#obtanium — Public Fediverse posts

@stonebear2 haha! Blooming good question. All I can wonder is: if one installs Signal via #obtanium, would it face the same problem? I assume it would, but I don't know. Also can you have a second instance of Molly on your work profile maybe?

*If* you're looking for mainstream alternatives without age verification, you may wish to consider #grapheneOS ... I mostly use FOSS apps via #Obtanium or #Fdroid and the few proprietary apps I use (banking, MS teams, etc...) work fine. I've observed that users who are completely dependent on many niche proprietary apps sometimes complain about lost functionality. Equally I accept this is the cohort least likely to have capacity to find solutions to their problems. Anyway, Your Mileage May Vary is all I'm trying to say!

@alternativeto how does it compare to #Obtanium?

@82mhz Not quite what you're looking for, but the #Obtanium app installer let's you back up a list of its installed apps to your cloud service, so you can reinstall the list if occasion arises. I have a feeling #neostore might allow this too.

@geerlingguy @lattera ok i will escalate to rsj and simply ask - what is the best sbc device for building out these toys, i think pikvm is basically open sourced so caveat request to parts that are actually available #kvm branding #splash page #obtanium chinesium
testing some of the options against like 1g fiber may remove some of the bottlenecks and unknowns
Alternative: Used Thin Client

Consider a Dell Wyse 5070 or HP t630 - often cheaper than SBCs, x86 architecture, better software compatibility, and includes USB3/PCIe. #sw stack #orange pi #build of materials #alibaba vs ebay

@doboprobodyne #obtanium is automated side loading (yes I use it to). It'll have the same problems as #fdroid on #android

@BenjaminHCCarr #obtanium

Android: #Obtanium (instead of #FDroid app) is really awesome for managing app updates.

However, this method has an issue when the naming schema of the #apk files change on the server side, and you're using a name filter to determine the matching release file. You don't get updates anymore and you don't realize it. 🤷

Be alert.

Today, I've got a very nasty upgrade issue with #SyncthingFork since they also decided to change the naming schema, the backup file format and had a direct upgrade issue. Bad combination.

Details: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/issues/1442 and my own issue because of not following directions very closely: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/issues/1524

#Syncthing

I first started using #fdroid in my #foss #android journey. Now, over the past few months I've been using #obtanium, though now I struggle to see the appeal. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I'm sort of split between just using fdroid (probably with droid-ify) or Obtanium. I'm really not sure, I don't want to have to put in the effort in switching over, but at the same time I'm not sure what the benefit of Obtanium is over fdroid. I really don't know if I should switch or not, any opinions?

@m2m I'd love to get a Fairphone. At the moment I have a Galaxy S24 from my employer which is fine.. I've replaced all the default apps/keyboard with FOSS/offline alternatives and use both #Accrescent and #Obtanium for APK installations.

I'm hoping alternate firmware will be available to this phone sooner than later.

#obtanium ist für mich die beste Art Android Apps die nicht im #fdroidstore sind aktuell zu halten und zu aktualisieren👍

@schmittlauch @FFMbyBicycle @thinkpad Der Workaround besteht darin solche Programme via Aurora Store zu installieren. Beim Stadtmobil-App werden beispielsweise Karten aus #openstreetmap verwendet. Da gibt es keinen Zwang zu Google APIs. Klar noch schöner wäre es natürlich die App wäre FOSS und es gäbe sie bei @fdroidorg #obtanium und co.

So Obtanium may be my favorite Android app. Whenever one of the things I installed through it gets an update, it says "Kotatsu may have updated" (emphasis mine), and I giggle a little.

Obtainium — агрегатор закачек apk из разных источников

Android предлагает богатый выбор сторонних репозиториев и магазинов приложений помимо Play Маркета: F-Droid (opensource), Aptoide, APKMirror и фирменные магазины вендоров. Однако разработчики часто выкладывают приложения только на собственных сайтах или GitHub. Это требует самостоятельной загрузки и отслеживания обновлений APK-файлов, что слишком то неудобно. Для упрощения процесса можно использовать Obtainium - приложение для добавления нестандартных источников и получения оповещений о новых версиях программ.

@dansup this is fantastic now that #pixelfed has APK releases on Github - we can use #Obtanium and similar to get the updates direct as soon as they are published on Github!

@AccurstDemon I keep considering #Obtanium, but I enjoy the security of the reproducible builds of #FDroid and #IzzyOnDroid. With Obtanium, there's nothing between me and a malicious release.

@snikket_im or also the #Obtanium app for Android draws the APK directly from Github and installs it as it is released, for those who like living on the sharper edge ;-)
