Released an update to my #OTAgo project (#selfHosted #OTA installs of iOS .ipa's & Android .apk's). Originally a nerdsnipe* by @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social but one I've used for years since. Used #AI (#Claude) to find & fix some issues & generally improve security.

This was built with #PHP and is dead simple to use (clone repo to a PHP enabled host, tweak a config file and you're up). Please star it on #GitHub if you think it's worth using.
Good news
There's a loophole

Android May Soon Restrict On-Device ADB

#HackerNews #Tech #AndroidDev
I wanted to build Kollect for Android without filling Fedora 44 with Java, Gradle, Android SDKs, emulators, and assorted development debris.
So I put the entire mobile toolchain in an Ubuntu Distrobox. It builds APKs, deploys them via wireless ADB, and even runs the Android emulator.
The app also enriches links locally using Gemini Nano through AICore on my Pixel 10 Pro. Private, fast, and effectively free.

Finally managed to get this post done – writing about the work has taken more time than the work itself 😅

Looks like the bug that is causing Zipline to be held on Kotlin 2.3.20 will be fixed for Kotlin 2.4.20-Beta2, hopefully I can upgrade soon as well since Kotlin 2.4.x have a lot of goodies I wanna poke around in.

Massive and very exciting new release for Claw, my Android client for @lobsters@mastodon.social
- The HTML parser that powers the data layer of the app is now capable of being updated out-of-band from app releases, so I can get fixes out faster when the site markup causes the existing parsers to break.
- If you are logged in, your blocked tags are now synced with Lobsters
- Search has a new UI that is more in line with Material Design guidelines
- Some small fixes to how comments are rendered, and faster animations.

Pachli 3.7.1 is released
Fixes
- Show polls attached to boosted posts
- Show roles on any suggested accounts
- Update "following" relationships when following suggested accounts
Es ist soweit. Ich muss meine älteste App einstellen. "Ist mein Zug pünktlich 1.0.0" entstand auf einer Fahrt von Bonn nach Husum. Als ich vor 18 Jahren wieder einmal auf meinen Zug aus Basel wartete und es unter Android 2.1 keinen ordentliche Bahn-App für Pendler gab, kam mir die Idee.
Die erste Version war nach 14h Coding fertig. Das war ungefähr 2008/2009. App-Opa.
Leider hat die Bahn mal wieder Ihr Online-System umgestellt und die Pflege der App ist nicht mehr sinnvoll.
