ok just bought a new device. picked up the R01 after having a few beers. praying to our Lord that it doesn’t take 12 months to ship.
I would like to level up my terminal skills. I am somewhat concerned though, as I am a little new to the Linux. would like to connect with my fediverse server that I run: my0.net. I think there is a terminal app called “TOOT”. but I use my yubi (nfc or usb) for webauthn. is this an issue with this device?
what is the best way to manage wifi networks?
how can I check my exchange e-mail from a command prompt?
I am sure this is covered elsewhere. But not sure where to check or if there was a guide already written. any help would be appreciated thank you so much.

- webauthn is not directly supported by toot-cli. Besides, running a web browser is painful on R01. You might want to use TOTP or login on another device then transfer the credentials.
- You can manage your wifi though either network manager or wpa supplicant. Sometimes iwd works.
- I have no idea. I’m not aware of any satisfying CLI client.
You shouldn’t expect here to be any guide of this kind. Read the manual/wiki/discussion of corresponding software.

What I use on my R01 is usually just bloat ( bloat - A web client for Mastadon Network , I have a version with a lot of changes at GitHub - pete/bloat: Mirror of a minimal set of changes to BloatFE / git.debu.gs Git - bloat/summary ). It runs fine on w3m or other super-minimal browsers. I use bloat from mothra: the R-01 runs drawterm ( http://drawterm.9front.org/ ) just fine, so I can connect to the Plan 9 machines.
There’s also sshocial ( Duponin / sshocial · GitLab ) which doesn’t require a browser, but I haven’t used it; the instance I’m on has an ssh interface built in.
I kind of wonder why CPi doesn’t run an instance. It’d be pretty cool to be able to get news there. (I locked my Twitter account and quit using it in 2018, but you can’t even use Nitter to read Twitter accounts any more.) On the other hand, every time I talk about the DevTerm or uConsole on fedi, people tell me it’s not a useful device and that it’s impossible to do work on it, even if I am talking about having worked on it all day.

I am so excited that it is here! Just running apt-upgrade/update.
I am a bit confused on the desktop environment. Where is the start button?
Also - any guidance and rec software and setting up TIC80?
You’d want an organization running a mastodon server to be capable of moderating the service. There’s one staff member here who posts in one thread once a month.

the CEO of Mastodon (LOL) blocked me, because I was roasting him about snitching to interpol.
but truth be told, moderating is a pain and the reason why I’m selective about signups.

You might need to moderate it if it’s got open registrations, but if the only people with accounts on the instance are CPi staff, you don’t need a moderation team.
It doesn’t have to be something grandiose, that’s the point: if they are on fedi, people with accounts on other fedi servers can follow them.

Ha! Everything I have to say about that is off-topic here.
moderating is a pain
I have spent most of my time on there actively avoiding doing moderation and it is still a pain. Some people sign up just to try to grief the mods, so whatever the rules are, they will come up with something.

This is a broader issue but I just don’t think they have a lot of English speaking staff. There’s Alex here and Hal on Twitter, and they don’t post frequently.
I think there definitely would be less anxiety about shipping on these forums if they had a community manager who could speak about delays proactively (or update the estimate on the website), but they seem to be a very small team.

That is what I am talking about. They could post, or even cross-post the same stuff. They don’t need a moderation team.

To be fair, they appear to have been posting in zh-CN elsewhere, which is fine. I ordered a uConsole the day after the announcement and followed it here, and there were a lot of really hostile people throwing accusations and insults. In CPi’s position, I would probably have stayed away from the place where that was going on.
They’re making these cool devices that appeal to hackers, and the uConsole is enough of a “product” that it attracted a broader audience, people that don’t really understand the engineering process or what “lead time” means or how thin the margins can be, and thus were somewhat less sympathetic.
