This is good info OP, this is the basics of how you fix it

Will it fit in your hand? Will they call it Palm?

…

I’m still bitter

Sometimes I do, if it falls squarely in the realm of one of my obsessions

I’ve run Yunohost for quite a while and a few of these are inaccurate

1). maybe, if you’re putting it in a VPS. But there’s also VPN, Tailscale, and I believe Headscale apps available 2). I’ve barely ever run the CLI, especially for Yunohost commands. Even for system and package updates, its not necessary. I do wish there was a built in terminal tho 3). eh, I mean sometimes but its per-app and its either-or. so typically I’ll check the install page for subdomain and set that up. And remember, some of that is upstream constraints 4). yeah, that’s the most annoying one, tbh. But the ones that are starred or maintained are typically very good, 5). I’ve had good times and bad on the forums, about par for FOSS. heard gokd things about the chat. And for maintained packaged, github issues are answered quickly IMHO 6). I mean, its 12 now and you want it stable. Update your sources.list if ya want 7). this is only true of some few apps, but almost always its listed in the install screen.

I kinda agree, but I’ve been very impressed with Cosmos Cloud. I ve got the full 400 package marketplace, and having all that on docker, auto-updates, and good user auth is nice.

I’m using it as a frontend/services and Yunohost as a backend/datacloud/DevOps since it seems to be more robust and reliable long-term. The user management, email, XMPP, and (mostly) transferrable auth is top notch, not to mention default hardening like fail2ban, GUI ssh port shift, LEcerts, etc. Just wish they’d add in a docker system like Cosmos, it’d really fix most of the problems, IMHO

Don’t do Waydroid, its way too slow and buggy for what you’re wanting. I’d highly suggest Genymotion and have been using it on touchscreen 2in1s for a few months without issue, even with Play Store

Dodge City, maybe

There’s magic in those old 90s Hondas, I’ve seen it. I had a stripped valve cover bolt and couldn’t figure out how I could fix it short of a head replacement. The answer? Plug it with a rubber and metal washer sandwich and a bolt, and tighten the ones next to it a lil more. Never leaked. Thing was a champ

Absolutely, oil and car companies. And they were behind the push for highway bypasses (conveniently running through immigrant and PoC neighborhoods) and suburbs (many of them redlined and outright racial exclusionary.

Dude, thank you for saying that about the Mexican food. I’ve been saying this online for a while and it’s not well understood how good it is all the way across the US, even in small towns. Now, there are regional differences, as you would expect, but it’s only a bit worse than Mexico and way better than just about anywhere else in the world

Americans don’t play about Mexican food. We want it high quality, high quantity, and we’ll support it

Since we’re talking Ubuntu, I’d add

“flatpak update” and “snap refresh” to the cron

I’ve had really good experience with Genymotion android emulation on Linux, even on underpowered devices. Might work well to do video calls

Unless its something like Bitwarden where you can use it even if they go offline, can take an encrypted or unencrypted backup of your local passwords/accounts, and are FOSS so you can easily self-host your own version if anything happens where you want to cut ties (thanks Vaultwarden!). They’re an awesome company and one I highly suggest supporting with a paid account

Thank you, I missed that

Most of this is right, but needs some things corrected.

LOS is kept up by individual maintainers of the devices, and so it can cover more of them. But that also means you expand your attack surface to lineage, maintainer, microg, etc. And that’s just on supported devices. Unofficial devices are even more wild-west, having much delayed releases, OS updates, security updates, everything.

Not only that, but Lineage requires that you unlock your bootloader and often have your phone rooted to be able to do everything. This introduces special points of insecurity and possible issues in the future.

GOS is from a single source, for a single line of phones, and uses a designed method to load cryptographically signed ROMs onto the device, and then validate updates using the same method. The Play Services are sandboxed and disabled by default, so you can just never use them if you want. Overall, this makes for a more cohesive device. One that is more private and more secure. Especially so, when you can buy a new Pixel device and have guaranteed updates for as long as Google will do so for the same device.

Just don’t use a window envelope

Ew

Highly agreed, and I came from Standard Notes most recently. Desktop, web, mobile, syncing, and does it all well enough I bought the upgraded pro version to support the model

He’s a sysadmin and he doesn’t do downtime

I haven’t, just something I came across when I was researching the same thing. Part of my plans soonish, tho
