Sounds like Punkt MP02 which has its own Signal client, but Iโ€™ve never seen any real feedback on it

Strong Martin Paar vibes ๐Ÿ˜†

Edit: Sorry for the duplicate comment, my connection was unstable, I think thatโ€™s why

The main difference is that GrapheneOS focuses on hardened security (sandboxed Google Play Services, their own browser Vanadium, etc.) and only runs on Pixels, CalyxOS stays closer to stock AOSP, prioritizes privacy with things like microG as a Google services replacement and supports more devices like the Fairphone and some Motorolas

I'm in the same boat. They suggest Seedvault, which I haven't tried yet. I'll do the factory reset when I don't crucially need my phone, I'll take it as an opportunity to declutter a bit. I don't need much for a functional setup. The painful part will be manually re-entering the config for my WebDAV server. Definitely not ideal, though.

To be fair I've used both and I get the complaints aimed at each philosophy. At some point, I'm just grateful these projects exist at all and for free. Personally I still think microG is nice to have, flaws and all. My Motorola lasts four days on one charge and I have a gut feeling that not having Play Services constantly running is part of why. Either way you're better off than stock

 

CalyxOS, the Android-based, privacy-focused operating system, is back after nearly a year-long pause following the founder and tech leadโ€™s departure.

I also tackled restoring a chair that had a thick layer of paint. The seat was split, so I repaired it with domino joiners. Removing the paint was a real struggle: I started by scraping, then disassembled the parts, which was difficult because the old glue joints wouldnโ€™t come apart cleanly. The turned, symmetrical pieces I was able to refinish on the lathe, but for the rest I spent hours sanding the carved curves. It turned out to be pine underneath, so it wasn't worth the effort.

What is wrong with WireGuard?

I'm extremely satisfied with mailbox.org!

They support all standard email protocols (IMAP, POP3, SMTP) even Sieve for server-side filters, so you can use any mail client you prefer rather than being locked into official apps. They offer CardDAV for contacts and CalDAV for calendars, and their drive can be mounted via WebDAV.

Pricing is reasonable and personal domains are supported.

Isn't Tuta based in Germany anyway?

 

This was my first time turning boxwood. I wanted to upgrade the handle of my espresso machine's portafilter. Iโ€™m really pleased with how smooth it turned out! Should I coat the boxwood, or is it fine as is?

 

I started from oak lumber, which I cut down to size and then planed. I made six 308 mm wide panels.

To create the pentagons with a 190 mm edge length, I used a table saw and made a jig with an offset at 18 degrees.

The blade angle was set it to 31.7 degrees because, according to Wikipedia, the dihedral angle of a dodecahedron is 2arctan(ฯ•), where ฯ• is the golden ratio.

For assembly, I used flat glue and secured the joints with tape to ensure everything held together while the adhesive cured. This method allowed for a clean finish.

Now, I just hope my cat will use it! ๐Ÿ˜‰
