Uh, my Sensor Watch Pro just arrived. Now I'm waiting for a Casio FW-91WS to put the pcb into.

I'll try to put the spare original pcb into a 3d printed housing...

Hey Organizations out there! Look! This is how you provide changes to your terms of services in a simple and good way: https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-dev/patches/60282 .

Thanks #sourcehut for the great work!

Hey #yunohost admins ! Just upgraded my #flohmarkt on yunohost to version 0.10.0. Are you running a #fediverse small ads service, too?

If not try flohmarkt and if you're already running version 0.8.0 look out for the upgrade being soon available on the yunohost app store.

After some searching and reading I bought a heat gun to repair the damage I did to the modem of my #Librem5 when I changed its broken middle frame.

First tries tonight went well I think. I removed and re-soldered one of the antenna sockets of my unused redpine wifi/bt card for practicing.

First picture shows the socket removed and soldered to the pcb again without removing any solder or adding new one.

The second picture shows the socket after de-soldering the socket a second time, cleaning the pcb with some de-soldering braid applying some soldering paste and soldering it back on.

Thanks @z3r0fox@mastodon.social for the hot tip !

Big smile when reading it here

Repairing my #Librem5 I found again a pogo pin that fell out of the middle frame and thought I'd offer them on my #flohmarkt - just in case someone lost one.

Just received a new middle frame for my Librem5. Now I can fix it. Very cool being able to order spare parts for my mobile phone.

Only drawback: DHL Express. Yes, fast, but that wouldn't have been necessary. And EXPENSIVE: Shipping fee above 40 US$ and another fee for handling import taxes of more than 14€ which can't be avoided (believe me I tried hard once).

I'd wish there'd be shipping with a simple carrier that falls under the Treaty of Bern. Would take longer (probably a lot longer), but I could fetch the stuff from my local customs office and just pay the import tax with no additional fees. And the shipping fee would be far less also I guess.

I suggest that we now face the moment in history when the elemental right to the future tense is endangered by a panvasive digital architecture of behavior modification owned and operated by surveillance capital, necessitated by its economic imperatives, and driven by its laws of motion, all for the sake of its guaranteed outcomes

Since I started to use the #debian kernel instead of an #armbian legacy kernel on my #RockPro64 I had a few crashes. Most of them seemed to have been related to #sata, because they stopped after I exchanged the sata pcie with another one of the same type.

I had another #oops afterwards and decided I should look for a #watchdog to reboot the system in case of trouble.

After reading a bit about watchdogd the most simple solution I found is:

root@TEST:~# cat /etc/cron.d/watchdog 
@reboot   root wdctl -s 180 
* * * * * root echo "1" > /dev/watchdog

I'm testing it on a non-productive board and it seems to be good. It works for a forced oops echo c > /dev/sysrq-trigger and if I stop cron.

But it doesn't work in the state after a simple halt: the system tries to start and hangs after showing the first line of u-boot output.

Just donated to the effort to improve sound quality on the #Librem5 when using #pipewire: https://opencollective.com/dephcom/projects/pipewire-echo

I'd be even more happy about the approach of sponsoring development through the community if this donation would be accepted as being for an official non-profit organization accepted as such in Germany.

Giving for #OpenSource should be respected as a a benefit to the public and appreciated by the government by whatever means they do this for other purposes (in Germany it's possible to declare such donations for reducing taxes to pay).

Hey #MobileLinux community - if everybody gives a little there'll be a fair pay for someone doing this work.
