TECH SAVIOURS News - 28.04.2024

What's going on?

Forgejo (Gitea) instance

We've changed our gitea instance to forgejo.
You might have seen the letter and since forgejo changed to hard fork we had to decide and went with forgejo too.
So change your repo URL via git remote set-url origin forgejo@git.techsaviours.org:USER/REPO.git.

No Github

We have archived the entire organisation on github. There's not much going on there anyway. We only use our git instance now.
We hope the federation comes soon, so you could choose any instance you prefer and still help if you want.

Matrix registration

Matrix registration is currently only possible via tokens. Just ask us and we will create a token for you.
We are simply keeping the time effort to a minimum at the moment. It will be open to the public again as soon as a day has changed to 34 hours, more people help out or our workload decreases somewhat - which is more likely to be the case.

Linux Mobile

We have added a new section to our phone part. Create your own Linux phone-images for Arch Linux ARM and postmarketOS.

Donation list

A new wiki tutorial means new donation opportunities. We have added danctnix and postmarketOS.

Wiki scan section

Is gone.
Everything is only listed as it is now so that it "looks similar" like on the website.

German language

There was a bug with a Dokuwiki translation add-on. It is now fixed.
So it is also running on our Wiki again and this will be updated in the next few weeks/months to catch up with the English version.

But there will be no more German news. So only the website and the wiki will be updated. Maybe some German news here and there we'll see.
Feel free to join us and help us with the wiki, news and/or website.

More services?

Nope.
To ensure that all current services function smoothly, there are no efforts to add more yet. The server for more services needs more power anyway but more importantly time. We pay for the server ourselves and that's ok. If someone is willing to donate a little bit, we might create a way, but for now it's ok the way it is. Time effort would be more important.
Sooo ... feel free to join ;)

What's next?

Not much.
The services will keep running as usual. More tutorials are coming, phosh, keepass, Linux mobile apps, and another "your own extras" will start appearing soon.
So basically everything will continue smoothly without any super duper changes. So just enjoy everything without any interruptions and focus on your deserved weekend.

Hint: With the new "your own extras" you will be able to check your devices/networks with mitmproxy, frida, tcpdump, proxychain-ng and wireshark and see where your devices are calling to.
This can be quite interesting for one or two users here. It is indeed very interesting! There will be a news post about this as soon as it hits the wiki!

Just follow our RSS news feed via Nextcloud and their news app or join our matrix room #news:techsaviours.org.

No matrix account yet? Did I mentioned the registration token? Just ask us via email or https://fosstodon.org/@techsaviours.

Have a good weekend!
