Recently finished listening to this interview. Fantastic job @nprofile…5ww2 ! Whether you've used GrapheneOS for years or are thinking about trying it, it's a must-watch/listen.

@nprofile…alsa Agreed! I stuck to the stock one for years, but decided to give this one a try.
I don't allow the launcher to lock the screen, I just use the power button. I personally don't feel comfortable giving an app that level of access. It's likely that the app isn't built to accommodate the 2-factor fingerprint, so it defaults to the passphrase.

@nprofile…cjvc @nprofile…x3lk You're welcome! It takes a little getting used to, but I love that everything is stored as markdown files in folders. For anything I self-host, I've been trying to move to things that have simple file/infrastructure setups. SQLite over Postgres, simple files over convoluted storage methods etc. Makes it more portable and easier to fix if there's a failure.

@nprofile…x3lk Someone recently mentioned this one to me - https://github.com/jrpie/launcher. You can install it from Accrescent. I haven't tested it out yet, but it's also minimal. Don't know if it supports PWA's.

@nprofile…x3lk I really like it so far. It's very keyboard centric, so it's quick and easy to use on desktop. Sync has been reliable across devices. I like how simple, yet powerful it is. Notes are stored as markdown files, mobile is a PWA, and the interface is very clean.

Reminder to go through the apps on your phone & computer.
Don’t use it? Delete it.
Installed it and forgot (that’s me)? Delete it.
Too distracting? Delete it.
If you're curious, I made a page with the apps I use — https://sideofburritos.com/docs/setup-guides/what-i-use/

@nprofile…lpgr Wow, I had no idea this existed. Installed and I will be using it in the future, thanks!

New rule: if something takes over 5 minutes to figure out, you should document it. I spent ~10 min figuring out how to SCP a file from a machine on fly.io. It takes extra time now, but your future self will thank you. Much easier than searching your bash history.

If you use SSH in your daily life, make a habit of using `screen`
Start a new screen session: screen
Start a named session: screen -S session_name
List active sessions: screen -ls
Attach to a session: screen -r session_name
Detach from a session: Ctrl+A, D

Just published a video on how I install apps after 3 years of using GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel.
