no i just know from other peoples experience. pine phone would be awesome if it had faster hardware and better software. from what i understand apps load slow the whole os is slow.

Also, meh.

Lemmy community didn’t seem to impressed with anything here, but personally I don’t care either. A community that censors its users actions and speech isn’t deemed interesting to me and never will be. Ramble is a very good community regardless of being usable far right/far left who cares.

Sounds good. Can’t wait for the server move, will be good for the future and hope your hosting business goes well.

If i recall the new models of iPhone have virtual sim cards. I side with you that a SIM in 2021 is pointless. The next day 2 years I think it will be all virtual.

I remember old Nokia brick phones and Motorola Razr flips from when I was younger. Galaxy is a very good phone to this day, I have a Note a while back and loved it, till I smashed it to bits at a concert. I never usually get a phone fixed when I break it I usually just buy a new one.

I have two mobile phones I use currently. Don’t ask why because I’m not entirely sure, I use a iPhone X on a daily basis and I usually bring my Oppo Find X3 around.

:( did you get one? what are some of the problems you've been having with it?

good

I might look into it. I used Lineage OS on the Essential Ph-1 and it was even slower than the stock ROM.

You should be able to use Lineage OS on your 8 Pro: https://lineageosroms.com/instantnoodlep/

I should try this I2P stuff. I have this site's clearnet and TOR address bookmarked, but I haven't tired using I2P.

PinePhone suckssse you prob like me just like the idea of it. In reality the hardware sucks and so does the software.

Yeah, the provider that hosts the site now did planned maintenance on a VPS node. I got the email three days prior, but didn't read it. -_-

Anytime the server gets rebooted it's usually down a long time because I have to connect to it and enter the encryption passphrase to unlock the storage. I have a monitoring alert setup but emails don't wake me up. This causes things that'd normally take the site down for a minute or two to last hours as the server remains 'on' but inaccessible since it's not fully booted until I do my part.

With that said, I'm moving the site to it's final home in the coming month. I own a small web hosting company, and we got hardware going online in the Netherlands within the next couple of days. We own our own IP space and am just waiting for it to be announced at the DC before we can start setting stuff up. Give me a couple of weeks before I get around to getting ramble moved over. All existing points of access should continue to work without having to do any readdressing (Tor, I2P, Yggdrasil and obviously the clearnet)

I noticed that the clearnet site was down a couple days ago. Any news on that?

No problem! I'll be using Yggdrasil a lot more moving forward. I found out that I can easily use it to serve HTTP tunnels from the I2P network aswell, so sites like ramble.i2p now go <-- visitor --><-- i2p network --><-- yggdrasil tunnel--><--website--> (whereas before the tunnel was served over the clearnet)

tube.i2p works the same way, and I've been listening to albums through it all night long with no issues.

I've been searching github/lab the last hour or so looking for cool projects to host on the network as well. Any suggestions on a good addition?

Great to see, thanks for bringing Ramble onto the new network!

I admire your persistence, but what a completely pointless exercise.

I've never had a smartphone. I currently still use an old candybar style Nokia phone. It can call and text and has tetris. But I want a PinePhone!!!

Idk 😹

This is exactly what I'm searching for right now also

Strange coincidence, with the news of UK's journalist persecution under the idea his reports could be used for what they call "jigsaw identification".

I have to assume the ad gurus behind both are in the same milieu.

Hope you will like it. :)

depends on what phone you use

I can on a desktop or laptop. Not so easy on a mobile.
