    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 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.

    Definitely try it, using NixOS after the "horrors" of Arch feels much more secure. Your system is basically unbreakable, not unintentionally, at least.

    This sounds awesome, but what authorities exactly are the correct ones? What happens when I want to report THE authorities?

    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.

  • 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 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 :)
