Actually useful archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20250920071806/https://furilabs....

> The FLX1s from Furi Labs runs a fully optimized Linux system called FuriOS, packing a lightning fast user interface, 3 hardware switches for microphone, camera and modem/gps, and a privacy centric approach like no other.

Seems to be working fine.

"Error establishing a database connection"

So it only works fine if you don't care what a FLX1s is.

how does that happen btw? like it's understandable when a website is hosted on a vape (lol), but even a cheap vps should be able to handle like 10-20k views in the span of a couple hours (which is the max load from HN i'm assuming), unless you're hosting video or some such

RALaBarge•35m ago

It depends! You can make a website with a static text file or you can make a video run as the background. There are more ways to mess it up than to get it right, actually.

tazjin•25m ago

Serve even statical pages with direct DB access on every hit, using some slow and bloated JS/Python backend, and voila.

> how does that happen btw?

People write their sites in slow languages "because it's I/O bound anyway" and put content which could easily be static in a DB.

Filligree•14m ago

A slow DB. If you were to use Redis as a backing store…

Then you’d almost certainly be overcomplicating things, but it shouldn’t be slow.

kelvinjps•5m ago

Slow? But this site should have been written in just html and CSS

New Linux phone drops

Looks inside

Still the good old A76 and A55 cores (they're 8 years old at this point)

spaqin•27m ago

As much as I admire the FOSS nature, it's always the problem of underspeccing and overpricing the tech at the same time.

hackrmn•18m ago

And don't forget _overdimensioning_. Vendors love this because volume scales cubically with increase in any one of width, height and depth -- they're not the ones carrying the phone, but they can pack more features into one, quite literally. FOSS vendors more so since they need more ground to compete on (hardware being older and price being high enough because of economy of scale).

marcos100•12m ago

No economies of scale. Niche things will always be more expensive.

varispeed•7m ago

If you are small, there is no way around it if you want to grow.

"overpricing" is often higher cost of parts at lower quantity, future R&D and other costs that are much higher than for big corporation.

Laughs in iPhone ;-)

Looks interesting. Posh is a bit too adventurous for me (I wish there was a smartphone running FOSS android out of the box)

nunobrito•24m ago

The website is down from all the visitors at the moment.

Anyone here can share their experience with the phone?

Why do they keep making them BIGGER and BIGGER? Our hands don't grow that fast, most adult males have been struggling using their phone with one hand. Only the vocal minority prefers to oversized phone-computer, most of us just want to use it briefly on the go before tucking it back into the pocket, without it tearing a hole in it (which my last two phones have done).

If anyone is listening -- can you put a cap on the dimensions? 5.5" screen is plenty, if I want the cinema experience I will either a) go to cinema or b) use some VR/AR device, for the rest of use cases, like watching a movie on a bus/plane/train, it doesn't weigh up against carrying a brick with you.

Filligree•15m ago

Do smaller phones still exist?

Genuinely asking. I’m on iPhone, which hasn’t changed form factor in quite a while.

tryauuum•8m ago

yes. I use this one https://www.unihertz.com/products/jelly-star

LorenDB•15m ago

I like large screens because I value having plenty of context visible, e.g. in a webpage or a conversation.

Also, don't forget the bigger batteries that large phones enable.

marcos100•9m ago

And can you give a number on the "vocal minority"? Because companies usually sell what customers want and if the majority of the phones on the market is big, then that's what people want.

vitro•6m ago

Hmm, or they fabricate the demand so they can fulfill it. SUVs anyone?

chpatrick•5m ago

Poorly optimized apps need big batteries.
