Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I care about social inclusion & privacy. This is my personal Fediverse server, powered by ktistec. I modified its appearance with my own adjustments.

I typically remove shared posts after ca. 3–6 months. I do keep most of my own posts (for now).

I post about a variety of topics, both in German and English, such as:

#Debian / #Linux
#FOSS / #OpenSource
#vegan #Food
#ktistec
#webdev, particularly #CSS and #PHP
sometimes posts & shares about German and EU politics (#DEpol, #EUpol)

I also developed a few tiny & simple self-hostable tools to ease my life (and that of others), such as:

You can find out more about myself on my website or in my introduction post.

Anyone else with this ridiculous issue on the #FairPhone 4 #FP4? Struggling with this for MONTHS now. Relatively low usage today (ca. 1h screen time). Cellular data is pushing through my battery life like nothing else. I barely get a day out of it, even on idle. #Android

Dear #Mozilla, please seize the opportunity and go the other direction than #Google #Chrome. We need a truly open, #FOSS browser for and by the people, not corporations.

#K9 on #Android/#FDroid is broken since yesterday (12.0). Simply crashes when trying to launch it. Downgrade does not seem possible either. So here's waiting for a quick fix 🙃

My #Fairphone 4 is draining battery like crazy over the past few months. Surely, I should buy a new battery for it soon (software says, a full charge is around 3350 mAh instead of 3900 mAh it had back in 2021 when I bought it), but this cannot be the only issue here...

Not using it at all drains around 2-3%/h and simply web browsing or a short YouTube video sometimes drains 30%/h (extrapolating). Sometimes, the device is warm even when I haven't used it for hours. The Energy-consumption settings page lists cellular connection as the top consumer next to display (when using the phone). That is, even when the device sits motionless at a spot with perfect 4G or 5G connectivity. It is only bearable in energy-saving mode (1%/h).

I've been researching online, and it looks like a bunch of people have that issue. People are speculating it is a non-functional deep-sleep in some circumstances. I wonder if a factory reset (or switch to #LineageOS?) could help.

Did anyone have similar experience with #FP4 or even other #Android devices?

Bring back the #2000s vibe, listening to music on a fully offline device. Yes, I bought a freaking #MP3Player. Mainly for sports and commuting.

Comes with an old-school, awkward UI, a battery for almost three days non-stop listening to #music, Bluetooth and USB-C. 🤘 About the size of my thumb, even a little bit smaller than that. Pretty neat!

Upgrading to #Debian13 one day before the official release, because I am that adventurous #Debian #Trixie #DebianTrixie

I just realised, that I have been listening to #metal, #metalcore and #Architects in particular for well over half my life. Wow...

Question to the #LinuxPhone/#PostmarketOS/#PinePhone community: I still have the OG Pinephone from 2020 in a drawer and was playing around with the idea of using it as a semi-#dumphone / less distraction riddled device for day to day usage.

How is the current state of Linux on a Phone and what about this particular device? The PmOS wiki page looks promising,, so does the Debian wiki (which was my main phone OS back then) but I am unsure how well this is maintained. IIRC, it became somewhat abandoned when the #PinePhonePro arrived.

The other day I must have cooked the most true-to-my-origins (and fun to pronounce) dinner in a while. I present: #Dibbelabbes from the #Saarland region. Only with the special Maggie seasoning sauce, applesauce and a Karlsberg beer (alc free here) from the region.

There is typically bacon bits in there, so naturally my #vegan go-to was smoked tofu, which matches really well! #food
