It’s real GPS, but within a sandbox without additional permissions. https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play
- Comment on just realized whoogle is dead now 2 weeks ago:
Damn I must’ve overread that. But how isn’t it working? I have a private instance and it has been working without problems apart from connecting to brave, which is rate limiting me immediately. And there’s so many sites to choose as potential providers, losing a few to rate limits honestly doesn’t seem like a big deal.

Graphene doesn’t, they got their own sandboxed google play services compatibility layer. Other OS - no idea tbh.
- Comment on just realized whoogle is dead now 2 weeks ago:
That’s unfortunate, but not surprising. Luckily, the world works without google.
Get SearxNG and you’ll never need another search engine.
- Comment on Keep Android Open (Stop Google from limiting APK file usage) 2 weeks ago:
Shit country tbh. You might be able to get a cheap stock android device for your ID and your “actual” device keeps living the good life on a custom rom. Idk how feasible that is for your lifestyle tho.
- Comment on Keep Android Open (Stop Google from limiting APK file usage) 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s roughly what I thought, in which case switching to graphene (or any other custom rom) would completely “release” you from the proprietary grasp of google and their genius ideas. Because even if they add this 24hr lockdown in the AOSP-Project, graphene could rather easiely revert that change in their fork.
- Comment on Keep Android Open (Stop Google from limiting APK file usage) 2 weeks ago:
I might have misunderstood that all those years, but custom roms like graphene or lineage all use the AOSP source to build “their” stuff on top. Android itself is all the proprietary shit google adds and probably bunch of proprietary firmware drivers, which isn’t relevant in the slightest if you switch to a supported device.
- Comment on Keep Android Open (Stop Google from limiting APK file usage) 2 weeks ago:
If your country forces you on a locked down OS for ID requirements, something is wrong entirely. You should absolutely make some noise against that and urge them to allow custom OS. That’s a political issue, not a technical.
- Comment on Keep Android Open (Stop Google from limiting APK file usage) 2 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure that custom roms will remove that 24hr wait period from their binaries. Android is still open source and removing a check isn’t going to be very hard for them.
The tech ecosystem is as open as you can. Use linux. Use SearxNG. Use graphene or other custom roms. There’s options out there, you just have to start adopting them instead of just complaining online about having no choice.

Afaik, this is not possible yet. There hasn’t been a way to bypass the security measures yet, unlike with the bug in the tegra chip of the switch, or the exploit for the ps5 (or 4?) that got well known recently.
- Comment on [AI] Minimal expenses splitting software 4 weeks ago:
The code has been generated in it’s entirety with an LLM, as I am not a software developer
What’s the point then? There is countless expense management software. Completely stupid tbh.
Stop vibe coding. It makes you stupid and you don’t learn anything with it.

I’d be very surprised if this was actually as good as written in that article.
- Comment on [META] Are paid for closer source advertising appropriate? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think “selfhosting” and “paid for” goes hand in hand because, at the end of the day, the application somehow will still contact some authentication server or some similar bullshit. That’s the contrary of what most people want from selfhosting.
I think this community should stick to actual OSS, free applications, not some semi-corporate bullshit.
- Comment on PRISM - a self-hosted OSINT platform with a real-time dashboard 5 weeks ago:
Sorry I’m so green, gotta start somewhere!
Start with the documentation. Docker has a great introductory section that teaches you the basics.
https://docs.docker.com/get-started/introduction/ (the pushing your image part is not that important, the rest is)
Running a project that does things you don’t know is not the best thing to learn. Learning is done by going through the basics first, not immediately firing docker compose, which is one step above pure docker.

I wonder if there are people that haven’t blocked those tankie instances

No, that’s the objective truth.
- Comment on PewDiePie releases Codex/ClaudeCode/Cursor killer, Odysseous (FOSS) 1 month ago:
I’m using the 35b models.
Quality for qwen is mostly fine - sometimes it does hallucinate some shit while thinking, but it does correct itself almost every time. But the answers itself are, for the most part, precise and useful. Not what you know from the cloud models, obviously, but it’s absolutely fine for everyday use. What is actually annoying is the web search - not sure if that’s a qwen problem or a problem with open webui, but it actually takes a long time to finish the search.
I once had a situation where a model was running into an “infinite loop” while thinking, thinking the same line over and over again. And once, qwen just started outputting chinese halfway through the answer lol.
When it comes to context, I’m gonna be very honest - I don’t know. I have never hit any kind of problems or limits because of that since I’m not using AI over a long term project. I use it for small, concise cases and that’s it.

I use an 6700 XTX and it’s working perfectly fine, depending on the model. Gemma4 takes a long time to generate answers, but the Qwen-Series is quick and starts generating answers in ~10 seconds.

Congrats to all the execs, you’ve completely ruined the tech industry.
No - I think they made it (involuntary) better by forcing people into looking into self hosting and taking control over their own infrastructure.
