It’s paywalled for me so can’t see this all. But does this mean signal, rcs and other encrypted messages are being logged? Kind of defeats the purpose of privacy based use cases if so

Having taught college level students software development, Ctrl-c & ctrl-v was foreign to many

All good! I tried using Magisk to change the boot.img for Lineage OS and it seemingly worked (phone still boots) but doesn’t seem like root was enabled or maybe I’m missing something. It’s just one edge case, but kind of important. Figured too many pin attempts to wipe device should be a feature I want on my Lineage devices

Oh… You linked graphene os saying it has a 30 min tutorial how to root your device?

I tried magisk and patching the bootloader but doesn’t seem like anything happened after I used fastboot to load it on my device. When I figure it out I’ll do a write up because it shouldn’t be this difficult in 2025 I’d think, but maybe I’m just slow

Does Graphene OS have root by default?

Still rocking Ubuntu myself, might give mint a try as I’ve had issues with updates bricking Ubuntu.

Yea, that’s smarter. I didn’t know they had that as well, but in hindsight it makes sense

There’s a few issues with jerboa that I’d like addressed, maybe I’ll look into building it and issuing some PRs for it when I have more time. Can’t imagine it’s easy to maintain such a code base alone.

Few things off the top of my head are keyboard hides text with long comments, and sharing links for federated communities gives a link to the instance it was posted on and not the instance I’m on.

Also not being able to make communities in jerboa is a bit of a bummer, should also be easier to subscribe to communities on other instances too (web client).

I’ve a pixel 7 running lineage is 22.2. I’ve seen some talk of magisk or twbp to root it but been too busy to dig into it.

You have any guide or video to spin me in the right direction? Thanks

Might I recommend github pages? Should be able to host all needed dependencies there too.

PS - jerboa android client didn’t show your markup, may I also suggest using 3x backticks to make it formatted as you expected? Like so:

I’m a software developer, and I tell people on the daily you need to protect your data and have many times said not to give DNA to anyone unless it can save your life. 21 and me is gross as a business model and should not be a thing and I also strongly agree they need to be put into prison

I’m peeling back the tech-oligarchies hold on me by getting rid of Google and the other big boys. I’m fortunate I can spin up SMTP server (MailCow) and cloud storage (NextCloud) using free and open source software (FOSS). But I encourage others to do the same if they can. SMTP is a tough nut to crack, maintaining servers is also a bit of a task. But any technologist that knows web servers (Docker, VM) and DNS can set up shit using elest.io/managed-services

I spun up a mailcow instance relatively simply through elestio (new to me devops as a service). Takes a few clicks, let’s you pick your cloud provider and has pretty slick admin UI to manage firewalls and dockerfiles etc.

I’ve never setup an SMTP server before, but I’ve decided to with my “buy Canadian” initiative to eschew the tech-oligarchy at every turn I can. Not for Canadians sovereignty alone, but to help get rid the planet of billionaires by starving them of their capital.

But I digress, mailcow makes setting up DNS a breeze and elestio makes mailcow a breeze. I’ve actually spun up this Lemmy instance on elestio too, just so nice its a game changer. Here’s info about mailcow https://elest.io/open-source/mailcow and no I’m not affiliated with elestio, just seems solid thus far (only been using it for a month, but support is on point too).

You’ve obviously felt my pain. Maybe 6th install will take 🤞

Glad I just ditched Google… Might have to expedite removing data from their claws

Yea that’s kinda what I was thinking. Digital safety should be up to the individual, big companies should be fined and held accountable to the data they collect.

Its why I’m on Lemmy, I host my own instance and thus I own the data. I’ve moved my email and cloud backups to instances I own as well. I understand I’m a bit privileged that I can do such things, but I plan on helping others setup their own needs online if I can.

Unfortunately we’ve been on autopilot just taking online products and folding them into our lives without much forethought to the outcomes. Didn’t know democracy was at threat, but with hindsight it makes sense. Power is moving up the chain of command and could be lost to us labourers for the foreseeable future unless we take it back through our data.

While I do agree its a bit whack, I question if everything needs 100% safety to be legal?

If someone offers a dangerous thing and you sign a waiver, maybe motocross, if you get injured is it the owners fault? Why should an individual be free from onus?

Been looking for a DR system for Ubuntu or mint, need to look into it myself but would like some feedback if this could be the right ticket.

I just bought a raspberry pi 4 to host plex, I’m sure I could get it to do backup and restore too. Looking into it
