Usually found Elsewhere, so this should be the perfect place for me. Longer thoughts at Acid Test (http://www.molvray.com/acidtest/) and Reimagining Democracy (http://www.molvray.com/govforum), (1st ed. 2010).

@jeffreyosborne @joanisc The pixels don’t get some kind of security updates after about 4(? 5?) years. The advice is not to get one that’s past end-of-life, which only leaves pricey-ish ones. US$250 is pricey in my books.

Be all that as it may, highly recommend getting one (I have a 6a), and putting GrapheneOS on it and sitting back while everything works. (Except Merlin 🙁 ) I realize that’s not pure linux, but to me it’s outweighed by not having to fiddle around getting functionality.

@JoeBidet @urheber I’m one of the “tried Pinephone” people. Not nearly adept enough to do all the CLI work you did. I can edit config files if someone tells me what to type in 😆.

I use a laptop for the fun stuff. A phone to me is for texts and calls. I gave up on the Pinephone because of problems with that. Big one: not waking from sleep to ring. I get about 2 calls a month, but they’re the sort I can’t miss. After about the 3rd miss, I had to give up. Yes, I’d try again after updates 😖

@JoeBidet I settled on mobian. I think I tried pmOS (this was back in '21? '20??) and a couple of thers I don’t remember. I do remember ssh-ing for something else, never edited crontab though. Sounds interesting! I’ll have a look at that. Still have the phone. Be great if I could make it useful 😆
