@cxxvii@aus.social and @ferda@f.cz both reported problems with #Pachli 3.9.0 that necessitated a new release while I'm travelling.

A possible crash on startup
List management wasn't working

Pachli 3.9.1 has been released with fixes for these. Thanks to both of them for reporting the issues.

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.

https://github.com/DaveWoodCom/OTAgo

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.

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. https://blog.hofstede.it/android-development-on-fedora-44-without-installing-an-android-development-stack/ #Fedora #AndroidDev #Distrobox #GeminiNano #Android
