  • Jolla Phone Pre-order Voucher

  • SailfishOS has been around since 2013. It's based on an even older Nokia project (from before they got bought and sold by Microsoft). Since then there has been a number of devices running it. In recent years that's mostly been the Jolla C2, a rebranded low spec device by Turkish manufacturer Reeder, and certain Sony phones, such as the Xperia V III. The latter doesn't ship with SFOS but you can purchase a €50 license and install it yourself.

    There are also community ports that are unofficial and don't have all the features (Android app support is missing for example) but run on some other devices. The problem in ARM world is that OS's need to be tailored to the device (for the most part). It's not like on intel or amd PCs. So if you want to run it on your Samsung or whatever, then you can do that. It's just a lot of work.

  • It's somewhere inbetween. For the most part you have a standard Linux userland. The packaging format for example is just RPM. But the shells compositor can currently only properly display Android and qt apps. There has been some discussion at the last community meeting (where the devs answer questions) about improved Wayland support to change that, but that's where we are.

    Furtermore, for drivers and the like some Android blobs are used. There are therefore some Sailfish specific apis that you need to target for some of the functionality.

  • Servo 0.0.2 Released For Those Wanting To Try Out This Example Rust Web Browser 🇧🇪

    Jump

  • Partially. Servo is the engine that was to replace the one in Firefox. But then mozilla abandoned the project. Since both projects where developed under the same roof, some features where backported into gecko (the engine Firefox actually uses)

    But most of the code in Servo doesn't show up in FF

  • They don't choose the platform, the platforms choose them. Under EU regulation WhatsApp as a "gatekeeper" has to give access to any other platform operating in the EU if they request it. Threema, Signal and co simply aren't interested.

  • Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords

    Jump

  • You could also use dedicated hardware to store your keys. Any FIDO USB key will do. I have a Yubikey that cost me less than 30 bucks.

    It's really handy, because I frequently use someone else's device for work. All I have to do is plug it in, press the button on the key and enter the master password for the passkey storage. It's like having a password manager on a USB stick.

  • And if you don't have an unique public IP address, for example because you are behind CGNAT, you can use Pangolin. It tunnels all traffic from your homelab to a VPS via Wireguard and exposes your services via a Traefik reverse proxy. Pangolin also automates the Traefik setup and provides a webui to configure the individual proxies.

    For a VPS I recommended ionos, because they offer servers with unlimited traffic starting at only 1€ per month with server locations in both Europe and the US.
