I live on the right side of the second box, between second and third. I venture into the fourth maybe once or twice a year. It is a good life.

Lmao nice
This. Is. Epic.
No idea where I fall and at different times all over. Use Firefox, fedora now, devian on server. Run selfhosted for most stuff. Just debloated stock Android removed most of Google's stuff. Have used Graphene but it's missing tracker tracking.
devian on server.
Debian or Devuan?

This is fairly dated.
Don't use Telegram or Jami. Also Xorg is dead.
Also Luke Smith hasn't uploaded in years now
Wait, why not Jami?
No independent audit is a bad sign. It also is unstable with a giant code base.
According to the threads I found privacy guides:
-
It mostly just doesn't work well.
-
It hasn't been independently audited

What a ride!
I feel so called out, even though I'm the second box and I currently use tumbleweed.
- arch
- lineage os (rooted)
- librewolf
- fdroid, element

... I would go full paranoid but Its over my skill level. Also I'm quite happy now that the transition to more private things process is mostly over.
did everything but not rooted phone i just debloated my phone currently i don't use arch btw but it was great but skill issue kills me so i'm here with lmde
Why would you root Lineage OS? You are putting a hole in your security.
I did not give it much thought really, I just wanted my previously rooted phone with no google things. But mainly the SafetyNet thing.
If you are either A) bootloader unlocked or B) using a custom ROM via an exploit, your system is freely open to modification by a physical attacker, regardless.
Graphene os for security, lineage os is for debloated aosp experience, root is for things like wifite2 on smartphone, cheat engine like apps on smartphone, deep control of your smartphone and etc
e.g. for better charging control, to allow f-droid to update apps automatically
You don't need root for any of those in Lineage OS 22. Android has a API that F-droid uses for updates and Android 15 introduces charging control.
In all fairness you have more control with root but it also introduces a major security risk. With root an app can completely bypass all security controls. If malware gets root you are basically hosed.
I also do that because it lets me
- limit charging with ACC
- use microG as network location provider (microg installer revived)
- fix SafetyNet
- YouTube ReVanced
- Make using other App stores easier (updating can happen automatically in more recent Android versions, but first installs still require confirmation outside the Play Store)
MicroG doesn't require root
Also Charging control is now part of Android 15
Root can be a huge security risk. Be very careful and always stay updated with the latest security patches.
Yes, microG works without root, however to get it working as a network location provider you either need it installed as system app (for example LOS4microg) or patch android to allow non-system apps for providing network location.
There's an official patch, also mentioned in the Install Guide and it's basically the reason for microg_installer and its revived fork existing.
I could use LOS4microg, which does include the patch, but builds are run much less frequently (once a month instead of weekly) and I'd rather stick to original Lineage.
Thanks for pointing out charging control, I wasn't aware of that new feature. One more reason to upgrade LOS my phone
Hey now, I've been paranoid for years. Don't call me a newborn.
What's the first browser under newborn paranoid?
Qute browser
Isnβt qute just a chromium wrapper?
Don't know, never used it.
