@p @martijnbraam @Moon 'aHR0' seems like a boring way to start a message. If anyone wants to finish the decoding, you can use

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_128

(I suspect there's something else going on tho)

@p @martijnbraam @Moon
Upside down
211133 reverse stop
(So it's not upside down)

@p @martijnbraam @Moon
211214 start code B
121124 a
231113 H
231131 R
123122 0
(What if it's upside-down?)

@p @martijnbraam @Moon
211214
121124
231113

I think maybe it was made with a barcode font, maybe the character spacing is wrong

(Each character is 3 black bars and 3 white bars, but it seems like every third white bar is longer than it should be)

@p @martijnbraam @Moon code 128B?

@bart can we get some "pinephone vs librem 5 vs pinephone pro" comparisons?
It's been a while since I've tried plasma mobile; might be nice to know if it's usable or still jerky.

@Jonius Well, #UbuntuTouch's #lomiri runs on mir (a #wayland compositor), which as of v2.5 should support the virtual keyboard protocol extension. So, you would need to enable that for wvkbd, then find some way to open (and close) the keyboard.

@dheadshot @proycon hmm, maybe you're referring to https://todo.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-tickets/257 an issue with phone number handling that was fixed in the last few months.

@craftyguy @proycon #phosh would be the most plausible secondary platform (wvkbd already shares a lot in common with #squeekboard, and phosh has a 'keyboard open' button (which does dbus things?))
An interested party could probably implement that interface to launch and kill wvkbd instead.

Preparing another patch for the swipe-typing keyboard (#wvkbd on #SXMO on the #pinephone)

Any thoughts on the color choice? #postmarketOS @postmarketOS

@wisemonkey (that awkward moment when I've been using it for close to two months now). Really the visual feedback is a huge help for usability. Still working out a few tweaks/bugs here and there.

Swipe-typing with #wvkbd under #SXMO on a #pinephone.
@proycon

@martijnbraam Some time ago, I used #darktable to remove the green hue from the #GC2145 (#pinephone front camera) pictures, like so: color calibration
Red: input red 1.0 input green 0 input blue 0
Green: input red 0 input green 0.8 input blue 0.2
Blue: input red 0 input green 0.2 input blue 1.2

Never figured out how to convert that to a #megapixels #colormatrix...
Any tips?

Upgraded my #alpinelinux server to 3.15, with a new release of #nextcloud and #postgresql...

Had issues with the postgresql upgrade, but (thankfully?) alpine still supports the older version, so I can cross the #pg_upgrade bridge at some later point.

@samir the only trouble I've had so far is with sending attachments. Looks like you have #mod_http_file_share enabled (I'm not on trunk, but could use community #mod_http_upload for #XEP0363). I think this means the sysadmin could view any attachment? So I would want to wait for #XEP0454 in #prosody?

Started setting up an #XMPP server (#prosody #prosodyIM). Next steps: figure out/fix auto encryption in #dinoIM, allow attachments, store 1 week of message history. And for the later future: figure out audio/video calling? (From what I've read, we can do that without #SIP)

@pcy never been used (battery separator still in place). are you interested?

In defense of apps: Create an experience! Use existing software! Make it work according your own desires, but give others the ability to easily try it out.

IDK if that's a good philosophy, but I might try it.
