You are not voiding any warranty. You can very easily revert back to stock if you need to.

Android itself without the proprietary crap added to it by Google is open source and will continue being so long it keeps using the Linux kernel. This is not going to change as the Linux kernel is licensed under GPL, and if you link against GPL licensed code your own code also has to be licensed under GPL.

The problem GrapheneOS has is not with AOSP going away, but with Google not publishing the device tree for their Pixel devices like they used to, making it impossible to unlock the bootloader, and generally making harder to develop a custom ROM for their devices.

The GrapheneOS team is currently working with an OEM to develop a phone that comes with GrapheneOS from the factory. If that happens and we no longer have to rely on Google hardware for installing it then the problem is solved.

Get a Pixel and install GrapheneOS on it. It is super easy these days, you can do it using just a Chromium based web browser. And don't worry there is no chance you will brick your device.

It's also useful for prototyping. Put something together quickly as a proof of concept and then do it the proper way. That is how I mostly use it at least.

I like how it has a frown on the link preview and when you open the article it has a smile.

That means RAM prices will come back down to logical levels, right? ...right?

I find your project very interesting, I have to point out a bit of irony though. You say,

Phones just do too much these days. And I don't get the feeling they respect my time nor privacy.

However, making regular voice calls and sending SMS over the cell network is absolutely not private. If you want privacy you need the ability to utilize end to end encryption, and to do that you need a device capable of running something like Signal.

Other than that I agree with your other points. I too miss the days where phones didn't all look like a slab of glass and every manufacturer wasn't afraid to experiment with all sorts of cool features.

Do you remember that time Netflix removed [insert series title]? I basically have my own private version of Netflix. That way nobody can take my favorite series away from me without warning.

As the title suggests, we have brought back the CLI interface for Linux users. This has been one of the most requested features, and we’re excited to finally bring it back.

Huh? And what have I been using all this time?

I built a home server based on an Intel N100 motherboard a while ago. I've put proxmox on it and run my Home Assistant installation, Nextcloud, several other stuff and even my router as an OpenWRT VM!

I chose to go the N100 motherboard route mainly due to the flexibility it offers. But you can just buy a N100 based NUC and you get effectively the same performance and incredible low power consumption.

I would recommend against the Pi 5. It is way underpowered in my opinion. Plus with a x86 system you just have a lot more software compatibility.

Only reddit and everyone else who pays, like Google and OpenAI.
