Quick n' Dirty Mobile IRC/Matrix via Weechat

Due to a current lack of usable Weechat relay clients on Linux that work well with mobile display sizes, and a lack of free time on my part to write one, I've come up with this simple (albeit not elegant) way to "run" Glowing Bear in a way that doesn't take up valuable tab space in Firefox. This essentially just runs a new Firefox window in kiosk mode, so that the tab bar, menus, etc are hidden, and makes it "feel" a bit more like a "native app" than a web thing running in a browser tab.

Setting up a mirror for postmarketOS pmaports on Arch Linux

Running a mirror for postmarketOS is fairly simple, and it allows you to alleviate some pressure from the main pmaports mirror if you're installing from pmaports often... Not to mention you'll almost certainly experience a rapid speed-up in downloading from it (compared to the official mirror) if your mirror is local/close.

Sending/Testing MMS using XMPP

Recently I've been helping out with a fork of mmsd (located here) since MMS is, unfortunately, a crucial thing I need working on a phone in 2021. Anyways, one of the painful things about hacking on mmsd is that receiving a MMS for testing is a manual process. The simplest way to get an MMS is to ask a friend to send you one. Or perhaps purchase a second SIM to use in a second phone to send yourself one. After a while, your friends, family, people you just met, etc will stop responding to your requests to have them send you a MMS. Before you know it, you're sneaking off with your partner's phone while they are sleeping so you can get some work done. This is rock bottom.
