Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (28/2025): Automatically Focussed
https://linmob.net/weekly-update-28-2025/
#LinuxMobile #libcamera #postmarketOS #UbuntuTouch #Lomiri #SailfishOS #PineTab2 #DanctNIX #Mobian #LinuxOnMobile #NixOS
First #selfHosting baby steps: bare metal server is finally up and running.
Couldn't figure out remote unlocked encrypted root on #ZFS with #NixOS, but also I realized it would be overkill (what's the point of encrypting the Nix store?) and that I can selectively encrypt datasets, so it's whatevs.
Users of the NixOS module for Mastodon, I want to change the options interface to make it more similar to the official way of configuring Mastodon: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/424594
What do you think?
Great news for #NixOS and nix users wanting to run bleeding edge, unreleased versions of #QGIS As of today you can now simply run this command to run the latest version of #QGIS in git:
nix run github:qgis/QGIS#qgis
Note: When you run this command, it will take a while and your CPU will work hard since it builds everything from source.
Thanks so much to @imincik for this amazing and far reaching contribution to #QGIS !
Hey, there's a #Guix#London #meetup planned for Tuesday next week:
https://www.meetup.com/guix-social/events/308234219/
Time: Tuesday 8th July at 6pm
Location: 20 Farringdon St, EC4A 4AB
Being troubled by some unmatched parenthesis? Come speak to us!
In love with #Nix / #NixOS and curious to know more about Guix? Join us!
(Please register on meetup.com or DM me as your name needs to be passed to the building reception so they can let you in.)
I wrote a post on how I set it up using #NixOS a while ago. This is just a simple single node machine. I haven't looked into clusters or more advanced setups.

Wow, can't believe I missed that @bonfire now supports long-form articles, RSS/Atom support, and has an "Articles" feed builder preset.
This is...starting to feel like an endgame platform for me.

@quillmatiq this looks fantastic! Can't believe there isn't a module, not even a package yet in #NixOS #nixpkgs
Looks like I got something to hack on once I get around to it ☺️
EDIT: looks like they ship a Flake, package and module upstream! 🤩
sudo libinput list-devices
to find the device file (like "/dev/input/event12")udevadm info -a /dev/input/event12
to find the parent device with a catchy ATTRS{name}.ATTRS{name}="Name of your mouse" ENV{WL_SEAT}="second"
4. Run sudo udevadm trigger
to apply the new rules.
You can check again with sudo libinput list-devices
. The device's "Seat" should now say "seat0, second"!
You could try this script (requires zenity & possibly more tools? Please read before running!) https://github.com/n3rdopolis/rebeccablackos/blob/master/rebeccablackos_files/usr/bin/configureseats
(Doesn't work on #NixOS, where /etc/udev is read-only. 💀)
I'd love to have a little command line helper tool to help set this up, for an arbitrary number of mice! :D
You do not need #NixOS | aecsocket
