The pmOS distro is shaping into a great project with many installation options with `pmbootstrap`. It includes options for Phosh and many others across a wide range of mobile and SBC hardware.

Sure, in some cases! Though, the notorious flakey internet connection of phones adds complexity and difficulty. Local messaging use cases could also benefit from wireless connections (e.g., LoRa/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi). In other cases, relays with low latency and high availability would be useful to bolster reliability. For example, with redundant-powered SBC or VPS relay servers with multiple internet connections/transports.

A structured network strategy to sync Nostr relays I think can greatly help the persistance and reliability of messages. Negentropy is a huge help. For example, if all admins independently run relays and have write policies exclusive to members/admins, the relays can sync and secure only those messages between each other. Strfry has some support here with a router. However, last I remember, the features were new and could be optimized. I would need to look again.

For example, if Alice creates a group, she can act as the admin without a need for consensus; coordinating messages can be distributed across several relays. No?

Some useful new features I've noticed in recent versions of Amethyst:
- Options to configure the types of events in your home feed.
- Configurable bottom navigation (there was too much noise).
- Support to connect to wallets via NWC.
- Private lists (aside from the list name).
- Relay sync (though it was a bit unstable and crashed).
I'm not sure when these were added, as there has been an overwhelmjng number of features added.

A review of the recently available RISC-V development board, Jupiter 2, distributed by Milk V:
https://milkv.io/jupiter2
Milk-V Jupiter 2 is one of the first to ship with the new Spacemit K3 RVA23 processors. The performance of SpacemiT K3 is pretty good and a great development board that is almost ready for daily use. It's a decent option for early adopters.
A few useful notes for new users:
1. Install Ubuntu 26.04 instead of the default OS. It shipped with Bianbu, a distro based on Ubuntu. The default desktop was LXQt instead of Gnome, which complicated keyboard configuration and lacked several features. Switching to Gnome solved those issues. Images for Ubuntu are available from: https://github.com/spacemit-com/K3-Ubuntu-Images
2. It didn't ship with documentation; however, the documentation for Spacemit Pico-ITX K3 is sufficient as it is the same board: https://www.spacemit.com/community/document/info?lang=en&nodepath=hardware/eco/k3_pico/pico_user_guide.md
3. You will likely need a powered USB dock to connect to a display (capable of 65W). The ports for USB-C power and display are combined; it requires the use of a powered USB dock, or similar, to attach to a display. Otherwise, SSH is enabled by default for remote access. Displayport 4K@60hz worked via a USB hub.
4. You will need a 65W power USB-C power supply, one is not included. It can be difficult to determine if the device is on; the product lacks a clear power button or power state indicator. The power LED is only viewable at an angle from within the enclosure. A standard phone USB-C charger will likely not provide enough to keep it running consistantly and may unexpectedly power off.

For the browsers themselves, the performance on Chromium is better than Firefox. That is usually the case. It is a bit more noticable on this hardware, especially with the startup times.

2026-07-10 05:07:30 UTC

With Ubuntu 26.04, compiling Firefox on Spacemit K3 was pretty simple and performant. It was only necessary to manually install a riscv build for wasi-sdk. Compiling Chromium on the other hand, has not been as clear. Ubuntu packages chromium, so it isn't necessary; however, it is unclear how it was built. The build process and tools for Chromium seem tethered to x86_64, most builds for riscv may be cross compiled.

Also, a power supply is not included in the shipment. It requires greater than 65W of power. A standard phone USB-C charger will likely not provide enough to keep it running consistantly and may unexpectedly power off.

Milk-V Jupiter 2 is one of the first to ship with the new RVA23 chip. The product design is slightly cumbersome, and it took a bit of time to setup as it lacked documentation. It lacks a clear power button or power state indicator, the power LED is only viewable at an angle from within the enclosure. The ports for USB-C power and display are combined; it requires the use of a powered USB dock, or similar, to attach to a display. SSH was enabled by default for remote access. Also it ships with Bianbu, a distro based on Ubuntu. The default desktop was LXQt instead of Gnome, which complicated keyboard configuration and lacked several features. Switching to Gnome solved those issues. As of about a week ago, there is now an image available to install Ubuntu 26.04 directly, which could be a great option. Performance is pretty good and near ready for daily desktop use. Looking forward!

Development has been growing steady with several different development boards (from SiFive and others) and the ratification of the RVA23 profile for general purpose use should be important for software development and support.

Where is the Beef? Regulatory Barrier to Entry and Competition in Meat Processing
"In short, regulatory extortion tyranny. Inspection regulations are size prejudicial. I know one facility that was ordered closed because it wasn’t processing fast enough. The Food Safety Inspection Service measures its efficiency by pounds inspected per personnel-hour, creating an adversarial discriminatory attitude toward small plants.
In 1906 when Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle 7 large companies controlled half the nation’s meat processing capacity. After a century of government intervention, 4 now control 85 percent. When licenses and compliance make entering and maintaining an abattoir more burdensome to small facilities than large, concentration and centralization is not an anti-trust issue; it’s a discriminatory regulatory issue."
