Deleted that shit.
GrapheneOS, LineageOS,
The only way to fight the oligarchs overstep is to go full open source.
I was an Apple fan girl before Trump and the 51st state BS and Tim Apple giving him the golden Apple plack but I do not think you could pay me to go back to Closed source OS again. I have a subscription to Claude but only because I do not have the money to create a Ollama set up to help me with my homelabbing stuff.
My OS of choice now is Debian, because I started learning Linux on Raspberry pis. My collection of systems running open source things has grown. I planned on a 3 or 4 month homelabbing journey but it has taken many different turns and does so much more now than what I thought I would ever do. I am considering getting the HA smart thingies so I do not need to rely on my homepod mini’s not that anyone is making money or tracking me with them (thank you firewall, pihole, and whatever else I have running on my 10.66.6.0 vLAN to make all the IoT things on my LAN safe).
Hats off to you. We need to drop these companies. Like they're atomic waste.
Talking this through got me thinking the iPad i am using was still ringing when people called me so I should really figure out what was up with that. I spent more time than I care to admit to figure out I needed to sign out than check if it was on the right vLAN (it wasn’t but it is now). Then I spent time trying to figure out why I was having trouble giving it a static IP, I was just reading openWRT wrong. Then I set the firewall rules up so that it cannot talk to the WAN and can only reach my HAOS on a pi 4. Thank you for giving me the push I needed to fix it.
It's cool and all but Lineage OS doesn't support a hefty amount of newer phones. And Graphene OS not even supporting Motorola yet (I'm a moto owner). So, the best choice is to get a Fairphone.
Until there is a Linux phone OS that works with many modern phone brands and has no issues, you can't do much shit about not supporting Google.
There’s other ways, but if you can’t afford a trip to find them them… yeah.
