Rename the ISOs to BMP images and say they’re art instead.

It’s the other way around. Google specifically blocks Goodlgle Pay being used on GrapheneOS. I believe there’s another contactless payment app called Curve or something that works on GrapheneOS. Requires Google Play Services installed though.

I still haven’t gotten to give it a full proper go. But Toolbx is designed to assist with development on immutable OSs. Let’s you do regular package installs for all the various Dev tools into a container. Can either install your IDE into the container and run it like a regular app, or use an IDE with built-in Dev Container support.

I did the exact same thing. Wouldn’t like to see it adopted due to accessibility issues. But its a neat trick.

Can you point to any vulnerabilities in its source code as evidence for this?

I’m using Bank Australia with GrapheneOS and it works well. Does the Comm Banks builtin tap and pay work on GrapheneOS at all? Assuming they still have their own version, I haven’t been with them in a while.

That’s pretty much exactly it. Not much benefit for only one application. But I have multiple apps that all recieves notifications via UnifiedPush. My UnifiedPush client (ntfy) stays running in the background, the rest of the apps can go to sleep and get woken up if something haopens.

Is that with using UnifiedPush or the WebSocket notification method?

Signal uses Play Services for its push notifications. It does have a fallback method which maintains a connection to their servers to get message notifications. It requires changing some battery optimisation settings which might have some minor battery impacts.

Personally I’m using Molly which implements UnifiedPush for Push Notifications without Molly/Signal needing to run in the background constantly. Also swaps a few other Google dependencies (like location pins) with open source alternatives.

Having the second profile with Google Services is a good idea though. That was what I used to do before I shed my last few Google dependencies.

You can install pretty much any user agent switcher extension on Firefox for Android.

I downloaded FossWallet off F-Droid last week for an annual pass I bought. It only supports Apple Passkey files, but if they offer Google Wallet they’ll usually offer that too.

Well, still plenty of dogdy landlords who take advantage of people who don’t know about that requirement and either take it for themselves or push renters towards “resolving disputes between themselves” and not involving the bond authority at end of lease time.

It’s a requirement in Australia for it to be paid to the government bond agency. Typical method of paying it is a cheque payable only to the bond authority. Once you hand back the keys at the end of the lease you can apply directly to the bond agency for it to be refunded to you and the landlord needs to formally object to claim any of the bond.

How are you checking the size? Some tools will split file size based on the number of hard links. So a 10GB file may show as 5GB in folder A and the other 5GB in folder B.

Also, if you’re using Docker. Its crucial that your downloads and media directories are listed as a single volume. If it’s two volumes, it’ll copy rather than hard link.

Yes, they don’t work without Google Play Services. Google didn’t implement passkeys in Android, only their own services.

I’ve been using it for several months mostly due to it’s UnifiedPush notifications support and been really happy with it.

Yeah, in self hosting MollySocket and my own Ntfy server. I’m in the process of moving it all to my NAS so I don’t have to leave my computer on all the time.

I really wish Signal would support it natively.

I’m using Molly with UnifiedPush for notifications and it works quite well.

Another recommendation for Proton Mail. As others have said I’d recommend getting your own domain for email so you can always migrate providers without having to change your email address.

The UnifiedPush server is intended to be a single source your phone can keep a persistent connection open to, rather than needing a connection per service/app (this is how Google’s Firebase notifications work too).

As Signal doesn’t support UnifiedPush, MollySocket keeps a permanent connection open to Signal’s servers to listen for new activity and forward them to your UnifiedPush server. This saves your phone keeping a permanent connection open to Signal’s servers and draining your mobile battery more.
