How encrypt email title ? ( GnuPG ) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

This is a setting in Thunderbird. You dont use GnuPG for that, you add a PGP key and Thunderbird does the encryption. You can check if the Header should be encrypted too

[DE] Contribute network location data to get location everywhere without sattelites! in c/[email protected]

Afaik GPS can be jammed to prevent using it for geolocation. Especially in warfare this is quite common

Opensource geodata of celltowers, wifis and bluetooth beacons is crucial.

It allows apps like UnifiedNLP to give the OS the location data it needs, without relying on GPS Sattelites.

GPS can be tampered with, and A-GPS is not privacy friendly at all.

UnifiedNLP is only found included in microG, which is pretty insecure.

But GrapheneOS devs are working on a regular user app that serves network location data, using Apple, Apple (proxied) or a local BeaconDB database!

BeaconDB is a new service to replace MozillaLocationServices which has shut down unfortunately.

Apps like TowerCollector dont yet support it, but NeoStumbler does, and also has more advanced features.

Collect network info in your region, and in the future you (and everyone else using it) dont need GPS anymore!

(You can also use the screenshots in that mastodon thread as reference)

Coreboot install on an 8th Gen HP Chromebook (forum.chrultrabook.com)

The CPU is quite old and the ports are horrendous.

But that machine has a crazy screen, pretty nice keyboard (actually my first laptop with a numpad ever) and the fan is really silent.

And the install was very easy. Now runs Fedora Kinoite!

Chromebooks, with Linux, not just ChromeOS (the batterylife difference is tiny) are really great for simple office stuff and even media consumption, while being efficient.

My main, 11in Lenovo Chromebook just lost 30% batterylife over a course of 4 hours or more. And it costed 140€!

Just made a dedicated repo about a bunch of tricks I regularly use.

A KDE Plasmoid is definetly missing on that list. Having it work without garbage Electron, at least most of the time, is crucial.

How to install up-to-date python for a user only? (slrpnk.net)
 

You know, immutable enterprise systems.

I installed HeliumOS (Almalinux bootc) on a corebooted Chromebook. Works really well, but audio needs to be configured.

The script needs a recent python which is not available there.

Go and rust can be installed for a user only. Is there something similar for python?
