I’ve an old OP7T, with 512gb. Only thing is security is no longer updated. Installing Linux is fun, sure, but security is lacking because the hardware vendors no longer updates the drivers. Meaning big security holes. At least this is my understanding, or the thing could act as cloud storage, or at least local storage.

Local storage is so abundant, and cloud so expensive. We will hopefully see more innovation to bridge the gap for non sys admins. I.e. no more rent extraction!

Don’t buy the fairphone 4, qualcom doesn’t support the drivers. Security is shit. As to the 5 and 6, they don’t meet the hardware security requirements of the GOS team.

If security is your priority go for a Pixel with GOS.

Filen offers a mountable drive stackable 100gb lifetime deal. Free 10gb, so 110gb. The lifetime deal is like 20 bucks. So pay 40 bucks 220gb. The deals are stackable.

If you use my referral I get an additional 30gb 😂

Anyways that’s not why I recommend them, i was in the same position using syncthing, self hosting. Until I spend the time to harden remote access filen is simple and damn good.

Use Signal instead.

Or Graphene OS, second profile, VPN etc. But accept all chats, contacts, meta data or monitored. Sign up process using anon data is getting harder and harder, especially with phone number controls. The hard part isn’t going to be running it, in a secure enclave, but signing up with anon data.

Fast and Automated and way to contact your domestic and EU representative!

A “political blackmail” – the EU Parliament is pressing for an agreement on the chat scanning bill

Third is the best. It gets better and better imo

I agree somewhat in the context of centralization. But the spread of the fediverse is a good thing. If Lemmy grows, alongside decentralization, then it should stay true to its roots.
