In a final step, the user took #SailfishOS X, same as before, and changed just a few lines in /etc/connman/main.conf
(removed all the FallbackTimeservers, Ipv4StatusUrl and Ipv6StatusUrl configuration)…

...and it does not connect *anywhere*.

Completely empty list of external connections.

Thing of #beauty.

Further results:

- #UbuntuTouch – connections every several minutes to a few Canonical and ubports servers – probably tuneable, but behaving like this out of the box.

- #SailfishOS X – connects to some NTP servers, to ip4.jolla.com (detection of WIFI capture portals) and some AWS server, exchanges a few bytes and stops; repeats the same process after ~12 hours (probably network clock synchronization).

This is even less than #GrapheneOS‘ default connections.

Interesting thread in the #SailfishOS forum where a user set up the following experiment:

They flashed an Xperia X phone with different OSes, left them idle without running any apps and then saw how often and where the OS is connecting to by default (tcpdumps).

Results:

- #Android 8.1 from vendor – an expected catastrophe: within one minute, it „connected everywhere“.

Read on for #UbuntuTouch, #SailfishOS, and #grapheneos

Interesting news regarding #SailfishOS in this morning's community meeting.

#Jolla is thinking about allowing the community to buy and install the OS's commercial parts (like the Android layer) on top of community ports, e.g. for the #PinePhone or the @Fairphone ).

Maybe that dream of a hackable Linux-based OS on repairable, ethically sourced hardware could finally come true! \o/

I'm shocked that #Berlin's foremost #comics underground institution, the Renate Comics Library, can only pay its rent for two more months due to the pandemic.

This is an essential place for the Berlin comics scene for over 30 yrs now. I've been to the monthly meetups countless times and I've given workshops there - it's a priceless incubator for art and friendship.
