Privacy, Purism, the Librem 5 and an offer for sale

avatar

Dear Hiveans,

2 days ago I posted an article on the future of privacy. There it says "A new generation of technologies promises to radically plow the landscape between private information and the public sphere."

One of these technology companies is Purism (wiki). Purism manufactures personal computing devices with a focus on software freedom, computer security, and Internet privacy. Besides hardware, they maintain PureOS, a Linux-based operating system along with Librem One, a suite of software as a service based on open standards.

In 2017 they announced a security and privacy-focused phone, the Librem 5. As I am very much interested in privacy and a bit in technology, in early 2019, I ordered a Librem 5 - as an "early bird". Scheduled delivery date should be end of 2019. As an early bird I could buy it at a heavy discount, but as the phone hadn't been completely developped at that point in time, I took the risk that it would take some months longer or that the phone would never go into production.

Then the company got difficulties with the technological development (typical startup woes) and the pandemic-induced supply chain problems (chip shortage, wiki). After 3 long years I finally got my phone early this year.

As 1 month ago I've become father of a beautiful daughter, I now don't have the time (or rather don't want to take the time) to deal with the complexities of a new Linux-based phone. Today I still think that Purism is a great company delivering premium privacy-focused products, but I now think that I have not enough interest and skills in technology and programming. Thus I'd like to sell this device.

If you are interested, just let me know. If you know someone who could be interested (programmer/developper), I would be glad if you could forward this post to them (You'll get a commission, of course).

Thanks for your attention and have a great day,
zuerich

More info on this device:

Purism Librem 5 Privacy Smartphone USA

The Librem 5 smartphone (https://puri.sm/products/librem-5-usa/) is a newly developed privacy-focused smartphone.
I only used this device once and then I changed the passcode. Unfortunately, I forgot it (baby-related amnesia?). This means the device must be reset (reflashed) before use. This is described here:

Today this smartphone costs $1,999. I am very ready to negotiate 🙃. What do you think it's worth today (or worth to you)?


Liebe Hiver,

vor 2 Tagen habe ich einen Artikel über die Zukunft der Privatsphäre gepostet. Dort heißt es: "Eine neue Generation von Technologien verspricht, die Landschaft zwischen privaten Informationen und der öffentlichen Sphäre radikal umzupflügen."

Eines dieser Technologieunternehmen ist Purism (wiki). Purism stellt PC-Geräte her und legt dabei den Schwerpunkt auf Softwarefreiheit, Computersicherheit und Datenschutz/Privacy im Internet. Neben der Hardware unterhält das Unternehmen PureOS, ein Linux-basiertes Betriebssystem, sowie Librem One, eine auf offenen Standards basierende Software-as-a-Service-Suite.

2017 kündigten sie ein auf Sicherheit und Privacy fokussiertes Telefon an, das Librem 5. Da ich mich sehr für Datenschutz und etwas für Technik interessiere, habe ich Anfang 2019 ein Librem 5 bestellt - als "Early Bird". Geplanter Liefertermin sollte Ende 2019 sein. Als "early bird" konnte ich es mit einem grossen Rabatt kaufen, aber da das Telefon zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch nicht vollständig entwickelt war, ging ich das Risiko ein, dass es einige Monate länger dauern würde oder dass das Telefon nie in Produktion gehen würde.

Dann bekam das Unternehmen Schwierigkeiten bei der technologischen Entwicklung (typische Startup-Probleme) und pandemiebedingte Lieferkettenprobleme (Chipmangel, wiki). Nach 3 langen Jahren habe ich Anfang dieses Jahres endlich mein Telefon bekommen.

Da ich vor einem Monat Vater einer Tochter geworden bin, habe ich nun keine Zeit (oder, besser gesagt, keine Lust), mich mit der Komplexität eines neuen Linux-basierten Telefons zu beschäftigen. Heute bin ich immer noch der Meinung, dass Purism ein tolles Unternehmen ist, das erstklassige, auf den Schutz der Privatsphäre ausgerichtete Produkte anbietet, aber ich denke jetzt, dass ich nicht genug Interesse und Fähigkeiten in Sachen Technologie und Programmierung habe. Daher möchte ich dieses Gerät verkaufen.

Wenn Ihr Interesse habt, lasst es mich einfach wissen. Wenn Ihr jemanden kennt, der daran interessiert sein könnte (Programmierer/Entwickler), würde ich mich freuen, wenn Ihr diesen Post an ihn/sie weiterleiten könntet (im Erfolgsfall gibts natürlich eine Provision).

Merci für Eure Aufmerksamkeit und have a nice day,
zuerich

Ich habe dieses Gerät nur einmal benutzt und habe dabei den Passcode geändert. Leider habe ich ihn vergessen (babybedingte Amnesie?). Das bedeutet, dass das Gerät vor der Verwendung zurückgesetzt (neu geflasht) werden muss. Dies ist hier beschrieben:

Heute kostet dieses Smartphone $1.999. Ich bin sehr verhandlungsbereit 🙃. Was denkst Du, was es heute wert ist (oder Dir wert ist)?


Estimados Hiveanos,

Hace 2 días publiqué un artículo sobre el futuro de la privacidad. Allí dice: "Una nueva generación de tecnologías promete arar radicalmente el panorama entre la información privada y la esfera pública".

Una de estas empresas tecnológicas es Purism (wiki. Purism fabrica dispositivos informáticos personales centrados en la libertad del software, la seguridad informática y la privacidad en Internet. Además del hardware, mantienen PureOS, un sistema operativo basado en Linux junto con Librem One, un conjunto de software como servicio basado en estándares abiertos.

En 2017 anunciaron un teléfono centrado en la seguridad y la privacidad, el Librem 5. Como estoy muy interesado en la privacidad y un poco en la tecnología, a principios de 2019, pedí un Librem 5 - como "early bird". La fecha de entrega prevista debería ser a finales de 2019. Como madrugador pude comprarlo con un gran descuento, pero como el teléfono no había sido completamente desarrollado en ese momento, asumí el riesgo de que tardara algunos meses más o que el teléfono nunca entrara en producción.

Luego, la empresa tuvo dificultades con el desarrollo tecnológico (los típicos problemas de las startups) y los problemas de la cadena de suministro inducidos por la pandemia (escasez de chips, wiki). Después de 3 largos años, finalmente recibí mi teléfono a principios de este año.

photo1656862454 (4).jpeg

Como hace 1 mes me he convertido en padre de una hermosa hija, ahora no tengo el tiempo (o más bien no quiero tomar el tiempo) para hacer frente a las complejidades de un nuevo teléfono basado en Linux. Hoy en día sigo pensando que Purism es una gran empresa que ofrece productos de primera calidad centrados en la privacidad, pero ahora creo que no tengo suficiente interés y habilidades en tecnología y programación. Por lo tanto, me gustaría vender este dispositivo.

Si estás interesado, házmelo saber. Si conoces a alguien que pueda estar interesado (programador/desarrollador), me encantaría que le reenviaras este post (te llevarás una comisión, por supuesto).

Gracias por tu atención y que tengas un buen día,
zuerich

Hoy en día este smartphone cuesta 1.999 dólares. Estoy muy dispuesto a negociar 🙃. ¿Cuánto crees que vale hoy (o que vale para ti)?

congratulation on being a father!

To the data point. I see the big problem in private data being public data being private data.

The data collections owned by private companies are not accessible to the public.

That will in the digital age be a massive advantage to everyone else.

Special in the world of analytics, AI and task automation.

And in the worst case, it means to control, in a way we never would know about. Simple because we dont have the data to look at :D

Your comment about all this data hoarding being a huge advantage - to whom?

All of this data, all of these companies, the Utah data center, all of it needs to be relegated to the dust bin of history.

to all competitors in the future.

Those data are unbelievably valuable and can be used for whatever.

Everyone else needs to scrap data that are incomplete compared to those sets.

what do these data sets include and who owns them, ZUcK?

Why do companies hoping to compete against Facebook, Insta, Twittter, TikTok, etc need any data about their users?

If I built a product like hive but did it around torrnado cash and did zero SEO, zero analytics, for example, I don't see how the fuckers could stop that from curb-stomping the competition once and for all. 4chan but better in every way.

Very nice to read this :

"As 1 month ago I've become father of a beautiful daughter, I now don't have the time (or rather don't want to take the time) ..."

Absolutely true, about your time, as something greater has now entered into your life. Is their a greater responsibility? While you do not say, may I ask if this is your first child?

  • Asked by one a generation older and who has been blessed with a quiver full ... 😉

If the answer to the latter question is "yes," then get ready. She is going to change your life ...


Ohhh, yes, that is not the focus of your post ... 🧐

I had never heard of these products. I am not in the market for one myself, although our privacy is very dear to me. Like any enterprise of man, there is a lot which goes into its ultimate success. Or demise ...

If it is meant to be, I hope this one or (in the competition of free markets) one which is better becomes a well-known option for those who wish to consider it. At a better price ... 🙂


P.S. I did reblog your post here, in the event one of my "legion" 😂 of followers would find it of value and make an offer ...

Thanks a lot for your kind comment!
It's indeed a great responsibility. And yes, she is my first child and has already started changing my life 😀

And thanks for the reblog. Perhaps someone is interested in this product.

"And yes, she is my first child and has already started changing my life" 😀

Very good. As her father, what you will experience is a steadily "unfolding" quest for a clearer and deeper understanding the "big questions" in life. She will be looking to you (in ways you can only experience, as words are insufficient to capture it adequately ...) for the answers to them!


P.S. I will renew here what I have covered before - an offer to "talk" on Discord. I would welcome the opportunity. roleerob#3299

Wow! You are an early adopter! 👍

I'm a Linux user and I've always been interested in Linux-based phones, but finances don't allow it right now.

I'm looking forward to more posts from you about this phone.
