Since I'm gonna be switching to a Linux phone (Librem 5) and my apartment complex uses this app called Latch for unlocking doors (proprietary, iOS/Android only), I went down to the leasing office to ask for a physical card (I've seen staff use them before). The lady working said she'd never heard of "a Linux" before so once it comes I'm going to have to go down there, have them manually inspect my phone to make sure that it really and truly can't run Latch, then make a special case for me to the apartment administrators to get me a card lmfao

@fatalerrorcoded@miruku.cafe well, since the card uses more traditional NFC rather than the NFC + Bluetooth combo the apps use, it's more likely I'll be able to reverse engineer it.

@thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me Does Librem 5 support Wake-on-WLAN and/or Wake-on-Data? The biggest roadblock preventing me from daily driving a Linux phone right now is that they cannot receive notification while in sleep due to a lack of WoWL or WoD, which is a must for me since I don't even use carrier-native voice calling and SMS (instead I use calling and SMS over XMPP)

@cyberdystopia@minidisc.tokyo first thing I thought when I got there was that it was pretty damn dystopian, but it's nice being able to generate one time codes from the app and unlock doors remotely

@cyberdystopia@minidisc.tokyo if you do, you have to memorize your door code which resets every 24 hours. But if the entire apartment loses internet or electricity, you're fucked.

@cyberdystopia@minidisc.tokyo the thing is, with backup generators, my soon-to-be card will work while everyone else will be stuck :spamtroll:

@thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me
using a non-ios/Android device sure is one trick to get the card
(a simple key is better though, simple as) -

@cyberdystopia@minidisc.tokyo turns out there are keyholes (hidden by a cover) but they're only for emergency staff

@crispycat@lea.pet it's kinda impossible in this apartment, given they track ur parking spaces, when your door is unlocked, even the microwave and oven are "smart" (always on the internet)

@crispycat@lea.pet I manage our wifi, but it was plugged into Ethernet even before we moved in... I haven't even attempted to connect to it yet, I'm just concerned that the apartment can track it

@thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me Man, if I were required to install proprietary software to enter my house I swear I'd vandalise all the locks and replace them with mechanical ones.
