Re:PostmarketOS v25.06: The One with Systemd on Monday June 23, 2025 @07:06AM (#44354424)
Oh systemd cares about them very much, and systemd will be a key component for the stability for postmarketOS with stuff like first-boot, sysusers/tmpfiles and in the end sysupdate (hopefully). That's just part of a very long list which simply wouldn't be possible without systemd.

In the end, if someone cares enough to step up and keeps OpenRC at the same state (and there is some progress, to be noted), we won't interfere with you, but at the current state it's just a big time consumer for many of our developers, and it's not where we would like to spend the time with and rather want to focus on stability and sustainability in general.

Not sure which device suits your criteria the best, but feel free to take a look at the supported Laptops/Tablets: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices#Tablets_in_classi...

I heard the Xiomi Mi Pad 5 Pro had good support (https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Xiaomi_Mi_Pad_5_Pro_(xiao...), but we also support a lot of Chromebooks like your Duet 3 (https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Lenovo_IdeaPad_Duet_3_(go...) :p

> if you want to submit benchmarks, or you want to report bugs, an important or sometimes a mandatory component is to provide compilation flags

On all open-source distros, you can look into your distro's source and check their compile flags.

I wonder why you switched and not use your 16-core PC? did it somehow broke or do you just like the benefits of a minipc?
Re:Aerc: A well-crafted TUI for email on Friday August 23, 2024 @05:56AM (#41327641)
Maybe dodo[1] is something for you. It is basically a graphical email client but with lots of vim-bindings.

Basically the best of both worlds, terminal and graphical. Like the qutebrowser[2] for emails.

However I think its kinda in a unmaintained state and only supports notmuch backend.

That reminds my of a own xdg-open I wrote that sits in /usr/local/bin/xdg-open.

It's a simple python script that checks by looking at the protocol, mime type or extension which URL it is and also asks if there are multiple applications

> What if you're ssh'd into a machine, you're in your trusty bash shell, but unfortunately you cannot spawn any new processes because literally all other pids are taken. What do you do?

But what if i'm instead in my trusty POSIX shell without bash support? The bash script is not POSIX complient :(

Funny, my invidious instance still works..

Re:Pixelblaze – WiFi LED Controller on Sunday May 26, 2024 @03:38AM (#40480343)
Wow, that looks interesting. I've got regualar old IR LED strips and, if I got time, I wanted to set up a NodeMCU with a IR transmitter below the LEDs, so I can remote control my LED strips per HTTP requests.

It's just a proof of concept, but I guess that could work. To read the IR codes, it seems mostly be standartized, but otherwise I could also detect IR codes via a IR receiver.
