Sad. But thanks for chiming in. I really hate apple for their walled garden approach. running a rooted android phone is far less problematic and therefore is making huge progress. since nobody seems to be able to reliably even jailbreak apple devices, its more likely they will stay locked until the landfill. Apple should be broken up about this.

Hi folks, I'm a tinkerer and like to hack old devices. Currently running postmarketOS on an old oneplus6. Now I want to try to repurpose my old ipad 3 with LTE. **Edit: The problem might be the windows vm since an iphone 11 with linghtning cable also doesnt get recognized.** For that purpose I have tried: - https://jailbreaks.app/legacy.html -> phoenix (Error: app could not be installed at this time) - windows VM (I'm on linux) with usb connect, I can see the ipad in device manager and open the harddrive but neither itunes nor sideloadly will connect to it. impactor also wont recognize the device - exchanging the cable for a different (newer) one, also no change - resetting the ipad to factory settings to free up space, no change - reinstalling itunes, icloud, sideloadly - restarting between each step I'm kind of running out of ideas at this point. I generally have a debug device which I could try and use on the ipad but I struggle to find resources on lower level hardware hacking for the ipad. Let me know if you have any other ideas. Have a good one!

thanks for chiming in. ill check it out.
Linux mobile is advancing fast but of course not everything works out of the box. Element for example needs to make these sidebars toggleable for small screens. touch control works, room changing works, just the sidebars need to "move it". Anyone up for the task?
Hi folks, not sure if this is the right place but so please lmk if there is a better place to put this: I'm currently attempting to reverse engineer yealink t41p IP phone firmware since the device is out of support for some years and but works very well imo. For security reasons and keeping the devices out of the trash, I would like to provide open source firmware for it. I recently learned how the process with clean room reversing works but I'm stumbling at the first step already.

For many maintainers there is a huge difference between getting a one-time “airdrop” of money, perhaps right after a high profile incident where people are paying attention to their projects, compared to ongoing recurring income that they can count on.

Thankfully, once he has laid enough groundwork he gets straight his point. I don't want to spoil or otherwise lessen the performance he gives, so I won't directly comment on what his point *is* in the body of this post - I think the comments are better suited for that anyways. > > I found the rest to be pretty compelling. He rides the fine line between directionless discontent and overenthusiastic activist-with-a-plan as he doubles down on his narrative by calling back to the various bits of groundwork he laid before - now that we're "in" on the idea, what felt like stumbling around in the dark turns into an illuminating path through some of the specifics of the last twenty to forty years of the dynamics of power between tech bosses and their employees. The rousing call to action was also great way to end and wrap it all up. > > I've become very biased towards Cory Doctorow's ideas, in part because they line up with a lot of the impressions I have from my few years working as a dev in a big-ish multinational tech company. This talk has done nothing to diminish that bias - on the contrary.

You will probably get the best answers from the peertube community so I suggest you crosspost your question there.
That said, I host a peertube instance. It is the same as any other fediverse service but it is very young so dont expect it to be on par with mastodon and lemmy in terms of usability.
As with all other services, you can make an account on an instance, seeing only what that instance allows you to, either by specifically allowing or disallowing other servers.
So if you want the user experience, check joinpeertube.org for a rather well connected (and or maybe large) instance and join if you want to upload content. If not, you can just use your mastodon account to follow creators or comment on their videos.
If you want freedom to do as you please, you need to get a server that is online (as in not in your home network or at least exposed but treat with caution). You can then install a peertube instance of your own, ideally with a custom domain. Then you can join the network and federate with who and whatever you like.
In any case, framatube is a great company imo but their marketing just isnt that good. Peertube has so much potential and it could be further along by now.
But dont get me wrong. It is still great and here to stay.
Good luck.

I did quite some reading in my time, as I mentioned. The methods you are describing are riddled with ifs and buts. The reality is that even online systems arent hacked if they dont have obvious flaws like passwords in root ssh. on the other hand tools like john the ripper can break each and every common encryption given the right circumstances. Its no difference. Its all just marketing.

I‘m not that bad at rhetoric either but I avoid it when I can.
Your argument is empty. Privilege escalation attacks are plain old cves that get found, evaluated and fixed. You need access to the phone, mostly in an unlocked state to get anything to work like that, same as with a computer.
I know a couple of pen testers and I would definitely know if there were large differences between operating systems securitywise.

You do realize that this is bullshit, right?
Its typical fearmongering (in fact the same article too) that I have been sent a ton of times by low tech users that fanboy for graphene.
There is no such thing as „physical port attacks“. It also works very different on phones then on computers. You can for example use i2c on an iphone to crack it open which somewhat straightforward to do but still has zero implications for daily use. The linux apps are desktop apps and as such dont have any chance to get through all of the open source community‘s eyes undetected.
Its a completely backwards take that assumes using bad faith software written in the dark by proprietary vendors which just isnt real.

Sounds like you dont have much data in your area. Organic maps draws from openstreetmap iirc, the same as apple maps i believe. That would be something you can work on.

Fair enough. In bad times, that is true for me as well. But these times pass eventually. At least they always have in the past.

Am in the process of retiring my appleTV for a raspberryPI with LibreELEC. It is pretty awesome so far. A couple small things do need work but thats for the future. Right now I‘m looking to at least get kind of feature parity for the things I use. Mainly I run plex for music, shows and movies as well as youtube and twitch, all very performant, even on wifi. As some of you might have noticed, I have recently released a next gen peertube addon to help with peertube adoption and accessibility. My only nonstarter so far seems to be steamlink. It runs great on appleTV so I figured it must be doable on kodi as well since the pi4 is powerful and kodi does everything else very well. I found this library today on my journey: https://github.com/ValvePython/steam If anyone wants to help developing the addon, let me know.
Huge fan of risk-v and massively overwhelmed by analysis paralysis. I‘m in the market for risc-v hardware to develop on and play around with. After some consideration, I will get an sbc for the hard tinkering and low level stuff and I‘m thinking of getting a tablet for regular use (browing, ebook reading, controlling smart home devices) as well as development and packaging stuff. My reasoning for using dev hardware on a daily basis is that for myself to be able to use features, I need apps which I am incentivised to compile and package for risc-v. I‘ve seen very promising risc-v videos but I‘m not sure what to expect from a tablet. To add to that the pinetab v is out of stock which was a strong candidate. I know there is the new tablet from deepcomputing but its in preorder and the shipping to germany is pretty expensive. (100$ plus). The HD display is pretty awesome compared to the pinetab v but afaik the pinetab comes with accessories. Any experience with risc-v tablets and which other offers do you consider good?
Hi folks! First of all, huge appreciation for this insane lemmy client. I‘ve been using it for two years roughly and I‘m over the moon about it. I want this app to be even more wonderful so I wanted to share my idea for a more integrated search: Currently, when you‘re on a small instance like mine, you dont see every community on every server you are connected to due to the way AP works. For that reason, I would love to see **all** communities and be able to subscribe to them by using lemmyverse.net as a search option. **Steps to reproduce** 1. make new instance 2. add user 3. connect with voyager 4. type anything in the search bar 5. find nothing Btw I know we already have the „discover“ option but it works different from what I‘m suggesting and is less intuitive and more cluttered than my approach imo. **Suggested behavior** 1. You hit search and get „lemmyverse.net“ as a search option 2. click it 3. see all communities with the content you searched for 4. hit subscribe 5. get content I hope this makes sense to you as I think this will boost the discoverability of lemmy by a huge margin! This would also probably be a unique feature, setting voyager even more apart from other clients (and of course be a great role model for them to follow). Thanks for reading and have a good one.
