Google Play Sandbox on GrapheneOS: how easy and practical is it?


I'm picking up a new Google Pixel and want to put GrapheneOS on it. Heard about Graphene since before their splits at CopperHead, but I havent had the chance the try the OS out. So I searched around and GrapheneOS allowed Google Play sandbox.

Does this function similar to a "Private Space" on newer Android or "Secure Folder" on Samsung? So I can enjoy the Graphene stuff but whenever I need Google Play specific apps, I use the sandbox environment?

Mostly, I will be using bank apps under the sandbox. Are there problems with OTP in this environment? In Samsung's Secure Folder, my bank app will have problems sending OTP unless I send it outside, i.e. out of Secure Folder.

in reply to mazzilius_marsti

Create a private space. Install sandboxed google play in there. Install banking app or any other google play dependant app in private space.

That's the most reasonable and less hassle method in my opinon. Lock it down when not in use. Cons? no push notification when locked down.

in reply to mazzilius_marsti

Play services work great, even Android auto works.

Personally, I don't bother with seperate profiles. I want push notifications for somethings. However if you only want bank apps, a separate profile may fit your use.

There is a "compatibility mode" you can turn on for apps that don't work. This relaxes the restrictions the app has and sometimes works.

OTP works fine for google account 2fa and MS authenticator.
I don't think you'll have an issue with an app's 2fa as long as whatever other app needed are also part of the profile, be that SMS, email or notification.

Gaza officials say children killed in strike as Israeli military admits 'error'


Ten people, including six children, have been killed in an Israeli air strike while waiting to fill water containers in central Gaza on Sunday, emergency service officials say.

Their bodies were sent to Nuseirat's al-Awda Hospital, which also treated 16 injured people including seven children, a doctor there said.

Eyewitnesses said a drone fired a missile at a crowd queuing with empty jerry cans next to a water tanker in al-Nuseirat refugee camp.

The Israeli military said there had been a "technical error" with a strike targeting an Islamic Jihad "terrorist" that caused the munition to fall dozens of meters from the target. The incident is under review, the military added.

"Errors" every day until finally once a semester they accidentally kill some Hamas target and boast their success


Irrigazione Efficiente per Climi Caldi: 5 Soluzioni Moderne


Coltivare con Successo nel Caldo: Sfide e Soluzioni Moderne per l’Irrigazione Industriale

L’agricoltura industriale in climi caldi e aridi richiede strategie d’irrigazione intelligenti. Con la crescente scarsità idrica e temperature in aumento, ottimizzare l’uso dell’acqua non è solo una scelta sostenibile, ma una necessità economica. Ecco 5 soluzioni tecnologiche all’avanguardia per trasformare queste sfide in opportunità:
1. Irrigazione a Goccia di Precisione: Massima Efficienza, Minimo Spreco

Come funziona: Tubi o ali gocciolanti rilasciano acqua direttamente alle radici delle piante, goccia a goccia.
Vantaggi per climi caldi:

Riduce l’evaporazione del 95% rispetto all’aspersione.
Previene la salinizzazione del suolo (critica nelle zone aride).
Fino al 60% di risparmio idrico rispetto a metodi tradizionali.
Ideale per colture ortofrutticole e serre industriali.

2. Pivot Centrali: Automazione su Vaste Estensioni

Come funziona: Sistemi rotanti automatizzati che irrigano grandi campi circolari.
Perché sceglierli in aree calde:

Copertura uniforme anche con vento moderato (comune nei deserti).
Programmazione notturna per ridurre l’evaporazione diurna.
Scalabili fino a 500+ ettari con telecontrollo integrato.

  1. Micro-Irrigazione ad Aspersione: Flessibilità Mirata

Come funziona: Erogatori a bassa pressione che nebulizzano acqua su aree specifiche.
Efficacia in ambienti aridi:

Adatta a terreni irregolari e colture a file.
Riduce il consumo energetico (-40% vs aspersori tradizionali).
Opzione “cooling” per proteggere piante da stress termico estremo.

Micro-Irrigazione ad Aspersione
4. Subirrigazione: La Rivoluzione Sotterranea

Come funziona: Tubi interrati che idratano le radici senza bagnare la superficie.
Benefici chiave per il caldo:

Elimina quasi completamente l’evaporazione superficiale.
Riduce le infestanti (+20% efficienza fertilizzanti).
Soluzione ideale per aree ventose o con acque saline.

5. Pompe Solari: Energia Sostenibile per l’Irrigazione

Come funzionano: Fotovoltaico alimenta pompe per pozzi o bacini senza costi energetici.
Perfette per regioni assolate:

Fino all’80% di risparmio sui costi operativi vs diesel.
Affidabili anche in aree remote senza rete elettrica.
Tecnologia plug-and-play.

Introduction - Steve's Tutorial on Jujutsu, an alternative front-end to git


Jujutsu is essentially an alternative front-end or "porcelain" to git, both magnificiently simplified and powerful.

I tried it after using Emacs Magit for about six or seven years, and jujutsu is really easier to use than git and useful if one wants a tidy public history of changes (with "tidy" and "public" as Linus Torvalds recommends). Plus it is fully compatible to git as backend - other contributors will not even note you are using it.

in reply to HaraldvonBlauzahn

I highly recommend giving Jujutsu a try. It didnt take long to learn at all and just feels so much more flexible and intuitive.
in reply to HaraldvonBlauzahn

Hrm... It looks interesting but it seems too dedicated to crafting "the perfect commit".

Changing our description changed the commit ID! This is why we have both IDs: the change ID has not changed, but the commit ID has. This allows us to evolve our commit over time, but still have a stable way to refer to all versions of it.


I don't want to "evolve a commit" - I want to capture my changes over time. If I decide later that I want to prepare the commit for merging I will.

I hate it because it's different - but even trying to give it a "benefit of the doubt" I really can't see this as better. It's not like it's difficult to create a "tidy" commit with git as is.

And as far as "easier to use goes"... well... Here's how you get a list of anonymous branches

jj log -r 'heads(all())'

And since they eschew branches with names you get to memorize hash strings instead of branch names that describe the thing you were doing?
jj new pzoqtwuv yykpmnuq -m "merge better documentation"
# vs. 
git merge my_branch_Name

I'm unconvinced. Though jj undo looks neat (and also crazy dangerous unless you can undo an undo?).

No trouble, you can still name branches if you want. And no, you don't have to type the whole changeset hash, the first one to three letters are usually sufficient.

Also, branch names are not a permanent thing, they disappear after you merged them.

If you want, to can put an empty commit with the description of what you want to do at the top of your changes, and then use "jj split" to move changes to different commits before it.
There are several common work flows which are explained in Klabnik's blog post.

in reply to atzanteol

Yeah you can undo undo and also resurrect undone states.

If the readability of the commit history really does not matter to you - for exsmple, nobody needs to read this code again - it's possible that jj does not give you enough advantage. Everyone works different.

in reply to HaraldvonBlauzahn

I mean... It does and I will use git to manage commit histories as necessary. I don't see jj as solving that problem or even making it easier. Doing a single squash-commit or a rebase -i when I merge a branch is relatively trivial.

And from what I can tell it's much easier to do a git pull upstream master than to do jj new skdfsld dskfjas since you'll likely have to lookup those hashes? I mean I wouldn't remember them.

in reply to atzanteol

One takes them from the last commit log and uses the first few letters. Steve Klabnik shows how they are used in practice. It makes no sense to repeat it here.

in reply to HaraldvonBlauzahn

So - it's not the length of the random garbage that is the issue it's the fact that it's random garbage that I have no chance of remembering after 5 seconds and switching between branches. All my branches are instead random hashes that I'll need to lookup or remember.

I've read through the blog. It sounds like they've taken the minor inconvenience of doing a git merge --squash and distributed that pain across every-single-commit you're ever going to make instead. All to get "tidy commits" which were possible before anyway.

I was actually rather interested in the idea of jj being something that made history-rewriting easier (e.g. for removing bad commits with passwords and the like). But the fact that it almost completely throws out the entire concept of working on named branches (yes you can have them - but "One interesting thing about branches in jj that's different than branches in git is that branches do not automatically move." - genius) is just ridiculous. And to claim that it's now simpler just seems like gaslighting.

Looking for a music player


I'm looking for a music player on Pop!_OS that supports playlists, repeating a single track while still being able to swap tracks in the playlist, and also supports fading between songs and when stopping playback. And ideas on what to try?

So far I've tried VLC, Audacious, and Rhythmbox, but none of those seem to support all of those requirements. (Rhythmbox was close but the repeat one from the toolbar plugin doesn't work.)

Edit: Got it working in Rhythmbox after toggling the repeat options a few more times. Still curious if there are other options out there though.

Youtube Embedded player acting weird for anyone else?


So Freetube got hit with 403 errors again. I tried to open a video in the embedded player and I keep getting hit with them demanding I log into to prove I am not a bot. Is anyone else getting hit with this?
in reply to Brutticus

This has been happening all weekend, I use a vpn and often change servers to get something to play. But refreshing with patience and at times shutting down freetube then restarting has helped. It has been a huge pain lately for sure.
in reply to Brutticus

Yes. YT constantly thinks I'm a bot, so I watch some freetube channels in a yt window while logged in. 50/50 atmo. Annoying, but perhaps an addon to freetube could fix some of it by detecting/playing same video/channel on other open platforms, or a common distributed video cache perhaps. crossing my fingers for any solution soon..

machine translation of a paragraph of the original article:

The police's solution: It's none other than a Trojan. Unable to break the encryption, they infect the traffickers' phones with malware, subject to judicial authorization. This way, they gain full access to the device: apps, images, documents, and conversations. Obviously, GrapheneOS isn't capable of protecting itself (like any Android) against this malware.


::: spoiler original text in Castilian

La solución de la policía. Esa no es otra que un troyano. Ante la imposibilidad de romper el cifrado, infectan los teléfonos de los traficantes con software malicioso, previa autorización judicial. De esta manera, consiguen acceso total al dispositivo: apps, imágenes, documentos y conversaciones. Evidentemente, GrapheneOS no es capaz de protegerse (como cualquier Android) ante este malware.

It does have a signature in the bottom right, so I guess you could track down the artist to find out for sure, but with my first comment, I was just pointing out the comedy of kids with facial hair.

Recommend a simple, small cheap laptop < 15" I can chuck in my bag for use in coffee shops!


  • I'll buy used, so don't want latest and greatest. It won't be my main laptop.
  • to run linux obviously.
  • good battery life, light, not too small to use, but large enough to type on (obviously can do without numeric keypad). not too fragile!
  • I'll be doing some light python work, perhaps some c/c++ but I'm not after a workhorse, just something for quickly fixing bugs, or making notes on
  • sub 200 GBP / 250USD I guess

I'd be interested in hearing recommendations, and also what to avoid!

in reply to catty

I got myself an old EEE PC for exactly that purpose. (Except, substitute python with lua).

8h battery life, cost me €20 and does what it's supposed to. Just make sure you get one with an Atom N280 or better. The popular N270 is 32bit only, and more and more programs are dropping 32bit support. Some of them you can DIY compile for 32bit, some you really don't want to.

(For example, compiling Node on an Atom N270 takes around 3 days.)

I had one with an N270 first and replaced it with one with an N450 to get 64bit.

Maxed it out with 2GB RAM, a cheapo €10 SSD that maxes out SATA and overclocked it to 2GHz.

It's not fast by any stretch of the imagination, but it's totally ok for editing text files with Kate and compiling with platformio.

Open webUI connected to ollama can do this. In openwebui, if you edit any one of your responses, it forks the conversation.

Blender HDR and the reference white issue | About Blender's HDR support on Wayland


From Sebastian Wick’s Mastodon

Blender is getting HDR on Linux via Wayland before Windows! This isn't by accident, but shows how creating a system with a different design creates better results for users and application developers.


Firefox is in this same boat too. It will get HDR support on Linux* sooner than Windows. Firefox currently only supports HDR on MacOS.

I value security and privacy but Ive realized some of my processes have become too complex, like using syncthing to keep my keepass on my phone and PC aligned. I'm not confident that older man version of me will be able to keep up so Ive stared valuing simplicity.

Im sure many will argue that it is simple but between backups and keys and passwords it really is a lot, especially with a new device each time.

proton pass vs simplelogin - aliases


I'm trying to migrate off gmail and apple services and ended up getting a domain and going to proton and using simplelogin for making aliases. But now I'm looking at proton pass, which comes free with my plan and lets me create aliases and wondering why I did that.

Ideally, I want nobody to have my main email address. everything gets an alias and dumps into the main. if the main address is found out, I just kill it and get another and point all the aliases to that. if an alias gets spammy or sold off to obnoxious marketing boobs, I kill the alias and create a new one.

I got started with migrating a few things over today into the aliases I had on my domain with simplelogin. I started to wonder what would happen if I replied to any of these and unlike apple hide-my-mail, it looks like these expose my actual address, unless I go through the trouble of going to simplelogin and getting an reverse alias link through them, which is an annoying pain in the ass. looking to see if there was any integration like apple's icloud had, I find proton pass is included in my mail plus plan and lets me do what simplelogin already was doing, complete with my domain being in the alias address!

So my question is why did I set up two seperate services for this? can I reply to incoming emails from the aliases created in proton pass without them revealing my address?

I have needed to get away from google for a while and am finally getting off my ass to do it, but apple hide my email was so simple to use whereas proton seems to have these weird oversights.

in reply to muusemuuse

So my question is why did I set up two seperate services for this?


Unfortunate side effect of buying someone else's product instead of just making your own.

can I reply to incoming emails from the aliases created in proton pass without them revealing my address?


Yes. It's called a relay for a reason. When you receive an email it will come from a relay address, not the actual sender. You reply to that relay address and then the other party receives your relay address (alias).

in reply to muusemuuse

Check out DuckDuckGo, they also have an email alias forwarding system like SimpleLogin. I have a different email address/alias for each account that I have and they all end up in my Proton inbox.
Also, you’re able to reply and send email with the DuckDuckGo address from Proton mail.

Created a Post/Group about how to De-Google. The details about my set-up is also there. Hope it helps:

There's no reason to sign up for DuckDuckGo's service, since OP already uses Proton (which owns SimpleLogin). It would just be unnecessarily increasing their footprint.
in reply to Ilandar

Ahh, apologies then.
I thought OP wanted to de-google. I use DuckDuckGo because of their duck player; it opens YouTube on a separate window without all the extra stuff you don’t want (just the video you wanted to see). I guess OP can use PeerTube?
I’m quite happy with my Proton Unlimited but it’s not for everyone.
And yeah, I’m a browser hopper.
in reply to somerandomperson

Yes, you can have multiple duck addresses at the same time. There’s a personal and private duck address.

Composing email:
duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help…

About duck addresses:

I also used SimpleLogin and loved it until I subscribed to the Proton products. Like you, I haven’t needed to use SimpleLogin because of Proton Pass. Haven’t used iCloud since 2021 and have no regrets.

is RISCV mature enough for desktop use? Are there chips based on RISCV that would at least be as good as a AMD/Intel or ARM chips?

If you like working in slow motion, yes, sure.

Source : I have a Banana-Pi SBC banana-pi.org/en/banana-pi-sbc… and... it works, running Linux proper, with a desktop environment, which is in itself pretty cool IMHO but damn, you have to be patient. That being said "just" already being at that stage on economically affordable hardware is amazing. We are probably not far, say few years at most, with usable RISC-V chips for mundane tasks, e.g. text authoring, coding, Web browsing, but don't expect compilation of a browser, Blender, or gaming on this for few more years. IMHO it will go fast because it's catching up so the path is rather well laid down, which is much harder than innovating and pushing the envelope.

I wonder if the US is trying to slow down the development of RISCV in order to mantain egemony over chip production. I think RISCV poses a big "security" flaw for them being totally open source.
in reply to WhiteQuasar

I guess it depends what you mean by "chip production".

AFAICT mostly via Chip War (2022) and reading a bit on the topic there are few bottlenecks, e.g chip design IP like ARM (UK) or lithography machines like ASML (NL) or high efficiency chip production like TSMC (Taiwan) but overall the grip from the US is mostly on democratization and scale with AMD, NVIDIA, Broadcom or even Intel, namely making a LOT of chips, not necessarily high end (some are) or mobile (also some), for a relatively low price. What I mean is that China is already claiming that they are producing about on-par IPS with e.g. Loongson.

So yes there are for sure incumbents based in the US that do not want RISCV and overall open architectures to make significant progress but is it fair to call them "the US" I'm not sure. Are they heavily leaning on US lawmakers to get their positions strengthened? Maybe. Maybe they do not yet do so simply because they don't believe it's a threat yet, nor it might be ever be.

I believe that in chip production you can lock production via innovation but also, like in other sectors, solely with the supply chain. ASML is powerful because they basically own their markets but also because who would contract with newcomers versus a very well established company that can provide all the insurances imaginable that they will indeed deliver on time a specific amount? Why risk it when you are already contracting with the leader?

Sure there is a potential innovator dilemma but what could prevent e.g. NVIDIA or Intel to switch to RISC-V if somehow they can dominate there too thanks to both their existing expertise but also supply chain stronghold?

in reply to WhiteQuasar

In what way does it pose a big security flaw? And what are you basing the thought that the USA are slowing down development?
in reply to BeardedGingerWonder

Being an open source architecture gives everyone (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and basically everyone else the US doesn't like, which apparently is most of world) the freedom to innovate at a fast pace, this is what I mean by security flaw. My thought that they could somewhat try to slow down the development is based on the rational thinking that 1. They are actually leading the chip develpment and 2. if someday everyone gets high performance chips (which is still not the case with RISCV yet) than everyone can get better defense industries, better intelligence systems, better military equipment. I'm not implying that they are actively doing it but that it might be in their interest to do so to maintain some kind of military egemony over their enemies, or at least to never be in a significant gap with anyone.

Risc v is an instruction set architecture not a chip design, the actual hardware implementation of any given risc v processor won't necessarily be open source and available to all, it's just a guarantee that if the spec is implemented then code compiled for risc v will run on a RISC V processor.

China has had access to x86 for years, they've not been able to implement a chip on par with current gen AMD or Intel chips.

in reply to WhiteQuasar

US sanctions massively setback RISC-V.

We would have had the Milk-V OASIS last year , something better by now, and the answer to “as good as ARM” would be yes.

But Sophgo, the company making the SoC was accused of helping Huawei get access to restricted technology. So TSMC refused to make their chips. And the Milk-V OASIS was cancelled.

Massive blow to RISC-V.

If only he had done something early to protect Columbia students and California farm workers. He did nothing, thinking he would never get deported because he is white and believes in truth, justice, and the Amerikkkan way. By not defending Julian Assange, he left Clark Kent open to arrest.


The Jewish diaspora must confront what Israel is doing in our name


Judaism is not Zionism, and those who argue they are one and the same are being fundamentally dishonest. Yet collectively, Jews are often held responsible when the world's only Jewish state claims to act in our name.

And the media must confront Zionists when they equate Judaism to Zionism.
