Grapheneos has some unique features that simply no other mobile OS has. It is insane solid for security, but that does not make it lose anything in terms of privacy.

Starting with the fact that it comes with only the bare minimum of apps necessary for a functional mobile device (anything else you have to find, choose and install yourself).

Without digging too deep into the technical details of the software itself, the first "shit, I love this” factor for me begins with the storage scope and contacts scope. This is one thing I'm not willing to live without anymore. Pretty much every app, proprietary or otherwise, will ask for access to storage. With scopes you can provide access to a folder of your choice,even create a folder for each app if you want, effectively blocking every other app from potentially snooping into other apps storage.

The same holds true for contacts. Signal (Molly in my case) asks for access to contacts, but I have no need for that, as everyone I talk with over Signal is already there. But if someone new comes around, I give Molly access to that one contact and add them to Molly. My jmp.chat runs on Cheogram, and I only use it for my US and Canada contacts, so I don't have to provide Cheogram access to anyone outside North America. Same thing with my VOIP service for work and so on.

The level of granularity achieved on permissions is just epic. I even tried to use stock pixel 4 days ago, kept it for 3 days, and had to roll back to Graphene last night because I couldn't stand the constant nagging on the phone (and I disabled everything Google in it except the Play Store, for which I did disable everything but network).

I have no respect for Micay and his band of narcissistic developers with a god complex, but that doesn't remove the fact that GrapheneOS is light years ahead of any mobile OS out there in terms of user control for privacy.

You are a man of culture. Great choice.

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

I did too, but never cared again after my wife finally switched over to Fedora. I have nobody else that I care about enough using windows.

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, when forced to use Windows it's way worse because we know the other end of the spectrum.

I know, the irony.

I got a brand called JSAUX. In my case I pickles 2 of the 6-in-1 because of all the USB-A ports, but they have different sizes.

This is the one I purchased:

You have the option to get a solid hardware that you can install openwrt on, and then use the Deco mesh just for the Wifi. That'll give you similar, if not the same results, and save you a few bucks in the process.

I just started migrating my network from PFSense, a bunch of tplink switches and Aruba InstantOn APs to unifi. I'm almost done (just missing a couple of APs more and 1 more switch), and I honestly am extremely happy with the decision. The Unifi APs are not as powerful as the Arubas, but the improvements to the performance of my network more than makes up for that.

I apologize. I misunderstood that you were looking for a mesh system that would work with an existing openwrt router. Seems what you're looking for is a mesh system that can be flashed with openwrt.

For that I can only suggest that you look at the supported hardware table and see if you can find what you need.

Editing my previous comment for my mistake.

I was just going to say. I have 2 LG TVs at home, not the official SD dock, but a couple of aftermarket ones, and they both work perfectly fine.

Also, LG TVs are notoriously slow to display after a change of HDMI (1 to 2 for example), so make sure you give it a few seconds (both my TVs can take up to 10 seconds to display).

That's not strictly FOSS.

~~If you're not looking to segregate your network or any other "advanced" network feature, you can't really get better value that Tplink Deco.~~

Edit: I misunderstood what the op was asking for. This answer is not valid for that.

 

Finally got my wife away from Windows and on Fedora 40 (Gnome 46).

Now, when her PC goes to suspend and when she wakes it up, one of her 2 monitors doesn't wake up.

Both are connected to HDMI ports (no dedicated video card, just the integrated card in her Ryzen 9).

Any ideas on what could be happening? I wouldn't want her to go back to Winblows over something so insignificant, but she would.

I made wanderer - a self-hosted trail and GPS track database

Over the last two months, I developed wanderer. It is a self-hosted alternative to sites like alltrails.com or in other words a self-hosted trail database. It started out more as a small hobby project to teach myself some new technologies but in the end, I decided to develop it into a fully-fledged application.

Core Features:

  • Manage your trails
  • Extensive map integration and visualization
  • Share trails with other people and explore theirs
  • Advanced filter and search functionality
  • Create custom lists to organize your trails further
  • Chique design with a dark and light theme
  • Fully mobile compatible

wanderer is completely open-source. You can find the GitHub repo here: https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer

wanderer is still under active development so if you encounter any bugs/errors or have suggestions please let me know here or open an issue on GitHub.

Not 100% in agreement with some of her videos, but I believe this one is spot on, and probably easier to understand by regular folk.

I set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with AdguardHome for a friend of mine, and told him to disconnect everything at home and try to watch anything on his phone, being the only device using his home's internet.

He just sent me this, and now he's ready to #degoogle 🤣🤣🤣

He says there were hundreds in less than 5 minutes.

I've looked under my bed, in our pantry,and even went under the deck, nothing. Please help me find a FOSS android keyboard in which I can have the numbers to the right of the keyboard, like a computer keyboard keypad, even better if it has gifs.. The only android keyboard I know about that has that option is Swiftkey. Being a Microsoft app, you can understand why I'm not willing to use it anymore. AnySoftKeyboard and Florisboard don't have the option,at least I could not find it.
