I still browse through the political communities occasionally but I hate how their posts absolutely dominate the main page by default.

Now you can thank yourself for making that good decision!

“Start praying for the souls of the poor Linux atheists and their leader Mr.Torvalds”

Yeah don’t worry, you’ll mostly be copying and pasting stuff from the Internet. Not much mental exercise, just follow instructions.

The Arch Wiki is an amazing resource, It contains tons of useful info that isn’t specific to only ArchLinux.

Here’s an excellent tutorial for that: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ&t=0

Wdym by dead on performance? works fine for me.

And yeah, I feel like I’m nailing my feet just to avoid walking into a trap here lol. I should relax, I’ve minimized a LOT of data collection already.

Any good browser suggestion you have?

I am aware of that feature, but I can’t do the same for a few essential system apps that constantly ping chinese IPs for whatever reason.

As for my browser, I mostly use Tor browser for browsing/reading and Mull for downloading and streaming.

Am I being too paranoid? lmao

Yup, you are right. Mobile banking seems to be really difficult on custom ROMs and overall it just brings too many issues. I will keep using the stock ROM for now (HyperOS). I have google play services disabled, all Gapps and Xiaomi bloatware apps deleted. I feel like that’s good enough. RethinkDNS to block internet connection from apps that don’t need it. I shouldn’t let “perfect” get in the way of good.

Do you have any other suggestions to make my phone a bit less of a data mine?

Thanks a bunch!

I hope they do the same for my phone. Any way I can check if it’s being maintained? Thanks.

Do the unofficial builds get regular security updates, though? Even if they do, I don’t think it’s the best idea to rely on two independent developers at the same time, I’d rather not have multiple points of faliure.

Oh don’t worry about it, mistakes happen.

Paranoid Android seems to be working on Android 14 right now and they are regularly publishing updates on their discord/telegram groups. They seem like a pretty active team, I’ll just go ahead and flash the ROM I guess.

I’ve already seen this page before.

The title says [UNOFFICIAL] and the rom isn’t available in the actual LineageOS official website. Is this version really safe?

Its not available for my device (Redmi Note 11)

I use AnySoftKeyboard from F-Droid

Wow that’s strange. It always allowed me to continue as a guest without signing up most of the time before. I wonder what triggers it.

Are you using a VPN or private DNS? It worked after I disabled by VPN connection. It worked once on chrome too(with VPN), just once though.

Could it be because of my VPN?

Edit: Works in a different browser, Sorry for wasting your time.
