This takes me back. Y’all made me recall running Trillian Pro with a cracked loader. Oh, and what about DeadAIM?! I feel ashamed (as a current FOSS fan) that I didn’t switch to Pidgin until after pirating all the popular AIM alternatives.
Eternity is working fine for me. Try logging in again (or clear the app’s data and then login).
This is a non-issue. Why not use Aegis and backup your own credentials? I wouldn’t trust Authy (or any 2FA app that includes cloud backup).
It doesn’t need to be opened with any specific app. Android lets you set default apps for different file types (this is determined by the ending file name characters after the “.”). Since you’re on GrapheneOS, you’re probably privacy-conscience and would be wise to stick with the app included with the OS. This behavior contrasts a user who heads to the Play Store and goes with any PDF reader willy-nilly.
GrapheneOS actually has a built in PDF reader. Open the “Apps” app if it isn’t installed. Look for “PDF Reader” and make sure its installed.
About $300. Lately I have purchased a lightly used Pixel off eBay (when the new generation drops) and have had great success.
Syncthing accomplishes both local and Internet transfers and doesn’t need a third party server (if you’re not doing NAT traversal). I don’t think you can send individual files through it’s interface. But you can share a directory and any files you add (or edit) will sync via P2P to other devices.
OK cool. I’ve played around with blocking net permission for other apps on Graphene and confirmed it really kills Internet access. I’ve been on Nova since I started on Android many years ago. Old habits are hard to give up. I’m in the same boat and haven’t found a replacement launcher either.
I’m still running Nova on Graphene. I revoked the network permission. That should mean I’m safe from spying, right?
I can 2nd that SyncThing works well with KeePass. I have it running on Windows, Android, and a few Debian computers (guys, I use Linux) and I’ve never had an issue. I just checked (and apparently I’m a thug), because I’ve been using “No File Versioning” for years. You may want to opt for any of the available options to err on the side of caution. As long as you’re adamant about syncing any changes ASAP (and not modifying the database on 2 different devices simultaneously), you won’t have issues. Even when I have screwed up (by editing the DB on 2 devices), the KeePassDX client on Android has handled it gracefully and allowed me to merge the conflicts. I also always keep regular backups of my database outside of the whole SyncThing monstrosity (just for worst case scenarios). Cheers mate, give a whirl.
Thanks! Will do! I have since bailed from Verizon, so that seems like a long shot.
Gotcha. Thanks for confirming I’m scewed. Its definitely a Verizon-specific Pixel 5 I bought used and I ran for a bit.
Are there any alternative OS options for a Pixel 5 with a locked bootloader? Edit: I think carrier-locked is the more accurate term. The option to unlock the bootloader in developer options is greyed out.
If you think you’re paraphrasing me, that’s incorrect. I love my Pixel 5. Its still very much a capable device and its a shame Google stopped supporting it. The fingerprint reader is more accurate than the one on my Pixel 7 and I prefer the smaller size. Mine unfortunately has a locked bootloader, so upgrading to an actively-updated OS is not an option for mine. The 5 is far from garbage and I’m sad Google abandoned it.
Totally unrelated, but I just want to let you know: the last security update for Pixel 5 was a few months ago. You should stop using that phone as soon as possible.
FPV is hugely popular these days. You can get small, light cameras with low latency that connect to goggles (or TV/monitor). Its fairly affordable and you wouldn’t need a large RC vehicle to live out your Home Alone 3 dreams!
Edit: The car in the movie is a Tyco Mutator (for any interested RC nerds).
Gotcha. A ZigBee/Z-wave plug was the first thing that came to mind. I’ll probably go the same route. I was merely saying that wireless-anything is less dependable than wired. But I don’t even know if wired smart plugs exist. I use wireless sensors around my home and I’ve never had an issue with dependability. I definitely wasn’t considering Z-wave as a local attack vector. I was just brainstorming some way to avoid a wireless solution for something where dependability is paramount.
Care to share what outlet you had success with? I’m comfortable with Home Assistant and ZigBee/Z-Wave. Something this critical probably shouldn’t be wireless, but I digress. I’m also interested in what software you’re using for monitoring and alerts (if you’re willing to share). Cheers!
That’s a good Momma. Helping out pups of all species.
Its spelled KeePass (not to be pedantic, just for clarity). Here’s a link on F-droid for KeePassDX. Others should chime in, but I think KeePassXC is the best choice for Win/Linux/Mac. Then sync your database via Syncthing (or your trusted cloud provider).
