A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I think it's ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

That isn't really true especially with Calyx OS

Thise are just different flavors. I need a pixel 8 pro xl equivalent device that runs linux natively. All thw postmarket phones are ancientx

Ditch Google

Step 1: Send them money

Used phones: exist

Users who constantly repost this same comment: "doesn't look like anything to me."

[–] Mouette@jlai.lu 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Used pixel actually limit a lot the choice. I've not dived into de-googled phone yet but from what I understood postmarketOS seems like the used/old phone OS

Writing this from a degoogled Pixel 4a bought second hand for 80 bucks a couple years ago. Great camera, enough storage, fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, fits in hand and pocket. This is near prefect, new phones are scam.

Where did you get it?

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Same reason it continually sucks to get a working Linux build on an apple laptop or desktop.

As bad as Google is, they're lightyears ahead of Apple in terms of protecting their products in a walled garden.

Really? What's your favorite custom ROM for modern iPhones?

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

I've never investigated for iPhones but would be curious

  1. if they exist
  2. how bloody hard they are to get going

I can only speak for laptops/desktops and it being a bitch.

There's a reason I'm very adamant at hating Apple for a multitude of technical reasons. This is but one of them. It's a shame too because their build quality is really S-Tier.

LineageOS works on a bunch of non google phones

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 hours ago

I would get a Nokia flip phone but they cost a bit. Cheaper to get something someone is throwing out
