#postmarketOS is now shipping #systemd built from unpatched upstream source code, thanks to all the amazing folks involved with adding #musl libc support 😁

Hey - please don't send LLM generated code to the LKML.
come on y'all.
Putting LLM generated code up for code review that you haven't looked at thoroughly already isn't asking for code review, it is offloading your work to someone else. If you feel like that's the only way you can actually save time with these tools, all that actually means is that you feel like you are saving time because you made someone else do the work in a way that wasn't obvious to either of you.

I've decided to join @pabloyoyoista, @craftyguy and @cas in holding Office Hours for postmarketOS and related topics. You can hop in a call with me for 30 minutes every week on Wednesdays at 4:00pm CET/CEST to chat about various topics and I'll do my best to answer questions, discuss problems and help you.

You can find more information (and the other folks' hours) in the postmarketOS Wiki: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Office_hours

Looking forward to chatting with you :)

🎙️ In our very timely new podcast episode 46 "Summer Events Special" that we are totally releasing just a few days after it was recorded, @RannyBergamotte, @ollieparanoid, @z3ntu and @linmob talk about Linux Mobile action at #defcon33, #why2025 and #froscon2025, all which took place between August 7 and 17 this year.

We get into how DEF CON in Las Vegas compares to the European events, what it's like to be at a hacker camp, plenty of Linux Mobile talks at FrOSCon, and a lot more!

Special thanks to @timegearmonkey for editing (first time editing a postmarketOS podcast episode)! ❤️

I wrote a blogpost about an automatic phone call testing PoC I did recently.
The setup can detect a failed phone call. When properly integrated into the postmarketOS Hardware CI setup, it will automatically detect phone call reliability/quality issues.

Hopefully this can take away the fear of the phone not working when you need it and remove a roadblock for daily driving #linuxmobile.

@thibaultamartin @pabloyoyoista that's exactly what this is :)

Still a lot work to do, but for the first time, we got completely integrated CI testing of kernels running... on a phone! For what I know, this is a first for a non-multi-million-euro-company in the FOSS world!! Can't be more proud of it and all the people that helped during this journey.

https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/jobs/1465886 is a bit cryptic, and might look like any other gitlab CI job, but is actually booting on a OP6T at @mupuf farm!!

There's still a long road ahead, but in the future we might be able to automate kernel upgrades with a lot less manual testing, and continue working the "reliability" goal we presented in https://postmarketos.org/blog/2025/03/30/pmOS-year-priorities/

Huge thanks to @mupuf for all his work and dedication on ci-tron, to @cas for the initial dream and work all across the stack, to @fizzo and @corna, for the PCB that drives the phone, and to @fun, @adrianyyy, and @cas again for the work on Tauchgang. Truly team work :)

More details in some weeks in a blog post near you ;)

@longnoserob @pabloyoyoista @fossdd we did go sightseeing, but only saw the Dom from the bunker, we didn't visit the Dom itself

Today we're conducting our first retro gaming evening at @cccac. In the long run we want to repeat it once a month, hopefully on a Saturday.

As a hook/icebreaker we've prepared a multiplayer setup between two Playstation 1, using the PlayStation Link Cable (SCPH-1040)

Start is at 20:00, open end

Had a bit of an improvised hacking and socialising weekend with @fossdd and @adrianyyy coming to visit at my place! Lots of chatting and hacking! We mostly worked on pmaports maintenance, documentation, systemd sub packages, mainline kernel, and HW-CI integration

BUBBLEWRAP UNWRAPPED:

You have launched #Flatpak apps 4403 times this year. Your favorite command override was --command=bash with 202 invocations. Your most frequently added environment variable was QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland. You only launched Steam games 59 times, what's up, no time to play? Oh, you have invented 2 cursed FLATPAK_BWRAP override tricks this year. You have 3 flatpaks for a different architecture currently installed, wonder why.

may i ask the germans for their attention please: https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/petitionen/_2025/_07/_14/Petition_183950.$$$.a.u.html

rustc 1.90.0 (e50fdb3c0 2025-10-30) (IBM Open SDK for Rust on AIX 1.90.0.0 (5900-BND, 5765-J24))

FINALLY

@fossdd the lack of strcasestr on AIX is a tragedy

@fossdd do it!
