i've finally set up #pinephone convergence, a temporary setup until i find a better place to stick this monitor. i'm a huge fan of the convergence dock and my new setup.
just uploaded my first #AUR package, linuxconsoletools! it's a dependency of a couple of #f_scripts that wasn't available in any arch repos, so i built and uploaded it myself. huzzah!
the #ziglang packaging on #archlinux is going to take a lifetime to fix
after a month of trying, i got the #lbry sdk to compile on my #pinephone! inside of a python 3.7 virtual environment and by manually compiling and installing a few python packages, i got lbrynet up and running. hooray!
i'll be focusing my efforts on porting #framebufferphone to #archlinuxarm in the near future. schoolwork got pretty crazy recently with important tests coming up, but i should have more time to work on porting this coming week. fbp is definitely my ideal UI for the #pinephone, with minimalism and extensibility at it's core. im excited to get all of the f_scripts running properly on alarm.
"My Love-Hate Relationship With Bitwarden" is now up on my blog and RSS feed. While not strictly Linux or C related, I thought it was fitting due to the fact that digital security introduced me to the world of FOSS. This post includes demo footage of my new choice in passphrase management, captured on my #pinephone. Please give it a read and let me know what you think either by replying to this thread or contacting me by any means on my About page.

You know the amazing https://mobile.twitter.com/biktorgj who singlehandedly created a nearly-FOSS userland modem firmware for the #pinephone and #pinephonepro ? He supports the community, is incredibly stubborn, err, persistent, in the face of a weird modem and regularly improves the firmware. You can even tell your phone modem to remind you to buy milk now via SMS. He likes coffee and we think he deserves some as a token of gratitude 😍! Pour him one ☕ https://ko-fi.com/biktorgj
the rss feed is finally updated and available. just add the following link to your rss reader to stay up-to-date on my blog: https://hamblingreen.gitlab.io/rss.xml. also there may or may not be another blog post coming tomorrow. we'll just have to wait and see :)
a new addition to my #sxmo #pinephone terminal setup: peertube-viewer-rs. a minimal, rust based peertube downloader that allows for video streaming through mpv. gone are the long wait times to watch the next video from martijn! working on compiling #lbry sdk as well, been trying for months. dependencies out-of-date etc.
im reflecting on the role that twitter played in the decline of blogging, and rise of microblogging, and how the #fediverse relates to it all. i think ill write a blog post about it.
it took me literal months to realize that pulseaudio wasn't running, which is why i couldn't connect to bluetooth audio devices on my #pinephone. *facepalm*
let's spread #hare across the fediverse! a new programming language that looks quite appealing to work with... i'll have to give it a look once I get a basic understanding of C down. https://harelang.org/
LinuxPhoneApps.org looks slightly different now.

#FOSS on your desk, #FOSS in your pocket, #FOSS on your wrist, and now, #FOSS in your ears!
Too bad plush unicorns with mics sticking out their heads were an April fool 🤣🤣 but I'm really excited about #PineSound and #PineBuds ! 🤩
