  • No power as in from the grid? Fire up my house generator so we can at the very least have water (from a well), heat (in winter), and preserve the goods in the refrigerator (was once worth a fortune!). Its powerful enough to do everything else though, as if we were on-grid…

    A day without power? Not in my house for the necessities stated above. While tent camping, sure, but I mean I still bring my phone and a battery pack to charge it + lights and stuff… so hmm



  • Back when rooting was all the rage I tinkered with hosting various services. It just didn’t make much sense for such an underpowered device, amongst other reasons (battery swelling).

    I did use an old phone to “host” a game automation. One of those “idle clicker” / RPG games since I’m so lazy. After about 2 months the battery swelled and popped the back cover off. That was the end to that idea…











  • Signal allows just 1 device at a time, and you need to register by phone number. Unless you use their tablet mode which stores data on server… Maybe check out other projects without such requirement?

    Even with rooting (to the dismay of GrapheneOS PR team, so sad), Signal will not backup or restore properly since it uses Strongbox, so you cannot clone it amongst profiles or users. Thank the Titan chip for that. Legit a good thing, except it your case.

    Just don’t use Signal.
