I think it was around that time when I switched to Gentoo Linux

Truly the pinnacle of my existence, and as it seems, it was a wise choice

Lemme sum that up for you:

~~Latest~~ Windows ~~11 preview update~~ is causing widespread system crashes and failures

I self host several things including ntfy, so is there any way to use that for notifications?

Yes, @[email protected] made a post about this in [email protected]: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/23207036

This requires a custom server-side application to be running though. You can upvote this feature request for Proton to finally implement native UnifiedPush support: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail/suggestions/47423924-support-unifiedpush-for-android-notifications

Wait Elon Musk is using the soviet strategy

I thought he disliked the "woke communists"

it originally sounded like I might be able to help with some scripts

Thanks man, I still appreciate it a lot

I feel like I just need to clarify some things. In my initial comment, I was bashing Microsoft, not because it's their fault that my company has such a messy environment and workflows, but because the way Windows Server works is just stupid. Since there's no proper shell (PowerShell is absolute garbage), everyone on the Windows team uses fucking RDP to log in to the server... Most of the stuff can't be reasonably done through a CLI, and requires using the stupid GUI wizards. Configurations can't be replicated as easily, since I can't just use scp to copy a config file, I actually need to go through the stupid GUI wizard again. Active Directory is a huge mess that's been held together by hopes and prayers over the past few decades, and I hope it dies sooner rather than later. Also fuck my company's stupid decisions from 20 years ago... Integrating some stupid Windows/Microsoft specific stuff into all of our products was not the best idea, and they realized this a few years ago. Now we have a huge amount of technical debt though, and it will take decades to get everything ported over.

Err… That component appears to be built from source per Calyx’s Gradle rules? The source is pulled from here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/refs/heads/main/telephony/java/android/telephony/euicc

That's apparently not the entire thing though. I haven't used CalyxOS in a long time, could go to the settings menu for adding a new eSIM and take a screenshot of it?

I’m sorry you’re unhappy that I’m happy.

Oh I'm absolutely not. I'm glad you found an OS you like, I just pointed out that GrapheneOS is far superior in terms of privacy and security, and therefore probably the better choice, but you are obviously free to use whatever suits your needs and makes you happy. And it's better than the stock OS I guess.

My actual security relevant machinations happen on my much better protected laptop.

How do you protect a laptop to be more secure than a modern mobile device? Desktop operating systems are inherently less secure, since they lack proper application sandboxing, they often don't even have mandatory access control mechanisms (such as SELinux or AppArmor) in place and don't have a good way of verifying the boot image. Secure Boot is broken and essentially useless, and can't be compared to Android Verified Boot whatsoever. TPMs aren't secure either, and can't even remotely be compared with proper secure elements such as the Google Titan M2 or Apple's Secure Enclave. Do you use QubesOS, or how did you achieve better protection on your laptop compared to your smartphone?

May I ask about the reason behind this?

Because I want a secure phone with relatively good specs, relatively good design, battery life and camera quality. And because it is one of the very few devices with a user-unlockable and re-lockable bootloader.

Of course it's a Republican senator

Oppo, Huawei, Xiaomi, all do not work on USA cell networks

Wait what? Is that actually true? What if you are a foreigner visiting the US and bring your e.g. Oppo phone with you? You can't use it? Even with a foreign SIM?
