jump back and forth between locked and unlocked shell (please excuse the video quality). Now we need to fix make it look pretty.

TIL there's a standard for bundles with markdown + linked images in a single file. It's such a slam dunk idea, why is this not more commonly supported by markdown apps?

It feels very much like a decade+ of research and development, trial and error, blood, sweat and tears has borne some fruit today.

Read this post to find out how you can participate the new testnet - including with test coins and rewards.

Still plenty to do, but this is a real milestone towards perpetual data and secure access for everyone.

A few days ago I had an idea for a simple e-ink project and found Inkplate - an Open Hardware design with ESP32 and recycled Kindle displays.

Programmed it to wake up daily at midnight to download a PGM image over WiFi (https://gitlab.com/dos1/kartka) from a server which checks some stuff like trash collection schedule. Should last years on a single battery charge.

Check it out if you look for a super approachable way to build some e-ink stuff! https://inkplate.io/

Video: CryptPad is an open source privacy based cloud collaboration suite

CryptPad is built to enable collaboration. It synchronizes changes to documents in real time. Because all data is encrypted, the service and its administrators have no way of seeing the content being edited and stored.
CryptPad provides a full-fledged office suite with all the tools necessary for productive collaboration. Applications include: Rich Text, Spreadsheets, Code/Markdown, Kanban, Slides, Whiteboard and Polls.
In this video I explain why you'd want to use it, what it's key features are, and I do a tour around its user interface.

omg. OMG. **OMG!!!**

Okay I know this sounds like nonsense but oh my god! Captp + handoffs on three *independent* peers over tor onion services, with everyone chatting over goblin-chat!

Each user has their own address on the p2p network! *No* central server!

This is HUGE!

The Internet is About to Get A Lot Safer

On April 5, P2PB2B plans to list MaidSafeCoin. Trading for MAID will begin just as #MaidSafe prepares to launch the public shared testnet that demonstrates the remaining technical features necessary to prove the Safe Network’s viability.

The world’s first autonomous data network, The Safe Network is both a #decentralized internet and dApp platform.
