I use that too! Kinda clunky but does the job. I prefer CoMaps - it seems smoother - but it doesn’t have all the actual addresses for the little towns I pass through.

I will do that! I asked this question right before I went on a work trip, which was a dumb move, but I’ll do that. Thanks for the advice!

Rad. I will try this. Thank you!

Linux. Jellyfin was installed via package manager. I’m to dumb for docker. Yes, the drive is mounted.

Please take this question as coming from ignorance rather than a challenge: How would anyone know that you are using Graphene without you telling them? The Pixel line is still used to run stock Android, and the Graphene OS UI is similar enough that a casual inspection shouldn’t raise any flags.

If you’re concerned about scanning your phone, consider a physical boarding pass. When you land in the US, turn off your phone and put it in your backpack/ carry-on or whatever.

The last time I traveled internationally from the US was 2025 so I don’t know how it is now, but how would CBP know what your operating system is?

You can request a physical boarding pass at check in, so TSA and the gate will never even have to see your phone.

This depends on your definition of cheap, but you can get an unlocked pixel 7 on Backmarket for about $200 and slap Graphene on it. Depending the length of your vacation you might be able to reset the phone and return it after you’re back.

Very ironic username.

Regulations state to state are crazy. In my state you can bait but method of take is very restrictive. My kingdom for a spear season.

Not in the great state of Oregon for some reason!

The crime in this case is hitting it with a hammer. Most states explicitly say what methods of take are legal and a hammer ain’t one of em.

Devil Without a Cause was one of my favorite albums when I was in 8th grade. I made my mom listen to it in the car and I still feel kinda bad about it.

It’s Idaho. Only one tooth.

I just finished my second reread of Starship Troopers. I’ve read it in three very different parts of my life and every time I read it, I come away with something new.

I’m currently reading Salt: A World History and listening to The Final Empire.

Neither did I. I looked it up. I thought it was fake. Horrifyingly, it is not.

That is absolutely a conundrum. I’d rather support repairable hardware than even getting a used Pixel. By GOS seems like a great OS. I’m at least a couple months out from making the switch so I have a lot of time to agonize over it at least.

Mostly it’s accusations of vibe coding a supposedly secure ecosystem. The Trump thing wasn’t great, but I think it was largely blown out of proportion.

At the time I was looking for a Google replacement, which Proton kind of is. It’s got mail, calendar, and a drive, all that stuff. Since then, I’ve learned or realized that I would prefer to be invested in individual services like mailbox.org, mullvad, keepass, etc. So that if one service fails, I can just divest myself from that individual service not an entire ecosystem.

Thanks, I really appreciate the encouragement.

Oh man, I didn’t even think about banking and credit card apps.
