Hi tildefriends!
In the continuous search for the freeedom at any technology I use, I'm
searching for mobile alternatives for Android (+google).
During this search I've known SailfishOS [1] and e.foundation[2]. The
leader is meego based, but has apk support. The latter is android
derivative with gapps replaced by the services of e.foundation.
Since both seem a reasonable alternative, I was wondering if anyone here
has experience with any of these, and could share his/hers opinions.
Any guidance also in the process of creating a dual boot to a cellular
is more than welcome. I'm seriously thinking in buying an Xperia XA2 as
it's supported by both OSs
Thanks in advance, and have a nice day :)

hey ~teammates!
it's been a while since i posted any updates to this mailing list, so
here's a few news updates for those who don't frequent irc :)
in no particular order:
* feels has been updated from upstream and re-patched for some tilde.team
customizations. info at:
- https://tilde.team/ttbp/
- https://tildegit.org/team/ttbp
* our wiki has some new features now
- linkable headers (like this
https://tilde.team/wiki/ssh#how-to-make-an-ssh-key)
- pretty urls (now without the ?page= query parameter)
* weechat relays over unix sockets: weechat added support for using unix
sockets for the relay plugin in version 2.5. i've configured nginx to
proxy your relay connection (so you don't have to use an ssh tunnel)
to your local relay socket. see
https://tilde.team/wiki/irc#weechat-relays for more info. holler on
irc or here on the mailing list if you need help setting this up!
* cgi-bin on user pages: inspired by envs.net (a new tilde created by
~creme). i've added support for cgi-bin in your ~/public_html dirs.
create an executable script in ~/public_html/cgi-bin/ and try it out!
hope you're all having a great summer and staying cool in this heat!
cheers,

Hi folks !
I was thinking about writing some documentation about email (and maybe
more) encryption using GnuPG. The target would be not-so-techy tilde
users. And the objective would be that anybody can use public key
encryption if they want to with minimal hassle.
I would like to know what people use for handling email, as I've been
using mutt for so long I don't really know what other folks do.
Please answer to this post (I'll publish it also on bbj and maybe
tilde.news) with your combo of OS/email agent or simply with a "not
interested".
That way I'll have an idea of what config examples to include on the
docs or that perhaps there's no interest at all in this and I can use my
time on other stuff ...
That's it, please take a couple of minutes to answer this ;-)
Have a nice day !

Hi,
I've been using the native mail(1) MUA on tilde.institute. It
would be nice to have 's-nail' installed as an updated version
of mail(1). Also, is there any plans to mail email available
via imap/imaps ? That would be my preference though I understand
that adds an extra load on the sysadmins WRT security and maint.
Cheers,
Jeff
Which one do you guys use?
I have been avoiding Amazon for a while now, and that is the only
eReader available in my country, apparently. So I thought I would ask
you guys!
May be you do not like eReaders? May be you use your eReader for only
a _few_ of the books? May be you just cannot let go of the pbooks?
Here is where I stand at: I used to have a Kindle 3 years ago. I read
all my novels on it while I had it. I took it on flights, trains,
taxis.
It was amazing having the book I'm reading with me all the time. It
was amazing being able to buy any book, or review them before
buying. It was amazing not having to worry about big and heavy
books. It was fun having facilities such as bookmarks, dictionaries
etc.
It it was not fun not being able to stand in front of my bookshelf and
looking at the books. It was not fun not being able to lend the books
to others. It was not fun not being able to flip pages rampantly.
I found it completely useless for my technical books.
(Sorry in advance for the top post) no worries Txus, only a single post is showing up on my end :)
(Oh yeah and im running on android 4.1.1 so uh get an old android phone and see how long you last - I challenge you :p)

hey ~teammates!
i'm planning on moving tilde.team to its new home next weekend
(tentatively planned for saturday night).
i've ordered a new server from ovh (in their canada datacenter). i got
it 25% off and it has roughly similar specs to the machine we've been
running on for a while now. the main bonus i get on this new machine is
the 16 IPs that are included for no additional cost.
~team will live in a VM with 32gb ram, 6 vCPUs, and 1tb disk.
the migration itself isn't a huge deal, but the dns changes required
will be the hard part here. i'll be working this week to come up with
a neat solution to be able to throw the switch all at once.
feel free to holler here if you have any concerns or suggestions.
if you want to see how the ping will change, you can check against
51.79.32.48 (the new ip).
thanks,
~ben

It depends on my platform.
On my daily driver (currenly Debian Stable; slated to become FreeBSD in
the near future), I tend to use Claws mail but have been (sloooowly)
transitioning over to mutt/neomutt.
For most of the other boxes that I manage, it's either mutt/neomutt for
anything that requires real mail management, or mail(1) for those where
I just need to read system messages and delete them without replying.
Here on tilde, I've given myself the challenge of using only mail(1) as
my mail interface (including to compose this) and ed(1) as my $EDITOR.
It's been a great way to sharpen those skills.

I'll grant I'm a bit of an outlier with mail(1), but the other two are
pretty common based on the other replies I've seen here.

documentation is always good!

Mozilla Thunderbird for Windows, my dude - however, I honestly don't
know how to encrypt emails using PGP or GPG - documentation would be
great in this area, but i feel i'm gonna get a reply from ben directly,
saying "rtfm" lol.

You too, Paco! :)

(i accidentally sent this directly to Paco originally, my bad!)
For my every day mail, I use K9 and Claws. For tilde maile, I just use mail(1). If a mail client requires much more configuration than putting in my address, server, and password, I'll pretty much check out. I don't care about every single option, I just need something to barf text onto my screen.
That said, I'll still read your gpg documentation. =)
