@elena Warning: I'm completely green in the space.
What use cases those thingies are best at? I bet they excel at self-hosting, but if someone wanted to use them to run desktop on top of them, how viable would that be? Asking out of curiosity, hoping I didn't asked something dumb xD

@tragivictoria thatβs precisely my current use case: I set up my Raspi as a Linux desktop computer running Ubuntu. I love how I can flash distros on a microSD and have them running in no time. Nobody was impressed by that though π₯²
And yes typical use cases are Pis used as inexpensive home servers. Theyβre just so wonderful!

@d1 ππ€£ TBF I was trying to show off the Raspi as a Linux desktopβ¦ but nobody in this house has ever used a desktop computer. Or at least not in decades.
I couldnβt even find a spare keyboard when I had connection issues with my wireless one π₯²

@elena lovely! I have a raspberry pi 4 somewhere with that case (my RPi5 is my alternative computer)
@caffetino so cool! My RPi5 is now my Linux desktop computer (running Ubuntu)

@elena they don't know...they don't understand...

@elena love these little things! I have one running Kodi for an open source streaming box and it's lovely.
@reillypascal thanks! Iβm taking notes in case I get an extra one π π€

@joel @SnazzyGumball Update: I see that DietPi could be installed on my old Raspberry Pi 3β¦ itβs sitting at home doing nothing. I canβt wait to try it out! π€©

@elena @joel @SnazzyGumball if you fancy trying something a bit different, FreeBSD is also officially available for the Pi 3!

@teapot_ben @joel @SnazzyGumball freeBSD is on my to do list (for maybe late 2026... I've got so much to tackle before then) π β

La giornata inizia splendidamente. Durante la notte ho dormito poco (nulla) ma almeno ho visto le stelle, che da noi ormai sono impensabili.
Verso le 7 del mattino perΓ² Γ¨ arrivata una perturbazione: la pioggia era incessante e allora ho superato i crinali dell'Isola e poi sono scesi fino a Playa se san Santiago, un porticciolo stupendo. 33 gradi.
Γ incredibile come, in poco spazio, le Canarie ti diano quello che vuoi.

Someone recently managed to get on a Microsoft Teams call with representatives from phone hacking company Cellebrite, and then leaked a screenshot of the companyβs capabilities against many Google Pixel phones, according to a forum post about the leak and 404 Mediaβs review of the material.
The leak follows others obtained and verified by 404 Media over the last 18 months. Those leaks impacted both Cellebrite and its competitor Grayshift, now owned by Magnet Forensics. Both companies constantly hunt for techniques to unlock phones law enforcement have physical access to.
βYou can Teams meeting with them. They tell everything. Still cannot extract esim on Pixel. Ask anything,β a user called rogueFed wrote on the GrapheneOS forum on Wednesday, speaking about what they learned about Cellebrite capabilities. GrapheneOS is a security- and privacy-focused Android-based operating system.
rogueFed then posted two screenshots of the Microsoft Teams call. The first was a Cellebrite Support Matrix, which lays out whether the companyβs tech can, or canβt, unlock certain phones and under what conditions. The second screenshot was of a Cellebrite employee.Β
π‘Do you know anything else about phone unlocking technology? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.According to another of rogueFedβs posts, the meeting took place in October. The meeting appears to have been a sales call. The employee is a βpre sales expert,β according to a profile available online.
The Support Matrix is focused on modern Google Pixel devices, including the Pixel 9 series. The screenshot does not include details on the Pixel 10, which is Googleβs latest device. It discusses Cellebriteβs capabilities regarding βbefore first unlockβ, or BFU, when a piece of phone unlocking tech tries to open a device before someone has typed in the phoneβs passcode for the first time since being turned on. It also shows Cellebriteβs capabilities against after first unlock, or AFU, devices.Β Β
Screenshot via GrapheneOS forum.The Support Matrix also shows Cellebriteβs capabilities against Pixel devices running GrapheneOS, with some differences between phones running that operating system and stock Android. Cellebrite does support, for example, Pixel 9 devices BFU. Meanwhile the screenshot indicates Cellebrite cannot unlock Pixel 9 devices running GrapheneOS BFU.
In a statement, Victor Cooper, senior director of corporate communications and content strategy at Cellebrite, told 404 Media βWe do not disclose or publicize the specific capabilities of our technology. This practice is central to our security strategy, as revealing such details could provide potential criminals or malicious actors with an unintended advantage.β Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
GrapheneOS is a long running project which makes sizable security changes to an Android device. βGrapheneOS is focused on substance rather than branding and marketing. It doesn't take the typical approach of piling on a bunch of insecure features depending on the adversaries not knowing about them and regressing actual privacy/security. It's a very technical project building privacy and security into the OS rather than including assorted unhelpful frills or bundling subjective third party apps choices,β the projectβs website reads.
As well as being used by the privacy and security conscious, criminals also turn to GrapheneOS. After the FBI secretly ran its own backdoored encrypted phone company for criminals, some drug traffickers and the people who sell technology to the underworld shifted to using GrapheneOS devices with Signal installed, according to interviews with phone sellers.
In their forum post, rogueFed wrote that the βmeeting focused specific on GrapheneOS bypass capability.β
They added βvery fresh info more coming.β

π± On /e/OS, alternative app stores like F-Droid just work fine. But this freedom could disappear elsewhere.
Google is planning to restrict app installation outside its Play Store while many phone makers are locking bootloaders, making it harder to even try other options than Big Tech.
Act now!Β Tell the EU to enforce the Digital Markets Act:Β "Stop Google from blocking alternative app stores and free software."
