I have a long list and goal of going as much FOSS as possible.
First, get a Pixel phone. Then run Graphene OS. Then use Proton VPN, drive and email with forwarding from gmail.
Then use Kiwi browser with Orbot VPN.
Then Amethyst for Nostr.
Then Obtanium for App downloads or Github APKs.
What am I missing?
Google: wants to take away the zap button
Kid named fdroid:
Is this the same as umbrel and start9? I'm not yet educated on what exactly I'll be hosting. Haha.
But I want to run a Pi BTC node.
Thank you!
How does one install Obtainium?
😬
Github apk as far as I remember installing it
For classic paperwork, ink to paper is required.

Super easy to get started. Either fully self hosted or rent a vps with Ubuntu server and it shouldn't be many more steps than
```
sudo snap install nextcloud
```
On desktop its a great replacement for Dropbox and office suite with many more addons
But I don't see a APK to download. Just a bunch of files.
Pretty straightforward tutorial
Go self-sovereign computing,
@Start9 . Why use proton drive when you can host your own data securely with nextcloud 😎
Found it. Thank you.
Snap 😭
Secure your home router or all that is useless
Ink to paper to paper than.
Simple enough to grasp the concept of.
Or what say you, buddy?
@jack (n/acc)

Guaranteed unknown is difficult to second.
🎚️
I'd have said it doesn't, you can link payment details to it, it can call other apps that do perform payments, but it doesn't itself handle payments.
Tor? Or is there different firewalls?
Thanks, appologies. Many steps.
No. Just change the admin and WiFi password. Use the EFF word list. Then create a guest network for visitors and home devices.
Don’t be the guy with the device default password.
A new one for the unseen and unrealized costs of the Android Play Store soon?
View quoted note →I've been updating through Obtainium since I discovered the app.
Would it be possible to keep the Lightning functions on some kind of add-on? That could be installed from the app itself or sumthin'
i don't regret de-googling my life one bit.
GrapheneOS with f-droid & Obtainium takes care of all the apps i need.
Always. Done & done! Thanks for showing me EFF. I like it 🔥
Is the nextcloud data encrypted? I don’t know why I remember thinking it isn’t from research I did a few years ago
which version still works the old way?
Agreed, there's simply nothing to regret. The reality of the modern tech ecosystem is that much of the "conveniences" we're told we need simply aren't convenient. Having a phone that tracks me everywhere I go and listens to everything I say doesn't help me one bit.
#FuckGoogle btw.
Nothing changed yet. All versions are the same.
#livefreeordiegoogled
I get it, but for server stuff, and especially setting up nextcloud its really nice
これAmethystがGoogleに目をつけられたってこと？
View quoted note →I was seated at a park bench with a neighbor a few days ago. We were having a conversation. His phone (google assistant) unintentionally kept interrupting asking him to repeat his prompts.
It took me about a minute to close out the Convo and walk away.
Added to the list of another thing I need to do.
Would not be surprised to see apple & google block nostr and Bitcoin apps. They want walled garden slave apps not freedom tech
View quoted note →What is Obtainium?
How do you install it? I can't find the download
i’ve been looking into some of the 5th circuit court cases against big tech, and what is coming out is that the gov has been threatening companies with 230 removal i unless they cooperate with mass censorship. except for google. they’ve been on board from jump. they have been tied to the National Security State from early on.
Fuckers
Yes, this is insane. They put their "assistants" on the table during discussion.
How is it even acceptable from etiquette perspective? They don't ask, can I record our conversation?
I'm going to put audio recorder on the table next to their assistants. Waiting for their reactions.
ProtonVPN😃
Maybe you should install Google apps😃 sanboxed😂
Sandboxed
Don't use routers from ISP
I've had doubts about Proton, especially how FOSS it is.
You're saying it's no good because they built I access to pull some of my data?
This is bad.
Another thing on my list now. Hah!
They (Proton) work for governments: CH, EU.
They've been working ca. 8 years to remove Google dependencies from thier source (Protonmail).
They've been working ca. 8 years to implement proxy option in Android app.
Do you think that they care about your security?
They collect tone of data and don't even tell how long they keep it (support).
In the meantime they introduce new products to bring you to their garden e.g. calendar, VPN, pass etc.
Evaluate it on your own.
Right. True that. At least Google isn't pretending.
K.
So what is a good alternative for Google products (drive, sheets, Word, email etc...)
Proton seemed more ideal.
Also. This seems like a burner account. Who *are* you. Hahaha.
"Right. True that. At least Google isn't pretending."
Exactly!
"So what is a good alternative for Google products (drive, sheets, Word, email etc...)"
Diversification - always. Don't put all eggs in one basket.
Consider selfhosting - it's not a rocket science.

How authoritarian of them..
It's coming.
Repeat: Install Obtainium.
Now.
View quoted note →Amo #nostr 💜
But the Google release specific functionality will no longer be? (alerts, translations, ?)
It's inevitable.
I bet, not long from now, every app finds a way to have zap feature, #nostr or not.
#Zaps are forward player in #bitcoin team.
What is obtainium?
Is Amethyst from Google? Is there no spying there?
Bound to happen eventually...
Obtainium 💯
View quoted note →Lost the #Obtainium thing, and now too afraid to ask.. 😅
View quoted note →What I get from this is that they don't care as amethyst isn't offering "financial features" theres just a button to open a users 3rd party app of choice to send value, not amethyst itself as its just displaying the transaction and not making it happen itself?
That's not true! Amethyst stole all my money and a lot of my time!
That's our position. We will see if they bite it or not.
That’s not technically a “financial feature”, all good
Oh shit here we go again... 🚶♂️
No, but we are in the Play Store. So, they need to approve us over there.
🫶🫂🫶
Biased but star9 is the way to go. And they just came out with a new server running intel that’s much more powerful than a Pi for the same price basically
🤞
I need to do this next! Start9 is on my short list for 2024
Buckle up buttercups. F-driod or obtainium for the win.
Its better than Aurora store, it pulls open source releases directly from the authors
Run pfsense!
define "financial"... =fiat?
It's good but may require Regex to get it working with every repo you want.
You've given yourself 3 more days
I got this to fill out for snort too
Here here, agreed !
Someone should do a Nostr store, and available on Google store. Aurora store is there so..
Holy shit
Side loading apks FTW
financial features?
It's really hard to understand the wording.
View quoted note →Browsers like Aloha or Brave offer a whole shirtcoin wallet integrated into their software.
Recently tried Opera Mini and it has an option of wallet too. You just have to tap the 'Add' button.
In worst case scenario, adding a button to allow zaps might be a solution to go around it.
Obtanium is a great way to manage apps directly from GitHub and other FOSS sources, allowing you to install and update apps directly from developers.
View quoted note →This is a button to initiate a wallet handshake. So realistically speaking there is no financial features.
As I understand amethyst does not hold any user funds at any point. Definitely no financial features.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
install Obtanium on a Pixel running GrapheneOS
View quoted note →✅️🤙 this is rad. I'm getting there... lots of switches to make. Thanks for link. I'd zap you if your wallet was linked.
Install Obtainium.
