From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Currently running majority FLOSS, and glad for the excellent options that these very capable people have released.

Desktops, laptops, HTPC:

Trisquel GNU/Linux on Libreboot BIOS hardware

--//--

Phones and tablets are:

GrapheneOS + Fdroid only apps

--//--

Rockbox audio players

(+ Open Tunes from FMA, Argofox, CC netlabels, jamendo, bandcamp etc)

--//--

Gadgetbridge + Amazfit Bip (watch)

[Looking to switch out this watch for a FLOSS smartwatch like: pinetime or bangle.js]

--//--

and dd-wrt on the router

OpenWRT is going to be better than DD-WRT. It is certainly more flexible

[–] ace_garp 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, I was checking both before going with ddwrt.

Looks like OpenWRT has more options and less hand-holding. Would that be right?

Yes but the wiki is very solid. Also the basic functionality doesn't require much to setup. Just make sure you set the WiFi country

This guy has mad FOSS cred. I bet even his socks are made of free range organic open source wool released under a Creative Commons attribution share-alike licence.

Seriously though, that sounds like an amazing setup. I always wanted to mess with gadget bridge some more. I have a number of old MiBand devices lying around as well as a Bip. The third party apps for that thing had more features than almost every fitness tracker I've had potentially even including my Garmin watch. What tools do you use to analyze/review/visualize the gadget bridge data?

Thanks for the props :]

I usually look at the session graph data on Gadgetbridge, or export a bike GPS track to OSMand to look more in depth at position, height, speed etc.
