Uhm, I'm listening to #InternetRadio using my #Librem5 while on my #notebook at my desk. Why?
There's this bug letting pipewire-pulse fail, because too many connections are open.
I didn't find a way to have the #Shortwave #Flatpak play directly using pipewire.
Nice to have the same software stack on my mobile phone which now is connected to my usb speakers.

I just tagged version 0.2.0 of OLS, my experimental local #location server. It's a bit over-configurable and under-documented, but may be of interest to technical users who want to play with location services on Linux. Get it from #Codeberg.

got the second #robocall of my life today. This did not used to be a thing in Portugal.
Time to install #PhoshAntispam by @kop316
I hate that I will need to use it. Because it is a symptom of things getting shittier with autonomated calls in PT.
But I am glad that #PhoshAntispam exists.
Thanks for making it @kop316
For example, you can now “purchase” human blood and organs, someone to have your baby or stand in line for you or hold a public parking space, a person to comfort you in your grief, and the right to kill an endangered animal. The list grows longer each day

Just released #flohmarkt 0.6.1~ynh1 for #yunohost. There are many new features - thanks for the impressing developments of the last two month to @grindhold@23.social and @midzer@chaos.social and all the other contributors!
- instance name is shown as page title of browsers
- visually reworked item page
- most tabs now feature icons
- visually reworked item tags
- sticky menu
- search Users in Admin View
- most used tags are now shown as clickable buttons on the front page.

#flohmarkt community is celebrating remotely their next release tonight @ 19 CET.
Let's grab a beer together, have fun and talk about everything #fediverse related.
Chris Vogel shared a month ago#flohmarkt needs an #accessibility review to leave beta phase.
Is there someone in the #fediverse who can help on #a11y?

Chris Vogel shared a month ago#flohmarkt 0.4.0 has been released.
it's primarily a bugfixing release and some nice visual improvements.
the most impactful thing is probably the fact that authorized_fetch now works with #mastodon
see the full changelog at https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/releases/tag/0.4.0
thanks to @bignose @Tealk @midzer and all the various translators for their contributions :)
Just found an old #sdcard of my former #android phone. It is formated - I guess - as #adoptable storage. I remembered that there might be an interesting picture on it.
I do not know whether the Sony Z1 I used that time does still work, but I'll try to recover it with this knowledge I wrote down 5 years ago: https://xdaforums.com/t/howto-replace-device-and-keep-sdcard-with-adoptable-storage.3913789/post-79200875 .
Chris Vogel shared 2 months ago#flohmarkt news: today i've merged a big PR from bignose who wrote codeberg actions for automatically correcting common whitespace- and other format errors.
@midzer continued working on refining the item page design.
thanks to @neil we can welcome four new #uk instances into the community, two of whom want to be publically listed and most of whom federate already with each other: https://fleamarket.neilzone.co.uk https://flohmarkt.modern-industry.com/
as always: find flohmarkt at: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt

* Improvements on the webadmin UX, e.g. you can add subdomains on the fly when installing apps
* A more lightweight base system
* ... and more sweets! 🍬
➡️ We strongly recommend to carefully read the release note before upgrading: https://forum.yunohost.org/t/31673
Just ordered a yellow Casio watch for the Sensor Watch Pro I'm waiting for.
When I'll replace the original casio electronics with the #SensorWatch I'll have the original electronics left over. Wonder whether there's a model to print a watch case for the electronics somewhere out there...
The already visible trend, as we shall see in the coming chapters, is that any actor with an interest in purchasing probabilistic information about our behavior and/or influencing future behavior can pay to play in markets where the behavioral fortunes of individuals, groups, bodies, and things are told and sold

Setting up my federated fleamarket with flohmarkt
Yesterday, I set up an instance of flohmarkt on a Raspberry Pi, to experiment with a self-hosted, federated "fleamarket" system, for advertising some old tech stuff that really needs a new home.
It's alpha, and has a few rough edges, so perhaps my notes will help:

Thanks to everyone who helped test it!
The nature of its products explains why Google repeatedly claims that it does not sell personal data. What? Never! Google executives like to claim their privacy purity because they do not sell their raw material. Instead, the company sells the predictions that only it can fabricate from its world- historic private hoard of behavioral surplus

In my post about waking my #Librem5 by calling to receive matrix messages I forgot to mention one of the actors: #PhoshAntiSpam.
PhoshAntiSpam rejects or silences incoming calls depending on a text file containing phone numbers and/or your address book.
If you're using #Phosh on your mobile phone and you get calls you do not want, it'll be of great help. Shoutout to @kop316@fosstodon.org 
@agx@librem.one Thinking about #chatty: Another really cool feature would be a bridge between matrix and SMS... 
Chris Vogel shared 3 months ago
@me a nice feature of SMS is that you can put the metadata into the SMS so one can e.g. just fetch that one single message in matrix (once chatty supports this, l already added support to libcmatrix)
