I know, many have been asking for this and even more out there didn’t even dare to ask.
But finally, the wait is over:
You can now use your #PinephonePro running #FreeBSD to do all your #Borland C++ #OS2 development while waiting for 1997 to arrive.

In case you missed it: @npub1dzc…4r0t now has figured out how to use the #PinephonePro headphone to USB serial adapter for #FreeBSD network access until real network support is working, see README at https://codeberg.org/Honeyguide/freebsd-pinephonepro/src/branch/main/README.md

We are looking for a #FreeBSD committer who would be willing to mentor and help getting our changes regarding #PinephonePro support into CURRENT.
If you want to have a look, the repo is located at https://codeberg.org/Honeyguide/freebsd-pinephonepro

@npub17gp…nrxn I would be curious about some statistics and charts from nine.testrun.org, something like number of messages processed, amount of data sent or so.
Of course this is not the only chatmail server out there but it probably is the main one and stats might be a useful tool to help spread the word.
Maybe stats could even become part of the chatmail package?
What do you think?

Anybody interested in creating a port of the #DeltaChat desktop client for #FreeBSD? Just asking for a friend... 😬😀

Is there a usable secure web #SearchEngine out there that is not just a frontend to Bing (or Google) like #DuckDuckGo, #Ecosia etc?
(Looking for something developed and hosted in a democratic country of course.)

As I understand it, full disk encryption currently does not work with #PostmarketOS, at least with v24.12. (pmbootstrap-installation with FDE does not boot on my PinephonePro...)
As a Plan B I tried to set up #ecryptfs but the kernel module is missing.
Does anybody have a good solution for encrypting at least home on @npub1vnu…8mqn?
I am looking into getting my #PinephonePro in a state so that it can be used as a daily driver but encryption is mandatory then of course...
