For notes i use emacs with org-mode on desktop, on my ubuntu touch phone i have created a webapp with webber for organice and it works, just without the offline mode, perhaps noble will have better support for PWA apps. you also need a webdav server for that to synchronize notes with computer. It sucks that i need internet connection (or else it'll sign me outta my webdav server), but its alright for writing/reading notes.

Clarification of ubports.com donations webpage
About two weeks ago I posted a thread asking about liberapay donations which disappeared from the ubports.com/donate page.
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11214/liberapay-as-a-donation-method
Perhaps i made the wrong board choice by posting it in the off-topic category, so I'd like to expand the question in the general boardWhat is the best way to financially support the development of Ubports? Should everyone just use the "Mollie" system that is featured one the ubports.com/donate? For personal reasons I'd prefer to keep using liberapay, but if ubports gets better % from the mollie donations then I shall switch.
I saw the recent Q&A where this topic was approached:
https://www.youtube.com/live/tbigPY2jkHQ?feature=shared&t=1283
The host presented multiple options of donation (direct bank transfer, patreon, liberapay) that are not on the donate page. I think that if they are truly valid, then they should also be featured on the donate page, this way it would be more clear that liberapay/patreon are associated with the foundation and aren't some kind of "scam". -
Liberapay as a donation method
Is liberapay still a valid method of donation to ubports? I see it vanished from the https://ubports.com/donate page. I think the pages below were featured there before:

Get an app to manage SSH, grant permission to use `/bin/sh`
How can I start and stop SSH in my clickable app? I'm using Python+QML, and I want to simply execute
/etc/init.d/ssh start
in shell, but I get the following error:Jul 01 12:47:53 ubuntu-phablet aa-exec[7215]: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/bin/sh'
How can I give my app access to the
/bin/sh
? Should I give it some special apparmor permission? I tried to add"template": "unconfined"
to my apparmor file, but it doesn't let me do that and dies on me during build:Errors ------ - security:template_valid:sshhelper.apparmor (NEEDS REVIEW) 'unconfined' not allowed http://askubuntu.com/q/671403
Here's my app code, it's just straight up Python template with simple function to call shell commands:
## ssh.py import subprocess def execute_shell_command(command): process = subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) output, error = process.communicate() return output.decode('utf-8'), error.decode('utf-8'), process.returncode

/data folder not present in recovery mode
I want to backup my system by pulling system-data and user-data folders from the
/data
catalog. When I boot into recovery by pressing vol+ and powering phone on, the data directory is present but it's empty. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm checking the directory by plugging the phone into computer and executingadb shell
.
