LineageOS for microG is a custom build which already includes the patch to enable signature spoofing. This still means that microG is running with root privileges. It btw also includes the F-Droid privileged extension, which is yet another app running with elevated privileges and adding unnecessary attack surface. Installing microG is the quick and easy workaround to get Google Play services, but it’s more like a dirty hack that reduces security. GrapheneOS is currently the only ROM that properly integrates the official Google Play Services using the Android app sandbox. This also increases app compatibility, and it’s the reason why most banking apps work without any issues on GrapheneOS, while they are broken on Lineage, Calyx and other ROMs that use microG.

That’s pretty sad to see, Techlore is one of the main ways how I got into digital privacy and security, but ever since they removed GrapheneOS from the mobile OS recommendations section on their resources page, I don’t feel like it’s a trustworthy source anymore. Removing the most private and secure mobile OS from your OS recommendations, while claiming to give people privacy and security-focused recommendations is pretty hypocritical. Instead they recommend CalyxOS which rolls back default AOSP security features, LineageOS which doesn’t even work with a locked bootloader and microG which requires root access. It just feels like a bad joke.

I use NetBird to access it from anywhere, and to share my Jellyfin server with my friends and family
Upload to Odysee and use the YouTube Sync feature.

Sorry, but this is really useless. I support the cause, but there is absolutely no need for this software. I think this community is meant for software that actually has a use.

Won’t do it either

Sucks for Americans that Biden got rid of the option
That really sucks
Yeah I know, change.org isn’t great but what other options do we have?
Both are great. Unraid makes things really easy with their Community Apps feature. On the technical side, I prefer TrueNAS Scale because it’s based on Debian, whereas Unraid is based on Slackware Linux. TrueNAS Scale is fully FOSS, whereas big parts of Unraid are proprietary. But there are more guides and tutorials for Unraid, as it seems to be the more popular option. If you’re going to install Unraid, definitely check out Spaceinvader One on YouTube, he’s got some awesome videos on the topic.

It’s really cool. I learned about it from the megathread: https://rentry.co/megathread-books#annas-archive
No one forces you to use it
