in the US, no different

Looks like a dystopia to me, can’t get anywhere by foot and all the cars look like the same general design

Canta

Don’t bother, there’s still Unihertz’s spyware in there. LineageOS and derivatives are buildable as generic images that use the OEM drivers, reported working on that specific device. It’s a complete pain to build but some random people publish premade files, see here (get the first “Vanilla EXT4”) and here. More options there.

There’s a manual specifically for the Unihertz Jelly Star here. Although the download link there is outdated and the MicroG instructions are also outdated (follow the official ones instead).

If you don’t want to use the phone, may as well give it to a comrade locally that wants it.

in the US (…) we got rid of 2G

Sad. Although there should be modern bricks with 4G that aren’t too expensive, usually marketed as “for grandparents”.

There are other phone manufacturers than Nokia. Always have been. Shocking, I know.

EDIT: looked around and the ones with reasonable prices are usually the carrier contract ones from the carrier store and carrier prepaid ones from literal grocery stores :/

FuriOS

Never heard of it.

To preface, most active rom development used to take place on forums, mainly XDA. Nowadays it’s on telegram, which is gated unfortunately

That user said “LineageOS”, not “black sky project andromeda void to infinitum nanogapps safetynet bypass v pizde optimized custom kernel gambling android read only memory: gold bar edition”.

bootloader lock sux

True.

50 USD

That’s 2 weeks worth of groceries (at least where I am from), what the hell man.

Linux phones

You are probably thinking of the devkits. The community has mostly moved on to getting existing devices to run their favorite distribution. Which is mostly for fun’s sake, since pretty much everyone has a desktop computer with the same (although IIRC someone installed PostmarketOS from a public use PC, that was nice). The community is tiny since it’s right in between “modern day smartphones are a necessity” and “Android isn’t open enough”, anywhere below and above (incl. spectrums) are unlikely to think of getting (and daily using) desktop Linux on a phone.

dumbphone

(??)

I keep stating this and I will state it again. An MT62xxx nugget costs ~10 USD new online OR ~4 USD old new stock at the closest to me bazaar. OR ask relatives if they have a keypad phone in a drawer somewhere, you will probably get it for FREE and it will have quite a lot more functionality and homebrew (not exactly a “dumbphone”, more like a “smartphone” but by 2000s definitions).

not everyone on here is super tech savy

Well, I personally wouldn’t consider it difficult. If you happen to get a phone that allows proper bootloader lock of course (bypassing gets more complicated, not end of the world most of the time). See here and there.

Ask friends. If you don’t have any, I can volunteer to remote into your computer and do the thing, actually.

bricked (…) Unihertz Jelly Star

Do you still have it? Should be relatively easy to unbrick that nugget.

Erm, I hope you didn’t know that someone literally just ran a few commands on an off the shelf phone and increased the price tag.

Well, someone did exactly that with Sonic Unleashed (XBox 360) IIRC. And a few select N64 titles.

The produced code is complete garbage, it’s basically the machine code disassembled, but instead of assembly it’s some technically valid C that can be forcefully shoved back up a compiler. Due to register sizes and calling conventions being different across architectures, there was zero chance of making the giant blob cooperate with native builds of the libraries it used, so some poor people had to pick out everything machine specific in the giant pile of shit that came out of the disassembler and fake it. That took forever.

The PS3 runs on an ancient fork of the FreeBSD kernel. We don’t even know which version. No compatibility even on syscall level.

Now, I remember that some random person added Nintendo Switch syscalls to Linux aarch64 then took GPU emulation from Yuzu. They stopped when it ran some Tetris. Now, that was relatively easy given the Switch doesn’t have too much of special hardware. Also, the CPU there only has the base instruction set + md5 extension, basically every aarch64 chip has that.

Now, the PS3 is full of random DSPs (basically coprocessors that are shit at everything except some specific tasks). And even if you get a PowerPC machine powerful enough (like some decommissioned server), it still probably won’t match all of the instructions. Catching SIGILL to emulate them… meh, you are basically writing an emulator. Which I bet would be slower than just emulating the whole thing at once.

Give instructions for toilet paper weapon plz

mb, updated

• Write down GUID for sda6
• copy sda5 contents somewhere
• dd sda6 to sda2
• delete sda6
• change the GUID for sda2 to the one written down
• fsck sda6 to fix size
• make sda1’s type EFI
• copy sda5 contents to sda1
• delete sda5
• you can now resize whatever is left (if your partition tool doesn’t have resize, just delete and recreate with the same starting sector, again you have to keep GUID for root and fsck it to fix size)

I love how little of the projects mentioned here are truly Linux specific.

“Firefox” lol.

Anyways, MUSL.

modulated digital by same definition

That’s exactly why I don’t like Linux that damn CIA project. Once I leave parents’ crib, imma sell my best laptop (with no parents looking at me like an absolute moron) then get a ThinkPad T450p from a crackhead and then get someone else to buy that one MacBook CPU with an adapter board from Aliexpress and give that to me so that I can finally compute in peace with some BSD.

There’s another repo with a Docker file and that was all written with Claude too for some reason. Though I don’t see why in the ever living fuck this would need Docker.

Also, why are we even getting excited over a vacuum cleaner existing as a pile of markdown files talking about it? There are lots of these, actually.
