anyone tried both pmOS and mobian (preferably on the same device) and can offer some comparisons?

I understood nada. the success rate being 86% means what, successful transmission of state in 86% of cases? over what sample size? was there a control instance with randomized states?

yes to FAT32 but doesn’t have to be first and there can be multiples; I have several EFI partitions (type ef00) and the picker shows me entries from them all. I use systemd-boot and the relevant EFI partition is mounted at /boot (didn’t like /efi because I’m used to autocomplete /etc with tab).

is this a rant or are you looking for actionable info? if it’s the latter, you need to determine which version you got exactly. Xiaomi ships different versions under the same name. like, they start off with Snapdragon SoC, then swap in Mediatek, then maybe slip in previous gen Snapdragons with only 4G/no NFC, etc.

you also didn’t specify if you’ve already unlocked the bootloader, which is an (at least) week-long process.

your best bet would be to get rid of that phone, then go to LineageOS devices page, use the Filter to filter for current version (i.e. 22 at the moment) and then look for used devices you can get at cheaply. e.g. although it’s a 5-year old model, the Poco F1 is an almost ideal hacker phone - fast SoC (faster than the one you got), available with 8 GB RAM, has the widest OS support (including PostmarketOS), it’s not glued shut so you can swap the battery, etc.

edit: forgot to mention, you want a device that has official LineageOS support. that’s not the only way to get a non-google-infested phone, but then you’re dependent on some rando from XDA to ship you updates when they get around to it.

upgrade went without a hitch (docker), only thing needed changing is the web UI password in docker-compose.yml. everything works, UI is infinitely faster, first impressions very positive.

very cool, thanks for posting. what’s laid bare here is the scam where if you keep at it, you’ll eventually get there - look at the joe rogans and the linusestechtipses, they kept at it and look at them now! the burried lede being that it’s virtually impossible to penetrate that level and at the same time being under google’s thumb, microdosing your cut and evermore shrinking the crumbs that get to you.

the issue with overpaying for production someone raised is valid, but even with reducing it to like a 10th of what she’s paying, it’s still nowhere close to “making it” in terms of sole income of a single woman with kids and whatnot. be that as it may, the script folder and the food beautifier and the scalper for this and that have to go, like yesterday, and them kids are now promoted to iphone recorders co-directors of photography immediately.

as a direct product of enshittification, google and friends routinely undermine the open internet and make life difficult for people who selfhost, businesses and private parties alike.

so your emails not arriving in gmail’s inbox is because google wants you to use gmail and/or their business account, not plain email. there is no mechanism where you can mark a non-gmail correspondent as safe and someone you always want to receive comms from. except, if you offload your sending either to g&f or one of the 3rd-party senders like mailchimp, sendinblue, etc. who have a direct pipe into google’s infra and are not subject to any of those harassment tactics.

so, not having a .com domain is possibly less ideal, but that pales in comparison to the above; if you’re communicating with non-gmail/outllok/etc contacts, it don’t matter. if you do - again, it doesn’t matter.

hatred. just hatred and anger, fueled by seething rage that’s there in a split-second, whenever you need it. when your synapses overflow with visions of screaming mongol hordes burning and pillaging through the C-suite of whatever corpo that’s yanking your chain, the desire to gorge on crap you’re conditioned to consume just fades away.

that works for anything. smoking. eating meat. you ex you can’t stop thinking about. getting the new GPU. give it a burst of 30-45 seconds of white-hot fury and you don’t want none of that, ever again.

in the words of the wise denpok singh: “hate in the hands of the enlightened can be a tool for great change”.

ALL YOUR SEARCHES are tied to your email, forever. all your queries safely stored, waiting for someone to hack them or them to abuse that data somehow.

now reread your question.

maybe not important to some, but I was super-unpleasantly surprised a couple months ago because proton deleted my dormant account. my recovery account received a couple of warning emails (didn’t check that one in ages) and when I finally got around to it, gone.

so if you’re thinking of using it for anything long-term, know that you have to log in once in a while or it’s gone.

I’m aware of that, but there’s a significant portion of FP users ditching the provided eOS and going with something that’s way more privacy respecting; I’m sure you can find comparisons with graphene, calyx, lineage, aosp, etc. online.

so what I meant was, if you’re one of those, then there are zero reasons for choosing FP, other than supporting their mission.

edit: similar topic from a while ago https://lemmy.ml/post/23014970

I’m not sure I understand what the issue is here… I also have uBlock Origin and no traffic is hitting either of those domains, just checked it with inspect/network tab. the redirect thingy autotranslates youtube to invidious and clicking youtube links opens freetube. no traffic is going to google or youtube. which part is your issue?

edit: aha, got it - uBlock swallows those domains so the extensions don’t run.

I’m using freetube and privacy redirect on firefox. this is what embedded videos look like:

clicking on “Go” starts embedded playback from invidious, clicking on “youtube” opens freetube. there’s an option to auto-open/play the embedded video, which I don’t use.

I can’t fathom spending that kind of money for something that can be easily - as you’ve found out - broken. or lost. stolen. die on its own. not to mention - get a pretty mediocre device for the hefty price.

seeing as how you have to change the OS on it anyway, maybe look into used ex-flaghip devices. go to lineageOS devices page, filter for RAM and LOS version (22 i.e. A15 at the moment) and check if you can get a used devices locally for like a tenth of the price.

I’m not hiding anything, I’m choosing what to share; there’s a difference.

as to your (somewhat naive) perspective, yeah, having your shit out in the open is a credible threat. the solution is have all your shit private by default and not shared with anyone. then, allow leaks on a case-by-case basis.

we’re all done (or should be, at least) with the idea that there are laws and regulations shielding us from the now rampant abuse from various threat actors. instead of relying on the government or whoever to enact those regulations, I find it way better to not allow anyone to be in the position to compromise me.

this is a forever moving target and you’re never going to achieve full security; to paraphrase cory doctorow, that’s a full-time, unpaid job that you’re doing in addition to your existing job. but I’m better off with more security and privacy than without, so I’m ok with the sacrifices I have to make.

saw your other post as well, there’s so much stuff in your stack that you have to narrow your issues down to the malfunctioning item, there’s no way you’re gonna stumble upon someone with your exact setup.

start with existing element x apps communicating over matrix.org (use throwaway accounts if you don’t trust it) and unified push using ntfy.sh. if everything works there, then you can start replacing one by one of these until you achieve full functionality or something breaks.

I swear, every time I’m tired of the limitations of AOSP I inevitably begin to bargain with my conscience, like what if I just have a sandboxed play store, what if it’s just microG, surely LineageOS has enough safeguards… and sure enough, within 24 hours one of these things pops up and I’m done with coveting the easy path.

aside from the obvious, wayland being the default choice on all relevant distros and DEs and being continously worked on, evermore projects switching to it (WINE most recently) whilst X11 is in maintenance-mode, the main thing for me and my deployed fleet is if you’re running a modern laptop, say with a 1080p or better screen, wayland is a must. primarily because of the output (UI scaling, effortless multi-monitor dock/undock) and the input (touchpad gestures, touch screens).

if your world is a desktop with a mouse and, say, XFCE, then you have very few of these things intruding on you and you don’t really understand the benefits benefit from it.

solid rant.

as to your thing with the addiction to this and that, you hafta learn to hate that crap; it comes naturally to me, so there’s not much effort needed.

so when you hate alcohol and burgers and cigarettes and whatnot and especially the industry that produces it cutting every corner to make more money and their advertising henchmen masking every turd with sprinkles and cinnamon, then you’re no longer in the “I’m depriving myself of the thing I want”, every time you think of it a flood of anger and rage splashes over you and you simply don’t want none of that crap, ever.

works for me, your mileage may wary.

the other sandwich?

E2EE is explicitly prohibited by Telegram’s ToS so no alternative client is implementing it. seeing as how you’re already breaking it for non-important things, my suggestion is a pedal-to-the-metal approach.

then again, you don’t owe me or anyone anything.
