Yes. I currently have /e/os on it. I dunno how long devices are kept up to date with that. But if any of the OSes are no longer maintained you can hopefully find one that is. So it's possible it could last even longer than the official Fairphone android version.

I could however see that tech may change enough that a ~10 year old phone may need replacement regardless if you can buy replacement parts.

    I feel like this phone should be good for most users. Most people don't need to take super high quality photos or play demanding games on their phones.

    Sure it costs a bit more per performance, but I think it is gonna be worth the price in the long run.

    I have a FP4 that I plan to have until end of software support. I will likely have to get a new battery in the future, but that's a breeze since it takes a minute to change and it is affordable, especially compared to many phones that are basically dead once the battery is bad.

    Cheapest I could find in Sweden. Around 10€. I think it is 3GB data and unlimited calls and texts. Whatever data I don't use stacks up for a year or somesuch. I have WiFi at home and the office so I don't really need much data. I would go for a cheaper plan if it existed.

    Sencha Fukujyu. Loose leaf green tea with no added stuff. 70 degrees. Reuse leafs throughout the day. Brewed in a kettle that allows proper expansion of leafs.

    While not really a budget tool per say, I'd recommend checking out Beancount if you are looking for a power tool and you are comfortable with a bit of Python. The only really manual steps I have in my setup is downloading transactions from my banks and categorizing any transactions that the machine learning plugin fails to categorize.

    I feel like there is going to be a disproportionate amount of people not using a standard qwerty keyboard that replies to this :)

    I use qwerty on a standard 100% and another split 60%. I am trying to switch to ortholinear split Dvorak, but haven't been able to design a keyboard I am comfortable switching to full time. I would also need two of them, one for home, one for work.

    I had an issue where one keyboard (worked with another one) worked in bootloader, but not when entering the encryption password after that. I believe I solved that by moving keyboard earlier in the module list in mkinitcpio.conf. Maybe something similar would solve your issue?

    I have basically the same thoughts as you. The reasons I can think of is:

    • Convenience (but SL is pretty convenient)
    • Less of a lock-in to one vendor.
    • Avoiding filters on sites not allowing aliasing domains (often incorrectly under the label "temporary email addresses")

    I have had basically no issues with my setup: Edgerouter 4 (overkill, had a lower end Edgerouter earlier with no issues except the power adapter died, other hardware was fine). Some pretty basic unifi AP. As well as some cheap dumb gigabit switches. Can basically fire and forget them. Relatively easy to do most things I need on it. Never needed a reboot outside of upgrades. No stability issues, unlike basically all other home grade all in one stuff I have experienced in the past.
