Is anyone here using a (non-Android) linux Smartphone? Curious what type of phones y’all are using and what your experience has been.

    I can’t even get wire guard to work and he’s writing his own scripts for a Linux phone. How do I get this knowledge?

      When I.lernt coding backnin the 2000s we had the term “Horas de aplanar el culo” (hours of flattening ass) shit takes time, patience, perseverance and the humility of always remember that some possibly asian kid did it in a fraction of the time with a fraction of the body hair you have. But that doesn’t invalidate what you did.

        It’s accelerating now. I hang out on App subs and people say shit like ‘it took me a whole month to develop this app’, some even do it in ‘days’.

        I’ve just released and it took me three years. I’m sure their apps are Ai slop, but that’s what I’m competing with.

      Honestly, it’s mostly just trying shit out, breaking your install and fixing it, and having fun. In the grand scheme of things doing all that stuff is not that difficult, mostly tedious; my day job involves more complex and often interesting problems. It’s just gluing together things which other people wrote, looking at what breaks, and either fixing it properly or just hacking it together with perl.

      Finally, I can confide to you that I’ve spent half a day getting wireguard working on that very phone a couple months ago, only to find out it was because I didn’t poke the right holes in the firewall :)
