Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now.

I hope people understand how easy it is to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS

    GrapheneOS, Signal (or, I suppose, Telegram, just something E2E encrypted) and a raspberry pi running PiHole are 3 of the best investments I ever made in my day to day experience.

      I could never get my pihole to remain stable over long periods of time. Multiple reinstalls, two different pis, always issues with the network dropping or requiring both the pi and connected devices to be rebooted. A pain in the neck for a reason I’m not immediately able to figure out.

        Interesting, I basically set it and forget it and the only time I’ve ever had to interact with it again was to tweak the blacklist to block something new or allow something through

        It might be an issue with your particular cocktail of router/modem/isp/what have you - which is way harder to diagnose
