  1. When it comes to getting at least close to all my basic needs & wants met in a degoogled smartphone setup, I've got basically the blackberry #Key1 or Key 2, or #Unhertz titan with at least #PostMarketOS with those options having a $200-600 price range, most being $400-500.

    Or #Motorola phones and a separate mini keyboard, with #Calyx or #PostmarketOS, with a $70- $700 price range, most being under $250.

    On #smartphones heavier for me is always better, so if as I suspect the cheaper option is also heavier, that's another selling point for it.

    When an $800-900 item & setup is inferior to a $70- $250 one, this isn't anywhere near a matter of my being too picky, but rather a matter of the ridiculousness of insisting that everyone has the same exact needs!

  6. #Molly app has a socks5 option but only #Orbot "VPN" mode will work. What if #Arti from @torproject could bind with Molly on socks5 via #Termux?

    would be nice to have #systemd like @postmarketOS

    *Termux @termux
    pkg update (possible to plug in keyboard and display to #android #mobile app)
    then proot-distro login --isolated debian
    su - user because Arti will complain eventhough phone is not really rooted, change etc/resolv.conf to cloudflare, add dependencies needed for #rust rustup and cargo on #debian #trixie, chmod g-w ~/.config

    * #Oniux --> E0560

    * Arti --> works great. Have not noticed any "anti-effects." Also works on #Alpine / #PostmarketOS in Termux tests.

    * apkeep #EFF eff.org/pages/apkeep --> shared storage path, package manager chokepoint won't install

    * network monitoring like Nyx with #tokio-console

    In a way, like passwordless root in QubesOS. Some good customizations can be made in Dom0, though, unlike GrapheneOS.

  7. One year later… Inception! 👀

    The #Fairphone5’s front camera is working well (with an impressively smooth refresh rate) on #postmarketOS. 🚀

    Shot from another #Fairphone 5 running #CalyxOS, that I actually bought a couple of hours after the original post ⤴️

    Thank you so much for what you do, @postmarketOS! ❤️

  8. The #Bleeding #Heart #Vine has beautiful #flowers, often with bold, striking, #red #petals and a stark #white outer layer called a #calyx that opens to let the mature flower through.
    The image of a blood-red flower erupting from a container might suggest why it’s popular name is #BleedingHeartVine

  9. For #privacy minded folks on the go - and even at home.

    Did you know that an Internet membership plan with the #Calyx Institute comes with a mobile #WiFi #hotspot with #unlimited_data?

    Maybe you did, but did you know that your Internet connectivity is #anonymous?

    What? How so?

    Because the only thing that shows up is "Calyx Institute" with the carrier - not your name!
