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

OK, here we go, this morning:

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.

Auf wero-wallet.eu ist es noch nicht zu sehen, in der #GLS Banking App aber schon.

Das ist für mich ein wichtiger Schritt, um mein #Paypal-Konto zu löschen ✅

@parismarx hey, I listened to the System Crash episode from May 23rd yesterday (a little bit behind on my podcasts...), where at some point you briefly talk about search engines you have been trying out, including ecosia and qwant.

Not sure, what else you have tried, so I thought maybe I just throw in two that I have experiemented with and had great success. Perhaps you already know them. But those were not mentioned in the podcast. Until the european Open Search Index is ready, there unfortunately is no perfect solution, but meta-search engines have been the best compromise for me personally until then.

Obviously you still rely on big tech to some extent, but at least you diversify the reliance a little bit. Sometimes, this also takes the form of competitive compatibility, which is a notion I really like towards big tech.

#SearX/#SearXng is of course great and extremely customizable, open source and self hostable (for trying out, here is a German provider: gruble.de).

Personally, I have been using #MetaGer (metager.de), a German meta search engine, for quite a while now. I like the minimal and brutalist-esque UI of it. For me,  it just gets the job done for me, both in my personal life and in my academic life. A little disclaimer here: MetaGer is run by a German NGO, which I joined as a passive member a few months back, because I really like their mission. They also plan to create a new search engine, entirely based on the Open Search Index, called "nolm" (no LLM), which will also find its way as a search provider into MetaGer.

I do have some little gripes with MetaGer, which I remedied with my own flimsy solution stacked on top of it, that  provides  a similar feature like DDG's "Bangs".

Anyways, thanks for the great podcast and this episode in particular, which was very entertaining.

Does anyone have experience with either #Yubikey, #Nitrokey or any other hardware security token for both #MFA/#2FA as well as #encryption via #PGP/#GPG or #SMIME?

In particular, I am looking at the Nitrokey 3A NFC. As far as I can tell, Yubico only sells #MFA tokens(?), unless the YubiKey 5 FIPS Series can hold encryption keys as well?

Both price and open hardware aspect definitely speak for Nitrokey, but I do not know anyone who owns such a token... Anyone who I can talk to?
