I can’t quite remember the GPS situation. I believe I had something working, but I think it might have been something from the UT store, uNav. However I can’t speak to GMaps since I do my best to avoid Google apps.

I got really close to daily driving it. I had most of the stuff I wanted in waydroid on a pixel 3a. I just need to get the android notifications bridged out from android to dbus to postal and I’d make the switch

Found my homie!!

Yeah, voting with your dollar definitely will make the change, just buy something else and struggle a bit harder, that change is right around the corner /s

You own it, like the mortgage is paid or you rent from the bank still?

Possibly the source of any confusion here is when the encryption and when the compression takes place? Maybe some more details about how you are using xz and encryption would help.

As far as I can tell, xz doesn’t do anything with signatures or encryption, but it does perform checksums like you stated, which is very cool and I’m glad you shared this.

Edit: I am re-reading your post above. You are compressing with xz, then encrypting, got it. So yes, if any part of the payload is tampered with, then it would be detected by the decryption, depending on the algorithm, or by the decompression because of the checksums like you said. Sorry for the confusion! You’ve got it all straight lol.

A checksum and a digital signature aren’t the same thing. If you have a data block and a checksum of the data block, the data block can be modified and a new checksum can be computed to reflect the modifications. Instead of a checksum would be a digital signature using an asymmetric key. The data block would be modified but the signature of that block can’t be recomputed without the key used to sign it, which is not part of the transfer.

The file is using org mode rather than markdown. I don’t think GitHub has as good of support for org.

Oh sure, I just didn’t want to reference every miracast project, I suppose it is worth throwing a link for miraclecast out there though, since that seems like one of the most popular. I believe the GNOME desktop environment also had an effort to support miracast standard.

I just wanted to point out that fcast seems to have done their own thing when there were some efforts already in play, which is totally fine. I was just surprised I didn’t see an entry in their FAQ like “How is fcast different from X?”.

Weird, I thought there were already a few open casting projects.

It is pretty common when starting to use apps that don’t depend on Google services to not get notifications. Many struggle with inconsistent and sub-optimal notification strategies such as background sync via polling or a custom notifications service and need battery optimizations turned off. UnifiedPush allows for push notifications from a server or your choosing so those other methods don’t need to be used.

Awesome! Can’t wait to hear the official release and if it will end up being a separate release or not.
