I own a Pixel 7 and although not ideal, it's certainly better than most of the phones out there for me. The only downsides of daily driving a Pixel are battery drain and overheating. Granted, I live in a rather cold climate so I imagine it being not the most useful piece of tech for the folks near the equator...

It's been confirmed that Pixel 10 will finally get a non-exynos chip, so perhaps it can indeed become the pinnacle of Android smartphones, who knows.

This scenario still requires Google to play their cards right, however, but there's hope.

You are absolutely correct, you got both of them right!

After 3 years of using MacOS as a main OS, I am more than convinced it was indeed the intention.

You are much better off using a Pixel with GrapheneOS as far as privacy and security are concerned. Believe it or not, Google Pixels are the best smartphones to use de-googled. Truly outstanding.

Look up why Graphene team only supports these phones, it's on their FAQ page.

Say whatever you want, Snowden's a fucking hero for sharing this.

This might be what you are looking for.

It is not uncommon to find "Wine wrappers" to actually work better than on Windows itself.

Definitely try "Read You"! It utilises Material You, has a sick UI and the dev is really nice. I think there are a lot of features, but I've just left almost everything on default.

Thank you, these are great tips!

Thanks, that helped!

Thanks! No, that's exactly what I wanted to do :) I was just wondering if it's okay to have this many random requests, which seems to be fine.

 

I have a Jellyfin instance on my local server which I forward to the public web via a cloudflare tunnel. I'm not sure how secure it is, and I keep getting random requests from all over the world. It's my first experience maintaining something on a public domain so I may be worrying about something obvious, but some advice would still be appreciated.

My SSL/TLS encryption mode appears to be "Full".

I've set up a cloudflare tunnel, all you need is a domain. It forwards my local Jellyfin instance to the public web, and is easy to get started with. I'm not sure how secure it is though, so I would appreciate any advice from more enlightened pirates.

 

I use Radarr and Sonarr for my movies/shows, and Spotify for music, but I do know there's another *arr app for that. The question is, is it worth setting up and how easy is it to discover new/similar music as opposed to Spotify, given that Spotify isn't expensive at all. And how do you fellow crewmen go about it?

I have a Pixel 7, stock Android 14. It is my only phone and I love the stock system. But I am trying to gradually ditch Google and its services, for reasons well-known in this community and Lemmy in general. How much would I gain/lose using a custom ROM with/without GApps?

Update: Switched to GrapheneOS, no regrets :)
