Interesting, the Cloudflare CAPTCHA works for me, but I’m on the Fairphone 5. I haven’t tried supertuxcart but minecraft (java) works pretty well. Youtube works for me too, but that might be because of missing hardware acceleration drivers on your phone.
I wouldn’t call PostmarketOS that niche. It’s a phone distro, but also runs on SBCs and allows installing the non mobile version of DEs
I’ll give your packing tape technique a try. I really hope my ender 3 survives this.
How sensitive is pp to air drafts in your experience? Do I need an enclosure, some articles said I’ll need one, others said it’s optional?
Does it show up as an interface in ip a?
If it doesn’t it usually means, that you don’t have drivers for it / the drivers aren’t in mainline, but sometimes it’s the usb role switching of the phone being stuck in peripheral mode (a reboot with the adapter plugged in usually fixes it).
Depending on what you want to do with the phone and how permanent the connection is, an alternative method would be to connect it to the router with a usb cable. Enable the usb debug connection on in pmbootstrap when building the image (it might be possible to do this on the phone too) and set up routing on the router and add an ip address and a default route to the debug interface on the phone, it should behave as if it were a normal network card (but with a dhcp server running on it).
I’m sorry I didn’t read that you posted on this before before finishing this, I’m way too tired qwq
These prices are terrible, even for Europe.
You can basically do it like luks does, but encrypting the files separately with gocryptfs, but like with all file encryption, you’re leaking directory structure.
Zebra works with cups, the ppd files are included with cups
The performance drop from virtualizing nics shouldn’t be nearly as big. How are you passing the vlans to the VM? are you passing all over one virtio nic or one virtio nic for each.
The setup I ran for multiple years was basicly a bridge interface on the host for each vlan and a seperate virtio nic to the opnsense VM for each, I got almost 10 gbit/s like that with 8gigs of ram for opnsense and 4 or 8 cores (I cant remember) with hyperthreading of a 2nd gen epyc. I didn’t do any optimisations for virtio.
If you already have/can run a local server, then maybe storing the luks passphrase there and running a script on it which sshs into the remote server end enters the stored passphrase on command. Maybe a simple http server triggers it, which you could auth using forward auth of your reverse proxy, so you wouldnt need to implement auth in your script.
Of cause the passphrase is stored in plain text, but that will be the case in any case not using a tpm.
You could do notifications with a simple webhook of your favourite chat app, or by running a ntfy server (and app) and also sending the notification with a curl from a initrd script.
You could use a different homeserver like tuwunel (a conduit fork), which is wayy easier to setup than the official one.
