CalyxOS , though updates are temporarily paused for unknown period , you can get Fairphone 4 or Fairphone 5 , if privacy is your main concern and you don’t mind downgrading

2·6 months agoI’ve successfully debloated two googled ROMs before, once in stock and the other on a custom ROM with GApps prebuilt, and while you can debloat major parts like Google play and Google services, minor parts cause annoying crashes and functionality loss if you debloated it to get a full degoogled ROM, at that point , using a Vanilla ROM is better

It depends on how you use your phone and what the physical attacker aims
- if you use a custom ROM with decrypted /data partition by default and no way to encrypt it, the attacker can get access to all of your data from recovery even if you’ve set a lock (like password/PIN/pattern) in the ROM, but if your custom ROM is encrypted and protected with a lock, the attacker must know your password to decrypt /data partition in recovery
- if the attacker aims to replace a part of your phone with a sus one (like a boot partition for example), he must be a developer who knows how to build things designed for your exact phone model, otherwise your phone will get bricked
- if your phone is rooted and you give root permission to sus modules and apps, it’s possible to install malware and do shady things in it without physical access
My recommendations:
- only use trusted ROMs
- only use an encrypted ROM ( official LineageOS is encrypted if I’m not wrong) , encrypted ROMs are slightly slower than unencrypted ones, but safer
- set a lock to the ROM
- avoid giving ROOT access to untrusted modules and apps
- (if you’re paranoid) clean flash every time you update or switch ROMs, as this will replace any sus partition flashed by an attacker
- (if you’re using decrypted ROM and custom recovery) set a password to the recovery, BUT if it’s orangefox make sure to remove the password before updating the recovery, otherwise you’ll get troubles

I actually stopped getting messages from them during the last 3 months ( I was inactive on Lemmy ) , so yeah maybe that’s the case, or it’s targeting online people whether they replyed or not

1·1 year agoWhenever I know that a podcast has a specific number of episodes I just wonder: what to do after finishing it? especially if I really get interested in it?.. so what do you do in this case?
Well I assumed trying is better than nothing, I only tried once though
tbh pronounces don’t matter in this issue, whoever that person is, it’s unwanted spam

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is there any actual good content on PeerTube?English
1·1 year agoThere is, but it’s still inferior to YouTube

I guesa location might be needed to scan WiFi, stay still, if the app is unknown and closed source it’s still better to avoid it
