Sorry, but this is really useless. I support the cause, but there is absolutely no need for this software. I think this community is meant for software that actually has a use.

Does it have to be http? If FTP is ok too, you can try primitive ftpd, or the built-in FTP feature in Material Files or Amaze.

That’s great

I feel like this article should be posted on centralized social media platforms instead, in order to attract new users to the Fediverse.

Does Google Fi allow for OEM unlocking (to install a custom ROM)?

Calyx is pretty insecure by default, it removes some default AOSP security features and is very slow to push security patches. And it doesn’t include any of the GrapheneOS security features like hardened SELinux, a hardened kernel, secure app spawning, hardened Chromium browser and WebView or hardware-based integrity attestation. It also uses a very flawed Google Play services implementation (microG) which requires root and has worse app compatibility.

Using a device with no vendor-provided firmware security patches doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. Also, the Pixel 8a gets 7 years of updates. That’s plenty of time, and most people get a new phone after a much shorter time.

Bruh I’m just casually asking, what’s wrong with that question

What Magisk modules do you need to use?

GrapheneOS has so many advantages over Lineage, there’s no reason to use Lineage on a Pixel

Yeah I remember the OnePlus One like 10 years ago, it was genuinely a nice phone

I haven’t tried OxygenOS, but I used Oppo’s ColorOS (which is basically the same thing; there are only a few minor differences, since OnePlus is a subsidiary of Oppo) and it was terrible. The entire OS felt like a buggy mess, and the battery life was terrible because of all the garbage running in the background. I spent an entire weekend removing all the bloatware, but the experience still sucked. That was 2 years ago, after my iPhone XS broke, and I just needed a new phone quickly. My carrier had a deal at the time, where I got the Oppo phone almost for free (very small direct payment, no monthly payments), so I took it. After about a month, I just couldn’t stand it anymore and returned the phone. Then I bought a Google Pixel 6 Pro, flashed GrapheneOS on it, and it’s been great ever since. I’m never using a Chinese phone again. A friend showed me his Xiaomi phone and said that it’s basically unusable with the stock ROM. Phone manufacturers should really stop messing with the goddamn OS, they always manage to turn it into a giant pile of shit. I’ll definitely stick with (preferably degoogled) operating systems that are as close to AOSP as possible, like GrapheneOS.

Both are great. Unraid makes things really easy with their Community Apps feature. On the technical side, I prefer TrueNAS Scale because it’s based on Debian, whereas Unraid is based on Slackware Linux. TrueNAS Scale is fully FOSS, whereas big parts of Unraid are proprietary. But there are more guides and tutorials for Unraid, as it seems to be the more popular option. If you’re going to install Unraid, definitely check out Spaceinvader One on YouTube, he’s got some awesome videos on the topic.

I know, I mean I haven’t really played it much and haven’t progressed far. I feel like I missed out on a huge part of the game. Will definitely get back to it some day.

The OS itself is degoogled by default, but it has a reliable and officially supported option for adding Google services, if you need them.

Unraid would be my first suggestion as well. But if you prefer something FOSS, check out TrueNAS Scale. (It is important that you go with TrueNAS Scale, not Core. TrueNAS Core is the continuation of the former FreeNAS, which is based on FreeBSD. Since it’s not a Linux system, it doesn’t support Docker. TrueNAS Scale is based on Debian Linux and much closer to Unraid, it has full support for KVM Virtualization and Docker containers.)

I can already smell the buggy, privacy-invasive Chinese ROM with terrible UX

Honestly, no. Whenever I see late notifications its usually on a degoogled phone

Usually, yes. But there is one exception: GrapheneOS. Since it allows you to use Sandboxed Google Play services, notifications work just like on any other Android device, you just need to disable battery optimization for Play services. But unfortunately it is only compatible with Google Pixel devices.
