  • I will always recommend Borg backup just because of it’s compression+de-duplication algorithms:

    550gb of raw data, 20 historical backups going back over a year (10.98tb of data total), only 400gb of disc space used to store them all…

    You can backup directly to remote servers via ssh, nfs, or directly between two borg instances, optionally encrypted in transit and at rest.

    Borg is a CLI tool normally, but there are a number of GUI frontends you can use if you really want: Vorta, BorgWeb, and BorgWarehouse for example. (I’ve not used any of these, just examples from a google search)










  • This has actually been one of the biggest reasons I’ve been hesitant too. Looking at that list, my bank isn’t on it (a regional credit union), nor is my credit card provider which also has an app for management.

    Ontop of that, there’s a provincial ID app that’s recently rolled out. It’s become somewhat important for reaching certain government services and can only really be transfered from one working device to another unless you go through the whole process to have it issued again.

    I have no idea if that will work on graphine and I don’t have a second device to transfer it to while I wipe this and put a new ROM on it.

    I do want to try GraphineOS, but I think I’m going to wait for my next device and start from scratch with that.

    That does leave me with a question though. If you do install GraphineOS or another os/rom and it’s not working out for you; how hard is it to get back to factory, or at least back to a ‘standard’ android install?


  • Well there was the shift a couple years ago with Reddit seeking to dramatically increase ad revenue, so they banned the use of third party clients to force users through their monetization racket.

    Along with that, they clamped down on the API preventing search engines or other applications from indexing data unless they paid reddit for it, ontop of selling user data to AI companies regardless of what the community thinks of that practice. (afaik, there’s no opt-out either)

    And now, they’ve made a pretty big pivot in cracking down on free speach; banning users for so much as liking a comment that contains the word ‘Luigi’ (even if obviously video game related and nothing to do with politics).
