I don't mean to sound hostile, that's probably my past demons coming out. Like I said in my last comment, it's really apt that I hate. It would constantly break or put me into dependency hell and I haven't had to deal with that (yet) with Fedora.

I haven't put my finger on it, but Fedora, for whatever reason, also just feels faster.

It's mostly personal preference, but I have grown to hate apt in general. I used it for over a decade and constantly got in dependency hell. I've yet to have anything like that happen on Fedora, especially Silverblue and CoreOS.

My pihole exploded yesterday, all my fault. A couple of years ago, I created a script called via cron to update pihole's services every other week. This was great, until now when it updated to v6 at 4am. To make matters worse, I neglected to automate raspian updates, meaning it was very out of date, and was no longer compatible with pihole-FTL (thinking back, I thought I automated it too, but I guess not).

I took an image after creating a pihole "teleporter" backup, and began formatting. In my lack of caffeine and focus, I missed that my teleporter file was corrupt after I had successfully wiped the SD card. Thankfully I had that image as I was able to mount it and retrieve my blocklists via sqlite, otherwise I would have had to start from scratch.

One good thing that came out of it (for my taste, anyway) was that I swapped the OS on the pi to fedora. No more debian around here!

Tomorrow, I plan on setting up some backup automation for my pi, as it's the only machine missing backups at this point.

It's a fork of Mull, in fact!

How do you configure it to do that, then? Because calyx's docs only say that it's either disabled, enabled without a Google account, or fully enabled. The last two send some data to Google regardless. I'm genuinely asking, because this is the main reason why I left Calyx for Graphene. I saw my phone hitting Google services when I wasn't even using it. Graphene lets me disable network for apps entirely, something that wasn't a thing for Calyx either (at the time).

Does Calyx allow you to disable your USB port as well?

Also, I'm still curious about what you said earlier about GrapheneOS being a 'trap'. Can you elaborate?

As another user stated in reply to you earlier, this is debatable. Debating does not equal hate, I used to use MicroG a ton (I was a CalyxOS/LineageOS user before). But, you must acknowledge that MicroG still communicates with Google, and you can't disable this at the OS level. That's the primary benefit of sandboxed Google Play - you can take away full access and many apps will continue to function, and on top of that, the sandboxing layer ensures that the rest of your phone is secure.

MicroG is fine, it's great, even. But it's not infallible, and depending on your threat model, that's something to at least consider.

Can you explain more about how it's a trap, though? This is an open source project that you can build yourself.

It should be noted that these were already being mitigated by GrapheneOS before this came out, mostly thanks to the hardware-level USB disable feature. https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114081913638905015

Has anyone played along to see what the end scam is?

Induction is the best, I'll never go back

I miss the cool ranch ones..

I've had Tuta for years and can't recall ads.. what do you mean?

Tuta has catch all addresses, meaning you can use any email on your domain and it will go into your inbox. You don't even need to "create" it if the option is enabled - it just takes anything sent your domain and drops it into your inbox. For passwords, you can't beat Bitwarden/Vaultwarden. Tuta has a calendar (but I don't really use it, I use self hosted WebDAV instead). I've not needed a cloud drive (I have a NAS and nextcloud) so I can't really suggest anything for that.
