I'll probably get one of the newer, cheaper models when this one is on its last legs. I'm hoping that it's easier to charge, because this big, expensive cable isn't ideal when travelling.

I've spent the last few months with my small team intensely developing a project I mentioned to you once before. Every moment of my inactivity here was simply coding, designing the architecture, and endlessly solving problems :heart_cybre:

                                                                            Today, I am proud to announce - LibreConnect has moved past the phase of vague plans and become a fully functional app! :flan_hurrah:

                                                                            We managed to deliver what was absolutely most important to us - an ecosystem connecting your 💻 computer and 📱 smartphone that respects your privacy 100%. Zero external clouds and hidden telemetry. Everything is based exclusively on a direct P2P connection within your local network and strong E2E encryption 🔐

                                                                            So, what can our app actually do?
                                                                            - Virtual camera and microphone from your phone :blobcatcamera:

                                                                            - Remote keyboard and presentation control from your phone :ablobcatbongokeyboard:
                                                                            - Finding your phone by triggering a loud alarm (overriding silent mode) 🚨

                                                                            We also made sure the project is truly cross-platform. LibreConnect runs natively on :linux: Linux, :apple_inc: macOS, :windows: Windows, and :robot_3: Android. It's worth mentioning that the app isn't limited to just x86_64 architecture - we support ARM64 as well! To make updates easier, we've set up our own F-Droid repository, along with native packages for Linux package managers (APT, DNF, Pacman) :fdroid: :archlinux:

                                                                            The code is 100% open-source under the GNU GPL v3.0 license :github: However, I have to be honest - the project is still very young. The app is highly usable, but it still requires optimization, might have some silly bugs, and can occasionally be unstable 🐛

                                                                            That's why we need you so much right now. For the continued development of this app to make any sense, we need a small but engaged user base. I encourage you to install it, test it out, and report bugs, and for those interested - to join the project as contributors (you'll find a CONTRIBUTING.md in the repo) 🤝

                                                                            If you like our vision, leaving a star ⭐ on our GitHub repository is the form of support we would appreciate the most. It's these stars that will allow us to take the project out into the world! Because of this, for the next few days, my activity here will focus mainly on promoting the app and its features - we need your help to build the right momentum. Thank you in advance for your support! :blobheartcat:

Es muss häufiger auf die Platte ausgelagert werden, was den Rechner ausbremst. und verkraften weniger RAM deutlich besser.

Doch zuallererst einmal für die Industrie und deren wenige Inhaber großer Tech-Konzerne. Denn selbst deren kleinen IT-Angestellte sind dank der KI wohl bald schon arbeitslos. Und noch viel mehr werden folgen.

Sure, you don’t want to vibe code, let’s say, a new Social Security database, but apps for personal use? Why not? Perhaps Apple could add a lower tier developer license or a higher iCloud Pro tier to allow personal apps that can’t be distributed but could be shared like Shortcuts. We could exchange apps as recipes instead of as cakes, while the App Store serves those who can’t bake.
