Hello, I'm Abhijith. A Free Software enthusiast.
If I had been patient, it would have saved me time. One such instance is following. From my early blogs, you might know I am using mutt to do email. Just after I get along with mutt, I started using notmuch. Because limit search in mutt is always a pain when you have multiple folders. And what better tool out there than notmuch-mutt to bind both these. notmuch-mutt provide three macros by default.…
I have been using Disroot as my primary email ever since openmailbox.org stopped. I am very grateful for Disroot’s service and I occasionally donate to them. Recently, my Disroot inbox has been flooded with spam. On an average day, I used to receive around 90% spams on entire email count. However, the situation has improved since then. I contacted the Disroot team, and they informed me that they…
Last weekend, 4 people (3 DDs and 1 soon to be, hopefully in coming months) sit together for a Bug squashing party in Kochi. We fixed lot of things including my broken autopkgtest setup. It all began from a discussion in #debian-in of not having any BSPs in the past in India. Then twisted in to hosting a BSP by me. I fixed the dates to 3rd & 4th May to get packages migrate naturally to testing…
At home, I have both a laptop and a *desktop PC. Most of my essential things, such as emails, repositories, password managers, contacts, and calendars are synced between the two devices. However, when I need to share some documents and I am lazy enough to go pick a flash drive, my only option is to push them to the Internet and download them on the other system, which is sitting at 20~ meters…
I let go my domain abhijithpa.me. It was getting expensive and I don’t fancy that anymore. I never actually purchased this domain but came with a package offer. I then kept it for couple of years. I have now bought a new domain abhijithpa.in and pointed everything to it. So if you are seeing abhijithpa.me with lot of contents, that is no me. Its either domain squatters or someone impersonating me.
I was using a refurbished Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro (codename: sakura . I do remember buying this phone to run LineageOS as I found this model had support. But by the time I bought it (there was a quite a gap between my research and the actual purchase) lineageOS ended the suport for this device. The maintainer might’ve ended this port, I don’t blame them. Its a non rewarding work. Later I found there is…
You might have already read my blog titled ‘Running PostmarketOS on my phone’. After running pmOS on phone, my mind kept talking “run Debian”. So I started preparing for that. At the moment no straight way tool exist in Debian like postmarketOS’s pmbootstrap . Well I can compile what is already available, do debootstrap rootfs. But I don’t know how to build the final image that can be flashed from…
I attended FOSSASIA 2023 summit held at Lifelong Learning Institute, Singapore. A 3 day long parallel talk filled conference. Its my second time attending FOSSASIA. The first one was 2018 summit. Like last time, I didn’t attend much talks but focussed on networking with people. A lot of familiar faces there. PV Anthony, Harish, etc. I vounteered to run Debian Booth at the exhibition hall…
Couple of weeks back I installed PostmarketOS on my idle phone Leeco Le 1s , which was paper weight for some time now. It all started with a roadtrip to Pondicherry (I will soon write about this trip). As I was sitting on the front seat where Praveen’s Librem 5 kept charging on the car dashboard. And we had a small discussion about PostmarketOS and how much new ports are available now. My idle…
(Sorry if you have read this already, due to a tag mistake, my draft copy got published) I recently bought a refurbished thinkpad x260. If you have read my post of my previous laptop. Its a big jump from 1 gen Intel processors to 6th Gen. I really love my old laptop. In fact I am actually writing this from my old laptop. Its OK for my day to day task. But its not convenient to carry around when I…
