Everything as service, even base metals isn't exactly what I was expecting from the phrase "You'll own nothing and be happy"

The banks are also a commonly mentioned reason to not use Grapheneos when it comes up on this site.

Attestation is already putting the screws onto open computing, and the frog is already on the boil.

Agreed the modern push against root access is a prime example of attempted enshitification lock-in.

If you don't have root rights, you don't really own it. All other arguments are talking past this key point.

Between podman docker and general VM's there hasn't been a better time to be selfhosting. I tend to find any abstractions on top of this to be quite limiting and difficult to extricate yourself once something goes wrong.

Or if you are using an alternative os you can use a fake google photos app.

It used to use your default gallery app, I see it as another anti-competitive choice on googles part

Ok this is not as bad as I feared, disable still works and that uninstalls any updates that app has gotten.

It was always a bit surprising you could uninstall an app in a "read only" partition

Probably because everything seems to be an "app" these days. Even when it has no business being one.

Only if they are using hardware key attestation. From what I've read elsewhere it looks like it was never broken so maybe they never went that far before.

This is a really interesting signal tbh.

While it sounds like it already works on GrapheneOS having a corporation come out and say they won't go out of their way to break it is quite unusual.

Even without koreader a kobo is refreshingly open to tinkering. Getting root and ssh access is just a matter of renaming a file on the disk.

I got the colour after being on an old paperwhite for many years so thankfully it's a big step up for me.

Not op but I have an opensense box and a semi managed switch and an couple of TP-Link omada controlled ap's for wifi.

It can make management a bit difficult if you're not careful, but I have wireguard listening on all the vlans so I can bypass any restrictions on any connection it can get my laptop onto if needed.

Shouldn't we be able to repair a tiny glued togethee tech gadget as well?

Using Proton tricks hasn't been too difficult a task for me on Bazzite and my steam deck. But my modding experience hasn't been that extensive. Mostly tinkering with Deus ex and Starwars x-wing alliance

Except with modern tooling it's not a huge task anymore to run these services.

Cost wise on the right hardware it is very cheap to run, add the privacy/personal control aspect it's no wonder so many people do it.

Yes any RSS reader works for this task.

There are two types of channel RSS feeds

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<CHANNEL_ID>

And the older

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=<username>

Youtube used to have an opml export button but there are a few github projects that convert the youtube subscription csv that dumps out of the account data export.

Edit: If you want to filter out shorts using the selfhosted application rssbridge allows you to do this.

Functionaly it's dubious if this will not cause further issues. Developer tools cause some security checks to fail. It's not yet known if the unknown apps setting will do the same

The browser would be far too slow for practical use. Local fist software, which ironically outlook is, would be the way to go.

Put your money where your mouth is

Be the change you want to see

Vote with your wallet

These are all sayings emphasizing going out of your way for a social good. This is just more of the same.

> These days, everybody is an expert photographer

If that were true there would be no wedding photographer's or any sales of high end DSLR's. The barrier of entry may have fallen but the need for real experts and tools still exists.

I expect AI's will cause a similar shift, lower barrier to entry but still requiring the hand of the expert in critical situations.

Selfhosted apps are going to start using PWA's in an even bigger way if this goes ahead.

I know I'm writing a complaint to my country's regulator after this. This is just blatant anti-competitive behaviour.

Could have been due to using a free hosting provider for TT-RSS. I self-host it and have done so for almost a decade with very few issues.

That said as always with software your mileage may vary.

The Read you app looks promising, if a bit different workflow wise. I'll give it a shot with the Fresh API plugin. Thanks!

I still perfer the TT-RSS, now on github without Fox (The dev most people had issues with).

The android app isn't maintained at the moment but it's still one of the best rss apps I have ever used

I had issues during COVID. The hand sanitizer and Hand Moisturizer seemed to be a brutal combom on my work MX mice.

Everyone had the horrid goop issue as well, you're not mad.

According to keepandroidopen.org they haven't updated their wording yet and no real movement has happened to implement this

> Google’s description of the program ↗ continues to state plainly that:

    "Starting in September 2026, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed on certified Android devices"

I always find myself missing widgets with KISS.

But then when I use a launcher like lawnchair with widgets I rarely end up actually using them. Wish there was something like widget drawer that was FOSS tbh

For a FOSS alternative: Actual budget isn't dissimilar from what YNAB was years ago when it was an on device budgeting software

Not to mention this is a build server, its uptime isn't actually all that critical, assuming they then mirror the artifacts out from there.

Not to mention it also simplifies the security of controlling signing keys significantly.

It certainly could be something else other than 5g but it's one of the first things that gets thrown around when battery drain is mentioned and the mobile internet was the main user of power on the phone.

You are very fortunate for not hitting any edge cases, but sorry anyone commenting here typically isn't anywhere near to what you could call a "normal user". I ran into quite few minor issues with the enhanced security settings, my partner would never been able to figure out the solution to that issue and I consider them a normal user.

Not to mention the 5g battery drain is a hard show stopper, not just Homeassistant issues. I even experimented with different apps like owntracks but same problem with GPS.

I found a solution to the GPS icon but it requires an ADB command so not a great fix.
