Damn, I didn't even realize that was doable lol. At least the nix part, the rest definitely sounds like stuff I might've accidentally done myself while learning the ropes.

Maybe consider a Hetzner storage box. They support borg, restic, rsync and probably more, there's no ingress or egress fees and you get unlimited traffic. Very nice for off-site backups if, like myself, you're on a limited budget.

Lol my workplace ships Angular in debug mode. Don't worry though, the whole page kills itself if a dubious third-party library detects the console is open. Very secure and not brittle at all! Please send help

Good point, I didn't get into reddit that early but it definitely rings familiar

Oh I don't think it's all techies, but they definitely make up a good chunk of the userbase. Hard agree on it feeling more chill too, I'd been kinda afraid to comment anything on reddit before I left.

I know it's arguably part of why it's intimidating to your average newcomer but I adore that it's mostly nerdy techies lol. I'm so used to dropping something vaguely technical and being met with the online equivalent of blank stares so people being willing and able to engage with that sort of thing is super nice!

I've used both and have been daily driving Voyager for months, I'd say they're both great to the point it's a matter of taste. May as well give it a go if you're curious!

It's an open source Lemmy app for both iOS and Android

It says a lot that when I read that my first thought was "oh so like keeping the self hosted services running and whatnot" for a second 😅

Gotcha, that's totally fair. Thanks for elaborating!

FWIW Proton does offer a mail only plan that's $5/month, 4 if you go for yearly

Last I checked offline hours didn't count either, yeah. I'm not sure if anything is supposed to have changed in the meantime, as it's been a while.

Oof that's scary. Good thing I have a decent enough return window to at least make sure stuff like that isn't the case, at least.

Great points, I'll definitely keep an eye on the 10! Should fit in nicely within the time I'll be due an upgrade, give or take.

Ah, that's a nice way to go about it! I'd have loved to inspect mine beforehand as well but the only real way to grab one around here is importing yourself and paying 60%+ import fees on the damn thing or purchasing a preowned one. My living in a remote area also means there are none close by.

Perhaps consider DivestOS as well if it's supported, seems to be a way tidier package when it comes to security and privacy.

Thanks for the tips, I'm a happy Aegis user already! Thankfully, my main bank explicitly doesn't care about custom roms and I'm thinking I'll just cut ties with the ones who do and let them know that was the reason at this point. Worst case scenario, I still have my locked down old phone.

Honestly, I don't really need my phone for much so as long as the battery hasn't degraded too much I'll be more than happy!

I'm in an unsupported region so I'm afraid I can't help much :(

In my case I just looked around a local eBay-like site and went with a reputable enough seller, fairly standard procedure there.

Right, I'd love to spring up for a 8th gen pixel but I live in an unsupported region and my currency is worth fuck all so I'll have to make do with a secondhand 7 pro lol. Still fantastic longevity all things considered.
