Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I am an environmentalist and 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:

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

Kann bestätigen: die #vegan|e Currywurst aus den #DB Board Bistro ist gut (von planted). Der kostenlose Schokoladensnack danach (von ChoViVa) ist ebenfalls vegan.

Man gibt den Autokraten nicht nur kampflos, sondern in vorauseilendem Gehorsam die Mittel an die Hand, Opposition und Zivilgesellschaft zu unterdrücken. Das sind Umbaumaßnahmen, wie man sie eigentlich nur von eben solchen Autokraten, nicht von funktionierenden Demokratien kennt.

Es wird eng, nur noch wenige Tage, bis die deutsche Bundesregierung ihre Meinung vermutlich ändert, wodurch der EU Vorschlag eine Mehrheit hätte.

1. EU Überwachungspläne: Die Chatkontrolle gefährdet die Demokratie

2. Warum ist Chatkontrolle so gefährlich für uns alle?

3. Geplante Massenüberwachung: [Signal,] Whatsapp und Threema strikt gegen Chatkontrolle

Es darf ja auch mal gute Nachrichten geben: #Trier führt die #Bezahlkarte für Geflüchtete NICHT ein: Stadt Trier: keine Bezahlkarte

Ich persönlich bin sehr glücklich darüber, dass wenigstens diese Herabwürdigung und Ungleichbehandlung Geflüchteter in Trier nicht umgesetzt wird.

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.

I just love the mood during this season #Trier

#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...
