Could be. The statuspage from the device shows darkhttpd as the server, not nginx: https://nns.ee/blog/status.html
I see nginx there too. % curl -I https://nns.ee/blog/status.html HTTP/2 200 server: nginx date: Fri, 02 Apr 2021 14:48:48 GMT content-type: text/html content-length: 8754 last-modified: Fri, 02 Apr 2021 14:48:31 GMT etag: "60672ebf-2232" accept-ranges: bytes

#133> While developing software on the PinePhone, I came across this peculiar message in dmesg: Beautiful seeing this on top of HN. :) That message is from me. Nice to see someone using the access for something cool. One of the reasons I decided to add it there was to give some visibility to this "feature" of EG-25G FW to people interested enough to look at dmesg.
The world is a small place indeed.

#134Wait wait wait, does this mean data is going over a cellular network? On a data plan from some phone company? And their blog post just showed up here, on the front page of HN, which is notorious for crushing small servers with traffic? LOLSOB, I really hope this poor person isn't in the US. Or the cellphone overage charges...

#136Now it just needs to charge / run from solar and it can be dropped anywhere with signal. I wonder what sort of wattage this thing draws.
For a while I've really liked the thought of small little cheap hardened devices that could be surreptitiously dropped to act like wifi extenders as a "guerilla mesh". Of course there'd probably need to be some thought put into making them safe and look harmless enough not to trigger any kind of severe response if found. But imagine taking a bag around town and dropping "disposable" devices with low enough power use…
I keep thinking the Meshtastic network is heading in that direction, maybe Disaster.Radio might have some features, and generally there seem to be a ton of projects that contain some but not all of the pieces you'd want.
I'm down to build the hardware, I just haven't a clue on the software side of things.

#137Does this mean that every Pinephone is also constantly running this secret proprietary non-updateable machine?
It's not secret, it's updateable, and doesn't need to be running constantly, and doesn't need to be proprietary. It's possible to just not load the modem firmware and have Pinephone as a device with two ARM SoCs both running mainline Linux and open bootloader. ;) You'll just not be able to use EG25-G as a modem with modem FW not loaded. There are also options in between.

#138Is there something like the PinePhone that is manufactured in a place with substantial political freedom (however you wish to define that)?

#140I have never really tried but it surprises me providers let you accept connections on a gsm connection.
