And from my reading, helps secure against a situation where an police officer (AKA attacker in the US apparently…) coerces you to unlock the phone (or perhaps even just takes it off you in a locked, but active state), and stores it in a faraday bag with a charger. They do that to keep it ‘alive’ so their experts can break in - a dead-mans reboot can help circumvent even that (as it will just reboot and restore itself to an encrypted rest state, which is much harder to attack)

Yeah, seems like its a move to follow apple after custom ROMS offering it as a security feature (Im on GrapheneOS and had it set for a while)

Thanks for the clarification, I forgot that (somehow)

After a reboot all the data is encrypted and needs a pin/fingerprint to unlock. So if it’s stolen (or feds get it) a planned reboot resets it to a highly secure state that is much more difficult to hack into than when it’s just locked from timeout. Edit: removed fingerprint, corrected below.

Good work supporting foss

Ouch, yeah that’s frustrating. I’m considering doing my own image (prei stall my own apps) which will help with issues like this and allow consistent apps across machines.

Feels like a sledgehammer for a nail though

I had this with a sunshine service being added as a user service in bazzite. I created a clean new user and it booted, confirming it was user based. Took a bunch of binary searching to work out what the issue was.

I’ve since done my own autostart setup for sunshine and it’s been fine ever since.

Crappy UX!

Dave the diver nd a bit of no man’s sky

Read Anathema last year, really enjoyed it!

Steve looks highly unimpressed

I’ve probably quadrupled my Gametime from the deck. Used to be hard around job and kids, but now I am gaming during work commutes/hotels during work trips, and little 10-15 min pauses during the day I would have wasted on the phone instead.

I run ollama and auto1111 on my desktop when it’s powers on. Using open-webui in my homelab always on, and also connected to openrouter. This way I can always use openwebui with openrouter models and it’s pretty cheap per query and a little more private that using a big tech chatbot. And if I want local, I turn on the desktop and have local lamma and stab diff.

I also get bugger all benefit out of it., it’s a cute toy.

Finished life is strange yesterday. Been on my backlog forever, kicking myself for not getting to it sooner. And no, I’m not ok.

Playing some mindless grim dawn on the deck since to scratch the ARPG itch, yet to decide if I move onto LiS: BtS soon or if I need some casual pallette cleansers before I’m emotionally ready for more.

God I miss this time on the web

I may have to go back to IRC, hell even running my own fucking server

This is the way. I resisted doing a custom ROM based on past experience, but GrapheneOS is absolutely worth it. The day I saw Gemini in the text messaging app is the day I bit the bullet. Wish I did it sooner

Apologies, dongle for Xbox controller (wifi) as I struggle with the Bluetooth lag

Jsaux mod case for travel/backpack, 25000mwh battery pack, USB hub for connecting to tv and Bluetooth dongle for Xbox controller. Considering 3d printing something for the rear buttons as I find them a little shallow/hard to press. And spring for a microSD for emulator games expansion.

It really, really doesn’t need very much in the way of accessories, if you find this and are planning to get one, I’d recommend getting it first and figure out then what you want after using it a bit.

I’ve been daily driving bazzite for a few months, I would highly recommend you give it a distro hop for a bit to see if it fits you. The main downside is getting used to the atomic mindset and changing how you install your tooling

Yeah would not go reading oglaf at work lol
