This isn't the completely finalized design, so the back of the phone, and the protection that came in the box aren't completely final and might change a little.
The very point of the Murena 2 is to offer a privacy focused phone: it comes with /e/ OS, and it has a privacy switch to disconnect the cameras and microphone, and another switch to completely shut off any connectivity the phone has. The first switch, for the camera and mic is a physical one: it completely shuts off the connection to the camera and the mic.
The connectivity switch is purely software, and will just turn on airplane mode and will mute your phone, so it's more a "big do not disturb" mode than a privacy switch.
It comes with a mediatek CPU, with 4 performance cores at 2.1Ghz and 4 efficiency cores at 2 Ghz, it has 8 gigs of RAM, 128 gigs of storage, plus a micro SD slot. It supports dual SIM, and the OLED screen is 6.43 inches and a resolution of 1080x2400, plus a hole punch cut out for the selfie camera, which is 25 megapixels.
On the back, you get 3 camera lenses, one is the standard lens, at 64 megapixels, one is an ultrawide, at 13 MP and one is a telephoto lens at 5 Megapixels.
It has a 4000 milliamp hour battery, with support for high speed charging at 18W, it supports Wifi ac and bluetooth 4.2, and it's 4G, not 5G.
They also say they have a 6 out of 10 on repairability, and they'll offer spare parts and schematics for easy repair. They'll provide 5 years of support for the software at least.
On the Murena 2, /e/ OS runs OK. It's not perfectly smooth, animations can sometimes jitter a bit, but generally, the experience is what you'd expect from a mid range Android smartphone: it's not high refresh rate, buttery smoothness, but it's definitely not annoying. In some apps, you'll definitely notice stutters, like in the App Lounge when scrolling, but navigating the phone is good enough, and video playback and games run well.
Haptics don't seem to be perfectly configured yet, as typing on the keyboard provides a very tiny sort of clicky rattle instead of a nice vibration, and going back using gestures also doesn't feel super tactile, but that's probably because it's a pre production model.
The 2 privacy switches work perfectly, with the one on the right toggling airplane mode and do not disturb, and the one on the left shutting down the camera and the mic, both have a little LED as well to indicate that these switches are on, although handling of that could be improved, as launching the camera app with the privacy toggle on, will spit out an error, instead of a smoother message indicating your privacy toggle is on.
Testing the phone further, the screen is really nice and bright, with very vivid colors, it feels pretty damn nice to use, but that's probably because it's OLED.
The cameras are pretty basic, the telephoto had a very hard time focusing on anything for me, but the other 2 worked fine, although you won't find the same kind of post processing you'll get on most Android phones, so your pictures might not look as sharp or well balanced as on, say, a Pixel or even a Samsung A series phone. The front facing camera, though, is pretty solid, and produces nice pictures all things considered.
The speakers are decent enough for a phone, they won't blow you away or anything, but they get pretty loud without distorting too much or at all. They are bottom firing, there's no "stereo" speaker using the earpiece of the phone. The microphone isn't great though, your vocal messages and phone calls won't sound extremely crisp.
With the kickstarter, the phone is 399€, without it, it will be 499€.

“When you finally get tired of your ISP router, one of the most-recommended replacements is making your own with a custom OPNsense firewall. This puts the power back in your hands, limits what your ISP can do to your connection, and gives you plenty of protection and features you’ve been missing all this time. But one of the awesome things about OPNsense isn’t just that it’s a powerful router, but that you can make it even better by installing other services as plugins.”
OPNsense is a fork of PFsense, with a more modern UI, more regular updates, and slightly lighter resource requirements.
The plugins listed are all very useful, but it is worth also just making some comments about some of them here, as I’ve been using a few of them myself after having considered alternatives:
Zenarmor can be used for free, but it will then lack the device tracking and alerting for unknown devices, as well as the more advanced rules management and additional profiles. For me, the device identification and management was quite key. Zenarmor is ideal for protecting the LAN side of the firewall by inspecting every network packet, and blocking/altering regarding known and emerging threats. It is similar to the free ntopng plugin, but ntopng really only analyses and inspects, and does no blocking. If you are interested in buying the Zenarmor subscription, my referral code SVNCDQ4TQW294 will get you 10% off your first payment (month or year).
OPNsense does have a built-in IDS/IPS system, but the issue really is you have to configure the rules to be downloaded, and then set them to alert/block, and it is a rather cumbersome process.
CrowdSec is ideal for blocking threats from outside your WAN, also compared to known threats. The free version is usually good enough for most people, and it adjusts the blocking rules of OPNsense.
Tailscale is a remote access tool that is based on WireGuard. For me, its big advantage can be that it is easier to configure end devices for access, and it will work well with dynamic IP addresses. Although Tailscale is a commercial product, the free version will do what most home users require.
The linked article mentions os-git-backup plugin for backing up config changes, but I am using the Nextcloud plugin to back up automatically to my own Nextcloud.
It is really worth exploring the OPNsense plugins as they can provide some really rich extra functionality. Just bear in mind everything may not work, e.g. the SMART drive plugin does not work with my Protectli eMMC drive.
> OPNsense is a fork of PFsense, with a more modern UI, more regular updates, and slightly lighter resource requirements.
Thank you. I am currently using PFsense. I have a need to set up another router at a different location. i as just going to use PFsense again, but I'll check out OPNsense now that you've written about it.
Funny thought came into my head: a modern MMO, but with low poly models for everything. Imagine the disk space and processing power that could be saved because of the low poly models.
Nice idea in concept, would probably be awful in execution considering the modern day version of a "low-poly model." That aside most MMOs already have some form of minimized graphic options for lower graphical power that boosts performance to hell and back. To truly pull off something like this and make a minimized MMO, the game and engine would have to be developed from the starting point of assuming say maybe PS2-era hardware and work to add support upwards. That way the entire thing from every design aspect could be shrunken down, not just the models and textures.

CNBC's Rick Santelli: "The income numbers, really, for the first four months of year — they're stellar ... This administration is criticized for just about everything under the sun ... Why don't we give credit where credit is due? Income really shooting up."
The article reports that **Ukraine has built a significant defense system** against Russia, which analysts have dubbed the "New Donbas Line." This defensive line stretches **350 kilometers** from Kharkiv to Vilne Pole and is designed to halt Russian attacks.
The defense system consists of multiple sections, with some areas heavily reinforced while others remain incomplete. Lessons from the drone warfare have been incorporated into the construction, and certain segments of the line are already **capable of stopping large-scale Russian offensives**. The strategy includes independent defensive points, forcing Russian forces to advance step by step.

“Listmonk is an amazing feature packed self-hosted email newsletter manager. It offers loads of features like analytics (clicks, opens, bounces), templates, public subscription pages, importing subscribers and much more!”
Listmonk is not perfect, as it cannot by default trigger from an RSS feed (although there is a GitHub-based workaround) and it does still need to connect to a mail service. The latter could be a pro or a con, as it certainly gives flexibility and can for example connect to a free service like Gmail.
It does track opening of mails, mail bounces, etc and whilst some may not like this, the point is it is the individual sending the newsletter who tracks and acts on this. It is not some 3rd party corporate who is doing who knows what else with the addresses or embedded tracking.
I started using a “free” mailing subscription service, and I am regretting it now, as I’m getting suspicious of the embedding I did on my website to get it working (this after I removed Google tracking and other similar services).
I do like that listmonk offers the basics of having to actively opt into a mailing list, there are easy opt out options, wiping of user data, and it does all the basics most probably need. The pain though is sometimes finding a good mailing service you don’t have to pay for. Good one’s, for example Proton, don’t allow this type of functionality.
Interestingly, too, I see listmonk can connect using HTTP webhooks to send SMS, Whatsapp, FCM notifications, or any type of messages in fact.
So, I’ll be looking into this open source offering in future to migrate my own mailing list.

tried out MX Linux. it is pretty decent so i do recommend to any who like playing around with other distros. as for me personally, not my cup of tea. i think the style Mint offers hits home very well (might be because i grew up on windoze 95).
next up is finding a 1-2TB SSD and swapping with the current one (laptop so only one at a time) and trying out Debian proper. Ubuntu is a great fall back but didn't really like the layout. just the support online is fantastic
@matthew LMDE? never heard. your assessment is spot on and hence why i want to play with Debian proper. the install process seemed to want to claim my entire disk and it contains data & my Mint daily driver so had to abandon that. thinking of picking up a cheap af 1TB ssd and just swapping for that install. worst case, i just have to crack my laptop open one more time 😛
I agree that staying with Debian based distros saves a lot of time, as most things are documented really well and there's .deb packages for most software you'd want.
Free GNU+Linux base OS. Devuan is a fork of Debian without systemd. Devuan provides a safe upgrade path from Debian, to ensure the right to Init Freedom and avoid entanglement.
@matthew @Escoffier Devuan? that's new to me and so is Void. haven't tried BSD distros yet but just wasn't sure if the jump would be worth the effort. Debian based has been great to me. plus i've a few pis kicking around so nice sticking with one syntax
"Hayatın amacı yalnızca mutlu olmak değildir. Amaç; faydalı, dürüst, merhametli olmak ve geride, ne kadar küçük olursa olsun, dünyayı biraz daha iyi kılacak bir iz bırakmaktır. Gerçek bir yaşam, yaşadığını ve bunu hakkıyla yaptığını gösteren bir miras aktarmaktır.
İster bir çocuğa göz kulak olarak, ister bir bahçeyi büyüterek, ister insan yaşamını iyileştirmek için çalışarak… asıl başarı, derinlerde hissedilen o kesinliktedir: Senin varlığın sayesinde, en az bir yaşam daha özgürce nefes aldıysa, işte o zaman hayatın özüne dokunmuşsun demektir.
Se passer de téléphone portable serait un véritable cauchemar pour la plupart des gens. C’est pourtant ce qu’acceptent de faire des lycéens de Dresde en Allemagne : pendant une semaine, ils n’ont accès ni à leurs smartphones, ni aux ordinateurs, ni à Internet.
Coupés du reste du monde et des réseaux sociaux, ces jeunes découvrent les vertus de la déconnexion sur leur vie, leurs relations amicales, leurs modes de communication et l’image qu’ils ont d’eux-mêmes. Leni, Mayu, Maxi et Emelie font partie de la génération Z, la première à avoir grandi avec les smartphones et Internet. Enfants du numérique, ils sont connectés en permanence, toujours joignables. Selon la dernière étude réalisée, ils passeraient en moyenne 9 heures par jour sur les écrans. Pour ces lycéens de Dresde, rester déconnectés pendant plusieurs jours de vie est donc un véritable défi. Ont-ils du mal à se passer des écrans ? Comment occupent-ils ce temps libre ? Un sevrage aussi radical a-t-il des effets secondaires ?
La détox numérique est devenue tendance. En Pologne, les participants à un stage de survie sous tipis ont une démarche encore plus radicale. Le temps d’un week-end, ils renoncent à quasiment tout le confort de la vie moderne.

"#Errands" is an amazing #Tasks app for #Gnome that syncs perfectly with #Nextcloud. It even supports sub-tasks (and sub-sub-tasks). This is perfect and everything I've wanted and had been looking for.
The only caveat is you need to create an App Password since you can't use your normal Nextcloud account password to authenticate which has nothing to do with Errands.
The image shows a screenshot of a software manager interface with the application "Errands" selected. The application is designed to manage tasks, as indicated by the title "Manage your tasks by Vlad Krupiniskii." The interface features a dark theme with a central window displaying the application's interface, which includes a sidebar with categories such as "Today," "Tags," "Trash," "Shopping List," "Errands," "Work," and "Home." The main window shows a "Shopping List" with tasks like "Breakfast" and "Lunch," each with sub-tasks and completion status. The application's name is "io.github.mrvladus.List," version 46.2.8, and it is 20 MB in size. It is available on the Flathub remote and is in the stable branch. The application has a 4.0-star rating based on 2 reviews. Features include multiple task lists support, adding, removing, and editing tasks and sub-tasks, marking tasks as completed, adding accent colors for each task, syncing with Nextcloud or other CalDAV providers, drag and drop support, and importing .ics files.

My wife randomly sends me call signs when she sees them on license plates etc, and then I look them up in ULS and pretend like it's someone I know (she knows I don't actually)
Anyway, I think it's past time that the FCC lets private hams remain mostly anonymous. I wonder if anyone suggested that as part of all the Delete Delete Delete crap.
Anyway, I think it's past time that the FCC lets private hams remain mostly anonymous.
With deference and respect because I am going to have to disagree.
You want to use the licensed public radio spectrum, you can't be anonymous.
Want to be anonymous? Don't use the licensed spectrum. Most CB/ GPRS radio users are anonymous.
Really no different than cars or anything else that's licensed.
Want to be anonymous while you're driving your vehicle? Stay off the public roadways where you need to have a license and registration to drive.
(I mean no disrespect with this. And while I can certainly understand everyone's desire for more privacy but isn't the issue really someone putting their call sign on their license plate?)
@gme Not 100% sure how it works in USA, but in the UK the RSGB stopped publishing home addresses in their yearbook some years ago and whilst you can confirm via Ofcom open data if a callsign is valid, you won't get the operators name or QTH unless they choose to share it (usually on sites like QRZ).
You can also look up the details of anyones car you see on the street (like make/model/what kind of engine it has) via the registration mark but you can't trace these back to the owner, only public authorities and a few authorised places (like insurance companies and parking enforcement) can do that..
@vfrmedia @gme yeah - I should say anonymous with an asterisk - I don't mean completely - we should apply, get licensed, be in the FCC database, but I don't think that should in turn be public info for anyone to look up - using the car analogy, I can't just look up any license plate and get the home address of the person in the car...our callsigns should be the same.
I can't just look up any license plate and get the home address of the person in the car...
Hate to break it to you but yes you can. You just have to pay for it (because the data brokers want to make money from you).
Every "background check" website let's you pull up information about who owns a car and what not based on license plate or VIN, and most will even give you the drivers' license number and insurance information registered to the car too.
@gme @vfrmedia interesting- that is new info to me. Seems like that gets into dubious legal territory though because it seems that most state laws and some federal laws limit what and why you can use plate info. There are plenty of websites I see though that do offer the service, but I'm not about to give them money to test it😀
Regardless - there is quite a difference between having to jump through hoops and wade dubious legal landscapes, vs just having it freely published on an open database.
But it's public information. Same for the tail registration for aircraft. Another licensed, and registered activity. The only thing I'm not sure of is that extended to drone operators since those are legally required to be registered with the FAA.
duckduckgo.com/?q=find+the+add… Edit: This is what I got back when I put in my own license plate information. Only thing wrong is that my truck is white and not red. LOL.
@gme @vfrmedia do you actually get your home address back if you pay?
From my understanding that's where it gets dubious, and apparently there is all kinds of fine print in TOCs.
There are also (from casual searching) laws in place in most states about how that information can be used if you obtain it, so I'd still say it isn't "public." you might be able to get it, but using it may have consequences- it's still a far cry from the FCCs "here's all the info and you don't even need a login"
I've used these sites before when doing background checks on home care givers for my relatives and yes, you do get addresses.
Admittedly I've never run a "background check" against my own license plate number to verify but I have run a "background check" on my name and birthdate before just to see what was out there and it had all my previous addresses, even "unofficial" addresses of mine (PMB addresses I've used for business and other stuff).
Lexis-Nexis is the single largest data broker in the US, and the amount of information they have on us is STAGGERING.
I highly encourage every American to order their own Lexis-Nexis report. They have to give it to you free.
consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/r… Make sure you're sitting down, and make sure you've taking your high blood pressure medication before you open the rather large envelope that will be mailed to you with everything in it.
You will go through all the stages of grief as you read the dossier they have on you. Trust me.
@gme I work for a company that provides home carers, and whilst our staff are subjected to one of the most stringent background and ID checks available in our country (and their immigration/citizenship status is audited regularly) there's also strict rules about confidentiality of this information within the company.
We can't search their vehicle registration marks to check registered keeper details (only companies with a motoring-related reason can do so like parking enforcement and car insurance), although staff do need to submit details of what they are driving and we check the car has a valid inspection cert (MOT) and the driver has valid insurance for business travel.
One of these days we might get something similar to the GDPR but by the time all the companies and lobbyists have thoroughly attacked the law, and the legislators that sponsored or support it, it won't look anything like its proposal and will be so watered down it would be pointless.
That way the entire thing from every design aspect could be shrunken down, not just the models and textures.
