1. No better time than the present

Look, I’m already trying (and kinda succedding) to avoid doing some hard tasks I have to do, don’t push me further into the rabbit hole.😆

Ugh, now I’m considering doing it in 2 weeks, what have you donee

It is possible though to get newer versions using flathub or somethibg, right? (I know very little about linux, but I’m thinking of switching from win10 to debian next year.)

Lets gooooo🔥

(It has happened in the past, it will probably happen again in a few months, but still, its a win!)

For some reason, this comment worked, I donated for the first time ever ~5€ to the internet archive (probaly first time donating anything online). Internet archive is probably one of the most important things on the internet.

Yes! I had one, from 2016 till 2020. Ulefone vienna (not a rugged phone).

If you like modding like me, then it’s probably not a good idea, as they usually have little community support and the mediatek chipset contributes to this even more.

Back then, I think it did probably had some kind of a malware, but with root I removed it (I could also do it with adb commands if I knew back then).

If you want a hardened phone and for some reason you cant find a proper case to protect your device, then such phones may be suitable, otherwise I’d look somewhere else.

I just realized that this instance doesnt show downvotes seperately… Probably not the best idea to have privacy guides on an instance where you cant easily see if something may be wrong…

I have about 25gb free out of the 1tb my laptop has, sooo not a good idea, plus it adds complexity. Well, I’ll just improve my scripts and try to keep things tidied up so that it becomes easier. (Lol, now I’m post factory reset and I’ve started importing stuff back to the phone. Till tommorow noon everything may be set up.) Tnx for your interest!

As a side note, I’ve realized that transfering files from the phone to the laptop (instead straight to the external hard drive) makes the process a lot faster, compared to moving them to the drive directly, but still, I prefer the wireless transfer as I can sync folders easier and it’s faster.

I’m transfering data from my phone to an extrernal hard drive which I connect to my laptop. To do the syncing a bit more automated, I’ve written some WinSCP scripts. I create a local hostpot with my phone, I connect my pc to it and then I move files. (My phone has a dual wifi antenna which allows to have both the hotspot on and connect to my wifi, so I can post this comment without using data.)

The data I transfer are ~all sorts of types; Media files (either from my camera folder or various other folders), text or similar files (I also keep logs of the files on my device to help me restore stuff), encrypted files, backups of apps+data/phone settings/contacts/sms/calls etc. At the moment of writing this I’m transfering about 30-40gb to my pc as I slowly prepare myself for the factory reset.

My workflow is far from automated, but I’ve made a lot of progress since last year with the help of the scripts. It’s sad though, because backing up and restoring everything now takes about 9hours, while with an sd card I could reduce it to something like half an hour… My next phone will probably be fairphone 6 or 7 in 2028 (now I have a xiaomi mi 10 running custom roms) if it has an sd card slot.

I have usb 2.0 though, so it’s gonna be slow ~no matter what😭. I get ~15MB/s on average and it can reach ~40MB/s with wifi hotspot, while usb goes at about ~6MB/s on average and can reach about 30MB/s.

The issue are the small files. Wifi handles them much quicker. Especially listing folders with thousands of files. Opening my camera directory (~8.500 files) with wifi takes about 5seconds, while with usb it takes about ~1-2minutes…

About nas, I would too like to have one and automatically backup everything there. I might build one some time.

Simple, include sd cards on phones and use usb 3.0 or higher…

(I say that as I am about to wipe my device with ~200gb data and then import them back again through wifi hotspot because wired transfer is slower than wireless and it doesnt have an sd card slot…)

I dont like autocorrect both for privacy reasons (though there might be open source ones) and for accuracy reasons. I dont want something else to write for me what it thinks I want to say. (Hence I’m using a customized keyboard in florisboard beta which looks almost the same as gboard.😌)

Just downloaded it yesterday, along with the launcher!

Bit of a shame that it doesn’t support older saves…

it could have been a switch in the developer settings or anything like that

This could be applied on so many new “features” google introduces in every version and would really help a lot… But they have other motives.

I have linux mint on a random hdd, but I almost never use it. I have to tinker a lot with it. Some day…😅

It might be for me. Or at least sometime. When win10 support will be dropped or whatever I might eventually make Linux my main OS. ~Just a matter of time😅

[Edit: indeed, its actually good that it’s 2gb]

2gb plugin??!

Btw, does it work with tenacity?

Ok thats a very nice phone. If it had a snapdragon cpu it could actually be very good I think.

I think its more like writing is language, but language isn’t necessarily writing.

Ayy, hello there Kayn (Im just a random guy from filen discord).

Is your nasal septum ok? Maybe it could be deviated (almost all are, but at different degrees) and creates the sound you hear.
