Cant say that I have, but will now!

I used to run LineageOS with a lot of my own tweaks to meet my privacy needs; however I reached a point I decided it didn’t fit my needs for security. So, I went back to GrapheneOS. Which, I am 1uite haply with. Ultimately, I dream of a fully operational Linux phone of sorts; but we aren’t there yet.

I ditched reddit, and most centralized social media. I ditched many big tech services in place of self hosting my own. And even that is mostly locked down. Very little exposed to the web. Ad blocking, as well as my own underlying upstream DNS, with a fallback that isn’t Google or Cloudflare. Services being firewalled off. Reverse proxy setup limiting access via IP:Port while also including SSL certs for local only https.

And this list goes on; it’s a constant journey. But the hard part is to still be social. Hahaha

I get that. We all make choices to decide what we do with our time.

I’m in IT, so I don’t really need to handwrite much. Always a computer at the ready.

I am surprised I can even write with pen and paper anymore.

Jokes aside, no. I don’t really handwrite anything anymore.

I can totally understand where you are coming from.

I do hold the view that if you can read, you too can install GrapheneOS, or try Linux; but that doesn’t make it right for everyone. It’s a self imposed journey. I can’t expect everyone to make the same choices I do.

That is where I will educate people as to why I chose what I chose; however I will not try to force someone down the same road.

So totally understood.

I have taken my own approach; there are things from each layer that I use. Some begrudgingly but others gladly.

The problem I faced when starting this journey is it does cut out a lot of people. And it becomes isolsting. So I did reel back a bit.

What issues do you have?
