In the old days hamachi used to be all the rage to VLAN with your friends with pirated copies of games. Wonder how hamachi is doing nowadays.

Not just paywall their porn, also force linking:

Cryptomator is free and about as easy as encryption comes.

I appreciate the effort you took to type the reply out. Thank you, this will help me a ton.

I have more questions but I don't want to waste your time by sending you questions that came out stream of consciousness style.

If you would be willing to share, I'd like to know what kind of disability you have. DMs are fine, and even more it's 100% alright if you don't want to share at all.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I am planning to test drive GrapheneOS. The things making me doubt the switch is basically my payment applications (I do nearly all my payments via Gpay or similar apps), my camera, and compatibility with my fitness app (Garmin Connect). Other than that I don't really have any worries. I suck at changing my routines so the change-over period might be painful but I'm thinking of carrying around two phones during it to reduce the effects, though I don't know if that is good or bad for quicker transitioning.

Can you use google camera when you're running graphene? How? I love the image quality on the pixel but dislike google way too much to use a google phone.

Sure wish they mentioned it BEFORE signup.

Have you noticed a difference in camera quality between the pixel running the OS it ships out in and when running Graphene OS?

 

Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no "Editor's Picks" on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here.

What apps do you recommend I install first to remove my dependence on closed ecosystems?

What is my vulnerability surface ie, which sort of apps should I watch out for?

Are there any bad faith companies in the open source sphere?
