Seriously. I don’t want to install something on my phone when the dev is just using a WebView, if that’s what it’s called. When the app is basically just a website with the browser hidden....
I second that suggestion, just install GrapheneOS. I switched from my iPhone to GOS over 6 months ago and haven’t looked back. It syncs with nextcloud for everything and it’s seamless!
I want to make a server for hosting media through Jellyfin, and maybe some Nextcloud functionality. I prefer to use containers, but something like TrueNAS’ extensions/plugins sound good as well. This is my first server, so I don’t know what to choose. My possible options are:...
Proxmox. I’ve been using it and deployed jellyfin in a container, they have a bunch of one-click deployments and it’s great. Or you can just use a VM to group Docker containers together. Having a beautiful web interface is huge, Plus being able to access that interface from anywhere via WireGuard/Tailscale is great.
If you do choose to go down this route, there is a “no-nag proxmox” script somewhere, and it will disable some warnings and give you deeper customization options. Well worth a look!
Hey folks. Got a pixel 7 pro, and it’s been alright, except suddenly, if I press the fingerprint sensor on the lock screen for just a split second, it makes the WHOLE SCREEN go full-brightness, with a green tinge. I know it’s always lit up the scanner area, which is all it lights up if I hold the sensor, but if I release it...
I will say, my used Pixel 6 (GrapheneOS) has worked beautifully so far, with no hardware defects. If I had to complain, the speakers aren’t particularly loud, but I’ve had no hardware issues with it. I agree with other people, it sounds like it could be a bad motherboard? It would be interesting if you could post a video of the issue
I wish Google would implement what Apple does, when you click the lock button five times to dial emergency services it will also disable biometrics. I don’t think doing that disabled biometrics, only calls emergency services on Android. Even better, install “Duress” from F-Droid and you can set a decoy pin that resets the phone (or just reboots it)
How is SailfishOS? I was keeping an eye on UBPorts (Ubuntu Touch), occasionally installing that on my Pixel 3a, but it just wasn’t there for me. Same for PostMarketOS, but the new GNOME Shell on mobile seems great. How is Android app support on SailfishOS?
I actually went to GrapheneOS from my iPhone, after deciding none of the other option were going to work for me. Bummer about the encryption, maybe that can be fixed?

BlendOS Will let you install virtually any package format through containerization, but it shows up just as if it was a native app. It’s pretty neat to see and I hope more distros adopt this
Edit2: Writing this from Pop_Os! I had experience with Mint for my Self hosting rig and wanted to see other pastures. Decided to rearrange my three drives, two of them are still Windows, another I emptied and dedicated to Pop OS. That way I still have easy fallback to Windows if I need to do something fast and then I’ll know...
I’m torn. On one hand, $60 is an incredible introductory price for the 4 GB model. On the other hand, it still falls behind the Orange Pi 5, which can be found for very reasonable prices similar to the 8 GB model, and is still even more powerful. There’s no doubt the community support will be outstanding as it always has been for the Raspberry Pi, but as somebody who’s seeking out the highest performance for x86/64 gaming (box86 and box64), I don’t know if I could justify getting a weaker SBC. I still might grab a couple of the 8 GB models to add to my proxmox cluster…
I would also suggest looking into GrapheneOS if you’re looking for something new. I’ve been running it for 6 months on my pixel 6, and I have really enjoyed it. Apps just work, you can still use Google Play services in a sandbox, it’s smooth and gets good battery life. The only downside that I have run across is the lack of Android auto support, but everything else just works

I have it, unfortunately it does not seem to block Snapchat ads. Or maybe it does and I just haven’t noticed? A lot of the time I’m using Snapchat out of the house, I haven’t bothered to set up an exit note for tail scale yet (Even worse, tell scale is still broken for me on Android)
I have the same setup for about a year, even bought a mag safe case for my pixel when I switched to GrapheneOS so I could keep using it. Portable batteries and charging mounts are great and all, but having a mag safe cable is totally pointless. It’s still charges more slowly, produces more heat, and is less efficient. If you’re going to be constrained by a wire you might as well just plug straight in
Why are there so many apps that could be websites?
