They’ve been a lot closer to stock android compared to the days of touchwiz since about the S10. I bought unlocked Note10 and S20s years ago and was a great experience, no bloat with the unlocked devices direct from Samsung.

How long have you had the RAZR+? Have there been routine OS updates? I kinda wanna get either a 2025 or 2026 ultra in march/April and not sure the device will last or be supported for 2+ years

I commented this to a user 8months ago but here’s a sanitized config I have working for OIDC

Yes, I haven’t migrated mine yet but I will be here in a month or two but you just need a ZigBee antenna like this that your HA install can use. I bought the SkyConnect a few months ago on sale and will be running with that instead. I’ve seen threads online with scripts/configs online to mirror the Hue scenes from the Hue app.

I’m very curious as well, if the bootloader can unlock I may go back to OnePlus.

It’s not only a carrier issue but it is an issue only with Samsung’s bought through carriers. Samsung obviously allows that or subsidizes them somehow. AFAIK with Samsung and carrier branded devices they have their own update schedules as well that is separate than just updates from Samsung.

Did you get the phone from a carrier? I’ve had 2 Samsung’s both bought unlocked from samsung and those come with no bloatware and for years I never had anything like that happen. My wife has an S23 from TMobile and has lots of unremovable apps and bloat.

I’m typing this from a Nothing Phone 2 I got about a year and a half go and I love it. Still gets monthly updates, stills runs fast and is updated to A15. Battery is starting to slip but as long as I’m around 40-50% charge before a trio or going out that’s more than enough. Really like the nothingOS customizability, reminds me of the OG oneplus phones but not what they are currently.

Asus would be nice, I’ve liked most of the zenphones but either didn’t support my carrier/bands or something like that or they stopped allowing bootloader unlocking which is why I didn’t think they’d be on the list but this would be a great way to jump back in as an option for enthusiasts.

Also would love for it to be RAZR, I really want one but also want GrapheneOS but hesitant to buy a pixel.

Not sure if you already knew but Bitwarden does have a self hosted option, the docker-compose stack runs great and they have been working on a singular image that just needs a DB. It all runs great depending on what you need and supports the actual bitwarden team.

For me it’s Bitwarden, hosting their stack in 2018 right after getting my first job launched me into everything else.

Been using this for a handful of months and the large updates in the last 2 months have been great. My phone running antennapod is my main client and use pinepods for sync and backup and some light listening on non mobile clients a couple times a week.

Agreed I switched about a year ago when nova first got purchased and never looked back!

Putting drives to sleep reduces their lifespan? I thought it was some calculus involved where if they were offline for long enough to offset the cost of the spinup during a time period it was fine. Either way I have an unraid server with 6 disks being put to sleep after 4 hours inactivity and been running that for years. Have had to replace 2 pre owned drives and 1 new WD red that was under warranty in several years.

Still running and loving my nothing phone 2 but not going to upgrade to this. they missed the feature set and price point I was looking for. Probably going to go pixel and GrapheneOS next

On my nothing phone I only have disable and remove background battery permission. No option about history or permissions.

Guess you should stop breaking into peoples icloud accounts

On my server I run a single postgres container and create DBs and users for different apps within. Super resource light and I have 7 apps pointed at a single container. Much easier to manage backups as well when there are several apps in the single DB.

Stood this up two weeks ago and been working great!

My library is almost cracking 18TB. Backing up all documents, pictures, videos and profile/settings dumps for apps and laptops. Also have plenty of moving Linux ISOs, 1359 longer isos and 269 smaller iso series.
