Could be useful on a plane: If you have different seats than someone and don’t want to pay for your airline’s ridiculous data prices. Although, most airlines I fly on(american, delta, air canada, united) all have free RCS/Facebook/Whatsapp, but not necessarily Signal, Telegram, Matrix, or your preferred secure service.

VPN or Tailscale

glad to hear, enjoy it!

banking apps partially work

grapheneos usage guide

they’re also working on backporting android 16 to pixels. in phase 2/3 last time i checked, so they are doing decently well. it’s not over, it just adds more work for them that i’m sure they can overcome. security updates already backported :)

get grapheneos!!

switch to grapheneos unless you’re in the eu

a few things i like:

• moments is an interesting concept
• it says you can toggle off gemini ai. this is good
• display goes from 10-120hz for battery
• ultrawide selfie camera
• microsd card slot!
• power button fingerprint scanner, way better than underscreen

tbh 600$ is a series pricing.

average suv should have racks on top to strap it and depending on the model space in the back.

buy used. you aren’t giving them anything more then.

Why not a graphene phone?

I retract my statement, this looks perfectly safe and effective.

Good luck transporting a couch on a motorbike.

android is risking enshittification too if google keeps trying to close down it’s development. nothing is safe unless it is free of greedy corporations

Not mine, my servers 🤣. I hope it doesn’t get hacked

Mobile wikipedia on computers looks nice

Not even that bad, they are learning about electricity in a hands-on manner. USB standards protect against short circuits so this is over exaggerated heavily.

cloudflare would, but you dont even need it if you are comfortable with port forwarding. a reverse proxy just forwards traffic to and from a device through a device. nginx is a popular platform for reverse proxies because it’s easy to set up and configure.

Jellyfin is not designed to be exposed directly. It can be but I wouldn’t recommend it. If you are insistent on doing it, I would absolutely recommend engine X reverse proxying with a rate limit to prevent any brute force attacks as well as hiding your family’s account on the login screen so not just anyone can see them. Also remember you need an SSL certificate which you can either self-sign or get from a free CA like let’s encrypt.

Tail scale works quite well but can be limiting in speed. Your family does not need any technical knowledge. They just sign in on the app and you can add their account to your tail scale domain. Keep in mind you may need to pay if you add more than three, I believe, users.

The third and best option for you in my opinion would be a VPN. It doesn’t suffer from the same speed issues that tailscale does. Technical setup would be a bit more difficult than tail scale, but you can do it on your family’s device once and it should just always work. Youll need port forwarding, but that’s really easy. One thing though, your internet service provider might change your IP address periodically. So you might want a domain name and dynamic DNS, which I would suggest you get from a service called FreeDNS. Like in the name, everything is free, unless you choose to donate , of course. They have it very intuitively laid out where you can use CRON to run a script periodically that just sends a curl ping to their servers so that they know what your new IP address is if it changes. It’s a pretty simple setup.
