Removing by ADB is fine if you are able to identify which packages should be removed or if they’re already covered by Universal Debloater. You should also use Invizible Pro to control what connections are made and block trackers.
It isn’t a system app for my phone, so maybe. You could still use something like InviziblePro or RethinkDNS to disable its internet access without root though.
I have been an Android user for 13 years now. After using almost every Google service possible I am going down the privacy rabbit hole lately. Gmail -> Proton Mail, Chrome -> Firefox, Keep -> Notesnook, Google Search -> Kagi, …...
You can make stock Android much more private. Universal debloat tool + Invisible Pro - remove unnecessary apps, restrict internet access to only the apps you want to have internet access, add a tracker blocker list.
Remove Google apps as part of the debloat process, restrict permissions beyond what Android allows by default for all system apps, using App Ops and Shizuku. Accomplishes the same thing as GrapheneOS.
I just got my home server up and running and was wondering what you guys recommend for backups. I figure it will probably be worth having backups on cloud servers tjay are external, are there any good services yall use for that?

I use my stock ROM and followed the steps from this guide, with some changes like using Shizuku and App Ops, instead of AppOpsX: https://lemmy.ml/post/128667
I think some of the content, like comments on other instances, remains. Overall, a small server disappearing shouldn't have a major impact on the network as a whole.
