How is Pinephone coming along toward this year's end? I check in every now and then, but I need it to be where current Lineage/Graphene are. I don't need trivial software (games et al), but I need it to be automatic enough* t

Is there a database or "online myth/story" archive of wacky bugs like this and in the comments? These would make for great "cocoa at night" reading!

Been running OpenWRT on routers for the better part of 5+ years now. I'm not crazy about some of the software being very minimal[0], and it sometimes takes a few tries[1], but it runs quite well on a Linksys 1900ac. Time for a weekend

I wonder if it would be better to start with a new codebase at this point. ~20 years of code, fixes, workarounds, and with a lot of outdated methodologies[0]. I'd love for there to be a competitor to something like Eve or Elite Dangero

Considering it very likely is from 1999, (it is at least as old as around 2002-03 when I found out about it) it is unfair to say that it looks horrible compared to today's graphics.

For what it is worth, it is refreshing to see a raw comment like this one on here. So many times have I seen inflammatory stories, or distressing news posted, only to be met with a collective emphasis on neutral reasoning ("assume good
