If your account holds your contacts, calendar, passwords, files, and email, you're SOL if it gets disabled.

Diversify and keep offline backups. If it’s someone else’s computer, it’s not yours.

Most people think they need to prepare for a sophisticated software attack, but your biggest risk is your habits. Exploiting people is often the easiest way in.

Anyone can fall for phishing, it’s happened to me.

We've received the Pixel 10 we ordered and have confirmed it supports unlocking, flashing another verified boot key and locking again.

Our Pixel 10 support will likely only be possible to complete after we finish porting to Android 16 QPR1 which is being released in September.

3 things I learned migrating from Docker Swarm to K3s:
- Complex setup, but easier management
- Infrastructure as Code. Use Ansible.
- Better config and secrets management.

Bonus
- The larger the community, the easier troubleshooting is.

Making an image of the drive, gotta keep it cool. The A+ course didn't have this in it years ago, but maybe they suggest it now.

We're going to add a secure way of working around this without breaking the app source security model. We'll be adding support for having the OS automatically verify the Play Store signing metadata and then inform Play services those apps were installed from the Play Store.

Reminder to go through the apps on your phone & computer.

Don’t use it? Delete it.
Installed it and forgot (that’s me)? Delete it.
Too distracting? Delete it.

Curious? I made a page with the apps I use — sideofburritos.com/docs/setup-g...

Okay Bluesky Tech, let's see if you can do this before X.

Can you help either personally or connect parties who can with us?

Reach out please or repost and get the word out, it all helps.

Let's make it a Bluesky success story!
We need an Android OEM or someone working at one to provide us with early access to the Android 16 sources in order to have a smooth port this year. We need this before June. We requested it to help with this very difficult situation and still need it.

One of our two senior developers has been forcibly detained and conscripted to participate in a war. When they first went missing, we revoked their repository access as a precaution. We soon learned their disappearance was completely unrelated to GrapheneOS. Our priority has been keeping them safe.

I wanted to create a VLAN to keep my Mastodon server separate from my LAN. Two days later, I now have 8 VLANs. I think I have a problem.

For the past 10+ years I've been using ZFS (FreeNAS/TrueNAS). For some reason, I only recently started using snapshots…THEY ARE AMAZING. So this is your reminder that if you're using ZFS, use snapshots.

Android has always taken the approach of it being developed in private and then having the full sources and commit history published for each stable release. This approach used to be the norm for open source software many years ago, but now most projects do a lot of their development in the open.

Our latest 2025032500 release greatly improved our built-in network-based location. It's usually better than Google's network-based location in urban areas where Apple has competitive data. Unlike Google's service, position estimation is done locally by fetching location data for nearby networks.
