You have a very restrictive definition of a smartphone. Sideloading is a natural way for installing apps. In fact it has for a very long time been the only way to install apps on a Windows computer.

Self-hosting for a bit less than 10 years. My main pain is that my setup is now stable and I have nothing left to tinker with.
Look at https://github.com/coturn/coturn
They should support GrapheneOS rather than try and make something “more free” from LineageOS.
You’re not tech savvy… Don’t self-host a password manager!
7·2 months agoI have been self-hosting my mail server for the past 5 or 6 years with success. Recently my ISP decided to close port 25 so I have to use a third party to deliver my outgoing mail.

And so, where is the problem?.. Your message is scanned. If it is illegitimate you can’t send it. What is the problem?
I genuinely don’t understand what you are paying for. I must have missed something.
It is hard to set up and you might need an SMTP relay since most ISPs close port 25. But it is feasible.
I have everything at home, including the mail server. The only third party to my setup is a SMTP relay. All on an Odroid H4+. With a backup server on a Raspberry Pi 4 at my daughter’s.
What I do is a local backup on a different disk with BorgBackup, then a copy of that local backup to a Pi at a friend’s place, with rsync.
Let’s not bury GrapheneOS too fast!
There’s no such thing as total privacy. When you walk in the streets, people can see you and that is no problem. Same goes online. You have to reach YOUR balance between privacy and convenience. I have reached mine with two excellent tools that are GrapheneOS and AdGuardHome. Of course I have also excluded privacy-invading apps such as WhatsApp or Google search. I suppose I evade 80% Big Tech usual tracking and I’m happy that way.
Don’t you want to turn off the whole NAS? Of you don’t have the disks spinning, the NAS is probably useless.
I just like it and I value my privacy. I don’t try to convince anyone. I explain it is both a hobby and a kind of political statement.
