You could run Waydroid on it, which I think would let you use most of the apps you need, except maybe banking apps and the like.

I would love to make a move, but my reason for not trying out for example postmarketOS yet, is the lack of access to several of the core phone features. From the postmarketOS wiki page, for my phone (Fairphone 4), it lacks access to camera, GPS, NFC (don’t care), audio and battery (not sure what is meant by that), and has partial support for calls (not sure what is meant by partial support).

I just now checked the status for Ubuntu Touch however, and it seems like they have actually gotten these things working. Interesting!

Their demise wasn’t due to lack of popularity, the company just had problems getting established, and ultimately didn’t survive its initial growth phase.

Hm, I thought their demise was due to them arbitrarily going back in time.

If I had to guess, this is them meeting other Open Source contributors where they usually are, which in large part is GitHub these days.

Out of 28 projects whose release note RSS-feed I subscribe to, 25 of them are hosted on GitHub. While I’d love to see more of these projects move away from GitHub, it is understandable that they go where the largest amount of devs are. I’d love to see more of them start mirroring their repositories to Codeberg or their own Forgejo instance though, to give developers the opportunity to contribute while not alienating the devs who stay on GitHub. At least that would lessen the loss of opportunities for the devs when ditching GitHub - but I am not sure whether it is trivial or a hassle to maintain that kind of setup.

I run CalyxOS and have automatic updates from F-Droid.

They can’t really say no to a free app

A co-worker was told (verbatim) by the head of IT that " we don’t use open source". So yeah…

tl;dr: Gradual exposure over time.

I got used to it through work, as I had to ssh into a server to run simulations. That mainly involved navigating the file system and text editing (which I used vim for) to make some basic Python and bash scripts, including sed and awk. The latter two I never got comfortable using, and haven’t really touched since.

I was using macOS at the time, and after using that for work, the terminal in macOS got at first less scary and then a preferred way of accomplishing certain tasks. On my work Windows computer I started missing having a proper terminal around, and I eventually found Cygwin and later Git Bash to give me that terminal fix in Windows as well. Especially with the latter I noticed few differences and could use it to a large extent as I would have on my then Macbook.

2-3 years ago I was in need of a new computer, and at that point a laptop with Linux on it was not a very scary prospect. That is by no way saying I went into Linux as an expert, far from it, and I am still very much a newbie - but opening the terminal to work with things is not at all a barrier, which helps a lot if you use Linux and want to be able to do some changes from the defaults. If you don’t want that, I think you can go far these days without opening the terminal, but it is certainly a good skill to have.

You also don’t have access to your fire box in that Hanoi alley.

hunter2 can both be stored in a password mananger and be remembered!

That’s simple and smart. I had played around with the thought of storing encrypted versions of my password manager vault freely available, and making the password a Ceasar cipher of the first letters of each chapter of some book I am sure to find freely online. Not so simple and smart, but at least some fun. Except maybe when you actually need to use it.

At least it was a good night.

I’m thankfully currently not in that situation, but while the situation is meant as a joke, the question is serious.

If I stored everything I needed on a Google account that’s not 2FA-enabled and with a password you remember in your head, things are not that bleak in this particular situation, although it is hardly a convenience that makes it worth it to have that kind of setup in my opinion (and I would assume to most people frequenting this community).

On what computer, and where did you get the ISO from?

I really want to get to a point I can transition to using this or another mobile Linux distro. My phone is fairly (hehe, it’s a Fairphone) well supported, but my impression is that basic phone features are still not functioning properly making it more of a pocket computer and less of a phone. I still need phone features. As for mobile apps, I don’t have many needs and I think Waydroid will get me far.

And this has actually happened before?

And apart from an undesirable bandwidth usage resulting from someone guessing their way to my file structure, how can this be used to compromise my server?

I’m not overly concerned about my instance running behind a reverse proxy. Perhaps I am just naive…

Why would they need to connect to a VPN every time they connect to Jellyfin?

Ah, got it! That sounds like an unhealthy amount of trust to give to a container, but I understand the need to give that access to the mastercontainer.

rsync from one server to the other.

When actually loading in the backup from the Nextcloud AIO interface, I specified the path on my local system (not the container).
