Unfortunately most of the dev community is on Telegram. You can find the link in the Superflasher xda thread.

It's not released as open-weight yet. They plan to do so on the 27/07, so I just hope that is not a tactic to build momentum then change their mind à la Elon for the hype. Nonetheless, performance wise it's amazing, only downside is the size ... 3T. Good luck running that on "consumer hardware".

From someone who has the OP15. It's a great device if you like to tinker and install degoogled version. Even using lineage or other roms with gapps, we have wallet working with full play certification. And the dev community is active around it. So I still recommend it. Just note the camera is acceptable for the tier, just not great. The battery/performance on the other hand is fantastic.

I think russians should not isolated from the "inconvenience" of the war their government started. Yes, it's a hassle, but it's also a pressure point.

While iphone is more privacy friendluly than OEM android, it's much more restricted. You can do amazing things with AOSP Android (compile arm busybox, have a linux toolchain on it, host adblocking), and most importantly totally breakaway from big tech, much more than iphones.

Gcam builds are still a thing. But you need to lurk on forums/telegram to find the right one. It's sad this is a thing nowadays for pixel.

Lots of caveats there. To preface, most active rom development used to take place on forums, mainly XDA. Nowadays it's on telegram, which is gated unfortunately, so lot's of knowledge get lost.

First, you NEED to be able to unlock your bootloader to be able to install custom ROMs. Here is a source

Back to hardware, recent chinese bought Xiaomi are nearly impossible to unlock bootloader without paying a 3rd party. EU/Global ones can be unlocked, but it's a hassle (waiting 30 days + need to have windows). That makes finding device tree for them hard let alone, finding ROMs.

Oneplus unfortunately is getting worse. Op13 onwards has hardware ARB (which Will brick your device). OP15 onwards has a bit complex way to unlock bootloader.

If you buy it from China, it must be ColorOS version otherwise, you won't be able to unlock the bootloader. Even with COS, you need to install an app to get an unlock token from their server to allow you to unlock the bootloader (this for now, takes 24 hrs max, but this might change and could be like Xiaomi). The Global/EU ones, are fine for now.

Remember you need to have the device tree (basically all the recipes for the hardware of the device to get it to work with other ROMs). Google used to publish this for Pixels, that's why it used to be easy to build ROMs for Pixel. This has changed recently.

So it's getting gloomy for Android devices. I just wish Fairphone would actually follow their "eco" mission, and become the new Pixels. On the other hand Jolla seems to be following up with a no compromise "Linux". Time will tell.

Sounds like a first step for a community meeting focused on 1 topic: helping OP set up reverse proxy. Honestly this sounds fun. I hope it went well!

Great project. One risk I see (and faced in the past) is dying sdcards. They hold up much less overtime compared to ssds. Did you face this before? I have gotten a bunch a corruption on my dbs, and even filesystems (ext4). SDcards are vulnerable especially if running 24/7. I wonder if there are better tiers or better solutions.

• Step 1: Train a model on all the stolen content on the internet you can get your hands on
• Step 2: Complain and bitch about all the other LLMs paying you money to use your model to train theirs, and try to prevent it
• Step 3: ??
• Step 4: Profit
