Smart home type stuff is with minor exceptions a total nightmare. Bad security, bad privacy, and bad longevity. Just no. There are some of these things that just don’t work without connection back to the mother-ship, or at least lack major features. Generally it is recommended that if you do have these sorts of things, put them on a separate network at least.

Lookup alternatives at alternativeto.net. Signal is probably the best but there are others. Problem with chat, both people have to use. F-Droid is a good resource too.

I would not call FOSS a cult any more then unions or the civil rights movement.

You could install a hot mount SATA drive slot too if your using a workstation. I actually have 3.

Fairphone maybe.

Yes, there is that.

No but if you have a contract with a providor you pay for, those are the terms. For example Google free servicies they mine data but their paid services they do not. Sure e2ee is better but transport encryption is good.

I use my ATX case I have had since 1998 and an ATX mother board. I generally go AMD and use one of their best lower power processors. Last was an 8 core. I added SATA hot swap bays.

It is complicated. There is land out there that is not suitable for agriculture on one hand so free range grass fed might not be that bad, but herd animals produce methane too which is a powerful greenhouse gas. Then there is the whole question of eating meat from live animals as well if one cares about that and synthetic might be a way around that. Then of course the whole eco footprint issue. It would be interesting to know more.

I am thinking on the margin. Might be better to reduce meat rather then replace with synthetic meat.

Once one has done that, compare what is left including synthetic.

Google is promoting MTA-STS. MS is at least testing it and some others. Proton mail might support, check. I use NameCheap shared hosting mail. They support incoming but not outgoing.

Sure it is clear inside each org but secures between. Nice because you can secure in your org by contract. Not as good as e2ee of course.

In prinxipal fine. In fact I would like to understand the resource intensiveness of the supply chain and health effects. Wonder if vegitarian is better direction for example.

There is an advantage of using a provider that suports MTA STS. This is Strict Transport Security and forces at least transport encryption.

There is an advantage to use a provider you pay for too and at least claims not to read your email.

It is also nice if they can host your domain and have good delivery.

Edit: I meant MTA STS not SMTP STS.

Is there a reason to not just use du? Or use either and just look at certain trees? Or just get a bigger drive so it does not matter?

In US, had French and Latin, plus of course English.

Oh really. What are you even taking about. Have you even used GrapheneOS. Get real.

Why? Google closing android development? Lack of hardware to install it on?

Fairphone is the open platform. The GrapheneOS guys could start working with that. It is an actual project including a hardware supplier not bound to Google. Another one is Purism, but their stuff is often very expensive. As long as the Pixel is a fully open hardware platform we will be fine, but they could choose to lock it down at any time.

I did read the post. Way easier to install GrapheneOS then it is to fiddle with non-existent privacy controls on stock. GrapheneOS is highly popular and pretty much just works so the on life support thing is BS. Yes if you must have one of the few apps that don’t work, sure you’ll have to use stock or just not use the app. I’ve not found any apps that I need that don’t run on GrapheneOS but there are some.

Keep in mind too, that not all apps work on all stock phones either for one reason or another.

Just install GrapheneOS. Simple.
